And this proves your point because...?

Thanks! I must say I love what I've seen so far. I hope my books ship ASAP...

Ok, I've got a couple of questions about fighters if you don't mind :) 1) One of the first articles about 4e said that the weapon you chose to use as a fighter would impact your powers/feats selection. Is this still the case? 2) Swordmaster paragon path...(*drools a couple of minutes*)...care...

IIRC, sometime ago I read that high level fighters had a class feature ( feat? ) that let them add Dex to AC when wearing heavy armor. I'm not sure, though :)

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, here :) I simply think they didn't bother to hype 3e as well 'cause 3.x and the d20 system kinda speak for themselves when it comes to quality. TBH, my comment that "In that respect, at least, it seems like 4e is covered", referred to the problems that...

Well, while my old group ranges from 27 to 42, I believe 3e brought its fair share of new blood. It's true that since most young players I know are students, they hardly buy anything but the PHB and a couple of splatbooks, but my FLGS probably sells its fair share of splats. Furthermore, 10-15...

Same here. I guess I'll try a fighter/rogue or a fighter/ranger.

I'd love to support the launch as well, but I'm afraid I'm out of luck ( and money ^^' ) these days. I guess I' ll have to wait until late july to try out the game. Have a nice trip, guys :D (odio quando bollette, condominio e affitto trimestrale mi cascano sullo stesso mese :P)

Well, most children feel like they're neglected when they first have a brother. It doesn't mean they are. WotC staffers like 4e, that's no surprise, considering they've come up with it, so they've probably done everything they could to make it as good as they think, and now they're telling us...

I've owned my Cpu for quite a long time now. It's been 2 years since I upgraded it, and it's starting to feel outdated. It doesn't suck, but the day I upgrade it I won't be using it again, ever, 'cause I'll have something better to use. A game system isn't that different from a personal...

Uhm, IMO, most WotC staffers aren't bashing 3.x, at all. It's just that they're releasing an improved version of the game...so, they're comparing the two, and explaining why they think the changes they've done will make the game better. I don't think I've read anything that sounded like: "Ah...

Frankly put, who cares? WotC doesn't run my games, I do. When WotC screws a rule that interacts with other rules (ie. trip being to weak/too powerful), so that I have to adjust a ton of feats/rules just to make the game work as I wish, that's a problem. If WotC thinks I should/should not award...

Uh? I'm not sure what you mean here. An ability score of 8 still gives a -1 penalty. Look at the DDXP characters. "No penalties" means "No racial penalties". And, just in case you have a problem with the "no racial penalties to ability scores" thing, in a game where ability scores are used as...

Case 4: The monster attacks both the paladin and the fighter with a breath attack or an area spell. He doesn't draw any free attack, since he hits both of them. He's not restricted to melee, spells and spell like abilities ARE attacks. Furthermore, the paladin draws an AoO everytime he moves...

Yes, assuming the fighter's AoOs always hit . Furthermore, as I said, if the paladin does not shift, he'll eat an AoO from the solo monster as well. If he shifts, the monster can shift as well as long as his land speed is at least equal to the paladin's. The fighter can attack the monster if he...

Well, this tactic is effective only against a solo monster; Requires that the fighter takes care of the paladin instead of the squishies; Doesn't work if your opponent has some kind of ranged ability as well; Uses the paladin's standard attack each round; Furthermore, you're assuming that...

You should pay a visit to the 3e CO boards sometimes. Really.

I believe the point Hong's trying to make is that if the "rats" aren't considered hostile, then you can't BoR, and since deciding if something as a rat or a lemure, in this case, is hostile is up to the DM, he could in fact ban the BoR outright by simply deciding that the rats weren't considered...

Not really, since the problem with the BoR was never that PCs looked stupid with all those bags full of living rats they carried around, but that whirlwind + great cleave, under the right circumstances, gave them way more attacks than they were intended to have. Since the Pit Fiend can only...

The Pit Fiend carring around "explosive minions" and the BoR aren't even remotely related, IMO. The BoR was a rules exploit, that was unbalanced and made no sense ("Hey! As long as I keep killing rats in one hit, I can get an infinite number of cleave attacks on the BBEG! Cool!"), and you didn't...
