[edit: TOME IS NO LONGER MENTIONED AS A PRIMARY WIZARD CASTING IMPLEMENT. THE CHANGE WAS MADE AFTER THIS THREAD BEGAN.] When you think of a wizard casting spells using an key item such as a staff, wand or orb (or book), what affects are usually associated with each? * In my mind, a wizard uses...

Seems like it's an iffy descriptive difference. No insult intended to your interpretive ability, S, because I probably couldn't come up with an alternative description that would be any better. And that's my point -- why link THIS spell with a wand and THAT spell with a staff? The WotC...

I hate logging into games that have a slow rez rate. Drives me crazy to change scenes and have my avatar invisible, fuzzy or naked.

Experience tells me that I'm not going to be satisfied with the way the game designers justify which spells are linked to which implements. Zapping with a wand makes sense, but then where are they going to draw the line at how powerful you can zap with a staff?

It runs parallel to a warrior needing special implements -- armor and weapons -- to accomplish his own job. So I'm OK with it that way. But. Just seems sorta ... Something. I haven't figured it out yet.

I was hoping at least one OD&D player would have gotten the reference. You have no idea how hard I worked on ensuring my magic-user had an 18 Dexterity on top of his remarkable intelligence so I could make the class switch. (Or at least I think that was one of the prereqs. It's been so long...

Will 4th edition allow me to play the magic-user & illusionist dual-class character I've always wanted to play?

In the last gaming group I joined we each kept track of our points, sometimes down to splitting big monsters according to whether a PC had taken part in the slay-action -- if you helped even a little, you got a share; otherwise none for that particular critter. On one hand it was kind of nice...

Anyone here play in a group where the entire adventuring party is promoted in experience levels at the same time? So instead of micro-managing each character's individual tally, the DM (via estimation or elaborate math equations) just keeps track of one experience point pool and everyone goes...

Wild idea: All characters begin without a race but with two extra feats. Then you must declare a race: If you want to be human, you spend one of those feats on the "+1 skill pt/level" ability and save the second feat to use later. If you want to be a non-human (elf, dwarf, ect.), you spend your...

And then there are some of us who are fundamentally unable to dismiss your experience because we don't know about it to begin with, but who still want to make our own guesses regardless.

It's all in how you clip your excerpts: Interesting.

I keep hearing about this "Will" guy and I have no idea who the heck he is.

I wonder how often this will come up? http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=206113

Bard. With an extra shrill voice.

We need an official statement on 4th edition dwarf women beards. Who wants to go on a quest to find it?

You're right. That's what I did after saving a copy of Klaus's work from the previous page. The women look much more dwarvish now. :)

Beards on dwarven women are merely evidence that Chuck Norris has sex whenever and with whomever he wants. ((Cross-thread pollenation!))_

A little female facial hair isn't the end of the world. Some of you guys are acting as though you've found out your girlfriend has webbed toes, or a lisp, or freckles, or something truly horrifying. A braided beard can be quite adorable on a sexy dwarven warrior - if it's done right, she doesn't...
