Fair enough. I think at this point we just fundamentally disagree on points and we're getting nowhere. I think this is an either/or choice, and you don't. I understand what you're saying, I just disagree. If I say "I want to get something done by Friday," that is a deadline. Is it set in...

I'm not making myself clear, which I think is more the problem. You mentioned the bonuses based on build for certain encounter powers. I'm fine with those because they add to the base power. The base powers are roughly inline with other powers at the same level that don't have any "build...

What I would love to see is these box stores throw up solar panels on their roofs. It's not being used for anything else, and might actually save some money, especially now that solar power is starting to mature.

I'm confused, where am I? Why am I a figment of Primitive Screwhead's imagination, and how am I manifesting here? Hold me.

When you really think about it, a lot of powers are quite powerful when applied to the real world. To continue the electrical manipulation example: Not only the brain is electrical; most cells maintain a voltage gradient across the cell membrane (called membrane potential). It's necessary for...

Assuming that you: 1) Start at 20 squares away, and 2) Go early in the initiative order.

I don't mean the following to suggest piracy, as a disclaimer. Text-recognition programs are trivial to implement on images like this, even in PDF form. That's why you see (for example) CAPTCHAs with various distorting elements in them. That said, if someone really wanted to get the data, all...

They implied they had a daily model though, and they obviously set some sort of internal deadline. Otherwise, what's the point of the calendar? How would you even make it? If the intent was always to focus on a monthly e-zine, then the whole concept of the calendar is detrimental. I think we...

Brick and mortar, as opposed to online.

My apologies, I misread. I shudder to think if my group's Ranger or Avenger was able to take advantage of that. I get that. My argument is that getting that effective five monster coverage is very situational, as I've already described. In my opinion, it's too situational to be useful. If...

And for me, the fact that I'm paying them money for an online magazine means they can and should be held to a higher standard, and one not shackled by traditional media. For me, I expect that content comes out regularly (and for Dungeon/Dragon, that should be daily), that I know when exactly it...

1) It doesn't insta-kill. It's nasty to be sure, but it doesn't flat out kill the monster. And it still does have that 50% chance of waking up every round. If you can get five people to the sleeping guy to coup de grace him, the battle was over anyway. 2) It can't be controlled. It's...

I don't have an issue with powers being more useful for different builds. Heck, one of the things I wish they had done is the PHB1 is gone further with that. The issue with Sleep isn't that it's adding something extra for Orb Wizards. Rather, the issue is that without the save penalty, the...

I agree the text is unclear. The PHB is very poorly laid out with regards to terminology. My counter argument is that the game is usually very careful to use the term "attack" when something influences an attack roll.

Stalker0, I think you killed my post. I'm (roughly) reposting it with your reply below in quotes. My issue with Sleep is three-fold: 1) You're penalized twice to get the full effect of the spell; once on the attack roll, and once on the save. At best, you have a 50% chance of having the full...

Not anymore. I'll be by to collect your pre-Essentials books on Monday. Please have them ready for disposal. :p

Or rather, "Let's take a look at our back end and determine why those deadlines aren't being met, and if the deadlines we are setting are realistic."

If we're going out on a limb and making wacky guesses base on pure conjecture, I'll throw one out there. Bioware. Has enough money to buy it. Currently designing in the SW universe, and an MMORPG at that. Is not known for their miniatures, and is a relative unknown in the tabletop industry.

I get why they are doing this - it's clear they were missing deadlines left and right with the online content. The whole Executioner Assassin debacle is clearly the latest instance of that. That said, at this point in time, my trust in DDI has waned quite a bit. I can't take it in good faith...

Do you mean Highlander Tutu, where instead of kilts and sword fighting, it's ballet and pink frills? ;)
