    ARGH! Mixing natural and manufactured weapons woes

    Yes, I am leaning that way too. But since I an unsure I would just like to see the math to back it up. I wonder if you are right about C being considered 2-weapon fighting. I didn't think so, based on what I read. As an exercise for myself, I will add the actual weapons I am considering and...

    ARGH! Mixing natural and manufactured weapons woes

    Holy. Moley. What did I get myself into here? I am putting together a Dragon Disciple character and all was well and good when I ignored his Bite and Claw attacks...but NOOOOOOOOOOO, I had to go and see if using his natural weapons were worthwhile as well. What a can of worms I opened. When...

    Domain System for all PCs - Revisted?

    Hmmm...it seems like there is enough interest that perhaps someone should ask Dragoth to post it again? If I knew him, or his email, I would. Cheiromancer, looking forward to it. Thanks!

    Domain System for all PCs - Revisted?

    Thanks Golem, but that's not it. :( The system I am thinking of used the term Domain, but was really a set of "paths" (constructed LIKE domains) that all classes can take to personalize them. I'm starting to think it was posted on the old boards, before the switch over. :confused...

    D&D 4.0 - What the?

    In our games if a player feels like supplying a creative description for a spell, we just let them. As long as everyone involved knows that it's only for flavor and does not affect the technical aspects of the spells, why not? For instance, almost everyones Magic Missile look differently. As...

    Domain System for all PCs - Revisted?

    Wow, I remember this thing drew a lot of attention when it was posted, and now nobody remembers it??

    Domain System for all PCs - Revisted?

    A while age someone (sorry, don't remember) posted a thread in which they described a whole new system of domains for all classes, not just clerics. Every new level the character would get abilities based on the "domain" chosen. I thought the system seemed very simple and elegant and I would...

    D&D 4.0 - What the?

    I'll say it yet again: Give us the 4.0 Beta !!! Then they will have more market research than they'll know what to do with. ;) While I am here, here is another idea I have mentioned in the past. Right after the COMBAT section of every monster writeup in the various manuals and modules have...

    Conan or Elric?

    Yes, but I am pretty sure that Gary was talking about the origins of the game, not "what it is today".

    D&D 4.0 - What the?

    I am seeing the general trend here to give characters even more goodies. I am of the opinion they we should take away some of their power. At least at high level. The power curve should not be exponential, it should be linear. Add this to my list as well: Give classes automatic ranks in...

    D&D 4.0 - What the?

    God I hope not. I think spellcasters are powerful enough, and multiclassing them SHOULD hurt. You think the power curve it high now, wait until they "fix" this and people start rolling up barbarian/sorcerer/cleric/druids. :eek: People are always going to want everything for their PCs...

    D&D 4.0 - What the?

    Also, I am hoping that someone somewhere at WOTC would realize that "mountains of feedback" are a GOOD thing. :D

    D&D 4.0 - What the?

    My feeling is that no matter what it takes it would be worth it in the long run. At the very least there wouldn't be a lot of errata put out shortly after the books are printed. So far we've had 3.0, 3.0 errata, 3.0 second printing, 3.5, 3.5 errata. I for one don't want to go thru that again...

    Conan or Elric?

    When you say Conan, what medium/stories do you mean? I ask because I can't believe someone would not be interested in REH's original stories. tell me you are referring to the movies or the comics at least.

    Conan or Elric?

    Ha. Thanks for clearing that up for him. I chuckled inwardly at the irony of the disagreement. :) Good to see you still around, Colonel. :cool:

    D&D 4.0 - What the?

    I am amazed, shocked even. That no one else likes the idea to see the 4.0 beta before WotC makes it law. Remember, I am not saying that the system should be built by a disorganized mob. WotC still needs to put together the beta, on their own, before releasing it for mass consumption. And then...

    D&D 4.0 - What the?

    Well, I guess I just have lost confidence with them. I don't really trust they will make all the right choices anymore. I would much rather trust the people on this board, for instance, then their playtesters it seems. There, I said it. :eek: If you don't like the idea of giving the 4.0...

    D&D 4.0 - What the?

    "tone down" <> "take away". But fine, the idea was to try and make them the swaskbucklers of the group, or closest to it. So give them some lightly armored melee bonuses and leave SA alone..maybe tweak another area. But I do find it funny that your very post seems to suggest that the SA...

    D&D 4.0 - What the?

    But wouldn't you agree it's a start? It would be one way for US to get at THEM before they print IT. See? Note also that I suggested they monitor the gaming cummunity at large and if they MUST, only their own boards. But yeah, I agree with you, that would not be my first choice to find rules...

    D&D 4.0 - What the?

    I have another idea for 4.0. I feel so STRONGLY about this one that I ask people to please forgive all the caps used below. TO WOTC: PLEASE post the SRD4.0 FIRST, before you print the books. Make them available for a good 3 months or more. Invite the enormous amount of players and rules...
