Hpefully no matter what WoTC decides to do, they will have a good, frequently updated, SRD that will allow 3rd party publishers to create supplements and materials that are fully compatible with all these kinds of changes. With all the changes brewing with 4e an underdone SRD will be less than...

Way too many gems splashed everywhere. Never saw that cover. Got a link? Wyrmshadows

LOL I suppose there can be a rather specialized cadre of mages who work partial transformations on willing individuals. As it stands most transformative magic is too completely transformative to allow for anything of the old gender to remain. There may be a 3rd party niche book coming out for...

So we have: Boobarmor Hookerplate How about: Stripperarmor I like that one too. Honestly, some of the outfits worn by female warriors in the old Caldwell paintings from the 80s would rather well suit the young woman who would like to change careers from exotic dancer to adventurer while at...

AMEN brother! Versimilitude MATTERS! Wyrmshadows

You all make some good points. Can't really argue against them, not that this was my purpose in the first place. Only time will tell how this all plays out. Hopefully it will be something I can work with. Wyrmshadows

It's true that America LOVES its violence but is terrified by sex while paradoxically addiction to pornography seems to have hit epic levels. America is filled with closet pervs. Americans are obsessed with sex but we hate ourselves for it because deep inside there is still a hellfire and...

I can't argue with delaying it in order to get it right. That's understandable. I guess as a DM with a long running world that has transcended D&D versions over the years (and even rule systems from time to time) I am bothered by the delay because winging this much stuff is a bit of a problem...

IMO its counterintuitive that a necromancer, illusionist, conjurer, enchanter is anything other than a different flavor of wizard. Fantasy fiction is full of this kind of thing. An enchanter is a wizard who does enchantment, a conjurer is a wizard who summons things, etc. Note, I thought the...

I have to say I agree with you both. After considering it from that angle...I must say that you are probably correct. Wyrmshadows

Bad, bad bad on all counts. From what I read from WoTC is appears that necromancy, enchantment and summoning are going to be removed from mages making them essentially walking siege engines designed to control a battlefield with powerful spell effects. That's fine, but ALL 4e wizards are...

I think that "hookerplate" has its place, however that place isn't in a quasi-medieval setting where folks where chain and plate regularly and such armor is completely impractical. Its silly, not because of some cheesecake factor, but because such armor, or lack thereof, would get you killed...

Androgyny scares the hell out of many males of all cultures, it violates deeply held tribal taboos regarding gender identity. I remember two guys I know who saw the movie Alexander and were freaked out by one character, one who was androgynous that Alexander had a fling with. The fact that the...

That some male gamers can be offended by what is an excellent representation of a sun-god (who wouldn't have any concerns about the praticality of his dress) bespeaks volumes about their insecurities as opposed to the painting itself. That painting is not a sexualizing of anything more than it...

QFT But how could you show off your cool powers if you weren't fighting several times a day, EVERY DAY? :\ Wyrmshadows

Hey if you ever convert to a sig user...feel free to quote me anytime. ;) Wyrmshadows

LOL You got me. :o Sometimes its hard to tell online whether someone is serious or not. Its that whole lack of vocal inflection, tonality and body language thing. Sorry about that. Wyrmshadows

Oh c'mon this isn't chemistry. Silver effects werewolves because it is the metal of the moon symbolically. Werewolves are a corruption that is tied to the cycles of the moon. Silver represents the moon's purity and therefore destroys the corruption the werewolf represents. Cold iron is useful...

I'm relatively pro-4e but there are some things that seem too gamist to me. For 24yrs I have been involved in either playing (rarely) or DMing D&D from OD&D to 3.5e and have never seen a player have a problem when their character wasn't particularly effective against a certain kind of monster...

Victimized by racism, sexism, homophobia or religious intolerance much? As someone who has been on the receiving end of racism (being half African American) and religious intolerance (being non-Christian) I can say that even though sometimes folks go too far....(No "HO, HO, HO" at Christmas...
