Far and away my favorite comedian. I'll miss him, and plan to listen to his CDs as a personal tribute over the next few weeks.

I'd put it at Paragon Tier... maybe even Epic. Given the limit on at-will powers coupled with a dearth of Paragon and Epic tier feats will basically make this a must have. I don't think it'll kill the game by any stretch, but I would expect almost every player to take it at some point.

I'm uncomfortable with allowing temporary hp to stack ad infinitum. I don't have the rules in front of me, but it seemed pretty clear that the highest value supercedes any other sources of Temp HP. Guess it's not as clear as I thought. I'm going to stick with my interpretation for now, though.

- Fighters get a bonus to hit with a particular weapon type - Many Fighter Dailies are Reliable - Fighters can Mark multiple foes. - Combat Challenge Mechanically, the Fighter is fine. He favors defending against more enemies, where the Paladin is better against fewer enemies, or one BBG. A...

Ah the big battle with Irontooth. That seems to be one of the toughest battles in the entire adventure. Looks like your PCs weathered it well, with a few close calls for Greldo.

I've started doing my own interpretations of the various Demon Lords. I hope to give each one a stat block, Knowledge DCs, and an Exarch that can be used for Epic-level play. Always happy to receive feedback. The first Demon Lord is Dagon, and I'll post his Exarch in the next day or two. You...

I feel like elves have some more interesting things going on this time around. We have a split, but it's significant. I could never get behind all the wood elves and grey elves and sun elves and moon elves and aquatic elves and all that silliness. We'll probably get more of those silly races...

Well, first of all, that assumes magic items can be bought and sold. That's a case-by-case thing, not an inherent understanding of the system. (Though 4e does mention merchants and the possibility that certain ones might possess magic items, I recall it also mentioning that this is not usually...

Don't count on Wizards to give you the minis you want. That's what ebay is for. :)

You... seem to have not read the book then. Very different mechanics for both those Paragon Paths.

Certainly less than the core when 3.0 came out in 2000. I do think we've got a tighter core of classes this go around. Just my opinion, of course. But back in 3e we had some really bland classes (fighter) some front loaded classes (paladin, ranger), and some dominating classes (cleric...

We have three strikers, and each is pretty different from the others. I think it's fine, honestly. Besides, monks clearly do not belong in the Martial category. Really, they don't belong in the D&D category, but that's another story.

Why am I playing 4th ed? Because I like it. But I haven't suddenly stopped playing 3rd edition either. Because I also like that.

Completely agree. I tend not to flesh out my campaign settings with too much detail, because I want the actual game to fill in the details. But after reading this, I think I'll make a more concerted effort to put together a one-page primer to create a firmer skeletal structure. Then before...

Well this setting and your characters are ridiculously, ridiculously cool. Very evocative. I particularly like how the players have brought significant influence to the setting primer: eladrin caravans, mute masked tribes, the prominence of the Raven Queen. This is the kind of thing that...

Oh ok, gotcha!

Not having the specific Warlock or Tiefling flavor text at hand, why would this combination be so strange? I know that Tieflings are descendants of devil-blooded humanoids, and I know that Warlocks make pacts with otherworldly entities. Other than that, I'm not understanding why this would be...

Cool stuff. I've always liked the idea of the Astral Sea as a literal sea. I like how you've incorporated a lot of strange metaphysical elements into the "real" world. I don't know if it's been mentioned before but there's lots of potential for Lovecraftian mythos and Far Realm scariness...

So now that we have the 4e attack and dice symbols (which are awesome, btw) what has happened to the rest of the smileys? Not having memorized the code for the others, I'm left with a short supply to convey my emotional feelings via code! And when I click on the "More" option I get: "Fatal...
