    D&D 4E Should WotC Release 4E Now?

    I think they'll probably stick with the release date, since they're also trying to promote Game Day on June 7th.

    D&D 4E 4E-inspired art...

    Your depiction of the elemental chaos is excellent.

    Wow... Encounters are quickly made.

    I'll be building 99.9% of my NPCs as monsters, so I don't think that'll be an issue. Only very important (and very nasty) NPCs will be built with character classes. I plan on building my own monsters, but I don't factor that time into game prep, just system creation time. Encounter design...

    Eladrins, Tieflings, Dragonborn Too Far Outside Standard Fantasy?

    I think people's opinions about the new races boils down to resistance to change. There is nothing inherently wrong with changing what races are Core in DnD. It's just some aren't going to like it.

    Oh God the Ads! Stop the Ads!

    The top ad is cool. Doubling up with the sidebar is annoying, and also messes with the page setup of the rest of the board. Not a fan.

    Epic Destinies... Really? That's all of 'em?

    The Epic Destiny section is certainly lacking. Thank goodness for all the Paragon Paths we get. They offer a few abilities and a power each, but they really seem like just a plot device to call it quits after level 30. Which I'm ok with, but others might not be.

    How are you going to fix half-elves?

    I was thinking about removing the encounter-only restriction on the extra at-will power. That might be too good. I'll have to digest the rules more before making a decision.

    The pendulum swings back: Humans suck once again

    Humans are fine. It's the half-elves that are disappointing. I like the concept, but it never seems to be as mechanically interesting as other races.

    "Charging provokes attacks of opportunity."

    Well, that ruling is going to hurt your players far more than any monsters, as they'll mostly likely take more OAs than give over the course of a campaign. While I agree that exceptions trump general rules, I really don't believe charge is intended to provoke OAs from the target, only those the...

    Yet another look at KotSF/4th Ed.

    I believe I have solved this problem. Simply rename him "Malephant."

    KotS TPK

    Gotcha. I must not have gotten to the PDF until after the update.

    I don't get it...

    Impressions from KotS

    Quick question that's probably been addressed somewhere, but In Kelarel's statblock there's mention of a Shadow Form (or something like that) ability. However, I scanned his statblock a few times and didn't see it. Am I going blind, or is this another editorial snafu? I noticed he has two...

    Tiefling Warlord for KotS + Extra Skill Challenge

    That would also solve the problem of paying for the final product which, while I'm happy to do, is no problem with me. :D

    Tiefling Warlord for KotS + Extra Skill Challenge

    Mmm, I hope so. Infernal Wrath makes a nice, flavorful boost and is especially tasty for Paladins and Warlocks

    D&D 4E How Do You Plan to Fix 4E?

    I don't understand this poll. Will the process be markedly different from house ruling any other game?

    Grognard's First Take On 4e

    Completely agree, but that's not always feasible. If he wants to run the game, I think he can do so with KotS and get a good approximation. Then he can check out the Core books and maybe he'll see some new rules and things that he couldn't experience in Shadowfell. Not everyone has $90 to...

    Grognard's First Take On 4e

    I personally have found teaser trailers pretty helpful determining what movies I want to see. That said, I'm not sure that's the best analogy, because a game system is a complex animal with a lot of moving parts (a morning for mixed metaphors!). I suspect a myriad of information has been cut...

    Excerpt: Archons (merged)

    What kind of response is that? Seriously. Obviously I don't see it that way, or else I wouldn't have posted on the matter. (And I'm not alone, by the way, though that shouldn't make a difference). You know, I'm starting to get a sense of how the people who don't like 4e feel. I'm just...
