Cool. I knew some of the things you mentioned but it's always nice to get more information, especially on someone as interesting as Genghis. And yes, it's true that things don't work the same in D&D as in the real world, but it's assumed that most characters have some training and background in...

Cool! I'm glad to have helped you out! Will I be quoted as a campaign contributer? ;)

Thanks for the link! I took a look at the info and while it mentioned that certain orders use the impliments to do different things, it does not state you HAVE to be part of the order to use the impliment. It's jsut stating that that is how THAT PARTICULAR ORDER uses their impliment. By the same...

Ok, what happens if right now you go to a convention. Does your gaming group play adhering 100% to the rules? Or, is your campaign like 99% of campaigns where you have house rules that modify some rule in the game. So when you go to a convention you'd need to change things anyway. So what is the...

Hmm..Ok, I can see your point. Flavor does have something to do with your immersion. The way I look at it is that A Warlord would be someone who leads others. Now if you compare a 1st level character against your typical town citizen you can see that they would be someone who would have better...

Hmm...a valid point. As a real world example I'm Black. Tho..not really. I'm more a cocoa-brown color. But my "race" of humanity has at various times in history been "given" names which we wouldn't necessarily call ourselves, but have stuck because others have thought they were appropriate and...

Thanks! And I'm all about the discussion, not everything is good with some of the changes, which is why the post. I just got tired of being frustrated at not knowing the reasoning behind the dislike/hatred and figured it's better to get it understood so that either I could see, or they could see.

No place in the information we have been given has said that to use the Feat Golden Wyvern Adept means you have to be part of some order. It may be that it was given that name because the Golden Wyvern Adepts were the first to develop it and use it until other swiped it for their own use. So if...

I have a couple of questions I’d like answered by all you smart people out there. These are honest questions, not an attempt to Troll, just someone who’s been a long time reader, sometime poster, who just doesn’t get it, and would like some body to explain it to me. Now I’m not a rabid 4E...

Well, considering that HPs are abstract...haven't you ever seen a movie where there is a firefight, things are going badly, people are falling all over the place, and THE HERO steps up and takes out a Big Bad in a flashy way which inspires the troops to fight on despite their wounds and...

Perhaps rather than trying to buy a 4e character with 28 points, the default needs to be higher now. What once used to be acceptable may now create sub-par characters. With a different paradigm you need to adapt your creation system, not stick to one that obviously doesn't work with the new...

The Model-T worked just fine too. Would you rather be driving that now or the cars they have now? Change isn't necessarily bad, and can be good if you give it a chance.

Actually you WILL be able to have that spiffy feat/prestige class - IF you already know what it does according to the text: To get access to the full details of the relevant rules and mechanical elements, though, you will need to own the E-version of the physical book where these rules or...

How about this: There is no "Healer" role because rather than just being a walking band-aid the cleric will fill one of the other roles AND heal. Their main job will no longer just be a healer, but, for example, a Leader who heals. From other things we have seen WoTC say, that fits in with the...

Also in the core books: The option to have your character be Chaotic Evil. If the game were, as you say, pretty much designed to be only heroic, WHY have the choice to be evil in the core book? IMHO it's because the designers forsaw that not everyone plays the same, and wanted to have people...

Can you quote exactly where your statistics come from. Because if you look at the posts on this board, the sides are pretty much even as far as who likes the allegedly (i use allegedly because we don't have hard facts, more just inference as far as the class being restricted to being evil -...

I guess it's just a matter of perspective: Warlock - Makes pacts with darker/shawdowy/feral powers Cleric - Makes pacts with lighter/deific powers And the difference is...? ;)

According to Wikipedia one of the definitions of Warlord is: The term can also mean one who espouses the ideal that war is necessary, and has the means and authority to engage in war. Doesn't sound from that description that the name Warlord would be any different from 1st to 30th level, it...

Actually, if I were doing a playtest I'd send out the classes/races/whatever that I needed testing on/bugs shaken out/confirmation they were good to go. So for example, if there were a balance problem that I just couldn't work out with an Eladrin Rogue, I'd send that character out to my testers...

Uhm...Where do you think Greyhawk and the Forgotten Realms came from? They were designers homebrew that became D&D. What's wrong with that happening?
