I gotchya'. I try to encourage my PCs to just describe things and roll dice/describe their actions in a nifty storylike fashion, but the only PC who takes advantage of rarely speaking in game terms was a oWoD Storyteller. My point is that I concede your point, but I think that in certain...

What about a slight bump to the PC's (or the two buddy cops) Stats, powers, hp, action points (On a whim I'd say an extra encounter and/or daily, and +1 action point(s) in all regards, +50% hp, and +1 to two stats), and then a slight nerf to the badguys? -2 defenses, and half hp? ...Although, I...

Good read, and I think the capture instead of TPK is an excellent choice. I assume their gear may appear on random guys in the encounters now? I'm amused by something. The way the badguys would automatically strip the party of their weapons, etc. In my pre-4e group, the PCs captured a...

Amirian feints and the goblin picador falls for it, leaving him open to attack. He slams his dagger into the monster's flesh and with a shove sends it back three paces. Amirian quickly follows and then with a surge of adrenaline, rams his blade into the foe with a flourish. The creature falls to...

I think of the 4e 'encounter' as a WoD scene. Also, I think plot reasons like, "Must accomplish goal X within Y days" would deal with everyone rocking the narcolepsy. I think marking and effects is the joint job of the dm and the PC who used the effect. Sleep is sort of underwhelming... except...

Totally sent that comic to friends just now. Rad. As far as the minion swarm goes... I like the idea of the PCs dealing with groups of goblins all at once rather than a bunch of minions. Could be fun. Could get old... but I think it would really help for those truly epic PC parties that take on...

Wow, a long (but worthy) write-up. Very interesting. I'll try to help w/ what I can... edit... ninja'd like woah.

Good advice! To the OP, I'd like to say that a write up'd rock.

Thanks for the info. Good times.

Was this addressed? Selfish concern, but I wish to express concern, anyway.

I'm amazed more people didn't reply... From my one and a half runs of escape from Sembia at a store... Don't forget that a lot of monsters use recharge mechanics. Don't forget that enemies are vulnerable to certain attacks. Those are just based on things that the GM did which resulted in a...

Especially, this post. I have the books pre-ordered, but I may go out and grab a fresh PHB on June 6th just in case.

Thanks! And I would like to agree with those who request that the errata be corrected. (Or errataed... whatever boats your float)

no problem. Alas, I've had mine reserved for a few months now. If it were somehow an awesomely early thing, I'd totally make the trek. I do hope people see this and go, though. Be sure to write up how it goes! I totally dig reading about people's 4experiences.

Why Saterday and not Saturday? If one wins the raffle, will they walk out w/ a PHB or will they get it when the book is released?

this. I played pretty strict 3.x for four or five years. Then a lot of things seemed weird and silly (Strict Vancian magic among other things), especially when a friend got me into WoD. I pretty much only played WoD for the next year or two, and then started a 3.5 D&D game on a whim. It pretty...

Man, there are some decent threads back-logged in here. I would love it if some people would throw down their KotS experiences here.

That is a good point. Assuming the hammer the halfling paladin has is a heavy thrown weapon, and prof 1, then that would add up... it would also add up for the longsword on the Paladin. Nice thinking. I was about to suggest it might be a paladin 'build'-thing, but the defenders get +1 to melee...

Good question, Family. -Weapon proficiencies, -Warlock Pacts (*What feature the level one pact choice yields, esp. for infernal*) and @Wills, -Builds for every class (I'm under the impression that just about every class will have two or more 'builds' available). -Also, do base classes get a...

I do so love that quote. Thanks Verys for speaking up about the PrRC. The +1 for Defenders does make sense... the ramifications would be interesting... Shortsword'd be only prof 2, Throwing Hammer would be 1 as well... it'd affect a lot of things. I prefer to believe that the Shortsword is 3...
