    Amazon got KotS here on release day. . .

    I paid for regular shipping and still haven't received mine.

    A Question of base attack

    Because it's just flat out stupid to have an 8th level fighter with 8 hitpoints, where an 8th level wizard could have 32.

    D&D 4E 4E Forgotten Realms Hopes/Fears ?

    You mean saurials, genasi, Halruuans and yuan-ti? Sounds like you're actually asking them to REMOVE stuff from the Forgotten Realms.

    Flanking question based on KotS

    Yeah, being opposite from someone but far away isn't flanking. You have to literally be on someones flank to flank them! No virtual flanking! Not having the rules in front of me yet, tho, I'm not sure if that means no combat advantage tho...

    Detect Magic is Dead

    I like the idea - it's like the Lore skill in NWN... Will save a lot of time and wasted spell slots.

    Minions are alien visitors from another kind of game

    Minions exist to provide bonuses to other monsters, some extreme. This is countered by their being eliminated quite easily. Most people who post about minions, in a negative way, don't understand the point or mechanics of minions. They believe they're there to provide a fake sense of grand...

    Keep on the Shadowfell - mini review ! <Very mild spoilers>

    I have no idea about the module, but common sense says that since t's a 6-hour rest you can take it once per day. It would be ridiculous if PC's could spend 18 hours out of the day resting and 6 hours adventuring. If they blow their daily on an encounter that didn't need it, they basically...

    Keep on the Shadowfell character sheet scans

    Is it just me, or is the human wizard almost identical to the tiefling wizard? If wizards have so few spell options they're all going to be the same, that's a problem. His at-wills are the same, his dailys are the same. Only his encounter power is different, plus an extra Ray of Frost for...

    Minion Fist Fights

    Most minions do additional damage per adjacent minion, or provide attack or damage bonuses to adjacent allied monsters, or provide other benefits to their presence above and beyond just being scenery. If you can't appreciate that, for example, kobold skirmishers get +1 to attack for EVERY...

    D&D 4E Piracy and 4e

    I've already preordered the Core Rules gift set... But if a pdf becomes available I'll definitely grab that too. I'm not sure what the law is regarding having digital copies of something you actually purchased, but having pdf's is insanely handy. I have a physical copy of RoTee, and a digital...

    Ranger Prime Shot

    I posted on this in the thread earlier, I would swear I did, but can't see my comment now. Anyway, Mearls stated in the racial excerpt or multiclass excerpt that half-elves come with built-in multiclassing at first level. Using at-wills as encounter powers is one of the features of...

    Warlock with Paladin Multiclass Feat grouped with Warrior

    Didn't they change it so that the challenger has to be directly involved in melee combat (not just melee range), and that the challengee must actually be able to engage them to suffer the non-engagement penalty?

    Step right this way .... the answer to all your problems (with healing surges)

    I don't have a problem with healing surges, personally.. PCs are Heroes! You can knock em down, but they get right back up and keep on coming after you. It requires a bit of a change in mindset, from "smalltown boy who makes it big" to "smalltown boy of exceptional talent gets even better"...

    D&D 4E Snippits of 4e info from Dungeoncraft Article

    Sounds a little generic to me... I'm glad he presented a scenario where something the PCs saw at level 1 makes a big impact at level 30.

    Multiclassing.

    I did most of my "weird combinations" in NWN2... Some of them were fun, or outrageously powerful. But it would be too much work and hassle to try to do pen & paper, I think. And too artificial, since NWN and similar games only 'imitate' roleplaying.

    Mods: Please merge the multiclassing threads!!

    What's aggravating is that the one guy didn't even look to see if it was already posted, and the other guy KNEW it was already posted and did it anyway. I give big kudos to the guy who posted it early in the hopes of preventing the Scoop spamming that happens here every couple days.

    Multiclassing.

    Awesome idea... Maybe this will prevent the 5 simultaneous "scoops" that show up on the front page every other day.

    Elite minions

    The /10 is it's bloodied condition. Half it's hitpoint total. That's all that 10 means. It's not damage resistance or anything.
