I houseruled the golf club problem away with alchemical weapon oils that acted as the substance (silver, cold iron, adamantine, etc.) for 10 rounds or 10 swings, which ever comes first. 1 use, and over 250g/vial was enough to balance it out at higher levels, especially for high BAB classes.

Exactly. WotC has been talking about the 1st public demos of 4e being played at D&DXP, that will be where the rubber meets the road, as they say.

Yeah, the average length was for discussion purposes (one long game may be an exception to the rule, but I might have chosen poorly with the poll... :\ ), and also because I didn't think that I could include two polls, sorry about any confusion.

This. Also, if Playtester X drops a laundry list of complaints on a forum, all it will do is cause 'net drama, because that tester may very well (like Andy said) be working off of older material which has already been fixed. Besides, the whole idea of beta testing (and this is true of the...

I've seen posts on a few boards about people playing in, or running FR campaigns that have lasted (or are still being played after) 10, 15 or even 20 years. Now, I've been playing RP games for around 14-15 years, and only two of those have lasted for over a year of consistent play (a 2e DarkSun...

I'm going to take a guess that the Monk will be in here. No, I don't have a shred of evidence, but I really want it to have the Monk :lol:

I haven't played a game where a healer critting against an enemy would innately heal the party, but a few games (WoW and CoH are the only ones I have experience with in this example) allow healers to crit-heal and ally under the same rules as crit-damage to foes, althought that doesn't seem to...

We need a piratical Rouse. Hat and Parrot are optional, though encouraged.

I could be wrong, but I distinctly remember someone (Rich Baker?) saying that "Points of Light" was going to remain a concept, and that what we get from them in regards to the "setting" is really just an example of names for different places/objects/events and so on. For example, the "default"...

I'm more devastated by the arguments over how devastated the Realms are than the devastation itself :p

Actually, about Thay, Richard Lee Byers has an excellent (IMO) trilogy in the works, beginning with Unclean. To sum it up, Tam creates conditions whereby he and a few Tharchions (provincial governors) are actively at war with the remaining Zulkirs (2 die, the Transmuter, who's replaced by a...

The 100 year jump is believed by some fans to be accurate, but WotC has yet to release any official info. They have some Realmslore articles slated for January, IIRC, so we may hopefully find out in a few weeks.

You got me :) No, I've never had the opportunity to play Eberron, as my group has a large percentage of big time Realms fans in it... Now that you mention it, though, it's an interesting, albeit icky, concept (j/k) :lol:

(Emphasis mine) I'll respectfully disagree with you here, as I happen to love having a heavily detailed world. Also, I spoke to Chris Perkins at Digital Life, and most of the changes will be happening in regions that the FR staff feels are under-utilized for campaigns. Most of those (Anauroch...

I'd prefer full-blood Orcs to Half-Orcs. If they're pushing the Orc towards being a standard PC race (The Orc King, set in FR starts doing exactly that), then I find it hard to see Half-Orcs around, as they tend to be a reminder that Orcs like to... well... let's just say that I've never heard...

Hey! That was me! :D Yes, Chris Perkins did say that hints could be gleaned from The Orc King, and I do get the feeling that they're pushing approximately 100 years after the Spellplague. This allows them to rebuild the pantheons, alter civilizations, establish borders, etc. and (I imagine)...

Oh, definitely.... I'm actually quite hopeful that this will be a good, albeit, different version of the Realms. I'm more hoping that we can get some articles to stop the nigh-constant doomsaying that you see on the Wizards/Gleemax boards, but it's likely as not - now that I think on it - that...

I'll be posting this in a few places, please forgive me if you see this in a few different forums... Since the announcement of 4th Edition, I've taken to reading and posting on forums that I had previously just lurked. After years of playing, reading about, and enjoying not only Forgotten...

This. Also, I'm stealing that as my sig, if you don't mind :D

That could be true, but I read it as "You won't be seeing massive power spikes, just gradual increases." Which is to say that your lv 30 characters will still be truly epic, but the move from 20 to 21 won't unleash a violent torrent of power and riches upon them, it'll be just like going from 19...
