    KotS and Irregular Party Size?

    For me I simply reduce the numbers of the opponents. Usually each encounter involves 5 creatures (4 minions counts as 1) so I simply remove creatures from the encounter (although I try to have one representative monster as much as possible).

    PHBIII and IV: Oriental Adventures?

    Actually in an interview with Rob Heinsoo, those oriental "ki" classes might be popping up in the future. The question is whether to release it as part of the PHB set or in its own handbook (i.e. Martial Power).

    No more paralyzed condition?

    Carrion Crawler's paralysis is effectively stunned so I'd just use Stun. Other options include Restrained.

    Beware this dire warning. Ignore it at your peril!

    As a GM who's used Purple Worms in 4E, I never really got to use that particular ability because it's actually very difficult to meet the conditions to use it: 1) PC must be grabbed at the start of the Purple Worm's turn 2) PC must be bloodied 3) Attack roll vs. Fortitude And believe me, I've...

    Edition Signature Settings (and a farewell to the Realms)

    You can probably look for more campaign support in Dragon/Dungeon. The 1 Campaign Setting rule only applies to their books. Also, FR is getting indirect support from the RPGA.

    Barbarian in September's Dragon

    Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5XWC1_Zfkw Also there should be at least one more free issue before they start charging.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder BETA - Some Sizzle, Not Much Steak

    Glassjaw: One thing to bear in mind though are the design goals of Pathfinder RPG (it's in the Introduction page). Your assessment may be correct but the question is, what that what Pathfinder promised to do? Failure to Address Core Issues: The problem with the "problems of 3.xx" is that...

    Merric's thoughts on "Against the Giants" (DDM)

    Rust Monster will be in the next expansion. (Edit: Source http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4dnd/20080815) As for Aquatic-themed monsters, for me that's probably unlikely mainly because aquatic-themed games aren't as popular (nor are there DDM maps that really support aquatic themes)...

    Healing Strike

    Check p.277 of the PHB. Marked creatures get a -2 penalty to attacks on creatures that didn't mark them.

    Healing Strike

    The mark isn't a drawback. Theoretically, you use Healing Strike so that not only do you heal an ally, but the opponent also gets penalties for attacking that wounded ally of yours.

    4E is unacceptable

    First off, you're entitled to your own opinion. Some games work for some people, others don't. Having said that, I want some things clarified. RPGA - I don't see how the present RPGA is any different from the RPGA of the past few years. Incompleteness of the Books - There's another thread on...

    Pathfinder 1E D&D4 and Pathfinder can coexist

    Both can co-exist. Even during the days of 3.5, we had alternate systems like Osiric and True20. I don't see how any of this is different. In the end, Paizo will succeed on its own merits rather than WotC's. The same goes for WotC.

    DDI for $7.95

    Below is a chart of instances on when I think a PDF would be preferable (left side) and when a print product is advantageous (right side). Of course it bears noting that not everything is rated equally and some people will prioritize one item over another. Not included is the quality of the...

    DDI for $7.95

    Usually at the end of the month, when the magazines get compiled. Having said that, I expect the earlier releases to have errata while the latter of the month releases not so much (less feedback time, less time to input necessary errata). They're not. Could be considered a failure on WotC's...

    DDI for $7.95

    They are cheaper at what they're planning to sell it right now. It's around 50% of what the magazines costs, plus you're getting some other applications. Again, as I said in my original reply, if you don't like the adventures, that's perfectly understandable and it's as simple as not...

    DDI for $7.95

    Yes. I think it's pretty much an admission that some of the applications, like the virtual tabletop, still has a bunch of kinks.
