No doubt the first book was the best... the other books touch on a few controversal issues... one of my favorite aspects was the detached nature of the gods. There is the Creator (Good) and the Keeper (Evil)... however, the gods' will is unknown throughout the series. People do all kinds of...

See this is something I would really like... no more classes in splat... just more options for the classes we already have. If this is going to be the new marketing dynamic then sign me up :). William Holder

Is the Martial power akin to Ki power? If so I could see all of the Martial Oriental classes (Samurai, Ninja, Kensei, Monk, et. al.) appearing... but if not then what is left for Martial? It seems we are operating under the idea that Martial power is high skill (Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie...

The last info on pricing I've heard was each book was going to retail for $34.95 x 3 = $104.85... or pay a dime more for the gift set @ $104.95. William Holder

John Rodgers... I LOVE YOUR SIG! Great post btw. William Holder

Yeah, in our 3.x games we axed all half-breeds... along with subraces. Back on point, I would not be against naming halflings as Kender... and if you are looking for a good reasson to keep the Halfling in 4e I would direct your attention to the cover of Dragon #285...

I suspect it's a money issue over anything else. Halflings, having to be differenated from Hobbits due to intellectual property rights, have finally gained their own identity (or borrowed identity from Kender). There is nothing wrong with bringing back your furry footed Hobbit in house...

That would be the problem in trying to sort this out logically... nothing can be itself and it's opposite at the same time... 9th Wizard Rule. William Holder

Well I guess that does it... I firmly believe in 4e cosmology. ;) Great analogy! :) William Holder

I did want to add that God's not knowing where a soul goes could play into a greater design of Reincarnation ( the spell or what happens if you cross over into the great beyond... complete with mind wipe:) )... or why there are time issuses for True Resurrection... or why True Resurrection can...

I have always felt that in D&D a mortal's soul continues to the great beyond. However, there are rare occasions of devout faith where a soul attracts the notice of a Deity. If the soul upheld the highest ideals of their God throughout their lives... or the mortal was cut down while in the...

Aye... I had forgot about that wiki... I may have to start filling it out with some spells my players and I have come up with in the past year or so :) /evil grin William Holder PS ~ phloog, the people on these boards are great and after reading some of the things they come up with in their...

That's just amazing... I never noticed and I must have read those books a dozen times or so... well I'll probably still call it the Prime Material Plane out of habit... wonder why they changed it... the "Sliders" concept was a very cool switch to play on plane jumping PC's ;). William Holder

Well I can dig that I guess... Astral Projection is a little trickier... just as long as it's easier to explain to new players than the difference between Invisible, ethereal, and all points in-between. William Holder

Does anyone know if WotC has scraped the Ethereal Plane. I can't seem to find any mention of it. The Astral Plane is now a Sea... adrift with all kinds of Deity House Boats even the Feywild is hitched in there somewhere. The Elemental Planes are now part of the Primal Chaos that makes up...

We always pronounced it "tif-ling"... as for the rest of the post... that is my understanding as well... without the Guinness. ;) William Holder

Aye I seem to recall that as well... and everyone needs a Dragon-Exploding catapult ;). William Holder

I gotcha now... true the damage would be slightly higher in EoM if it is a single target within 30ft. Now say your target is 100 ft. away you extend the range in EoM (+1 MP)... and higher levels when you wish to hit multiple targets by adding Discerning (+1 MP)... though each target still has...

This isn't really a limiting factor... a Mage can gain 3 more Signature Spells by spending a feat. But more so with this spell a Mage doesn't need another Evoke Signature Spell because this is better than anything else he could come up with any way... and you have like 6 Signature Spells at...

Ah... so I see (said the blind man)... the thing to keep in mind is EoM damage is balanced on 1MP = 1d6 with no modifiers. If you up it so 1MP nets you 3d4+3 then EoM Evoke spells become obsolete in favor of this "old" magic. I assume most people use (Spell Level x 2) = MP. To me it just...
