See?!

Well, you need at least three characters after a quote to post -- any fewer and it just won't let you -- and "agree." is six letters, while "This." is five. And "agree" is five, but an incomplete thought. Which is totally different from "this", obviously. :) Er, ah, um, I mean "This." (I...

I'm an utter f4nboi. I still feel the need to kibbitz. Amen. I actually wish that it had gone the other way. I'm glad they've consolidated, so that AC works the same way that reflex does, for instance -- but there was a lot of good stuff to be said for "Roll a reflex save or fall in the pit...

<-- not a mod. It's really rude to be psychic (assume you are an authority on what other posters are thinking) or to make recommendations like "get out". We're all one big, happy family! He's free to make a mixture of excellent complaints and left-field misapprehensions into a constructive...

Also, if you mean specifically an Orc Grandmaster, there's another reason not to use it: The players were fighting orcs at level 1, and warbands at level 8, and defeated the Khan of the Twelve Tribes, the most might orc for miles around, at level 15. When they're level 25, no fair saying "But...

Cover of Complete Warrior?

My biggest problem? It should be a threat from the feywild. It isn't epic in flavor enough. The stats are fine, it just needs one more line of flavortext -- it causes everyone who sleeps within five miles of its nesting spire to dream (obsessively) about what it collects -- and given long...

To put it mildly, I think you're overreacting a bit. There are a few different reads on what the Warlord can do; my current next-warlord-character is the Peasant Hero archetype, who inspires everyone with his own belief in them. "Get up! You're Sir Brennan, the strongest man I know! You killed...

Good thing your example hewed so closely to what was available in the PHB, without a bit of kitbashing, in 3e! :D Ignoring the race, I see 0 reason you couldn't continue to be a wizard with a bit of warlock, or a warlock (depending on pacts available) straight. It sounds like what you really...

If it happens before 5 minutes of rest pass, it's not really (subjectively) a different encounter, is it? If it happens after 4.9 minutes of rest, I'd be inclined to give the party the benefit of rest. If it happens before 4 mintues, they're just in the middle of packing back up the bread and...

Fact: Just saying "3 actions in a row" is unlike 4e. Fact: Players like rolling dice. Fact: DMs don't. Conclusion: Recharge mechanic? Rather than requiring spending 3 standard actions in a row, let them spend a standard action to roll a recharge die. Gives them something to roll each round...

No, it's specious.

Quoted For Truth.

Yes. Because the first levels of classes had to avoid frontloading. Because otherwise the opposite problem to what you point out here would happen. In other words, 3.x did nothing wrong, and avoided the pit trap almost entirely -- and now it doesn't have to avoid it at all.

<nevermind. I'm a doofus>

Cadfan speaks only truth and wisdom. With a dash of "oh, now you can give characters abilities at first level without it destroying the world".

I'm actually not sure why this is unintuitive. Different, sure. But unintuitive? Eh. "Unusual". You only get one class. One character, one class. Perfectly sensible. You will never be the same as the guy who spent 20 years at the wizarding academy, without refactoring your character. Okay...

The text doesn't look like it forces a wait 'till 10th level per se -- the feats don't have any prerequisites, for instance. It says "further multiclass", making it look like those are bennies above-and-beyond those granted by featurary.

FIRSTPOST! Er, ah, um, I mean: That... is pretty sexy. Not what I was assuming, since I thought there'd be strict additions rather than swaps... but it makes good sense. Thanks for the crunch, guys!

::stabs you in the face for optimistically getting my hopes up:: :D edit: friendly-like stabbings, of course. Let's not get silly.
