Uh? I think you've misinterpreted what diplomacy does (or at least, should do). Especially in a game claiming skill challenges, a diplomacy skill that reads "they now agree with you" -- as opposed to "they (however grudgingly) do what you specifically requested" -- is a diplomacy skill that's...

It can be. A box that says "Some assembly required" is fine. An empty box that says "some assembly required" isn't. I think there's enough stuff in the 4e box, but some people disagree and instead generic food metaphor.

Heh. Your hopefully is actually my very-not-hopefully. It's neat when they get their own little tricks, but if they feel like different classes, I'd really rather that they were different classes, and that Ioun was worshipped nigh wholly by wizards and multiclass wizards, for example.

Mostly because the number is 0. But the number of times that they've rappelled from your ceiling... (oh buggrem. This is going to turn into another rogue/rouge//lose/loose thing, isn't it... oh noes!)

Yup. The feat "Golden Wyvern Adept", in fact. :)

Ditto. I fail to see how "You may treat each weapon/implement/holy symbol you pick up as though it had the same + as is your due at this level" is harder than "OMG MATH ON EVERY MONSTER". So I know which way I'm going -- though I'm glad it's not core, since I'm given to understand that most D&D...

Hey! No threadcra-- ... those are some mighty fine smilies. :)

Have I mentioned recently that I love you, wormwood? You rock.

Great, five posts before Charwoman Gene, with his time machine, spoilers the thread. :( On topic: I don't know that I'd try to tie all defenders everywhere together, but tying a few together -- fighters and paladins serving together in knightly orders, rangers and rogues working together in the...

Oh man I hated the montewitch. I liked the design of the class well enough, but nothing says witch to me like, um, being able to create a flaming sword at the drop of a hat. I'd say the witch got divvied up between the wizard, the druid, and the warlock -- which should surprise no one...

Third for Magical Medieval Society. Dem fine book. Threads on EN World. :)

Ditto. I didn't like this one as much as the others, but it was still cute. Yay for the gnome!

They might, but I don't think it very likely. They really really really look like additional damage on attacks to me.

Not what I had taken away. I believe both are planned in parallel.

Basic, Expert, Companion, Masters -- usually terminated with an I for Immortals. "Old-style D&D" :)

I mean, I like that, but I like that even better when it's three classes that draw on shared powers or something so that each aspect is a separate class. This is a subjective taste thing, and not absolute design wisdom, but my gut feeling is that each class should do a medium-sized-number of...

Easy question! The effort isn't the same. This is a change from previous editions. Without house rules, there are only a few conditions where some cleric actually in possession of both a corpse and a sufficient quantity of diamonds can't raise (or resurrect) the body. To the best of my...

I would rather have to work to explain precisely why person A was able to be raised from the dead... ... than have to work to explain why person B resolutely refuses to be raised from the dead.

It's unclear to me whether you read the article. Your disagreement seems to center more on how to fix the power imbalance in game, meaning how to prevent the side with more dudes on it from winning. The article, however, presents two problems with extra actions: One is that it makes the...
