Wait, what? You don't believe that saying to the (grieving) relatives of the dead woman that she can't be raised via this ritual, the only way to reunite the husband with his wife would be by a) storming the gates of the land of the dead and searching there for her shade, or b) the easy road? I...

See the (blurry) picture of the man plastered with corporate logos? He endorses things. Quit being so sensitive :) (now, it isn't funny -- but that's because site gags are a difficult art, young padawan.)

The repetition is a lie! Magic missiles were golden.

This. I'm fond of "hobbies" -- each point of intelligence grants a bonus language dependent on race and, to a lesser degree, class, right? Each point of wisdom grants access to a trade (either a craft or a profession), and each point of charisma grants a form of perform (poetry, dance, writing...

That's what he said -- roleplaying game. It's a bit anime videogamey, though.

Goodish. Only great if it actually involves weather patterns; if it's just "I toss a lot of spells", bad use of adjective. Great! Ew. Ew. But not as bad as the other ew. Great! So long as it's Astral Weapon of Athena, as said above.

You're picking on someone who's on your side, mang. The downtime you're referencing in that post would trigger at the end of the adventure, not the middle. :) Or, to put it another way -- the actual rules proposal I gave that matched this replaced character death with character wounding, so...

So, here's what I'm missing. For everyone who says "No, this rule about needing destinies to be resurrected, it is all bunkum and badness!" -- for any individual example you have where being resurrected would be interesting to the plot and worth pursuing, it is obvious that the dead individual...

"Yup". Though the specifics of that thread are anathema to me, yes, what I'm talking about here is precisely plot point-ish.

I think my point is that (for me at least) what I want is not "you got hit so the rest of the combat is harder" but "you got really chewed up in that last adventure, so you need to spend a week or two of downtime not getting stabbed. What do you want to do in that time?" Thus, it doesn't need...

In fairness, it helps that he is wrong. Even the bits that are his personal subjective opinion. Or, more specifically: Welcome to EN World, I'm sorry the game didn't agree with what you're looking for. I liked it, though, and I hope that you either give it another try later, or find the game...

By ignoring the rules for building characters and/or encounters. I mean, yes, you can do it, but it wasn't encouraged. Now it is. Yay, yet another way in which D&D 4e continues the mighty banner of that which is D&D! It's great that the way people actually play the game is being codified...

Death spirals are bad. Downtime is good, however. So what you want is some non-hand-wavy to reflect that "you're wounded and should be in bed". Might I suggest... http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=4116671&postcount=137 ? :) The key insight here is that someone at full health, with all...

4E - Is this what you went through with 3rd Edition? Yes.

Ditto. It's too crowded, with too many misfeatures, and it's acid green, so I can't even read it (sneakily) at work.

Dread Thread Necromancy! My proposed 'introduce downtime' rule is the Death Flag and the Wounded condition. With the death flag down: * Three failed saves while below 0 hp inflicts the Wounded condition, not the Dead condition. * Falling below 0 hp with no healing surges left also...

Basically. Both sides of this particular mirror suck, I guess. I think the posters who make these posts are aware of what they're saying (and honestly, probably should know better). But I do applaud the (despicable and unreasonable, obviously. :) ) 4e haters for being the better individuals and...

... madness!

hong -- killed and eaten. The roads are closed.

I actually really dislike Golarion :( I love the AP itself; they have plots I can hum along to (the Curse of the Crimson throne is off to an aweseome beginning) and the goblins (and their interactions with other bits of the ecology) were awesome. But the cultures really left me cold, the...
