Hey look, statement of impossibility, rhetorical question, refutation of impossibility. Not a designer or a playtester. Finger of Nerfing (Death, Mind-Affecting, Pineapple) Wizard 17 wand power-word Make an intelligence attack against the fortitude of a single living foe. If you miss, deal 1d8...

Demon and undead, you say? excellent. I'm satisfied.

Hints, and my complete ass-pullery, indicate that move actions are only for moving now, with former move actions becoming, tadaa, minor actions. I'm cool with it taking a minor action, so long as there are decent rules for: 1) retrieving stowed gear, and the costs associated. How much can you...

One in one million individuals... is a level twenty archmage. There are another handful that are 17th level archmages, and a few clerics (here and there), too. So maybe 1 in 100,000 characters is capable of casting 9th level spells, and maybe 1 in 20,000 is at-or-above 15th level. This is...

You're channeling the bursar again. Now take his dried frog pills, and come down off the chandelier.

See, and here I was assuming you were logging in as Mr. "" with password "". Stupid science.

Hey, they answered everything... ... we just already knew all the answers. It's because we're psychic, I tells you!

Redmod Dumple isn't that bad. Cloyer Bulse the Magsman isn't bad, either. <awkward silence>

But it does work. Worth it or not, your call, but it seems easy enough to do, and easier than 1-2-1-2 (to me). But, sure, not worthy of the core game, fair enough. That said, I have no problem with saying "diagonals just cost more" and denying the 20 footer that extra step. Why not? He hasn't...

Not the monk in core -- too anime. But yeah, the guide to all things draconic (probably not just dragonborn -- probably a sort of draconomicon-ish thing, preferably not -- but conceivably -- the Draconic Powersourcebook (Powersource book? Power sourcebook?) ) will come out... ... and if...

Hey! Put down that can opener! Worms are not tasty (or nootrishus). Or, put another way: The rule that should be core is the one that maximizes some arbitrary function of fun, realistic, simple, and <mystery requirement>. It is completely unclear which of 1-2-1-2 and 1-1-1-1 maximizes all of...

Lies and calumny! 5 foot steps are an explicit exception to every rule; so they remain here. 10 foot reach, similarly has the corner-filling hack in both systems. All this solves is the counting aspect :)

The rule is mathematically identical to 1-2-1-2 but with slightly easier math because nothing in the math ever changes for going on a diagonal (ie, having to maintain the bit of state between whether this was a cheap or an expensive diagonal -- all diagonals are equally expensive). Someone...

So the monster was orthogonal to the presented grid? I mean, I don't mind that you had rotations there, but the grid that the monster was playing on wasn't the same grid as the rest of the players were. Which is, of course, a 2x2 square. Ow, my brain. :) AMEN! If it helps, I'm eating cookies...

True statement and legal requirement. :)

Traditionally? Quite, to the relief of vampires everywhere. But your point still stands :)

Tangent alert! Maybe it appears to be, but not all who wander are lost not all that glitters is gold. It is a fact that there was a murmuring in the court before 3rd edition took the stage (ow, my metaphor-mixer is set on "stupid"!); it's not an argument to state that this is a similar...

This. My guess is that we'll have Class Training feats, and a relatively simple Retraining/Rebuilding rule (perhaps "build another character of the same race as your current one, and with any class you currently have the training for -- and the class training feat for your current class. Do...

None of this is inevitable -- or did you think that hill giants had a +20 natural armor bonus because they had skin several meters thick? :D It's definitely true that a 30th level naked epic-peasant would have a (base) AC of (picking a random number... base 10 plus half level 15 = 25) 25, while...

So like I said, you allow the monster to either rotate the grid freely, or align the grid to the walls of the area the monster is in, you just don't think of it that way. I mean, the monster's not in any squares; you can tell by the way it's all diagonal and stuff that any squares it occupies...
