? I say again, good sir. ?

The Sun does 2d6 0 radiant-damage attacks per round to everyone with no concealment/cover versus it each round? Really, it's more of a swarm than anything else. Which explains why I'm always nauseated when I go outside. :p

Mathematics has *several* hard and fast rules, but the most fair to both DM and PC is probably banker's rounding -- round to the nearest even number, which has the nice advantage of pushing suitably small values to 0, anyway.

PCs are rockstars. I mean, they have glowing swords and stuff. So, yeah -- I'd say that they count as among the few that have access to heavy armor :) It's also possible that there are a few more fantastic types of heavyish armor -- hides, mostly -- which fill the same slot, but leave ferrous...

Sorry, all I read was In fact, that's not even what it reads like, because the VIDEOGAME echoes back into the post and erases the reasonable part. So it's a bit trollish when posted for real, because you know darn well the result it's gonna create :)

Isn't most straight-line movement on (any) grid going to be modeled via a lot of turns? In the hex grid, isn't this particularly egregious with 90 degree motion consisting of chained 60 degree turns? Maybe if you had the character declare some "intention" direction, and moving more than 60...

I think that's one of the strongest, um, strengths of the new edition -- and more or less what all the unreasoning fanboys have been saying all along :) It doesn't just help with S&S, low-magic -- but I suspect that as long as you vet powers (probably not _too_ much, but hey, this is always...

Yes, but it's why we love you :D Is there anything wrong with making irrational choices about how one spends ones free time? Because honestly, the only rational choices for free time are gardening (yum!) investing (bling!), or seeing an attractive member of the appropriate gender (nookie! Also...

Well, yeah, but the immediate emotional reaction that I had to the one thing that I hated caused me to black out momentarily. When I came to again, it was gone. I claim shenanigans.

'kay.

Del: We're quibbling over a few operations here, but I don't think the New Math is harder. Specifically, your "marginally harder" is my "not at all harder" -- for instance, I suspect that I could build a multiclassed character in my head if the New Math really is "one half level to everything, a...

Oh, get over it! First of all, this isn't a "he did", this is a "I left my whiteboard with a heading on it, and this is what came out!" (per the last blog post). Second of all, these are people's wacky ideas and random thoughts, not a concentrated malicious attack on you and all you love...

Derren: When the defender is grappling and the attacker isn't, from the combat modifier section, the defender is flatfooted and (I love this part) "Roll randomly to see which grappling combatant you strike. That defender loses any Dexterity bonus to AC." That means you either hit your friend or...

Followup attack: they're also badly presented. The problem is that it's entirely unclear (until you've spent some time parsing it, which I know everyone who posts here has ;) ) exactly how many of the things you can do in a grapple you can do on your turn. Claw/claw/bite? Only one. Multiple...

You neglected to mention the "step into the same square and draw AoO from everyone but the one you're hugging", but yes. I use them too. Does the fact that they take up more space than I'm comfortable quoting here give anyone pause, though? I mean, sure, you're grappling so there have to be...

There's an extra "not" in that sentence -- they've pretty much come out and said that they're Arcane Leaders. They also said that they (currently) draw powers from extraplanar patrons. Which is very very different from the patron'ed arcane Warlock. :rolleyes: ;)

Yeah, but it's not a bad assumption, is it? I mean, if it looks like a Second Wind and it quacks like a Second Wind, it's not a terrible idea to assume it is a second wind, even if we're not sure just what a second wind quacks like ;) Or, said another way: I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean...

Sneak into his house/office, replace all his 3.x paraphernalia with 4e books (so, you may have to wait a while after the game is released so that the splats catch up. Meh.), and then look innocent whenever he asks you what's going on? Or, assuming you're not the D&D-playing reincarnation of...

I used a modified form of the new death mechanic -- exploding 1s, because I'm a bastard, and 20s send you to 1 hp, not 1/4 your hp, and 3 11-19s in a row is an auto-stabilize at 0. I used it twice last session. No longer needing to pay the negative hp debt was nice, and I say that as the DM who...

I think the OP already had:
