Agree totally, which is why I made the comment that the rules' expectations for ability scores need to mesh with the rolling method used. If the edition's classes, feats, or PrCs frequently require scores of 15 or 16 and the DM has players roll 3d6-in-order, that DM's gonna have a lot of sad...

In my current campaign, we definitely have a couple PCs whose scores greatly outshine the others. In game, it's rarely noticed, and none of the players have an issue with it. Granted this is AD&D, but even in 3e or 4e, a DM can always use a "random" method but put boundaries in place to limit...

I can appreciate this viewpoint. Still, I've always tried to instill the idea in my players that it's not a character's ability scores that makes him or her a success. A PC with poor scores can thrive on good RP and decision-making, just as a PC with high scores can falter in the absence of...

I always like to hear of successes that come from employing old-school methods like this. The idea appeals to me for 4e as well. However, I think it's easier to appreciate the 3d6 method and the variance in scores it generates from the DM's side of the screen. Players used to average net...

Hey all, Sorry if this has already been answered, but I haven't been able to find anything definitive on it... If I buy the 4e core rulebooks but do NOT subscribe to DDI, will I be able to access/download PDF versions of the rulebooks I own? Thanks! Matt

BTW, are you able to provide the fonts if it's just for personal/non-commercial use? Thanks again, Matt

Thanks!

I also voted no, but also agree that there are some interesting similarities.

Or, if you have concerns about posting the whole doc in an easily editable format, how about just a page or two so that all the styles, headings, etc. are accessible? ;)

Hey there, Fantastic job on the PDF. Any chance this could be posted as a Word doc (or equiv.) so the styles/formatting could be available to those that would like to use the same templating for their own docs? Thanks! Matt

I wholeheartedly agree. I've recently had the same revelations, and now am in the process of starting a new AD&D campaign (1e/2e hybrid) with my group, which I brought up on 3.0/3.5. When 4e was announced, I really wanted to like it. I needed a break from the burden of preparing and running...
