I find myself thinking of them as Minoans. Charismatic, ancient, and cunning acrobats and sailors who's home has sunk into the sea.

Why isn't Dejah Thoris an option? I plan for my Dragonborn to get a real John Carter of Mars feel.

I had to think about it, finals and all, but I'm pretty dang positive. It all seems part and parcel of the new class is no longer character feel. Seems more like class is the grammar of character. And I'm also excited that fighters with wizard training are going to look pretty dang sweet...

It's not a question of perfection. I just think of it as more binary. 0 is freezing, 10 is hot. I think 4E is hot. And though I share your and Eric's concerns over the ancillary elements I honestly have no ambivalence whatsoever about the game itself. The only actual game I can remember...

Actually, I'd say the problem lies in the very idea of using biological categories - which in the wake of Darwin we know to be, for the most part, historical categories of convenience rather than ontological categories of substance - if you live in a world in which a creature evolved scales...

Don't like his outfit or his ears, but otherwise I like the look of him. The eyes and the proportions work for me. My only concern is that the gnome looks too human.

Pick up play and pick up DM both sound fairly attractive.

Please for the love of all that is good and awesome in the world: Take a course in Technical Communication. I'd recommend manuals and, of course, editting, but even a theory based course like Technology and Literacy should be helpful. On a basic level this is a skill not unrelated to what you...

Don't forget that per Worlds and Monster we have somewhere around three different gods vying for the Raven Queen's title. So there is both a societal 'soft' influence on domains and a 'hard' games of the divinities influence on domains. Vecna is one. I think Orcus is another. Maybe Bane for...

I'm going with Merric B. The Role functions as a test. Once you've put together the ethos and basic mechanics of the class, you ask yourself, 'Does it fulfill a role? If so which one?' and then go back and revise the class so that whatever else it does it fulfills a role effectively and...

There's also the Wolfgang Method. Propose Several RPG Projects Set Up Funding Goals for Each Invite Patrons to Sponsor one Option or Another Once Goals are met by patrons - Write Project with the most Support, give Patrons some editorial Control Release Product with Premium Features to Patrons...

A Wuxia version of 4E would be fantastic. But what I'd like to see in more Vanilla core would be: Monk Cavalier Sha'ir - just any sort of diplomatic summoner actually.

Personally I'd be tempted to use endurance as a meditation skill as well. Maybe make it a trained usage? Then in the case of searching a house for clues you could trance out and try to remember everything you might now about the place or reduce distractions so you can gain a bonus to another...

Also I really like the look of the White Dragon. It honestly looks frightening.

Right. This is a thing of absolute beauty. The time I spent on the tables that dictated creating high level characters... I do not have a photographic memory, but that one, that one I can see with my eyes shut. Maybe things are worse in the actual book, but this seems far far superior. And...

It's interesting that the Succubus is a controller. Either it means something different with monsters than it does with PCs or there's a tradeoff between hitting lots of people with damage and hitting individuals with long term effects.

Why? They'd both be heroic tier characters, and even though the monster has a substantial level advantage it's also outnumbered. A non-elite, non-solo level 8 or 9 monster should be a significant threat to a 5 man party of level 1 heroes, but an insta-win seems more than a bit overstated to...

No problem, I'm a little bit worried that I didn't answer your specific questions really well. I should note that I had been prepared to grid, but did not. And that I think, at least in the Raiders of Oakhurst Adventure, the multiple monsters presented a fair amount of tradeoffs in terms of...

A question: If we've seen three classes with ranged weapon powers or related abilities - Ranger, Rogue, and Warlord - are we still worried that too few classes - out of 8 mind - are getting ranged weapon powers?

Right, here's the thing. The actual 4E rules could add on layers of complexity, and who knows what play looks like at 25th level vs. 1st level. So, for the 4E rules lite at 1st level: It was a lot easier for my group to play gridless, eh, erm, scratch that, correction... It was a devilish...
