After a certain degree of struggle/negotiation my DM and I have agree to try and come up with some blunt pole-arms. Here's the baseline he has proposed: Lucerne Hammer (Martial)(2 handed)(Hammer and Pole-arm) +2 Attack 1d6 Damage, Reach and High Crit Bec De Corbin (Martial)(2 Handed)(Hammer...

Has there been any new movement on the Age of Legends? Last I saw they were being very hush hush in its development.

Well, thematically the elemental chaos is the ever mutable well spring of creation. So I'd expect that elementalist powers would focus on either changing things or pulling them into existence.

As a side note, if you pay attention to the text it's pretty clear that gnomes become lawn gnome like as they age. I really don't think attractiveness is the issue here: Goliaths - who btw seem to be default a bit thick - are covered in warts. Tieflings got devil looks, horns, and tales...

that series was awesome sauce.

I don't know that it's to do with attractiveness. There are a good few races that are deliberately in violation of what American culture considers to be attractive: Dragonborn, Tieflings, Dwarves, Halflings, and Goliaths. But it is certainly true that where in the past Fantasy Art - the visual...

Well, I assume that when that party walks into the bar... ...all of the hairy, poorly rendered, blue, short but immaculately coifed, and stony people in the bar yell, "Norm!" And the bouncer checks the gnome's ID. Everyone else stares at spirit wolf+the deadly bling and is very very quiet.

This is in no way a thread crap, but: The Chronicles of Prydain The Chronicles of Narnia The Malazan Books of the Fallen The Outlaws of Sherwood Dune - if you count it The Chronicles of the Black Company - for the most part The Wheel of Time - there are exceptions but once you get past the...

Well, in theory, you will eventually get an Elementalist power source and those dudes will have some pretty great antipathy against the arcanists of Zhakara. That said, you just introduce a Paragon path for Elementalists or - maybe more interestingly - a Warlock pact for people who throw souls...

We know Ki is a power source in PHB3, we simply suspect Psionic is also a power source.

Well, I voted for Al-Quadim because I think Al-Quadim style adventures with their mix of Harryhausen style cinematic episodes, well done exotic fantasy, and honest Arabian Night-style fables would be a fantastic edition to 4e. I don't think it's likely, and there are other solutions for...

So... it's interesting that phrase is 4e 'revisits.' Given the treatment of Planescape and SpellJammer it's nice to see that they're working on ways to treat these materials without doing the full three item treatment. I'm sort of sad to see Maztica and Red Steel on that list since they're...

That looks good. I was thinking about your delimma, though, and I wonder if I haven't stumbled upon yet another direction. Is there a way you could engineer use of a laboratory or library directly into the rules for a skill challenge? I mean, stylistically speaking, that tends to be what...

Well, this makes it a much more specific question than it seemed to be from the start of the thread, but that's cool. I think that in terms of the conception of Druidic society you would get just from familiarity with the game Shamans or Clerics would be pretty well an assumed inclusion. From...

No one has mentioned Ladyhawke? It's a bit tragic, but no less Paladiny for that. Most of Jet Li's characters - when he isn't playing the obvious villain - are Paladins. Chow Yun Fat's character in either Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or Hardboiled are Paladins - and very different takes on...

Well, I absolutely think there's more you could do with a laboratory than heal. The alchemy rules in the adventurer's vault feature a lot and a lot of theivery so you've got that read written. Were I working this I'd be tempted to even run it more broadly and say that particular processes work...

Well, we've already discussed some of this, and I think the general consensus is that the 'Breaking of the Seals' disrupted magic, but didn't necessarilly radically reorganize it from the average Zhakaran's perspective. All you need to do for any of the themes of magic you want to preserve for...

Well you could always approach it from a narrative perspective. There's nothing wrong with combining that with historical inspiration as Weapons of the Gods illustrated with Kung Fu. I could be wrong on your writer's block here but it sounds like you have an atmospheric idea for the labs and...

Well, but it's also worth pointing out that Gallileo's troubles occured long after the high middle ages and that there had been profound changes in the political, intellectual, and religious communities that made his persecution a reality. At the least the high medieval church is going to be in...

By all means - work on what interests you and we can all compare notes - but there's still organization to be done before we could really start delegating tasks.
