OK, I haven't seen the book yet, but this explanation doesn't make sense to me ... Suppose the monster had a +4 Perception check, so a passive perception score of 14. If the party isn't trying to be sneaky, the monster needs to make a DC 25 from the other side of the door--impossible, whether...

Signs I'm doing something right: my almost-thirteen-year-old son didn't get it, until I ID'd Cyclops for him. After that, he recognized Odysseus almost immediately. I love my family. :)

Um, no. They lose all of their accumulated action points and start back at one total ... All they get from an extended rest is dailies, surges, and hp.

Looks right to me. But I hope she's already multiclassed to Dervish, so she can get all ten levels ... ;-)

I was a bit leery as well, but I bought it anyway, and I was pretty happy once I got it open. (Of course, I was using that Borders Rewards 40% off coupon, which expired today--thanks for breaking the street date, Borders! ;) ) Three double-sided battlemaps with lovely artwork and useful labeling...

Chill on the Greater Magic Fang, guys--shapeshifting druids get a +1/4 levels enhancement bonus on all their natural attacks while shifting. I'll second the Extend Spell thought (or third, or whatever).

That Bard works great for after-action patching up. When you're in a pitched battle with a bruiser at mid-levels and the fighter's hit points are down in the teens, he's not looking for 1d8+1 from the Bard's wand--he's looking for 4d8+9 from the Cleric's Cure Critical Wounds. Or hopefully, a bit...

Wow. I can't believe I'm the first person to ask this in a thread with this sort of theme, but ... What does 'extrodinary' mean? I can't find it in my dictionary. ;)

Or just learn Tongues as one of your second-level spells ... ;)

Sweet! Now reroll those sixes!

Somebody obviously doesn't get what Shadowrun is all about ..

A better choice for the evil cleric would have been to bolster the wight before the PC cleric had a chance to turn it--that's what that option is there for ...

Heh. Heh-heh. I have a hunch that I'll I'd inspire is revenge if I tried this one in a game session. Psywar: "Are you going to inspire greatness on me, too?" Me: "Sure! ... You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray ..." Psywar: "Full power attack on the...

I don't think anybody is questioning the stacking ... Just to clarify, this is what's under discussion. If my bard starts singing on round 1 of the combat to inspire courage, that effect boost his allies for as long as he continues the song and five rounds after. In the second round, the bard...

Goodbye, fifteen-minute adventuring day. Hello, twelve-second adventuring day. I doubt that plan would go over well, myself. "We need to stop for the day, I'm out of spells!" "Can we at least finish the first encounter? "

Quick Reconoiter, Complete Adventurer.

Balancing the new sort of system necessitates changing, at least a bit, how multiclassing works. How well this works in 4E depends a lot on the exact details of the new multiclassing rules--something WOTC has been very cagey about so far. There are hints that multiclassing has been changed...

Redclaw is exactly right, and beat me to posting virtually the same response by five minutes. [shakes fist] Using this alternate method and just eliminating racial bonuses and penalties in general are mathematically exactly the same for the core races, except in the case of the half-orc, who's...

Magic items are priced based on the characters who will find them most useful, not those that will find them least useful. Otherwise, scrolls (for example) would be very, very cheap.

Also, bear in mind that the WOTC folks are not just playing with the core books that have gone to the printers, but are also developing and playtesting future products. There's never been any doubt that future PH or setting sourcebooks would include a full (PHB-style rather than MM-style) gnome...
