    The Role of the Wizard, or "How Come Billy Gets to Create a Demiplane?"

    @rounser This state is probably as good as any game will ever get combining gritty swordsman with high fantasy magcian. Its honestly the best that anyone could hope for if they were of Cirno's mind-ALBEIT he was not talking about combat. But rather all the things they can do out of combat...

    The Role of the Wizard, or "How Come Billy Gets to Create a Demiplane?"

    OKAY-we've all greed that yes the game has the gritty mundane warrior and the high flying magician. But see-here's the question. What is D&D really supposed to be like? Remember, everyone wants to be cool, and everyone wants to be useful at least some time or another both inside and outside...

    Is D&D (WotC) flaming out?

    @ProfessorCirno OH REALLY? I. Dont. Think. So. :hmm: Let me count the ways ProfessorCirno... B-) #1. Locate Object If you're trying to find something specific, say the Macguffin, that implies that you have PERSONALLY observed the said object and NOT through scrying. It also must be very...

    Is D&D (WotC) flaming out?

    And oh, that was 14 Encounters in 4 hours he was talking about-but he never said the Wiz/Cleric blew them ALL up. @ProfessorCirno As for the murder mystery bit-realize that you can do mysteries in RPGs as The Alexandrian has said before, but also realize D&D is a robust system that can...

    Is D&D (WotC) flaming out?

    @ProfessorCirno What if instead of WIZARDS-the games casters were more like Warlocks? I feel this thread has kinda sorta moved a considerable way from its original topic, but here's just a thought as far as magic countering more magic-dont a lot of creatures have Spell-Like Abilities or...

    Is D&D (WotC) flaming out?

    @khantroll On the polymorph issue-there is always Shapechange, albeit a 9nth lvl spell. Ever thought of changing shape into a Shambling Mound zapping and then yourself with a permanent, energy-substituted-to-electric wall of fire to produce limitless Constitution? You only lose the points at...

    [WotC's recent insanity] I think I've Figured It Out

    @Johnny3D3D I dont see how-Great Cleave Just lets you use your cleave attack an unlimited times per round. Cleave lets you make an immediate extra attack if you drop an enemy to 0 or lower HP-but ONLY if the enemy is in reach, and you cant take a 5 ft step. With a spiked chain (despite the...

    Is D&D (WotC) flaming out?

    Then isnt IT the SPELLS and not the wizard that need to be fixed if one or two spells can end an encounter? I wouldnt take the wizards slots away necessarily, I'd remove or alter the spells, or increase monsters ability to save. And havent magicians in fiction and fantasy ALWAYS done...

    Is D&D (WotC) flaming out?

    Cant give XP, would do it for mentioning TheAlexandrian but I must spread it around. Oh-And Wizards followers arent gathered, they are made.

    Is D&D (WotC) flaming out?

    Interesting way of looking at it. And then the opposing view... Interesting thought to-but dont the sets have stuff in them that's scannable material? Although.... @Tallifer @Jhaelen @Dice4Hire Ultimately HALF the stuff may be boxed, but that does not mean that the boxes dont contain...

    5E? Dude. We just got 4.5 (Essentials in disguise), maybe in a nother 2-3 years.

    [WotC's recent insanity] I think I've Figured It Out

    But of course there is a subtle difference between "D&D could easily have stuck with the mechancs from 2nd ed and 3.X and just tweaked them for each new edition rather than a complete and unnessecary overhaul." and I do appreciate the clarification. I myself dont think my original post was...

    [WotC's recent insanity] I think I've Figured It Out

    Tell ya what though! I'd love it if they actually completed that dam Virtual Tabletop they promised us waaaay back before 4e was actually out. Was what caught my initial attention, really as far as digitial. :confused: It'd be handy for running games when you're unable to actually get a...
