    Enough with the halos already!

    You mean they need errata?

    Battlefist: Too Many Rules Limitations

    In our current campaign, the Eladrin Swordmage's arm is infected by some magical zombie voodoo. In effect, it's a zombie arm that acts on its own will. Devon Sawa in Idle Hands jokes abound. Anyway, it seems that optimization-wise, the Swordmage doesn't suffer from having only one arm to count...

    D&D 4E Skill Challenge DC questions for a new to 4E DM.

    I scarcely follow the rules for skill challenges, at least in terms of success vs. failures. The way I see it, it's not the number of failed checks that induce the failure of the skill challenge, but rather the nature of the failure. In one skill challenge I ran on the fly, the PCs had to...

    Enough with the halos already!

    Yeah it's like they're all trying to look like Kratos or something.

    D&D 4E I'm here 4e and left wondering....

    I concur. And that's even without taking into consideration that the PHB is organized badly. Still, I'm addicted to it.

    No more WotC Star Wars site

    My completely subjective impression is that not as many Star Wars fans were playing the RPG as they ought to. (I know that in this day and age, everyone is a Star Wars fan, but you know what I mean.) Demand for the books is high, yes, but their distribution network overseas might be lacking...

    Someone is Bringing Pizza to the Game Tonight

    You know, the fact that I now play/run in three to four games a week has actually made me kind of bored with pizza. I mean I'm not totally sick of it, but it no longer generates the level of excitement it used to. Nowadays, we eat home cooked food between games: mashed potatoes and roast beef...

    Are wardens overpowered?

    Yeah. It's made Dwarven Hide Armor, made from real dwarves! You know those Kundaraks, they'd sell their own mother's skin for cold, hard Galifarean cash.

    Are wardens overpowered?

    Dwarven HIDE armor. Unless there is no dwarven hide and we made a mistake and that enchantment is not available for that type of armor.

    Enough with the halos already!

    While Wizards of the Coast has been conducting extensive research on to the health effects of psionic halos, there is to date, no conclusive evidence linking psionic halos to cancer and birth defects.

    Making Epic/Paragon monsters Heroic

    To some extent, I think all experiential aspects of the game change significantly depending on the synergy between DMs and players. By and large, players are a generally competitive lot, especially those who weren't raised by the teamwork mindset fostered by 4E. To that end, they're always...

    Are wardens overpowered?

    I played a Warforged Warden for 11 levels straight, and I never felt overpowered. I never went down at all, because I was maxing out CON, piling on temporary HPs and using Cloak of the Walking Wounded and Dwarven Armor to max out my ability to surge in a given encounter but I wasn't doing...

    Rattling Effect: Does it Stack?

    Does the rattling penalty stack with the penalty of a mark? Sorry, couldn't find a thread about it.

    New character? Hybrid Fighter/Warlord or MC Fighter/Warlord or Warlord/Fighter

    That was a fantastic breakdown of the options, especially how you parsed the possibilities presented by each multi-class. I salute you for your assistance, sir. That's a really awesome idea. DANCE PARTNERS! But I think my GF DM is really intent on the Dragonborn thing. We kind of worked out a...

    New House Rule: Bring Pizza, Get a Reroll

    I'd rather get a +1 for each individual person served by the pizza ordered. So on a night with five players and one DM, that's 5 +1s to give any roll! I don't roll very low, so it's perfect for those near miss checks!

    MM3 recycled art

    Johnny3D3D speaks the truth. The Eberron books also recycled some of the art from 3.5, and Dragon/Dungeon art gets re-used in the other books all the time.

    MM3 Typos

    They'll fix that in the typographical errata update.

    PHB3 Classes and Augmentation

    Indeed. Psionics basically have the option to forego the use of certain powers so that they can pump their other powers to encounter level.

    New character? Hybrid Fighter/Warlord or MC Fighter/Warlord or Warlord/Fighter

    Thanks for the friendly admonition! I would ordinarily stick with that --- I'm a fan of just taking a class and sticking with it --- but I guess I'm just obsessive simply because this is my first time multi-classing and I want to also find ways to add a flavor to the character that has...

    Any DDI News?

    I don't believe we're entitled to anything. I never really cared much for the idea of a digital table -- crudely drawn grid maps and coins for me! -- and thought the initial excitement was over the least important/interesting part of 4E. However, I still find it laughable, like Peter...
