I pretty assume that much, but thought I would throw the other options in there. I agree with you on that. I mean its not about if this can be done in a different way, or if some specific DM's who consider themselves Elite were doing this. Its a Core functionality that should be in the game to...

There are two things that also need to be considered when running skill challenges. The DM will really need to judge which skills are important and to what point. Also, the challenge does not resolve itself once you get X of Y. The challenge continues till the DM ties in the proper resolution...

I think Celebrim is doing one of 3 things. 1. Doesn't get it. 2. Gets it but hates it and thinks we are dumb for not hating it. 3. Playing devil's advocate. Any of the above is really irrelevant because his continued arguements against the system are pretty plain to see and frankly have no real...

From what was reported you simply can not multi-class. You instead take feats that give you access to other classes powers. I don't think it would make sense to take another class instead of a paragon class due to the nature of powers you get in the paragon tier vs heroic tear of another class.

I think that going this route is definately a major improvement over any previous iteration of multi-classing I have encountered. I mean lets be honest multi-classing was about 1 of 2 things. It was either a way to min max your statistics to powergame and had no other purpose, or it was a way to...

Have to agree with the others here. These are recommended specs. This also states this is the specs that allow you the full range of goodies. This reminds me of crysis and people complaining because they can't run it at max. It runs, just not at the advertised eye candy wonderfulness. Which...

I can't even begin to understand were you are getting 6 round combats. At 14th level the character has access to at least 10 unique powers requiring a standard action and not including generic moves such as grapple/bull rush/etc. This also doesn't even touch upon powers granted by magical items...

I think that when it comes to something like RPGs the main system has to stand on its own. That being said people have to want to play it regardless of 3rd parties. While 3rd parties enhance a product like this, they certainly don't make or break it. In fact I don't know many RPG's that support...

I think Summoners in 4E might be pretty sweet given the game mechanics. At Will Summon Air Sprite Duration: Till end of your next round Effect: Air sprite arrives able to lift 5lbs of weight and is mentally commanded by the summoner. (possibly with a standard action sustainable component)...

I love the new way of doing it for one major reason. Players have a tendency to think that thier great ideas should all ways be allowed regardless of their characters limitations. I love seeing barbarians with 8 int be all "Well hello sir I was hoping we could elicit your help in this quest". I...

I highly doubt that the PHB or DMG will state "PC decides which check, and if GM agrees then the PC can win an encounter" Couple things that people are just being silly about. 1. A single success is no longer the end all be all. 2. A History check for sewers may reveal their presence, but it...

Saver or Die mechanics being relied on to impose a level of stress or relief in my eyes is a rather distinct crutch. Extremes are all ways something employed out of desperation or ignorance. The world is not black and white and I don't want my gaming to be that either. Just my onion.

To be honest this is why the rule exists. I mean if you think of it a Leader character will have the ability to trigger healing surges AT WILL and so therefore heal the party. With the bonus the cleric receives from holy word it will only take one healing surge to bring a character over 50% ( at...

How much of that is the product of commercialization vs realism. Ed's Forgotten Realms is alot Ranchier then the produced FR. Conan is a bit more sexed up and violent then what is commonly protrayed in popular media. Even the Conan movies are a bit subdued and don't protray him near what he is...

Your statement is complete opinion (yours) and nothing more. You base your statement solely on the healing mechanics of 3E and the assumption that physical injury was why you needed that long. HOWEVER, as a DM I could say that the shock and awe of your encounter left you completely unscathed...

Healing and Magic I look at the magic system as more natural system. instead of storing vast amounts of power with in ourselves we have well springs of power that exist with in our body. We through training and prayer harmonize and create pathways of access to those powers. Some of these...

I can't believe this argument is still going on..... Sometimes I really question the views of people that play this game then I remember the world I live and work in. If I have to tell someone how to spell their name so they can log into windows I guess this arguement is not that suprising...

Complete and Utter Hogwash. HP does not = injury and it never has. Answer me this: If I am level 1 and I take 90% of my hp in damage, so I Was injuried to with in 10% of my life, do I heal faster or as fast or slower then a 10th level fighter who has taken 90% of his damage and was with in...

Not really in the changed dynamic you can see that the Parties healing surges as a total are not a good judge. This is why the defender role was created. The defenders are meant to take the majority of the beats. If they drop then things get ugly fast. This is true of anything. IF your front...

I am not totally convinced of this at all. This will be more defined by the meta influence then anything else. I mean if someone has 10 healing surges do they really need to blow 3 a fight. Are daily powers going to mean that much to an encounter? I think that we are still too used to the...
