Must spread XP around! Also, what claim are you guys talking about, that you want to be true? That this is the time to be heard and make an impression on the rules?

What about instead of at-will, it's like 8 times per day? Or some good number depending on the assumed average usage in a typical adventure? That might satisfy both camps, those who want at will, and those who want resource management

Not everyone agrees that a character 'hit' by an attack actually get hit in the game world. This is why surviving multiple sword wounds with no treatment etc is feasible for -any- character north of 20 Hp or so. You can't imagine a glancing blow or being demoralized or dodging from a very high...

I think they mean the actual casting of magic spells.

Good point on the tomb thing. See, a point I didnt think of that would be great to be in a book somewhere ! Could you elaborate? Is there a way WotC could make the logical conclusion sway toward expected fantasy?

I'd love to see an entire book, or at least chapter devoted to taking the rules of the world into account. Think the Dungeonomicon with more detail for how to run games as the DM: Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible Basically, I want there to be rules of society that would be in place...

I think he was saying that interrupts and reactions should be based around saving throws, since hey, the player is already picking up the dice and having to pay attention for rolling the saving throw, might as well put reactions and whatnot there as well. I hope so anyway, as I would still like...

Arguably more Vancian Magic, actually, since every class essentially uses powers like a Vancian wizard. (Fire and forget Fighter Dailies, etc).

Are you asking my personal preference, my opinion of what Dnd in general should be, my opinion of what 4e currently is, or what? Like I said, your game can be whatever you want. But the game as presented in the books, modules, and the Dnd encounters does in my opinion engender the entitlement...

I agree with the 4e entitlement thing, and I love 4e and play it weekly. 4e seems to put a strong emphasis on having only conflicts the character can solve with no planning, and without having to run away. Read any official module, and as I recall, the DMG doesn't encourage having any planning...

Can wotc write a license that allows freer 3rd party supplements but makes another company essentially reselling their basic material (pathfinder, etc) difficult or impossible? I have no legal experience, so I don't know.

Also, keep in mind not all of us have established groups. Dnd is the lowest common denominator in my experience in getting new groups together. Then that group can move on to other things, but you can bet only 1 person in the group has played before whatever game we will play next, so everyone...

I can see it being there, in a modular form. Basically, have the math balanced to where a monster can either deal damage per round that on average equals how much 'damage' the save or die will do. Say level 1, we have 30 hitpoints. If there is a 50% chance of the save or die working, that means...

Quickleaf That just seems like 'legal boilerplate' to me. I'm not sure if that's the term, but basically liability protection they don't really plan on doing. I can definitely see them leaving both up, and maybe even offering a really light starter online to 4e subscribers, like 3 levels with...

Assuming a 5E, will we have to subscribe to DDI -and- the new shiny 5E DDI, if we want to play both? Or will it be essentially the same ddi with updates every month or so, but those updates happen to be 5E?

Citation needed, please.

Seconded. It's copy paste but better and easier. Edit: thirded*

I think insightful players... should be allowed to be insightful. An advantage? That depends. If she doesn't have the insight skill, there are times when she's going to be wrong and have no way of knowing it. I think such a thing can certainly be done if the motivations of NPC's, or their...

It makes fights feel more realistic and interesting, but I never faced the inherent downside of characters possibly getting killed within a turn from two hits. If that happened, my players probably would have been singing a different tune. As far as balance, damage seems to be king, but on the...

They are indeed bare in my mind.
