    Rob Heinsoo's tenure at WotC - a fan's tribute

    Rob you'll be missed. While I do prefer Mearls as the head of 4th, I think that the game 3 Dragon Ante is a work of sheer genius. Rob, you will be sorely missed because of things like that: the quirky ideas that no one else would even consider, but that work in a glorious surprise of shouts and...

    Saga Encounter Building by XP Budget, Revisited

    That gives me a headache, but I'll have no choice but to roll with it, won't I?

    Saga Encounter Building by XP Budget, Revisited

    I figured since this is where people seem to know what they're doing I'll ask: how do you figure out party level for space battles? Because each ship has their own CL, and I'm not sure how that impacts the PCs. A little help? Cause the Core rulebook doesn't answer the question well at all.

    I have Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons

    I wanna hear more about these Mithral dragons. What's their breath weapon? What do they do that's different? And why the heck are they level 31?

    So A PC is Having a Baby...

    How's about rubber ball that releases fireballs with every bounce? You'd never have to clean their room (although I suggest a rain spell of some sort...)

    Divine power info

    Well, if you're looking at the mark in isolation, then yes, it sucks. But remember, the whole class has to be considered as well. And there's enough powers around now to where attacking that guy in the fullplate is preferable, since everyone else has a buttload of temp hp, or they're dazed, some...

    Where does the Psion leave the Monk?

    Monks are about the closest thing to a psionic class I can think of. Ever since kung fu was first invented it's been about bringing the mind into harmony with the body. Not the spirit, but the mind. Some martial artists even said that visualization was just as important as practicing, so they...

    Virtuous Paladin, Divine Power Excerpt

    While I do have a comeback you are right, this isn't the place for it. But, jsut remember that your example comes from one of the sourcebooks, not from core. I'm not saying you're wrong, I am saying that you're relying on sources that the paladin doesn't have. Yet. I guess this amounts to a...

    Virtuous Paladin, Divine Power Excerpt

    What everyone seems to forget is that the mark isn't the only way a defender defends. The whole class is supposed to be considered, and in this case it definitely saves the Paladin's rear end. In the end, the Paladin defends by buffing his allies and debuffing his opponents to the point of...

    Virtuous Paladin, Divine Power Excerpt

    Two pages of comments, and how many are actually about the article? Few. I think I'll actually comment on the powers presented here. Virture's Touch is OK. It's not as all around useful as Lay on Hands, but could still have it's uses. Majestic Halo is pretty nice, actually. I'm...

    Lets try this again- 4E FR Campaign Guide

    See, I always thought Campaign Guides were there for inspiration only. I don't like the idea that someone else has a better handle on the world than I, the DM, do, and because of that I rarely use a campaign setting without making significant changes to suit my tastes. I suppose that's what...

    Lets try this again- 4E FR Campaign Guide

    I own both, and they're both fantastic. I don't think of the two books (Campaign Guide and Player's Guide) as seperate entities, but two halves of the same coin. The books are obviously designed to be played with, which is a huge plus. A lot of people don't like the "lack" of detail, but...

    Divine Power excerpt: Feats

    *Imagines running after his challenged foe, screaming his defiance at the dragon as he makes it impossible to really affect anyone else...* That's the point of the Paladin, to make it where attacking anyone else is moronic. It always feels good to let the opponent draw the conclusion himself...

    Divine Power excerpt: Feats

    This is a relief. I firmly believe that Paladins will be awesome after the printing of this book....

    Goodman rebuttal

    This article doesn't seem to say that 4e is not doing well, but rather that it's not in "the cycle" that would make it sell as well as 3e. That seems to make sense to me. I mean, everything else seems to be cyclical (the economy, family addictions, etc.) so why not our favorite hobby? The fact...

    PHB3 cover!

    Well I feel sorta Ninja'd, considering what I put in the other thread about PhB3... Oh well! I hope they do a good job with what they have.

    DDI Changes - PH3 Previews! New price

    I think what's more important (at least to me, I'll keep the DDI subscription alright) is the cover to the book: D&D Insider Announcement Seriously, Divine and Primal heroes aren't done yet? Suddenly I'm very intrigued...

    About Those MM1 Minions...

    How's that working out for you, balance wise? I've been tempted to try that option too, but haven't worked up the guts to do it yet.

    About Those MM1 Minions...

    So I was looking through the minions of MM1, and thought they were pathetic. I've heard alot of people suggest that cutting their XP in half was a good solution, but more crap is still crap. So, assuming I leave the rest of the monsters RAW, could I just add half level onto the damage of these...
