    Why won't you switch?

    Coca-cola is formulated slightly differently in different regions of the world to account for the differences in cultural taste. I'm not sure this would work for 4E.

    D&D 4E Warhammer fantasy 4E D&D - Proposed House Rules?

    is there nothing already that bridges the gap between D&D and WFRP? I agree with the points so far but was just wondering (and it may help the OP) has anyone tried this before? or are there any other systems out there that sit between these two? T.

    Useful acronyms - a request

    Well I can hardly raise the idea and not contribute so here is a source for commonly used acronyms on the internet in general: http://members.aol.com/nigthomas/alphabet.html Maybe one of the admin team can put this and AUS_SNOW's link (thanks for the contribution, forgot about that link :) )...

    Useful acronyms - a request

    Someone mentioned this on another thread and I realised how much I struggled when I first came onto these boards after being away from gaming for a long time. Also from the perspective of those who aren't as internet savvy (I only started using forums late last year) I thought the following may...

    The Hive is Not Yet Dead.

    THE HIVE IS DEAD! LONG LIVE THE HIVE! Don't mind me, I'm British. T.

    Why WILL you switch?

    Official come back tour. Been away from the books far too long. Easier to make a fresh start with a clean slate this way. always good to start from 'the beginning'. ...plus info so far points toward that word we don't use anymore... :cool: or in my preferred parlance: Nasty! :uhoh: :p

    Fighters -must- wear heavy armor

    Ideal world: Heavy armour fighter harder to damage when hit (has more protection), Light armour fighter harder to hit in the first place (has greater mobility). Damage delivery potential should be equal in both cases if both are of an equivalent ability with their chosen weapons. Lighter...

    The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

    My simpathies. That stuff (while exceedingly good at its job) is evil. Its worse than that glittery makeup my girlfriend wears, gets in places it really has no business being. I swear sometimes they imbue it with some teleportational AI mecha-magnetism that allows it to stick to any surface...

    Class Granularity

    I know where you are coming from with this but (and maybe this is just me) I have always liked to develope my characters as I play, so if my characters' adventures lead them to use their sword play skills a lot, then as they rise in levels I deploy my 'experience feats/skills' as such. If they...

    D&D 4E Weapon variety in 4E

    I've missed this somehow but really like the theory if its happening. Have always hated spending an extra feat to get my beloved Katana or dual Kukri wielders into play.

    Class Granularity

    In theory (as unfortunately that is all we really have) I think it is making in-roads to the right direction. That being low granularity that with expansive grain development. (IMO) The whole concept of minimal 'base' classes backed up by expansive 'pathways' seems like a fair middle ground...

    Ice Archon

    simplest principle I can think of is to compare it to drowning combined with any thermic/endothermic type theory. The Ice Archons ability to be 'burned' by cold is just shifted in comparison to say a Human. I don't know the science so don't shoot me but freeze burns in the same way fire burns...

    D&D 4E Weapon variety in 4E

    I'd like to see more use of the stab/pierce(spear,longsword), swing/slash(blade), swing/bludgeon(staff,flail), swing/pierce(Pick) etc kind of mechanic. This may be a way of getting around the weapon focus problem as well. The feat/talent/ability tree may look something like this: Weapon...

    D&D 4E I want 4E NOW!

    Add me to this list by default. Whenever I pick up a book from a new author I have to pick up the first in the series so that I don't have the feeling of having something (knowledge) missing as I go along through the story. Its the same with my gaming, I want it all, for good or for bad, but...

    Campaign Length

    As one of those who is coming back to gaming from an exceedingly long hiatus this poll is useful for judging my proscpective time commitments but only half so. That's not a stab at anyone just that I think there is something missing. That is... How long and often are you all playing within a...
