    Forked from Xmas Tree: Are Item Slots Necessary? [Any Edition]

    Depends on what you consider balanced. If the DM takes the items into account, and adjusts accordingly, then the actual number and power of the items is not all that important. In 4e, it should be even easier. Except for the enhancement bonuses, the items dont really have all that much power...

    Where is my Freaking Mule?!

    You win the 'Completely Missed the Point' Award for this thread. You may play D&D this way. Since Zaran is talking about my game, it should be pretty obvious that I dont. If you have nothing to add because you dont play the game that way, please dont add anything.

    What's really at stake in the Edition Wars

    I remember that game. The more I learned the rules, the harder it was to find a place to play.

    Where is my Freaking Mule?!

    There are thirty levels, going from 'which end of the sword do I hold?' to 'Move over god-boy, I am the new sherrif in town.' Oddly enough, you could probably get items that range from the 10 foot pole to the interdimensionally travelling floating flying magical city of the New Gods. Open your...

    Where is my Freaking Mule?!

    For all the people who think I should just ad-lib all this during the game: I could just make it up myself. I could also make the whole freakin game up myself too. I would even get the math right. I lack both time (I should be working on my PhD dissertation not my game), and desire to do it...

    Where is my Freaking Mule?!

    So if everyone shows interest in buying a book of useless stuff, WOTC will simply ignore that?

    Where is my Freaking Mule?!

    Since I am the DM in question, and have had this conversation in person with Zaran, that seems unlikely. You are very free with my prep time. While I could come up with stuff rather easily, it would be rather time consuming. Time that would take away from things like plot or enounter design...

    You rolled a 1 in the archery contest.

    Why doesn't 3.5 make SENSE?

    I am pretty sure that were I to dig out my 1e AD&D DMG, I could find where the original DM said: 'If you dont like it, fix it' (paraphasing). The rules arent gospel. Pelor is not going to come down and smite you if you change out the rules. Heck, if the Wiz uses Shapeshifting responsably...

    4e DMs: Allow players a 5 minute rest after EVERY encounter?

    Isnt there a section/sidebar in the encounter chapter in DMG2 that says if you make a continuing encounter (no rest between encounters) that you should recharge the encounter powers and award milestones if appropriate? I dont have a DMG2 handy, or I would look myself

    Dear 4e, Please Stop with the Horrible Portmanteaus!

    -loth means demon, and zerra is shooting. An Arcanalothzerra is a magic-based missile-shooting demon

    Killed a dragon, now they wanna strip it

    That is wierd. Seems to me that a mundane armour made of dragons scales would be Scale Armour if they want it to be more powerful, that will take magic, and then it is masterwork scale armour (of some sort).

    Real world good Vs Story good???

    If the girl indicated she was saveable, then the Knights of the Cross would not have turned her over to the White Council. Look at the way Michael and Sanya treated Cassius in Death Masks Heck, the mission of the Knights isnt to destroy the nickelheads, but to save them. In the game tho...

    Hybrid Rules Question

    If you make 'class feature' a type of bonus, then they dont stack and the problem with armour and weapon bonuses goes away. If you make the weapon bonus only useable with class abilities, then there isnt a problem either. Other than that, you will need to be careful that the individual...

    How useful is DMG2?

    I found the DMG2 to be pretty obvious and everything that I hadnt already incorporated in my game I found pretty useless. That is mostly just personal preference tho. I havent wanted or needed advice on player types or campaigns for a couple decades, so I didnt really care for those sections...

    D&D 4E Gut 4E's Math

    The idea I have been working on is to make it 1/2 per level for both monsters and characters, pull the stat increases, and pull the semi-mandatory enhancement bonus increases. This would make even fairly low enhancement bonuses much more powerful, as they would change the to hit and to be hit...

    D&D 4E Gut 4E's Math

    Technically, the XP value is set by needing a specific amount of fights per level divided by the exp needed for the next level. Other than the level of the encounter, it is inherently independent of the difficulty of any specific encounter. Since the end result of tweaking the level increases...

    leveling vs "locationing"
