I have found that there is a direct relationship between the amount I want an NPC to recur and the amount of crits he eats if the PCs get him into a fight. Started in 3e when I had an 6th level Orc ranger who only had to survive 3 rounds against the party before his minions would show up and...

At least I am trying to contribute. You should learn the difference between a c and a w

I see your point on this, and agree, but I also think it shows some really bad management. This goes all the way back to the inital realease of 3e. They stuck that disk with the trial of what became etools, and people were amazed. However, due to bad management (not automatically WOTCs) what...

For those keeping track: The numbers that Zar was using to say DDI had good revenue were mine. I based my estimation pretty much what is presented here. Other than using the low end numbers because I assume that most of the subscribers are longer term users, I got the exact same numbers as...

Games Workshop shows that the lifetime of a miniatures game is significantly longer than 5-10 years.

Odd that you quote two words that I never used. odd that you are making the exact same point that I did. Did you actually read my post?

You seem to be saying that there is no demand, so the books wouldnt sell. I am saying that without the license cost, the line would be profitable because there is good demand.

Clone Wars is currently showing, the new cartoon is next fall(?), and the live action show is supposedly in development. There are comic book lines and Novels being published. This is better support that any other game there is.

Your very first comment tends to refute the rest of your post. well, partly refute anyway :) You have sort of hit upon what I think WOTCs problem with the SW license is: Expense. I figure that the license has to be very expensive, relatively speaking. When WOTC bought the license, it was...

IIRC, a kukri is a superior weapon, so you would need superior weapon proficiency to get proficiency bonus. You would get the rogue weapon talent bonus without the proficiency tho

I have never been playing in a TPK, so I dont know that side. The only TPK I actually did was when none of us knew the GURPS rules set to know when a fight was unwinable. The monsters in that case were unusually resistant to the parties damage dealing, and the retreat route got blocked. It was...

How do you figure? Their whole rules set is like one page. It is all the House rules that are hard to keep up with!

Einstein would have to play a diceless game: 'God does not play dice with the universe' Never play a naval battle with Rutherford. He would have tissue paper and all your shots would bounce back and hit you instead. Heisenberg? I am uncertain what he would play Pauli would have a system...

Perhaps you should introduce them to the second rule of kobold fight club: The Second Rule of Kobold Fight Club is that they will get out of their restraints and knife you while you are sleeping. :)

Technically, this was playing star wars. We needed a name for the NPC mechanic. I was eating raisinettes. Ray has been in half a dozen different games since. :)

You seem to miss that controllers dont get multiattacks that are that good. Generally, multiple target attacks are around half damage compared to the single target attacks. This is pretty standard across all classes in the PHB1 and PHB2, but the monk is exempted.

The rogue has to get CA to get its striker damage, all the other strikers get only 1d6 striker damage instead of 2d6. Rangers and warlocks have to spend a minor to get the striker damage. The monk gets the same average damage as the rogue and dosent have to spend an action. Add on top of that...

They always then start using reduced donkeyhorses too. Pretty soon you get Muletually Assured Destruction.

It hasnt come up yet, but in my game we will be ignoring the death penalty. not enough of a penalty to be worth keeping track of. I usually ignore the prime shot bonus for warlocks and rangers. Not usually worth the effort to remember it. Mind you, this is when I am playing the ranger. I...

I would call it an ignore. You are ignoring the rule that you cant change the locked skills :)
