Oops wrong thread, wrong post.

Skill Power: Fast Hands, which is great when your actions are limited by the parameters of an actual encounter.

That sounds great. I guess I will go with battleraging, but instead of multi-class cleric abilities I'll just rely on dragon breath to make multi-marks, enhanced by feats like Expanded Dragon Breath and Hurl Breath. Right now, my DM has a story going on about blood magic and zombies, and she...

Meh. At that rate, then perhaps I should just consider going shield or two-handed, but I can't decide which one to run with. I hate taking skill penalties from being shielded, but I hate having lower defenses without it. Perhaps I should just pursue the path of Battlerager Vigor and accept the...

Been there, haven't taken the time to read everything just yet. I'm considering just using this site as reference to bone up on the lore beforehand, even if I can't use any of the crunch in 4E (though I'm perfectly comfortable with converting stuff if I feel the need to do so.)

I see. Now I wish I were playing the Swordmage, as she does in fact, not really mark anything. Tried coaching her on it, but I didn't want to sound like a nag. I'll just hope that her sister, who is picking up on the rules really fast, will guide her at a later point.

Thanks! Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the swordmage. Her character is currently in a cultist's keep infected by blood magic zombie whatnot, so I think it wouldn't make sense to suddenly say, "okay you're now a dwarf barbarian!" nor would we want to kill off her character (bad...

Okay I'm going to go with pure fighter. Some of the powers are just too exciting to pass up, and I'm not sure if I want to fight too hard for Commander's Strike AND Combat Challenge/Combat Superiority. I've put together a build that involves two weapon fighting --- and I'll be honest, I'm...

I have a feeling that somewhere in upper management, someone thought that having an online support-dependent content release system for 4E meant "Oh it's gonna be like having a Wordpress blog! We only need like what four people for it?"

Iknoerait? I've been looking forward to the new stat block format being implemented into the tools for now. I thought that since HS1 already had it, and because we'd already gotten a preview of it elsewhere, they'd have the opportunity to implement it sooner than later. Ah. Well.

ZING! I hope they bring out those ear-worm things that Gygax used to kill off players who tried to listen through a door. What were those called again?

This was the most awesome debate ever.

Also, when a player hasn't figured out what he really wants to do with his or her character and role-playing, a dragonmark is a great tool for giving him or her direction.

My (entirely unfounded) suspicion is that there is a lot of project management strife that is keeping any new digital tools from being developed. I don't mean personal wars, but just poor direction and improper resource allocation. "I want you five guys to work on the Character Visualizer? Can...

I like it. What examples of "something bigger happens" do you have?

Mmmm... pie. I'm pretty sure Oriental Adventures is totally out and don't understand why people are interested in it as an individual setting. The idea of PCs kung fu-ing and samurai-ing around their way in a grand wuxia extravaganza is more of a campaign theme than an actual setting (I think...

I'm inclined to think that if the party doesn't care enough to want to spend their money here and there and come up with an optimal combination of wondrous items and other sorts of this and that... "expected wealth" probably doesn't matter in terms of balance as magic item power level. So long...

I use my balisong to carve my own dice out of coconut shells. All Southeast Asians can do that, you know. Kidding aside, yeah I know I can Internets it, but I meant a useful reference point. I mean some people believe the first Spelljammer book isn't the best 'beginner's guide' to...

While most of the ideas in Planescape have been folded into the Plane manuals, I wouldn't mind seeing it treated as an actual setting. I never played previous editions of the setting, so my understanding of it is filtered largely through second hand sources and the PC RPG, but the notion that...

I doubt it. I'd probably have to do some hunting out of town to do that. I live in the Philippines where pen and paper RPG retail and support is minimal at best, and most people are basically still using WoD and 3.5 materials.
