I understand. At least if they could be more "different". I read the description of eladtin but mechanically really didn't find they lived up to their flavour. IMO D&D's coolest take on a "faerie-like elf" were the Sidhelien in Birthright. Banshee

IMO Paizo nailed sorcerers. That's the direction Paizo should go. I like the idea of sorcerers building spells.....but no edition of D&D has a built in spellmaking system in core and I dom't see that changing. Banshee

Agreed. Banshee

I wouldn't mind some of the races being more alien. I lived the Sithi of Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. They were elves....but inhuman. Immortal, slender, but gold skinned, with spooky eyes with slit pupils. They were graceful, but from the perspective of humans they "weren't right"...

I don't think we need to be making races pudgy. It's only really this century that weight became an issue. For most of historyI don't think people had a stable enough supply of food to even HAVE weight problems (excepting royalty). I *do* like te idea of characters not all being supermodels...

I diasagree. The names were silly. The only ones I lined were a few from Eberron. It made it feel like they were scraping the bottom of the barrel. Banshee

5d6 is useless if HP aren't scaled back. It averages to...17-18 damage before a save. I *hope* Monte's going towards scaling powers....like augmentations from the 3E psionic system or the channeling of the old Wheel of Time game. I prefer the capped HP systems of OGL adaptations like the...

I tried going to that link but I get a security warning that the site is insecure and someone may be trying to hijack my connection. I could definitely see the Fire being a big proportion of Android tablets. It's the cheapest so it'll have appeal for casual users. My parents wouldn't even...

I'm really unsure where you think random encounters are not in 3E. They're right in the DMG. Honestly, I've been reading these comments and it feels to me like you're creating problems for yourself by not including random encounters, then blaming the system for not working. Really, all you...

I checked the stats for a bunch of sites I've developed and Android tablets consistently come in at about 15% of all tablet traffic visitors. One site had them as 0% but the rest averaged between 15-20%. It's obviously a smaller sample, but it's what I'm seeing. The Playbook doesn't show up...

Aside from the fact that Eladrin in 4E got rid of a cool race of planar creatures that I loved from Planescape, I kind of liked the "faerie-ish" split they created in elves. If anything though, I'd like the Eladrin to be more faerie-ish. Mechanically, they didn't really seem to be. I kind of...

Well played! :) Banshee

Kudos to you for patience. I've reached the point in my life that I'm "line averse". I think Boxing Day is the only thing I've been willing to wait in line for, the last few years, and I haven't even done that for 3 years. Nowadays, I just find the deals online, order through the websites...

Are we playing a wargame here? Or an RPG? I've never played or run a game like that. Entire sessions sometimes go by with no dice being rolled. The players play their characters, even if it means making suboptimal choices that result in bad (or good) results for them, but that are in...

Are we to assume that if you ever disappear off these boards, she found out? :) Banshee

And good luck getting the Apple product when it's released. When I got my iPhone 4, I couldn't even *get* one until November of 2010.....even though it was released in....what...June? July? Maybe that's part of the reason I've been so blasé about it. My expectations were so high based on how...

I think you've got different corporate objectives driving the two companies....it's the only real reason I can think of behind why an author can write a terrible adventure for WotC and then something great for Paizo. That, and creative direction. What else could explain it? I think Paizo...

Yup, good numbers. Probably a few factors going on there... 1-People interested in the Siri idea buying the phone.. 2-Sales in Q3 were down, possibly because customers were holding off on renewing until the new phone came up.....so you had Q3 sales getting pushed into Q4. 3-Lawsuits limiting...

The Malazan Books of the Fallen series is an excellent example of a D&D style setting, showing how the characters and societies would deal with the fact that mages exist. They're considered vital units in an army and can help turn the tide of battle......but the regular soldiers arealso...

Uh, that's exactly what I was saying.....if the bear was getting attacked by other PCs, it likely wouldn't finish off the first one. If the other PCs were *not* attacking it, then it might very well finish off the PC it dropped. I don't remember the original post, but I don't think the poster...
