First thing anybody does is to accuse everybody else of being a cylon. :D

Well, to be fair, 2ed just called them tanari and baatezu due to moral guardian hysteria. To throw my 2 cp into this thread, it seems to me that 2e->3e changed a lot of the underlying assumptions of the game and its game engine, but most of that change was hidden to the casual eye because the...

The viability of the whole idea about different character being in the spotlight in different times is completely dependent on how long it takes to resolve each character's spotlight moment in real time. If character A's spotlight moment takes 5 minutes to resolve while character B's take 2...

I agree with Ahnehnois here. While there may be a bit less backlash from disgruntle 3e fans, not calling 4e D&D would've killed any serious plans to use 4e to expand the market, which was of course one of the main WotC objectives with 4e. For good or ill, to most people D&D is synonomous with...

Really? Maybe it was intended that way at first, but it's difficult to think that your 1st level character is special and a tough veteran when they die with one hit and you go through three of them in a single session.

Polearm Master PP's lv 12 utility is a daily stance that gives you threatening reach.

For the first fight, I'd prolly go 2 standards and 8 minions. The standards are there so your ranger and rogue can roll some damage dies. You'd also want to be careful about what kind of monsters you send against the PCs. Start off using skirmishers and brutes since they're fairly...

Well, it seems kinda silly for monks to have a monk-only feat (Unarmed Mastery) that they really can't use. Do monks have options for expanding their crits except for jagged weapons?

I'm not too up-to-date with the monk rules but ki focus still doesn't work with feats and utilities that improves unarmed strikes (eg. that epic crit expanding feat), right?

Magic properties solve everything. :) If you want a spear with reach and be throwable, you can get yourself a hungry spear.

One of the new essentials books.

The feat is Avenging Resolution. It doesn't give brutal 3, it just treats rolls of 1 or 2 as if it was a 3. It doesn't really have any interaction with vorpal at all.

Lovecraft is always good for crazy ramblings.

I play Magic Online. Ever since WotC "upgraded" to MTGO 3.0, I've played a lot less since even 3 years after the upgrade that version is still missing the Leagues functionality that I love to play. Now I basically only play the release events when a new set is released. But just because I play...

I'm not sure hardness scores do anything practical in game. A decent ranger or barbarian can have at-will static damage mods in the teens by lv 10 or 11. The difference in damage between an axe or a dagger is comparatively low at that point. It may take a few more rounds to chop through a ship...

It's a lv 22 sorcerer daily utility.

I find that humans with their extra feat, skill and at-will are a very good race for hybrids if your two hybrid halfs happen to have the same primary.

No one requires that you do monster initiatives by groups, but if your encounter have 3 standards, 2 elites and 12 minions, it's a bitch to roll and track individual initiatives for 17 monsters.

They would almost certainly be fire-breathing wyverns instead. No vertebrates has ever evolved six functional limbs.

There was a docufiction from the animal planet about this a few years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragons:_A_Fantasy_Made_Real
