    It is more likely that conventional wisdom was simply wrong. I am not a fan of 4E and did not convert, but commercially speaking, it is surely very successful. Weren't there indications from WotC that 4E sales were brisk?

    Official posts on DDM changes

    Interesting news - thanks for posting this. They jacked up prices of miniatures in 2006, which just happened to coincide with the start of a slide in sales. The two could be interconnected. I am not saying they could keep the prices the same and make a profit, as production costs do change...

    Starting HP

    How about giving everybody a flat starting bonus to hit points instead? Pathfinder, for example, has an optional rule to add 6 hit points at the beginning (or do it by race: 4hp for weak races, 6hp for normal races and 8hp for strong races).

    Forked Thread: Did 4e go far enough or to far?

    I wanted to vote that it went far too far, but in many respects I also tend to agree with the quote below:

    Thanks all!

    Esoteric words for "mental"

    Does anybody know of any esoteric words meaning "Mental" (as in, relating to the mind)? The only one I can think of is "Phrenic" - are there any more?

    How Many Brain Lobes Would You Like?

    I prefer having at least three mental abilities and preferably more. It is a question of granularity of distinction and enables the character to be described mechanically in more precise terms.

    Hmm, perhaps the wizards ought to attempt to extend the Injunction to those other groups.

    Experience Points and Levels/Titles

    Thanks for the explanations! Of course, everybody will get XP for their helpfulness (hey, what can I say - I like the system), but due to the 3 per day limit some will not get it immediately.

    Experience Points and Levels/Titles

    Fair enough - I suspected it would be something like that. Nevertheless, I have 16 XP even though only 2 people gave me awards. That still leaves open the mystery of where the extra 4 points came from. I agree with you - 50 is a huge number especially when you can only give 3 per day. I would...

    Will the real 4E please stand up?

    You can download the free Beta version here: paizo.com - Store / By Company / P / Paizo Publishing, LLC / PathfinderTM / Pathfinder RPG The open beta testing process is ongoing right now. Indeed, rage points, although part of the Beta version, seem to have been dumped from the final version...

    Experience Points and Levels/Titles

    I have looked slightly deeper into this and there are still some things I am mot clear about. I also have only one award, but for some reason my account shows that I have 15XP which brings me to Level 2. I gave some other people XP and found out that my "XP power" is to give 1 XP at a time. I am...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder RPG Beta Release is available!

    I don't know the answer to that. In case you are interested, though, the playtest feedback session on Clerics, Druids & Paladins just started today: paizo.com - Paizo / Messageboards / Paizo Publishing / PathfinderTM / Pathfinder RPG / Design Forums / Classes: Cleric, Druid, and Paladin

    Order of the Stick 597 is up!

    OOTS rocks again! I never stopped enjoying it, but now it's back to its halcyon days! I think V and Belkar might reconcile at some point in the future. ;) Who knows, maybe they will even end up together, though gender ambiguity of V could make that difficult... or interesting in a very...

    How Long Are Old Threads Kept and Where Are They Archived?

    Is there a time limit on when old threads are deleted or moved from active forums to some kind of archive? And if so, what is the time limit and/or where are they archived? Also, once archived, do they stay archived permanently, or are they also deleted from the archive after a longer period...

    Aeon (updated 10/9/14)

    That was a great read. It appears the war has now begun in earnest. We will see how the convoluted dealings of Mostin and the other characters help shape the outcome of what is happening in Wyre.

    Eadric et. al. (The Paladin and his Friends).

    Aeons are what I would like to see more about - very intriguing indeed!

    Experience Points and Levels/Titles

    Perhaps we could have a more accurate figure? ;) I suspect that it is the XP required for a given level in 4E but divided by 100.
