    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    It's not ridiculous, it's absolutely true. Trademark law encourages the enforcement of that trademark or else they risk becoming unable to enforce it. Trademark isn't like patents or copyrights. Trademarks can be abandoned through lack of use and infringements can be defended as implied...

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    Dude, even "Superhero" is an officially registered Trademark. Co-owned by Marvel and DC. But not super hero. hah

    Why DON'T people like guns in D&D?

    How can anyone say Army of Darkness wasn't fantasy? It was bitching fantasy. So is Dark Tower, actually. @Stoat: Your points seem to revolve around ranged (#s 1 and 2). What about the numerous ranged classes/builds in D&D? Ranger, Wizard, Warlock, etc.

    Longtooth Shifter Regen

    It's been nearly a decade since I coded, but your example seems odd. The while will produce a loop while bloodied, meaning that so long as the bloodied status is maintained it will constantly regenerate until no longer bloodied. Your if/when will only give a single instance of regeneration...

    Question about burst

    1) Cover rules and line of effect are what I'd consider, with appropriate modifiers. Since I don't have those memorized, I can't tell you the specifics. 2) He's in range, but I'd again check on cover rules. He is one square away at an upward diagonal. 3) Yes.

    Award or penalize

    I'd never reward players for interparty drama. It just rewards them for playing against each other over playing together. If it's that easy to get XP, I should just pick fights with the rest of my current group. I'll even roleplay it. Don't even have to leave the inn. And, best of all, I...

    D&D 4E Is there any D&D 4th computer game?

    I'm in the "it's got to be turn based" camp. There's too many instant actions and movement abilities. These are two things neither NWN game did with any competence. But the Western mass-market doesn't care as much for turn-based RPGs. All turn based RPGs are predominantly Eastern or low...

    Players don't provide wish lists... What would you do?

    Make sure you're actually giving them upgrades. And try to be similar to what they're already running around with. Don't give a guy who's sword and shielding a greataxe. If you give a player an obvious upgrade and he turns around and sells it, he's too stupid for his PC to live. There's no...

    quick bonus stack question

    If by "magical weapon's bonus to damage" you mean the enhancement bonus, yes, they stack.

    Sneak attacks with spells

    Sorcerous Blade Channeling only works if you also accept it works as ranged. The point of contention isn't whether it's melee or ranged, but whether implement powers qualify. I've been away a while, but I haven't heard anything definitive to answer this. However, unless the player is somehow...

    Great DM, crappy friend vs. good friend, crappy DM

    Help Ted to learn. Or maybe another of you volunteer.

    Reskinning Class Fluff

    Since this seems to be about 4E, "low-int" is, at worst, an 8. With 10 being average human intelligence. He's not mentally challenged. All Wizard really implies is that he studied his magic, and that's not even a necessary implication. You don't have to be a genius to go to school.

    Players: Do you keep a character journal?

    I can't imagine using one. Thinking over my current campaign, such seems silly. Here's what I imagine it would be like: So I was sitting at a table, minding my own business, drinking tea, when Hobgoblins burst in and start trying to kill people. They just kept coming and coming. Whatever...

    Reskinning Class Fluff

    Old idea I really liked. Warlock as gunslinger. Rods become pistols. All of his attacks become trick shots. Though you might have to stretch a little to justify Cha/Con for attacks instead of dex. But with some handwaving as him pulling of his trick shots with more flair than dexterity...

    iPad

    A battlemat program. Include the image file for the area. Overlay it with image files for player tokens. Have effect tokens to overlay ontop of them or to click in a check box. Scroll and zoom functionality. That'd be sweet. That'd be incredibly useful, with or without multitasing.

    iPad

    That's about the only use for it I can see myself having. And it's just neat enough a use to warrant a consideration if I have the spare cashes.

    D&D character with multiple personalities

    One idea I liked for changing between characters is that everytime one of them went to sleep, the other one would be the one that ends up waking up. Extended Rest? Change characters. 0HP and making Death Saving Throws? Change characters. Any sort of attack described as rendering the...

    D&D character with multiple personalities

    If it had different classes it wouldn't be LFR legal. Unless you're doing a hybrid or MC character. If it simply had different alignments, you could put down unaligned on the character sheet. I've toyed with trying to get a DM to let me do something like this. A Changeling Rogue that...

    Paladin of Kord. Not recommended as a PC?

    I have to agree with Dooku.
