    Out of Healing Surges - what now?

    Actually, I think you'll find it's 10 with a potion.

    Dragonborn Paladin starting stats

    Are you intending to focus on Str-based powers, Cha-based powers, or dabble in both?

    Custom Magic Item Rules?

    Which, by extension means that by the time you could stack the properties, you're most likely settling for a smaller plus on the weapon than you could get with a single property. So it may not be worth it.

    D&D 4E 4E, Healing, and Suspension of Disbelief

    No, I think you are getting worn down by the effort of dodging that sword blow so it's just a glancing blow, putting out the fire on your armour before your skin blisters etc. (BTW, if a character or monster was every engulfed in flames but was still able to fight, I had trouble imagining that...

    D&D 4E Another Review of 4e

    *Double checks his post* Did I imply that? If so, my apologies.

    D&D 4E Heavy Concrete Data on 4e's Skill Challenge System (long, lots of tables)

    Unless of course, the consistency that you see is that both you and the author - who may not have been the one who wrote that table - are making the same error. Based on what we've seen so far, the web articles have been full of editing errors. No reason to suddenly start assuming they are...

    D&D 4E Another Review of 4e

    I know you weren't actually meaning to imply that anyone who uses minis is either cheap or geometrically challenged, but it could be misread as such. I play with two groups, neither of whom could use miniatures where they currently play due to factors such as table space, pets and small...

    D&D 4E Heavy Concrete Data on 4e's Skill Challenge System (long, lots of tables)

    Dare I even mention the possibility of a character with a trained skill linked to a stat which does not increase? E.G. Religion for a paladin with only 13 int. No points in Int except at 11 and 21. I can see this happening if they wanted to qualify for a multiclass or other feat. I know...

    D&D 4E 4E, Healing, and Suspension of Disbelief

    Since some people have complained that they cannot think of a way to rationalise healing surges, here's my attempt at providing one possible in-game explanation of healing surges, built on two premises I've observed in 4E: 1) Healing surges are a fact of life in a 4E setting. 2) In 4E healing...

    D&D 4E Showing the Math: Proving that 4e’s Skill Challenge system is broken (math heavy)

    Something just occurred to me. My books have yet to arrive, but the Skill Challenge excerpt had an example where intimidate was automatically a fail, no matter what you rolled. Is that still in? I'm asking because none of the numbers I've seen so far have taken into account that there can be...

    Warforged 4th edition problems

    If the PDF causes this much confusion, I shudder to think what will happen when Eberron comes out with its own version of Warforged.

    D&D 4E Showing the Math: Proving that 4e’s Skill Challenge system is broken (math heavy)

    1) Assumes that the character's prime stat AND racial bonus apply to a skill they trained,m and that this skill will always be useable in every skill challenge. That's hardly a safe assumption. In fact I would go so far as to declare it unlikey. 2) Further assumes that this character also got...

    Wizards: We want Class Power decks

    It looks like WoTC are waaaay ahead of us. Or rather, they would have been if they'd met the release date. *Sigh* I don't see them spending money on developing a product they eventually intend to offer for free to DDI subscribers. Subscribers wouldn't buy it and it would give non-subscribers...

    Out of Healing Surges - what now?

    Sounds like a great idea to me. May I further suggest, OP, that you remove several healing pots for each one of these you put in, not for any monetary balance but because the ointments fulfill the original purpose of allowing the party to continue without rest, while the potions actually...

    Staff of defense with two weapon fighting?

    The dagger isn't a general class of implement. There's a specific magical dagger that also acts as an implement for warlocks, in the same way a holy avenger does for palaadins.

    MI Daily Powers: Huh?

    Seerms like an extension of the one ring per hand logic to me - using an item disrupts your ability to use other items. Higher tier characters deal with this more easily. And to clarify a point before: You have 5 items with daily powers, are level 8, and have just started the day after an...
