Thanks guys. I'll bring the cust-serv response to the GM in question. It might make the Dwarf Fighter very happy, since he's currently had to take Weapon Prof (Execution Axe) and was planning on taking DWT at 4th level to get the damage bonus.

*Bump* Last night, after a D&D game, I was talking with the guy playing a Dwarf Fighter and the DM, and one of the topics that came up was Dwarven Weapon Training and Superior-class axes and hammers. In short, the DM was insistent that there had been an official ruling that DWT did not give...

Which makes the ability to negate a portion of the damage (since you really can't really on having a high defense score to save your bacon) all the more valuable, especially at the higher levels. If PC Andy and PC Bob have identical Defense values and Attack scores, but Bob is wearing armor...

Matter of opinion, with which I strongly disagree. Just becuase not every strip is a zinger doesn't mean it's jumped the shark. But from the sounds of it, you're one of the initial audience that Rich knew was going to get left behind when he did the shift from "constant string of D&D jokes" to...

Probably just on the "It's a milestone strip and nothing majorly dramatic happened!" I guess some folks are just way too quick to say something has jumped the shark these days.

After reading the strip, all I could think to say was "Well played, Mr. Burlew. Well played." Especially as one of my co-workers (herself an OotS fan) was spewing theories about V and the imp's conversation and the results about as fast as Belkar has been spewing the contents of his stomach...

The Eladrin Swordmage in my Saturday group went with the longsword and took the Eladrin Soldier feat for added goodness. And since the vast majority of her attack effects have the weapon keyword, she gets the +2 damage bonus on pretty much everything, and with the +3 attack bonus from the...

Not that much worse than Great Cleave, a 1st level power which lets you do 1[W] damage to every adjacent enemy, with an added kicker to damage for each bad guy you're taking a whack at. Less damage seems a fair trade-off for not having to make an attack roll, with Blade Sweep being an "all or...

Just to toss out an idea, but what about changing the wording of DWT ever so slightly? Pretty much, it treats axes and hammers as being one step down the proficiency chain. A battleaxe (martial) would be considered a simple weapon, while the craghammer (superior) would become a martial weapon...

Also regarding, the Imperial Knights, check out Legacy #22. I'd say that this issue showcases the Imperial Knights at their best, and I wouldn't mind seeing more of those two as opposed to Draco and Ganner.

The one problem I see with the Armor as DR approach is that can make PCs even tougher to kill than they are already. The RCR had this problem to an extent where you had to be off your rocker to not want to at least where a blast vest for some added insurance against a critical hit. If using...

I agree. I've done some fun mini-campaigns that were based of "What If?" scenarioes. Also, GM Chris of the Order 66 podcast is running an AU campaign, where the "break-off point" was that Anakin didn't stop Mace Windu from killing Palpatine. No Order 66, no Empire, no Darth Vader. He's got a...

It's probably more of an honoriffic, much like calling someone in a respected position "Master So-and-So." Ahsoka would use 'Master' when talking to Anakin since he's her teacher. Example: King Theoden in Two Towers movie refering to Gimli as "Master Dwarf." Gimli is simply (to Theoden's...

Have to say it's a toss-up between the Clone Wars and Legacy-comic eras. Clone Wars has a lot going on, and can allow for Jedi PCs with little fiddling. Legacy has the Empire and lots of Sith as villains.

If the sounds coming from the My Little Pony game were any indication, quite a bit of fun was had. Or at least quite a bit of something the rest of us weren't drinking :) Was quite pleased with how my Clone Wars game turned out, even though I wound up having two guys run two characters...

A couple other details to watch out for (also a lesson learned from D&D 3rd edition): Single Villain Encounters: Given there are no rules per se for Solo monsters in SWSE, don't throw just one villain against the PCs, even if said villain is 5 or more levels higher than them. Even if you...

Been playing in a Dawn of Defiance campaign set during the Legacy Era (surprisingly very little in the way of changes required to make it work), and the last official module we got through was Echoes of the Jedi, which was (to me at least) the worst of the bunch. As for the goal of the...

Well, the appointed day has arrived. Looking forward to seeing you folks in a couple of hours.

Regarding recovery rates in SWSE, I've been using a house rule that when someone uses Treat Injury on you, you regain hit points equal to one-half their check result, which goes a fair ways towards alleviating the slow recovery times without giving players a high-fantasy degree of 'magical...

Guard shoto is a short lightsaber that provides a bonus to UtF checks for Block and Deflect, while the pike is a reach weapon with a penalty on those same UtF checks and is part of the lightsabers group. Damage can be gleaned from the 1st Force Unleashed minis preview. Of the races you listed...
