    D&D 4E Goodbye Descent. How 4e Made this Jaded Dad Love D&D Again.

    So good! Hi there, I probably find this post the best ever read on Enworld so far. I'm 27 and I started playing when I was the age of 8, there were no full translations to Italian of D&D that time, we just had the red box in our language and a few dices. I still remember what I felt when I...

    I think the thing missing here is that "The rules need to make sense" is exactly what I desire most along with having a party of players who really like playing D&D like the "Game" (I mean RPG in general here) not just as a "game"...there's no need to debate about a specific rule or...

    Can you recall that phrase in the DMG (hope so ;)) saying that a power has to be used in an encounter where a real threat exists and specifying you can't take with you a bag full of rats to smash them and heal an ally? I'm talking about this kind of bad players, doing this kind of stuff ALL...

    That is exactly what I'm referring to! It's not a single rule debate, it's ruining the spirit of the game, it's a deliberate effort to break the fundamental rule of a RPG. Can you remember the very two first questions asked by non players? How long does it take? AND Who win? This kind of...

    Ibixat, the thing here is that I don't want my players to play my way or else, as you say, because I always let my player choose their own path without restrictions. I had chaotic evil players as well as assassins and evil warriors...the thing here is that I don't like people who play a certain...

    Lots of Power Players uh? :) Ok (please consider the following as just quick samples) 1 Power Players are those one who pick up the brand new version of a race of the manual (you know it was the one they really disliked in previous edition...the worse) because now they have that wonderfull...

    i'm lucky enough to be without such players in the group... :) regarding d&d, i like the whole thing, why spoiling it with very very bad metagaming?

    IT IS NOT A MATTER OF RULES; IT'S A MATTER OF APPROACH. First, I'm DMing since I was 9 years old (d&d red box) and now I'm 27, secondarily, there's no such a PPlaya in my group (mmm....just a "low" power playa... :)) THIRD, i on't want to fight and struggle with regulatory issues every single...

    RIGHT! The one he has been carefully preparing for the previous 14 days, that one! That will never be more than your 1 year long campaign preparation.... THIS THREAD IS POLEMIC ON PURPOSE :) JUST TO HAVE SOME SINCERE CONSIDERATIONS ON BAD PLAYERS :)

    Hi there, obviously it is possible to speak with the player and YES it is the first thing to do. MAYBE. I've been at the 4th Edition launch in Italy and there I've met some of the (archetype) players I'm referring to. People who cast Eldritch Blast on every sinlge statue, furniture and...

    Next time I'll find a player trying to sneak the rules in order to get some pathetic advantage over monsters, other players, the environment and/or the setting, I'll do the following in the following order: 1. Ban that player from my games. IF NOT POSSIBLE (he's a friend? he owns the house...

    Rangers and bastard swords

    Ya I know, I'm the Dm in the case, but it's much more difficult to stop a player using a rule contained in the official PH than in other supplements... it would be perceived as something unfair... anyway...it seems it may be done...provided I don't like the image of a human running over and...

    Rangers and bastard swords

    Yes but the ranger's ability gives him the chance to handle one handed weapons, and the bastard sword is among them, as off hand weapons.... but it seems anyway strange to me to have a character with two bastard swords....

    Rangers and bastard swords

    Hi guys, a quick question regarding the rules relating to the ranger's ability to be equipped with two blades. Provided the superior military weapon talent is taken, it seems the ranger may be eventually equipped with two bastard swords. Do you know something in the rules hindering such a...
