    D&D 4E What are the generally powerful classes in 4e?

    I agree on the fighter and the wizard. I also happen to think that the bow-ranger and the healer-cleric stand out. While there are builds or other classes that can be tweaked to deal more damage that the twin-strike-machine, none match him when you add the ability to stay alive. 20+ range on the...

    Essentials: why the hate?

    might just be anecdotal. The executioner in my campaign triggered it several times per session for several levels, until he died. This short message was brought to you by Tapatalk and my iPad

    Essentials: why the hate?

    People hated 4e, I loved 4e. Now people hate Essentials, and I love Essentials. It just seems to be how things work. ;) This short message was brought to you by Tapatalk and my iPad

    13th Level Brawny Rogue -- which Encounter Power to lose?

    If Low Slash is going unused, you are playing too conservatively. Use it earlier. It's damage should at roughly equal SA damage, so would be kinda silly to waste it. This short message was brought to you by Tapatalk and my iPad

    13th Level Brawny Rogue -- which Encounter Power to lose?

    Not low slash, its just too good. I would ditch dazing, since its (only) amazing against monsters with multiple actions, whereas the other works well against all monsters equally. This short message was brought to you by Tapatalk and my iPad

    Athas located in the Feywild? In the Abyss? or in the Nine Hells?

    Found it - was this thread, based on this article.

    Athas located in the Feywild? In the Abyss? or in the Nine Hells?

    I read about this before, was there something official or was it a suggestion on these boards? I can't for the life of me remember, but this idea was what gave the original idea for the campaign. It's definitely interesting though. Another idea that I like a lot, perhaps even more than my own...

    Athas located in the Feywild? In the Abyss? or in the Nine Hells?

    Yeah, guess I had a brainfart for a short while. Never post when drunk or when you have a sick 2 year-old crawling all over you!

    Athas located in the Feywild? In the Abyss? or in the Nine Hells?

    I thought about the demi-plane idea, and kinda liked it. I am not sure if I will use it, but this was the idea it inspired: The Tarrasque is not just a huge abomination, but a mythical god-killer and a ravager of worlds. Asleep since the dawn of times, the gods long feared that it would awake...

    Athas located in the Feywild? In the Abyss? or in the Nine Hells?

    Other than no gods, what are you thinking about?

    Athas located in the Feywild? In the Abyss? or in the Nine Hells?

    In my Dark Sun campaign, my players have, after unwillingly helping install a new sorcerer-king in Tyr, stumbled over clues that Athas is maybe not what they thought it was. They are currently investigating this, and the plan is that by the end of level 10, they figure out that Athas is in...

    D&D 5E (2014) What needs to be fixed in 5E?

    While I do not agree with everything in your lengthy post, KarinsDad, you make some very compelling arguments. Especially about controlling the design from the get go, about having a plan. No matter which direction 5e takes, I sincerely hope that the designers listen to you and come up with a...

    D&D 5E (2014) What needs to be fixed in 5E?

    Is that because you want fighter3/barbarian5/ranger1/rogue1/paragonpath/epicdestiny-characters or fighter5/wizard5/pp/ed-characters? Either way, I really hope they keep the class-pp-ed system.

    a question about movement

    Nope. Still the same turn.

    Legand & Lore: Magic Items

    I agree. Even better than inherent would be a system where you dont need to get +1/4 levels in order to stay at par. Removing the + part of weapons, armors and necklaces would make for much more interesting choices. Weapons would be judged by their abilities and powers, instead of the amount of...

    Legand & Lore: Magic Items

    If you use inherent bonuses, all you need to do is to rule that if your inherent bonus > the magic bonus of the sword, then the sword acts as if it had the inherent bonus. Meaning, that if a level 28 picks up a Flaming Sword +2, it acts as if it was a Flaming Sword +6 for the purpose of critical...

    Legand & Lore: Magic Items

    Don't worry, last week, Legends was spelled without the "d". It's apparently a common ENWorld disease ;) Regarding the article, Mr. Cook hits the mark, at least for me. Give me (the DM) an effective way to calculate how to balance my campaign depending on which items has been found and I would...
