    Is it time for a new setting?

    What is so wrong with the setting in your opinion? I'm really interested to see what you see as so unrealistic (...) or bad about it. I can see magic being so common (low level magic at least) as the main thing for your dislikes. What I like about Eberron is : -The concept of a world split in...

    Excerpt: the quest's the thing

    With just 10 appropiated level encounters (including social encounters) and quest rewards, I don't know if characters will be leveling way too fast. My campaigns are usually very plot-centered, as in, the plot carries the adventure and it's the most important thing. Players are free to do other...

    Excerpt: You and Your Magic Items

    I actually think of the Witch-King of Angmar challenging Gandalf at Minas Tirith. That's serious business and no joke at all!

    Leadership Millage

    Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen Warlord healing spells...and I was expecting at least one from a leader class.

    Cheating?

    If a 4e DM plays 3.5 secretly, is he cheating on 4e?

    Translations of Core Rulebooks

    French and Italian versions are being released in June/Summer. No idea about other languages. Since I think Spanish version could take just too long, I decided to go for the English version.

    Maps from "Keep on the Shadowfell"

    I really like those battlemaps. I got a nice discount at amazon.com, so I think I will order KotS this week...

    How're we supposed to divvy the loot?

    My players (and their characters) share the items depending who needs it more. If it isn't so obvious, like rings of protection and stuff like that, they roll and higher gets. Then the next item that is in doubt goes for the lower roller. Items like wondrous items that are useful for the entire...

    D&D 4E 4e: Death of the Bildungsroman

    That's specially true with high strength creatures (giants mostly) wielding great axes or hammers or any x3 critical weapon. A Frost Giant will be dealing ~70,5 damage with a critical strike, not counting that a single attack power point will up that to 76,5 (I personally don't multiply attack...

    How will you handle this?

    I wouldn't consider the leap from 3e to 4e to be that big or radical, as you said. Now, converting characters always has this kind of problems. Missing classes, races, concepts, etc. However, I'm sure she can find something she likes at the 4e. No animal companion or shapeshifting, but the...

    D&D 4E 4E PHB Viewing at Games Plus, what we saw

    When I visit the doctor, the invitation is "open" (anyone can ask for a visit to the doctor), but the meeting is private. Or something. Rituals, as Lord Nat said, would be great.

    D&D 4E AC and 4e

    Fortitude, reflexes and will are passive defenses that work like AC did in 3.5. AC is used for physical attacks (mostly), while fortitude, reflexes and will are for spells and special maneouvers. So, in order to avoid a fireball, the attack will roll his attack and compare it to your reflexes...

    Preorder, cancel, preorder, cancel etc

    I just preordered mine by Amazon. It will cost me 48€ (~$72), shipping costs included. It should be here 9th-30th June. I consider it a big deal considering that, if I wanted the Spanish version, I would have to wait months (who knows how many) and each book would cost me 35-40€.

    Dragonborn & Tieflings: What is their place in your world?

    That gives a Tiefling a "too uncommon" feeling. I'll be considering many things before decide it, like, if any of my PCs is going to play one, I will set, but if not, I will be slowly developing the idea and adding it to the current campaign. Dragonborn as a Rajah creation would create tense...

    What do you want to use?

    Orcs Orcs Orcs! Eye of Gruumsh and the Bloodrager sound very fun. I can see epic fights with PCs taking down dozens of minions, then trying to reach the Gruumsh while the Bloodrager just refuses to die. (Yes, this was possible with 3.5, but don't diminish my fun now)

    Need WOTC Offical to deal with the half-elf pregen/Keep of Shadowfell before release.

    Thanks both for the clarification. [Un]Wise paladins and half-elves around the [PoL]world can now rejoice.

    Dragonborn & Tieflings: What is their place in your world?

    For Eberron, I'm still considering it, however, I got something in mind. For the tiefling, a part of the second wave that arrived to Khorvaire from Sarlona, including many nobles and high status people, were charmed by a hidden Rakhasha Rajah. Those corrupted nobles founded a city somewhere...

    I respect Uwe Boll as an unintentional bad comedian.

    KotS Healing Potions

    Ah, potions, at last. These could be minor healing potions, that's why they heal 10 HP. Higher level (tier?) healing potions will probably cure more. Compare to 3.5. A level 1 drinking a potion, healing himself 1d8+1 (a high % of his HP) and the same character, at level 6, drinking the same...
