That's how my current Rogue is operating at the time... Rapier + dagger So the two-weapon fighting rogue is alive in 4E, with more realism than its 3E predecessor

You mean like in real-life medieval Japan? ;) I also believe that it is not that Plate armor is too cheap in 4E, but rather that some other stuff is too expensive. You could probably try to fix that, but then you would need to introduce coins that are below a copper piece... Pennies...

Nothing else. If your fighter has one weapon in each hand (a one-handed weapon and an off-hand weapon), you can make a basic melee attack or use any of your melee weapon attack powers using either of your weapons. No penalties, but no extra attacks either, unless the power specifies it.

What I meant is that the GSL police won't batter down your door just because you decided to make a homebrew [Oerth/Ptolus/Golarion/Athas/Ravenloft/Krynn] 4th edition game... I agree that some settings favor the new rules more than others, but the case in point (a Westeros 4E game) is far from...

No need for fearmongering, you can run a 4E game in any campaign setting and with any houserules you want, without having to muck with the GSL or any other license... as long as you do not make that into a book and sell it.

I used to run this adventure (with some modifications) as my favorite "introduce new players to rpgs" tool for years. It is light on combat and heavy on problem-solving. ...maybe its time to adapt it to 4th edition, some areas of that adventure would benefit from some skill challenges

I´d do it If asked by my players, I could probably do a little aSoIaF one-shot using 4E rules. The ruleset would work with minimal changes for such a story, too. The changes will be: 1- Only Humans. 2- Any and all martial classes are allowed. Barbarians allowed only if wildlings beyond the...

I though this was the geek tattoo par excellence: True Gamer Geek - D20 Tattoo on Flickr - Photo Sharing! ...But the Warduke and Dew tattoos are way geekier

LOL I am the DM, but my group has a Cleric of Kord ("Kord, God of THUNDERRR!!") and an unshaven, dirty, alcoholic Paladin of Avandra. Avandra´s rescue is easily the best Channel Divinity power that a Paladin can get.

Vecna gets some loving on Thunderspire Labyrinth Now, on regards to Clerics hiding their true faith, I think that some evil gods (Vecna in particular) could probably have some "hidden keywords" and "double meanings" in their invocations to keep their true allegiance hidden in a civilized...

4E Settings I voted Ravenloft, but after reading the thread I have to agree that Dark Sun fits 4E better. The Domains of Dread articles in D&Di are an ok way to handle Ravenloft. I´d actually love it if WotC would release Planescape as "Sigil: City of Doors, a...

Well, strangely enough, it tells me that you Gringos stop buying D&D books when there´s a presidential election. :p

Sounds like the Large-Weapon-Ranger I was waiting for! Woot!

Alas, its easier to be denigrating and condescending than inspiring... So I guess we'll see that variety of warlord (along with the "drill sergeant" warlord) a lot.

Because it also has lots of good advise on how to deal with cheeky players :p

Well, as a suggestion, if goat horns and reddish skin are too much for you, perhaps Tieflings in your world could look just like regular humans, except that all of them have thin, arching eyebrows, and all the males have goatees or Fu-manchu moustaches...

...but back to topic, Didn't someone once put up a website with the "top 10 silliest creatures in D&D"? I remember it included some silly stuff that was from before my time (I started playing in the late eighties) like a duck/rabbit... - Edit: Ah! I found it...

Dragonborn fit very well here... Both are ProudWarriorRaceGuys True dat... Now that you mention Elvis, I might include a Pratchett-tribute-side-trek in my next urban adventure where a trio of bards make "Music With Rocks In" and become the next sensation... The party might be hired into...

4th edition, even though the conversion wouldn't be 100% faithful. Why? Because I want it to sell...:erm:
