    Stealth: There are two levels of "hidden", not one

    Well, its not the same... One thing is to scream "get him! he's right THERE!", and quite another is to scream "get him! He's 25 feet ahead and 10 feet to the right of you!" And no, "Talking is a Free Action" is not a reasonable excuse in this case! ;)

    Goodman NOT going GSL it looks like

    JVisgaitis, As someone who has done some independent publishing in the past (not game related), I wish you best of luck on your endeavor and fully support your decision... Violet Dawn looks quite interesting and I will be more than willing to purchase a .pdf from you guys.

    Irritating Prime Shot!

    Isn't it nice when we decode the designers intentions? ;) I used to think that the limitations of Prime Shot/Hunters Quarry/Warlocks Curse were designed to keep Rangers and Warlocks from being overpowered in a somewhat arbitrary way, but now I realize that these limitations actually work...

    The 15 min. adventuring day... does 4e solve it?

    I think there's still some traces of it, and some players will want to blow their dailies, rest, rinse and repeat. Still, given that now players have at-will and per-encounter powers, the DM can feel more confident giving time limits and less places to rest. Also, as soon as magic items enter...

    Why there's crafting in WOW and not in D&D

    Sigged for truth!

    2h weapon damage bonus?

    Right, because Katanas are just better(c) I am actually a bit miffed about greatswords and bastard swords... I might houserule greatsword base damage to 1d10+1 in my game (too bad we can't make it 2d5!)

    Mearls said magic items could easily be dumped?

    The recipe for playing a "gritty" campaign (which is what I understand from your "realistic" comment) is: 1- The only race open to PCs is human... the other races are either monsters, or strange fey folk with alien motivations and intentions. 2- The only power source open to PCs is martial...

    D&D 4E Just played my first 4E game

    So do I! It goes more or less like this: Citizen: Well, it seems that 4e is a fun game... Grognard-ist: Heresy! Get outta here and go back to your videogames! Citizen: I am excited that I can now play a martial-only campaign... Grognard-ist: Heresy! Gygax intended us all to play wizards...

    You say that like its a bad thing ;)

    Ecology of the Dragonborn up

    Constructive as always, eh Cirno? I see your scientifical impossibility and raise you with Bellisario's Maxim, the Rule of Cool, and the recommendation that you should just relax and enjoy. (I am using links from TV Tropes because I believe roleplaying games are all about the narrative...

    Kalamar - first published 4e setting?!?

    Gracias por tu comentario compa! I also find that transliterating names into Spanish (our first language here) helps everybody immerse themselves into the story. I don't do literal translations, though... instead I do approximations of the place/character/etc. name into Spanish equivalents...

    Kalamar - first published 4e setting?!?

    Harrumph! Going back into topic... This puts WotC in a very difficult position. It can indeed sue Kenzer and drag the lawsuit long enough to ruin them... However this would cause a big backlash against WotC (can you say "Streisand Effect"?)

    Kalamar - first published 4e setting?!?

    Kalamar - first published 4e setting?!?

    Heh, rarely do we spend more than the equivalent to $20.00USD on food and drinks for the entire group over here. Then again, living in the third world had to have at least some advantages...

    How Many Encounters?

    This. Also, the kobolds get time to call up reinforcements, including Kobold Hero and lead strategist Tuk-Err.

    Mounted Paragon Paths & Mounted Feats

    Minor Quibble: I think it should say "This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks from the target." Otherwise, it looks good I think the reason why mounted combat lost emphasis in 4e is because there's a limited number of situations where a mount is useful in combat (mainly outdoors...

    D&D 4E What would it take to remove the short rest from 4e?

    I don't think anything prevents you, as a DM, to allow people to spend healing surges and regain encounter powers and then say: "You barely have time to breathe when you hear heavy, iron shod footsteps from beyond the corridor... More Orcs! Roll initiative!"
