The grizzled dragonborn fighter stood 10 feet away from the rabbit, eyes steady, sword level. "Come and get it," he sneered. "Come and get it if you DARE, you miserable little..." And with a roar, the rabbit attacked! I could get behind a campaign like that. Four regular characters, and a...

I'm not trying to shut down ALL debate, just inefficient posturing on both sides about what's martial, mundane, mystical, magical, blah blah blah. There will never be a consensus and frankly (at least here on ENworld), it almost always is centered around some sort of edition war, which I'm...

So a long-jumping high-strength Eladrin barbarian with Great Leap can jump a... (diceroll) ...[bleep]ing long distance. Ready the teleport for mid-arc and get an extra 5+ squares in there. Nice.

I really hope so. It's the most underrepresented "role" in 4E so far, and could really use some love. Bit off topic, but didn't I see some kind of comment from one of the designers concerning how tough it is to design for the Controller role? Coulda sworn. At any rate, there's going to be at...

The eye in the demiplane is Insubstantial, so it's not going to be taking much damage. Meanwhile, creatures in that demiplane are being dazed and stunned every round, and won't be able to heal/help their friends on the outside. The Dreadnought is definitely a Divide and Conquer monster...

Well, Derren, some sweet day WotC and everyone else will run their design ideas by you before publishing anything. Until that happy day, onward! The timing of this release is tight, no bones about it. With the Draconomicon released, a lot of DMs are going to be all spaz-tastic about dragons...

Well, where you see failure, I see something fun that can be used to get all the players back into the narrative of a battle. It's not any different from any other edition, or any RPG in the history of the world ever. That's all my experience, though. Different strokes for different folks.

Too true. I have a good friend who runs a 3.5 game (which I'm sadly not part of) where he basically just wings THE ENTIRE THING, using base assumptions and common sense. He'll flip through the MM now and then, but that's about it. He's never had problems with it, and gets confused when people...

1. Running a group through Scales of War. It's an all-dwarf party with all the PCs related somehow to a remote and dying dwarf clan, seeking to restore the glory of their name (well, a few them at least) by...well, you'd have to read the adventures yourself. 2. Playing in a converted...

The whole meta-game issue is kind of pointless to argue. I mean, if I wanted to DM a game completely devoid of meta-game influence, I would calmly pass out sheets of paper to my players describing what's happening, and have a little check-list available to see what they want to do. Then we'd...

Oh no! And in this land completely devoid of magic and mystery, there's absolutely no way to help her, or (gods forbid) bring her back if she's dead!

It's a woman thing. Seriously. ;)

Rechan mentioned that it's one more thing to track, for a mere +1 bonus. Yes, I know +1 to Attack is great and all, we should all throw PARADES around a +1 to attack, but still, counting squares between you and every enemy, and then from said enemy to any other ally, is no fun. The MAIN reason...

I could get behind that, merely because I hate Prime Shot with the fury of a thousand suns. The least seen of Prime Shot, the better! ;)

Honestly curious, because I played in a C&C game once and really loved it, have people tried mixing in some 4E stuff in with C&C? I'd definitely give that a shot! Also, since Fifth Element forgot it and it deserves better than his/her little clause at the bottom of the post: Kingdoms of...

I'm an archer who doesn't want some animal following me around. I'm a sniper, a loner, and I prefer it that way. That's why an archer ranger wouldn't want to be beastmaster. (shrug)

Without attacking, the Beast can: 1. Flank with you and other allies. 2. Make OAs 3. Go places and do things you can't (example: spider can climb up walls, raptor can fly) 4. Take actions on your turn that leave you free to do other things (deliver something to an ally, harry a fleeing...

I'm interested in seeing the changes to the At-Wills. My two Barb characters are fearful of change. :eek:

I think there are 2-3 items in the AV that add to your defenses without being one of the three slots that actually bumps up your stats numerically. I just disallow them in my game because they're lame. (shrug)

Yeah, man, do I love D&D. I love pretty much every system I've played (except for the Buffy/Angel Unisystem that a friend of mine really enjoys...blargh), but there's nothin' like getting back to your roots with D&D, no matter what edition. In all fairness, I haven't PLAYED every edition, but...
