    D&D 3.x Problems with 3.5 I don't wanna see in 4th

    Here's another to add to the list: Golf Bag Syndrome (ala Monte Cook's description). DR was and is a mess. Just a headache not needed. Carrying around a Mace, Sword and silver arrows, cold-iron spear... on and on. As a player, a major pain in the arse. Monte's response was to make +1 through...

    D&D 3.x Problems with 3.5 I don't wanna see in 4th

    Wow are you serious??? That, my friend, is fantastic news. It makes roleplaying sooooo much more involved. I love it! Best news I've heard all day. :lol:

    D&D 3.x Problems with 3.5 I don't wanna see in 4th

    Yeah just reading through the updated notes on 4E and you're right, touch attacks and flat footed ac are out. Flying is still pretty complicated enough that I haven't bothered to learn the rules in the 8 years of 3rd ed. Just about the only rule I care to remember is that if you don't have...

    D&D 3.x Problems with 3.5 I don't wanna see in 4th

    Here's my list of 'don't do's' and wishes for 4E. These problems were a major headache and in some cases broken enough to ruin encounters. I know at least a few have been mentioned before, but for lack of a Search button, here they are again in a new thread, with others. 1. Darkness spells...

    Weapons as AC: It's about time...

    As I posted just now we could fix this with a feat. Because deflecting ranged weapons with a melee weapon is pretty 'buff' and hard for all but the most skilled, then the feat may require high dex as a pre-requisite or high levels, or simply say that melee weapons don't reduce your AC vs ranged...

    Weapons as AC: It's about time...

    Granted, ranged weapons shouldn't *normally* make a difference against someone who's armed with a sword... but perhaps with a feat? Just like monk's can snatch arrows, why can't a highly skilled swordsman cut them from the air? A two-ton claw... ok. Let's say this two-ton claw is coming down on...

    Weapons as AC: It's about time...

    It's really simple as BaB. It's one number, just like holding a shield. Nothing else to calculate. As far as balancing it for monks, wizards etc, it's really not much different. A mage trying to go toe to toe in melee against a warrior is sure to get schooled. Actually, this idea makes the mage...

    Weapons as AC: It's about time...

    An excellent thread on the wizards boards was started here. http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?p=13788852#post13788852 The basic idea is as the topic of this thread. You can read the original poster's thoughts for the gist. How many times has the villain stripped the hero of his weapon...

    D&D 4E FR 4E SPOILER - Grand Histoy of the Realms info

    Come on boys and girls. How do you think they're going to explain discarding memorized spells and the vancian thing for 4th ed? Makes perfect sense something like this would happen.

    D&D 3.x Good, plain old 3.5 character sheets!

    Can anyone tell/show me where to find this supposedly simple thing (yet hard for me to find after about 40 mins of googling)... I wants: A near exact duplicate of the basic, generic character sheet found at the back of the PHB, BUT here's the twist... I want to be able to edit it (add text) and...

    D&D 4E 4E - What Rules Need Fixing?

    My post on Wizard's boards... The main/major problems I found with 3.5 and had to house rule out are found below. I'm hoping and praying these issues are cleared up in 4th Ed. I'd written emails and posted on various message boards and had long lengthy debates on many (not all) of the below...

    Area of Effect/Size Printable Templates?

    Hi anyone know if/where there are templates to download such as a nice looking fireball 20 radius cutout and cones etc? I know the DMG has some but I bet there's someone out there that's made cooler looking ones.

    Beholders - All Eyestalks in one round?

    Very nice. That's what I was remembering... I have no idea how I missed that description. I must've been staring too long at the stats and missed the 'details'.

    Beholders - All Eyestalks in one round?

    As the subject. I read the 3.5 description and realized that it doesn't state how many eyestalks can fire their rays in a round. Didn't it used to be 3 per character or something? Did it change or what? It's been a very long while since I used a beholder...
