But everyone now works off of powers, these powers use a to hit roll stat + d20 roll + bonuses. The bonus' seem to differenciate between the value of AC and defense values and the attacking of different ACs/defenses giving different classes better targets. All classes seem to be able to...

Just hope to heck that a stray arrow doesn't hit the minion boat ;) I just waded my way through all the posts over a couple of days, unfortunately i don't have anything to add as i can see where both sides are coming from, it adds a new aspect to the core rules which means you can have heroes...

As pointed out by other people rituals seem to have skill requirements and cost requirements and don't seem to be combat orientated (from what we can gather) so it wouldn't be optimising a character, more optimising the party's options. I think the whole ritual idea gives rise to the idea of...

Isn't this question solved by a few word changes. Change Paladin to Crusader Make a LG Crusader a Paladin. Refer the player of a Paladin to the D&D xED version of Paladin Code of Conduct (If this isn't in the PHB). Solved, not that painful was it?

Interesting idea, so the PC's experience in combat doesn't help them avoid attacks or find openings in their opponents defences, its just the magic items that they find that help them at all? So apart from a few fancy manouvers and more hp, they are as "skillful" as bob the peasant tm. Its...

But he wasn't suggesting you would send minion to kidnapp a princess, Voss was, drothgery was just giving an example of how it could be explained. I'm quite sure that the sensible solution is that the Evil Priest Bob of High Bobbyness instead sends out a sneaky lurker to kidnapp her, a minion...

Why can't a functional, believable world cope with minions? A)If a PC isn't around do minions exist? If a hero turns up, *wham* the monster's head falls off, the PCs are heroic. B)Just because Evil Priest Bob send down a minion doesn't mean it has to have the minion keyword. C)Until or if...

Lets see, well that would have been last week, as long as the flaws are hidden the game can be fun, but to me it seems like 3.x ed needed both players and dm to try to hide the flaws. Players need to build characters that are around equivalant in power if they want an equal share of the killing...

Any and all classes, the characters are split into roles, I'd explain to the player/s what each of those roles entails and ask them which one do they fancy doing? Then I'd say well these classes can carry out this role this one is a holy warrior from the gods this other one uses brute force and...

Whoa, well the poll does indeed show that its a bad idea in peoples eyes. The idea was not to withhold the PHB for anymore than 10-20 mins when first genning characters, I think what I want will happen anyway AND I will let them look through the whole players handbook. All i'd have to do is...

Well i intend on letting them take anything in the PHB, so nothing to be excluded, i'm playing the setting vanilla style till the player's characters spark off ideas for me. As I said I plan on the PHB being unavailable only for the choosing a race and class and they are all very familiar with...

Well I've been reading this forum for the past few weeks now and I'm getting quite excited about 4th ED, I'm intending on running the published modules/adventures as the only other game I ran was a homebrew setting and I don't intend on putting that amount of hours into a setting again. So to...

Lets see a few options for you Let magic only target creatures, say that magic needs "blah life force blah excuse" to target things, then your wizard has x number of choices instead of all the grids on the battle field. Don't use a battle grid, then get the player to place the fireball and use...

Thats all quite frankly mad, its a roleplaying game, you are meant to roleplay anything that is in character well er in character, else you are playing... Yes of course you try and make sure everyone has got a fair portion of the loot, its an unspoken rule in the circle i play in, but as a...

short time lurker, finally posts The first time i ever picked up a D&D rulebook and saw the monk class, all i thought about was Friar Tuck, especially as the version i was reading had all these weight limits the monk could grapple, i was imagining it as Tuck bear hugging people into the ground...
