    CB updating dragon articles

    Fortunately, It's pretty easy to 'fake it' when it comes to spiked chain mastery (at least, until you get to 4th level). I just gave my shadar-kai fighter SWP(spiked chain) and two daggers, and remember to double the d4s where appropriate.

    [Fiery Dragon] Counter Collection and BattleBox 4e now available

    Bought the Bundle yesterday, and as jeph said, there wan't a $12 shipping charge. Klaus, those counters had better be worth it. I had to spend 3 hours on the phone with paypal and my bank to get that transaction to process.

    [Fiery Dragon] Counter Collection and BattleBox 4e now available

    I really want to get this, and the Battle Box. Is the latter coming out soon enough that I should order them both at the same time?

    D&D 4E Where can I find a good 4e character builder program?

    Not strictly true. I'm typing this on a desktop that I've dragged into my living room because I'm too cheap to afford a desktop (and to lazy to have dragged it back after last nights game.) As for OP: You'll have some luck with form-fillable PDFs and Spreadsheet character sheets, but you're...

    Siege at Bodrin's Watch DM question *potential spoilers*

    Continuity does get better as the modules progress. That said, I'd definitely recommend reading them all now, rather than just before you plan to run them--You can give yourself additional opportunities to forshadow future developments, portray fleetingly mentioned characters and locations with...

    I'm an archer: why shouldn't I be a beast master ranger?

    What if you take a raptor companion and just use it as a spotter. Since you can quarry off your beast companion, you can just send your hawk up out of weapon range and use it to quarry targets. You're giving up defensive mobility and prime shot for the ability to quarry any target without...

    On the matter of half-orcs

    But Raven, Who's arguing that half-orcs are bad? I'm only saying that "It's bad that half-orcs have rape strongly implied in their backstory". And however you personally think of them, tieflings simply don't have that same kind of backstory implication--certainly not in 4e where tieflings...

    PHB2 Excerpt: Racial Paragon Paths

    But that's something they can do anyway. Why would there be a feat?

    Does 4e limit the scope of campaigns?

    I think you're underselling a particularly important part of 4e that's really benificial to an investigative-style adventure: It handles a low-combat game much better, in terms of resource management, than any other edition of the game. With the separation of powers into daily and per...

    D20 - Most Aesthetically Pleasing Die

    Boo. While it's true that the antiprism duals aren't that evocative, I harshly disagree with limiting ourselves to the platonic solids. The Catalan Solids are just as cool, and give us more interesting numbers to work with. d24s? d30s? d12s with rhombus shaped faces? what's not to love?

    On the matter of half-orcs

    Well, It's been pretty strongly implied that she was half-draenei since WC2's timeline retcon that made it impossible for her to be half-human. But since draenei went from looking like humans to looking like this, that explanation's becoming increasingly nonsensical for someone who looks as...

    D20 - Most Aesthetically Pleasing Die

    d12's not bad, but I still want one based on the rhombic dodecahedron.

    New Necromantic powers

    I have to say, I'm not particularly impressed with Animate Dead. The creature it creates is so... Generic.

    Compendium Update! And not just data either!

    More like 90%. But not all of them paid too much for iPones specifically.

    On the matter of half-orcs

    As long as they're a product of a consensual relationship, I don't really care if it's a loving one. And I don't think anyone on this thread is actually arguing against Half-Orcs as a playable race. We're arguing against the explicit or implicit inclusion of rape in the half-orc origin story...

    Demogorgon: Lame or Awesome?

    My thoughts: 1) Demogorgon is great--he's visually unique and a great exemplar of the destructive nature of Demons in 4e. 2) That MM2 picture is really, really bad. Those mandrill heads should be much more feral looking and much less orange. As is, he manages to look like a cartoon...

    Paragon Tier Fey adventure ideas

    Ultra Rumplestiltskin--The queen of a kingdom achieved her position by promising her firstborn to an evil fey. Now that she has born a son, the fey has returned for his payment--But he'll let the king keep his kid as long as he's willing to <invade a neighboring country/allow the fey to take...

    On the matter of half-orcs

    That's Garona, of WarCraft fame. IIRC someone at Blizzard made that model for WarCraft III when they needed some cheesecake for a magazine cover (though the character doesn't actually appear in that game--she's from WC1). It should be noted that Garona is a half-orc. (Though what the other...

    Compendium Update! And not just data either!

    Bahahahaha. Sure. It's not as big as the subset of gamers that own dice, but it's still a pretty impressive percent. (That said, I don't own an iPhone, so I favor other efforts that benefit me personally. This compendium thing seems pretty cool. I'm a little bit scared about their popup...
