Hmm, okay, I'm starting to come around a bit. The fact that "An item bonus" is added after multiplying got me thinking a bit. I'd still like to see something official, but it makes a lot more sense with a static +1 now. I'm sorry if I came out a bit offensive (?), but when something is...

1) The Mearls quote and my opinion didn't correlate. I simply posted that for info. 2) WHERE does it clearly, directly and specifically say, with multiple examples, that the +1 is not multiplied? Instances of [W] in the PHB: PHB 57, no mention of versatile. Power Chapter... nope, not there...

Link. Personally, I think the +1 getting multiplied is correct. Either way, it's a swing of 4, maybe 5 damage, later on. Not much to be worried about. Edit: My first ninja! Noooo.

BoH is 1,000g while Triple-H is 5,000g. I don't think Rituals will see much use at my table. Cost and time required are a bit steep for my players' tastes. 10 minutes (and material costs) to find a secret door that probably isn't there... I'm actually trying to think of a way to decrease...

I think the prices are actually pretty good. For Heroic tier, you have to sell a Level 7 item to ressurect someone. For Paragon tier, you have to sell a Level 15 item. For Epic tier, you have to sell a Level 22 item. Any more expensive and resurrections would be far and fewer between, which...

You can't make OA's on your own turn, assuming that's what you're talking about.

Karma and pre-order or not, downloading the books still violates Copyright laws. Additionally, you can't even plea "fair use for backup purposes" because no one has technically bought the books. Downloaders be beware. Wizards/Hasbro can send a DMCA to your ISP about downloading these if they...

Congratulations, you've discovered the Charging OA conundrum. It is plaguing as all. :) In short: No one knows 100% yet. My say: It's been confirmed by a Dev somewhere, that the only things that cause OAs are Movement through or out of a threatened square and Ranged/Area attacks. Seeing as...

Don't have any concrete info, but I suspect you're probably right. D&D is a very state-orientated game. You're either in a square, or not. There's no 'between' squares. As for problems with house-ruling, I don't foresee any major implications or problems. At most, the fighter gets slightly...

My current plan is to get a set of poker chips ($20 w/o a case) and paint them different colors as needed.

Possible, but wrong I think. The original casting (minor action) allows the hand to move 5 squares and manipulate an object. Anything after that requires additional actions and sustaining. The reason for this is how the power is written. It has the initial effects first, then additional...

If nothing else, you could pull out the ultimate "Cool Off" for casters: Anti-Magic Fields! Just be careful. This would probably work for one encounter without too many problems, but repeats just cause grief for the players. So I'd save this one for an encounter you just really want to happen.

The problem with a class using explosives: It's a lot easier to go nova. "Okay, the boss is in there, right? I strap all my explosives to my back. When I run up to the boss, cast the biggest fireball you got. Stand back, cause it's gonna be a lot bigger! For <Insert Deity Here>!" Small...

Your post is a lot more negative than his. :\ He was just pointing out what WotC has said about there not being a grid.

The biggest argument against being able to pick any skill would be Arcana. Any class being able to use this skill changes the world a bit. It would assume that absolutely anyone would be able to detect something magical and figure out its properties. Other than that, I agree with you from a...

http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=981253 Location ideas. Most of them got me thinking a lot.

I'm planning on using this the next game I get started up. I like the idea, but it'll be up to the whether the player's like it.

Only one I know off hand is Jaebrin from MM5. They also get a +2 racial bonus to bluff. :cool: They seem a bit powerful for only a +1 LA...*shrug*

Welcome to high-level D&D. Where the characters rules the world and rules start to break down. That aside, increasing the DCs will only delay the inevitable and probably anger someone. If you want to make tumble a little less powerful, make it an opposed roll somehow. Maybe tumble check vs a...

Why, oh why, would they keep half-elves in? It's a weak race mechanically and spiritually. For me, it's worse than a half-dragon, because half-dragons actually have some sort of claim to uniqueness. Half-elves just seem pouty. "Oh, I don't belong anywhere, so all I have is this nifty +2 to...
