The only issue you might run into with that setup is venting of the monitor - allowing air to flow around it will help keep it from overheating and potentially lessening the life of the monitor. re: WampusCat43 - I don't know of anything specific that would prevent you from using a plasma in...

Hong, Derren - don't derail this discussion, please.

I prefer the 4 squares to the inch - I also have the booklet with 4sq/1" on one side and 5sq/1" on the other, and don't like it - When I try to line up levels of a dungeon or floors of a building it throws me off.

The female actress rival should have a small lapdog that is constantly at risk of being caught by the Paizo goblins and turned into stew.... more of an opportunity to RP the attempt to teach the goblins how to behave in society than anything else, and good for a few laughs...

This is the thing I think I like most about 4E (and I'm kind of ambivalent about much of it). I think that the current power set is pretty limited and limiting; I also think that we'll begin to see lots of builds and powers in subsequent books, so customizability will increase as we move...

I've read through all of this - I'm sure I've missed a lot, and I'm no math wizard so I will take the tables at face value. One thing I've only seen mentioned once is the "DM's Friend." The Skill Challenge examples show that in certain circumstances the DM may give a +2 to a Skill check based...

If someone else can DM/is willing to DM, what would your current DM's take on it be? One suggestion might be for you to offer to run a short campaign (a half-dozen sessions, maybe) just to let everyone have a chance to see the rules system in action. That might help assuage the current DM's...

Apropos of nothing, in a long ago D&D game, I used the Cthulhu mythos. Being very old-school, if anyone mentioned the name "Cthulhu", there was a 25% chance of the Big Guy noticing, and sending a Deep One to attend to the mentioner's "needs." This first happened to the party while...

I wouldn't use the NPC Gear Value as a gauge of how much value can be extracted from a village or thorp. For the major NPC types, sure - sheriffs, captains of guards, etc. I'd cut it down severely for the great majority of people.

Pong is the one true game. All others are pale imitations of the real thing.

It would depend on the specific situation; for example, in the case of a heavily armored foe you might say "your weapon comes down hard on his shield, and while he holds back the strike, his shield arm still takes the impact of the blow, and he begins to give ground." Each situation will...

IIRC, they'll have "counter" tokens available for free, but they'll be offering fancier virtual mini's for a low price. How low, I don't remember if they said - I seem to recall them saying "micro-transactions" but don't have a cite.

I certainly plan on doing this - I'm undecided on moving to 4E, but I plan on using skill challenges, some version of the dying rules, and possibly the 4E action points. Who knows what else right now.

What, and are there never going to be anymore encounters otherwise?

I agree in many ways it seems that way - I tried statting up a 3rd level Warlock the other day, and each Pact only had one option available to them of each of their powers (only one star pact at-will, encounter, daily, etc - granted they can take powers outside their pact). There are less than...

Last Saturday, matter of fact. Turned out to be vital to our success. Of course, the only reason I had it memorized was because we were supposed to be having an off-day, and my cleric cohort memorizes a standard suite of non-combat spells when he's not expecting a fight.

I don't care for that either - in my games, I've gotten rid of the hereditary lycanthropy, so the only way to get were-d up is to be bitten.

I'm just going to jump in here to ask that everyone try to keep within the rules of ENWorld! We've had a few threads about the piracy of the 4E books, and we've eventually had to close every last one of them, as they tend to dip into the waters of politics, or people's posts get heated, or...

I'm surprised at the amount of reused art in the Monster Manual, but overall the art is very good.

Well, in the professor case, he'd use his History skill. But thats a seperate issue from Craft.
