    D&D 4E New 4e Art!

    Great work, but I have to agree on one thing and point out another. The axe is terrible. I hope that is not the direction they are going. It looks like an axe from the power rangers that can split into five pieces. One good hit, sundered axe. Also the Dwarves beard is not long enough...

    Anyone remember Comeliness?

    We use attractiveness stats in my game, but they are a bit different. Males roll a d6+4 and females roll a d20+20 and a d6. When these scores are needed in game for something, we usually just skip over the male score and drool over the other... I mean when it comes to attractiveness that is...

    Is threat of death a necessary element of D&D?

    I think the threat of death is important. Even more so in the game I run as there is no Raise dead or Resurection. Getting someone back from death is almost a campaign in itself. The reason I do it this was was best said by the halfling Belkar. I will paraphrase. Belkar crashed through...

    What's been your longest break from playing RPGs?

    I have been playing since my freshman year in Highschool. 1987. No break at all. I still play with some of the same people, but the group has changed a lot.

    Tiny creature using spring attack???

    Close but a bit different. You do not proke by entering a square, but by leaving a square. Thus you would provoke from thoes adjacent the square you left. This might be important, as i think if you share a square with a med creature, you receive cover (I am sure other here will tell me if...

    Ugh, I hate monty haulism.

    I have to add that your DM is generous. You had Classes AND races. In the old games, if you were an elf, that was it. No elf fighter or mage. Just an elf. Race or class, make the hard choice.

    Looking for Opinions on various RPG Tools

    DM Genie hands down. I have been using it for a while, and I know a bit about scripting, so I have customized it to do a lot automatically. There are great scripts out there that can handle all kinds of new things. (I just scripted mantles, so that they apply thier effects to character...

    Invisibility and Intimidation

    Guess not. I don't want my players knowing if they do a and b then the outcome will be c. They should think, if I do a and b then the outcome is usually c. Just like us. I know if I say this and that, usually I can get what I want, but sometimes I don't. Then what, how do I deal with it...

    Invisibility and Intimidation

    I dissagree. As the dm, you should be giving bonuses for all kinds of things. You don't have to be consistant, you know the mindset of the NPCS and the history, etc. What scares one might not scare the other, and you don't have to tell the PCs which are which, let them figure it out. It is...

    Faster-Paced Initiative

    Just a personal opinion, but this seems like it would be longer than normal initiative. A lot more to keep track of.

The user uses his single sword to attack and defend, and keeps his second hand open in case he needs to grapple, or...

    Heroes Season 1(#22)---5/14/07-'Landslide'

    I also think that need makes the powers. Mohinder talks about an evolutionary jump, and things evolve out of need. DL was in prison, and needed to get out. Nikki needed to be strong. Micah needed to be smart and do something that would earn money. Nathan needed to fly to get out of there...

    Ever hear a song that makes you think of D&D?

    Metallica - where ever I may roam. Perfect ranger song. Suzanne Vega - the queen and the soldier.
