For those who wield this claim: It is valid if we used a feature-less grid, to know roughly the relative distances between characters, not when using a drawn map, or tiles and stuff that should represent roughly "real" and "acurate" things (that huge 30 ft wide gateway is straight, not curved...

Many of you "1:1:1:1 guys" act like zealots defending this wonky rule. What kind of argument is "stop thinking in feet" or "the NPCs know the rules about squares", I COULD think in squares, but the characters don't know anything about squares or diagonals being equal to the sides, or anything...

Insufficient counter-argument since it could be just valuable Golden Figurines placed on niches in the walls: gab it and run (I'd say it's a free action) What about that? ;)

What he said. The only flaw in 3rd edition's Hit Points in the "Cure x wounds" spells. What wounds do they cure if you are just resisting actual physical damage? But all in all, 4e makes it clearer. Regarding hit points at least.

You go down with to actual damaging blows: The one that makes you bloodied, and the one that leaves you unconscious. Now that's realistic. Every human goes down with one or two hits. (Hit point is not tied with your actual ability to resist damage. It's just a name, like AC. So no big deal)

I be 10 and 8.... It's another game. And I will house rule somethings to return to sanity. I will change, though.

Why would halflings move normaly in heavy armor??? We understand this for Dwarves, because they are experts in warfare and are thick and heavy and stuff. But halflings??? If this it what they are doing is a very gamist feature. I would prefere if halflings moved 6 squares normaly. I'd like that...

I think there are no Small weapons anymore. He uses a shortsword because that's what the biggest weapon he can have one-handed. I think it is a good move. Even if it is a "longsword" among halflings, streamedlined rules say it is a "shortsword".

I agree with you in that killing/looting is the external essence of the game and we like it. But, on the other hand, fom a role-playing perspective, 3e felt more like really enacting my character, with his own abilities and limitatios. Characters felt more real.... I could say "I go through the...

Don't forget he dipped a level in Warlock for a Star pact.... And that he like's Andy Warhol's art :P

Maybe we should get ainatan. He is like the Chose One of diagrams.

I'll miss Breastplates too. a lot. I've always enoyed playing roman-type warriors. I'll miss tower shields too. Good bye to my evil phalanx NPCs.

Oh. Really? Then it is all good... everything but the flashy-naming.... It's getting really, really, REALLY anoying. And old.

On the up-side, though... I have to say that those armors look good. They are more realistic than I spected for this edition... the only thing that looks horrible is the heavy shield (and to a lesser degree, WotC's obsession with armor asymmetry).

I like this game. Here I go: Is there any chance that as a marketing ploy WotC has said that they’re releasing only 8 classes in the PHB but really there will be at least 9?

Well that's true. It will be fun to play, as long as we don't give it a lot of thought. All in all... The point buy system works better with dump stats... For example, if I used the 4d6 roll system, i played paladins or clerics if my scores were high enough.... If I rolled low I had to go with a...

Fair enough. You are right. I think the actual problem is that right now, it doesn't matter is you are quick, as long as you are smart or vice-versa. It is just really weird that a nerdy-smart guy is just as good as dodging things as a quick, flexible guy. I think it is ok to have both Int and...

I began playing in 3.0 and I am a Spanish-speaker, who lives in Peru and the hobby is relatively new here. So here's my question: what does BECMI stand for? :P

Just my 2 cents: I'm really bothered by the ref-int divorse. Would it be better if Reflex was "Dexterity or Wisdom" after all... Perception is based on wisdom, and it is more related to being aware of incoming things. That would leave us with Charisma and Intelligence for Willpower. It is not...

This. We have to see the whole picture here: in a 10 encounter day you roughly use 5 AP and get 5 extra actions in those 10 enconters (lets say its 60 rounds). If you were to use them all (or maybe just 3 AP per encounter, as I suggested) and save them for later, you would have a reward for...
