    except it's not, unless of course a camapign was set in some sort of mirror-universe...that'd be cool.

    D&D 3.x If 3.5 was so good...

    It doens't have to take 8 hours to mop up a big group of foes. But why not roast a tribe of orce with a few fireballs and the barbaian wipes out a whole group sneaking in on a flank? Why not have high level character kick the snot out of foes because the charcetr are in fact clearly superior...

    Overuse of monsters and magic.

    Did everyone subdue their own dragon? Did they buy them at Dragons R-Us? Or did the DM drop the ball forgettign that dragons are scheming, selfish and powerful creatures. That dragon mount should be expensive and dangerous. normal folks shouldn't treat them like they are normal...how relaxed...

    No Macs? Holy crap did WotC do the math wrong!

    Final assembly happens in the U.S. (or Ireland for the euro market) and yuo can actually get them repaired in the u.s. instead of having to ship them to taiwan or india to keep your manufacturers warranty.

    What Should Be Done With Psionics?

    Not really. "Same as magic" is a common treatment of psionics in the current rules and works fine for many. I like the "different from magic" style myself only because i like some sort of achille's heel in the powerful, even if it is a simple as -> "crud i didn't have a dispel psionics spell"

    Rezzing

    Increase the penalties and difficulties of casting the spells on the caster and the stiff. If that raise dead spell cost the caster 1 (or more) point of CON until they next levelled up, they might not cast it very freely. It's not permanent but it's still a drain. The raised person should...

    The death of bonus stacking?

    How about just the ability bonus being impacted and not the actual score? +1 STR bonus, meaning +1 to any strength related roll but the scores remains unchanged for any short term buff.

    The death of bonus stacking?

    I see no problem with Bonus stacking of named bonuses. one of each works fine. The only real problem is book keeping. hmmm... maybe some sort of computer use is how WOTC sees folks handling all the book keeping? Now if we want to keep the number scores down maybe something like best 3 or 5...

    systems with Armor as DR: thoughts on Defense penalty?

    Remove armor proffs as freebies for all classes where they have them, require folks to spend feats on them. Make armor more expensive, a LOT more expensive. In the real world a fully armroed medieval warriro was an economic impact not unlike a Tank. armro fell out of use when firearms became...

    No Macs? Holy crap did WotC do the math wrong!

    I don't have any problem finding Mac software. apple has it for sale right ontheir website and there are several other very easy to locate websites for mac software also. There are far less second rate NWN,doom and halo knock-offs available however. Of course this morning i was playing a DOS...

    D&D 4E Should hit points continue to be generated randomly in 4e?

    hit points represent luck and divine favor not just endurance...part of the "abstract" nature of D&D. rolling for those HP factor in "luck" which no one generally labels as consistent or fixed. I've played in D&D games and near D&D games where we rerolled all hitdice each level. i know moldly...
