Additionally, their search function is next to useless. Now that they have hidden all the previous content, there is no simple list of articles, either. I can understand the need to "shelter" new players from previous versions to avoid confusion, but at some point the obfuscation is ridiculous.

I used to be a defender of WotC, but they have gotten ridiculous. Their new website has to be one of the worst designed ones I've seen in a while. Can anyone tell me where the old 4E tools are?

Here's what we're rolling: The character is a golem made by the High Druid, but is also the last golem anyone was able to make. The character is a goblin librarian that marks books with his snot. (The gooey-decimal system.) The character is a mage that believes, and evangelizes, that magic...

Yes. One starts here: http://www2.kisw.com/listen/bj-sheas-geek-nation-13th-age-part-1 There is at least one sequel to that adventure as well.

Thanks for that. It's nice to see some numbers in context. (And, what blew me away and you pointed out later, those numbers don't even include Christmas.)

In the study of science, one comes across something called "selection bias". The internet has a way of magnifying the views of the fringe. There are people who are not listened to because their opinions are presented in a manner that is demonstrable of their unreasonableness. The internet loves...

I'm not familiar with either of those questions.

I keep seeing arguments made like this about 4E classes, arguments that ignore all the powers that the particular class has.

In a recent D&D Encounters encounter, the PCs kept a monster from coordinating its attacks with itself. They kept two kanks from maintaining a hold from one round to the next. Monster coordination should be lethal, because it's not going to succeed very often.

I've looked at a lot of D&D sources and played every edition from the Red Box on (as well as a wide variety of other RPGs). A great deal of DM resources and house rules often went into keeping PCs alive or to resurrecting them. In 4E, players are welcome to embrace house rules that go the other...

That power increases your melee touch attacks, not your melee 1 attacks. Not so useful.

But it also still has the ability to pull an opponent.

Here's the basics: 1. Don;t expose them to bright light, especially sunlight. 2. Don't let them get wet. 3. The most important rule is that no matter how much they beg or cry; they must never, ever be fed after midnight.

Will is almost always the easiest to hit. In play, I tend to find Fortitude to be the toughest to hit, but that might be because of the monsters that my groups like to fight, the monsters I like to use as a DM, and because of the monsters that my main PC (a defender) tends to fight. As a monk...

Versatile expertise might be gilding the lily. Check to see what defenses your powers target. You are down in your main stat relative to other characters, but what you target might compensate for that.

This is an implement power, so the weapoin used doesn't matter. It has a range of 5 and it can be used without provoking an attack of opportunity. Great.

Phantom Steed has been useful to us in combat. It gives a few rounds of extra movement. Since we usually rely on the steeds for overland movement, however, we tend to keep them out of combat.

I love this thing.

Tharizdun is so good at his portfolio of desctruction that he destroyed his 4E presence. Many of the 4E articles that used to exist simply ceased to be. And for the rest of them, he destroyed his 4E image by including the bound-by-Lolth thing.

These classes will get additional builds as well. There will also be some new feats and different takes on some of the races included in the line.
