I'm talking about what's most iconic. Isn't a vampire who's destroyed by sunlight iconic? Isn't a vampire who dies when staked in the heart iconic? If you were to do something like a Jaywalking segment, asking about Vampire weaknesses, what do you think the answers would be? The base vampire...

You don't know, so why not jump to all the wrong conclusions? :uhoh: But if it makes you feel better, it's not related. The Core Pantheon is NOT going to replace the Faerunian Pantheon. Yes, Bane is in it. So what? Tyr is also in the Asgardian Pantheon. Tiamat is in the Greyhawk Pantheon. Oghma...

Rest assured, once you get this game, you'll never write another novel again. But yeah, it's a good game, and VERY solo friendly (Then again, I usually play a Tanker, so that might just be my experience). So you won't have to sit there for half-an-hour looking for a team unless you want to...

Superhuman in comparison to what you were, then. It's always been the case with vampires that the boost in strength is proportionate to your original strength. A small girl turned into a vampire, for instance, isn't as strong as a grown man turned into a vampire. However, that little girls'...

Because they're still mortal. A Commoner turned into a Vampire will become a lot stronger. Likewise, a 10th-level Fighter turned into a Vampire will also become a lot stronger. Is there any reason to think that they wouldn't get stronger? Have you ever seen a case in fiction where someone who...

The Half-Dragon doesn't have centuries of myth behind it saying that when one becomes a Half-Dragon, he goes all in. The vampire does. When someone becomes a vampire, they don't just become a little stronger with a niggling dislike of sunlike, and slowly gain their strength, reflexes, and...

So make vampires equal to elves and humans? Equally silly. A 3rd-level Vampire Fighter is supposed to be vastly tougher then a 3rd-level Human Fighter. And a Prestige Class for Vampire is ridiculous. Vampires don't get their powers incrementally. They get them all at once. An argument can be...

I think the 3.5 vampire sucks. But if the choice is between keeping it as it is, or changing it so that it makes for a better PC, then I vote for keeping it the way it is. That idiotic Slam Attack is vastly preferable to seeing a host of "Children of the Night" (TM) players doing stupid things...

So munchkinism should be encouraged? Put me in the camp that says that vampires should be monsters, only. You want to play a vampire, do it in a White Wolf game. But in D&D, there's way to much payoff in comparison to the penalties. If becoming a Vampire becomes a playable option, then you'll...

I'm still hoping for 12 classes in the PHB. One for each power source, for each role. So a Martial, Arcane, and Divine Defender. A Martial, Arcane, and Divine Leader. A Martial, Arcane, and Divine Striker. And a Martial, Arcane, and Divine Controller.

You wouldn't need to do that to solve the problem. Just make them mature much more quickly. If elves were adults at about the age of 20 rather then 110, then there would be no problem, even if they were to go on to live for 700 years.

Fantastic! I've been hoping for a retraining mechanic in the rules after since PHB2. It's great for when you've played the character for a while, and decide to change direction midstream. God knows I'd be pretty miffed if I were building up towards becoming a Cavalier, and get all the...

I hope so. That'd be cool. The Spellsword is one of my favorite Prestige Classes in the game, so it'd be neat to see a class which is similar to it. Yeah, I thought of that, too. The Bard would make a good Leader choice. The Ranger will likely stay Divine, but one can always hope that he...

True. But I suspect it also came about because there needs to be an explanation as to where all the magic items the PC's find and get rid of go. They're not the only adventurers in the world, after all, so they're not the only ones trying to pawn off a pile of +1 swords. And the average town...

Yeah, that's the way I've viewed it for years. Just because you roll a miss doesn't mean you actually miss. It can also mean that the other guys armor absorbed the blow. For example, how I used to describe it back when I DMed... PLAYER: I'm gonna shoot him with my longbow. What do I need to...

No one was at 'fault', because it wasn't a problem. It was common sense. When marching down a narrow tunnel in single file, it wasn't the Mage who went up front. It was the Fighter. Why? Because if the party stumbled onto a party of Orcs, the Mage wouldn't be able to survive the initial...

Or maybe you don't find other magic swords? There's no need to find new magic swords if the one you have is good enough. That'd certainly eliminate the need to pepper every dungeon, cavern, and grotto with half-a-dozen magical weapons. Eliminate PC's tripping over magic items every time they...

What I'd like to see is a system in which even the most powerful characters have about half-a-dozen magic items AT MOST. The legacy items they came out with are a pretty good dea. IMO, every magic item should be a legacy item. I'd rather see characters get magic items which become more powerful...

I'm just waiting for Age of Conan. That game looks like it's gonna kick every variety of ass known to man, and then some!

Then this shouldn't come as a surprise to you. ;)
