Yup.

:staredown:

Why do you ask? Are you suggesting that 4e doesn't require the same level of system mastery as 3e? You can paint an entire army of miniatures with a standard #1 brush (and I have) but I certainly appreciate having that #00 in there for painting my army commanders. I might even get crazy and...

Well, I'm not sure I am following Bryon's premise to the same conclusion, but I certainly understand his point and feel no need to misrepresent it. I would like to make a tangential comment about people who have the intelligence to model complex global climate patterns but don't have the sense...

For varying degrees of "by the rules," yes: it's trivial. Knowing the druid's statblock down to the last skill point is slavish devotion to "by the rules," but you will not see a return on that investment in effort. Switching to 4e is certainly one solution. It's not the most obvious...

Hmm. What if the people saying it are on the design, development, and marketing teams for 4e?

Don't let your players (a) bob and weave and/or (b) use the Withdraw action to end up closer to the enemy than they started. In other words, make sure they're actually withdrawing.

Much appreciated. Kinda like a spider? Perhaps a very chitinous spider (with extra natural armor)? Perhaps a very dexterous or strong spider? Maybe it's a tree-climbing lizard with a poisonous bite? Maybe it's a bizarre poisonous ape. Are you suggesting that somewhere in the vast panoply...

We've made quite a few clarifications and changes since the first release (and we'll be updating the PDF with these changes soon). Withdraw Withdrawing from melee combat is a full-round action. When you withdraw, you can move up to double your speed. When withdrawing, you can move out of the...

I have just one more thing to say: In my life I have entered all sorts of competitions, both physical and mental, rational and creative. I have found that Iron DM is almost unique in its ability to engender both an intense desire to win as well as the inescapable conclusion that losing is a...

holy crap! I came here first, before the judgment... let me take a look and come back for the mutual backslappin'... Ok. Everything sblocked in case judges or others don't want to see it: This is key for me: I think this is a very apt observation. I was very aware that the Holy Avenger was...

Whatchutalkin' about? Anything 3e is ready to roll. Anything by Necromancer Games is perfect for Trailblazer, considering that you'll need all the help you can get to survive the typical NG offering. :devil: If you have some specific conversion concerns, come on over to our forum and let me...

Hmm... You could if it were tagged with the [sonic] descriptor (which it probably should be). Special Abilities :: d20srd.org It should also be caster-level dependent, not HD dependent. Any spell that is not caster-level dependent, rather than HD dependent, is necessarily going to be skewed...

The capriciousness of the judging is directly proportional to the nemmerlesquality of the judge.

Sblocked so as not to influence judging with commentary-- judges don't look. In my experience it is usually the paladin's party who ends up causing his fall from grace, and so I figure they are equally unlikely to volunteer to help him out of a jam. But then, I game with a bunch of a-holes...

I noticed that too. I don't really do too much of that myself (that I can consciously recall). I was actually hoping to see a Nifft judgment, as it would (I believe) be unprecedented thus far. Hee hee... I wonder if you could work it into some kind of prisoner's dilemma format? The...

Ditto for me, in converse. I had a rehearsal the first night and free time last night. But I still wish I had more time because... these things are brutal. Just remember: It's better to lose with honor than to flake out and quit. No matter what, at least get your ass across the finish line...

I apologize for forgetting some of the formatting niceties-- it's been years.

Seems like asking Clark to engage in a bit of needless stirring of the :):):):) if you ask me.
