    No 4th ed D&D computer game...why? :(

    I think they are focusing their efforts into DDI. Hopefully it comes out better than pools of radiance, and the character creation software originally packaged with 3rd edition.

    The Controller Role Doesn't Exist

    Now you could open up your PHB and go down every spell in the wizard's arsenal and gasp: That's a defender power! That's a striker power! That's a leader power! and frown and fuss that wizards have Web, Prismatic Ray, and Heroism. I think the main idea of the Controller is that he changes...

    Dark Sun

    You might be right... But I think it could work if the designers allowed themselves to put out a setting that excludes certain content, and reimagines others. I think that is probably the major reason why they refused to support Athas in 3rd: editors refused to bother with any setting that...

    No small weapons - I'm okay with this

    Is it just me or does it imply that small characters can use any one handed weapon just fine? Without modification? Now if the small property can be applied to things that aren't normally small (like a longbow, for example) we will be in business. But even then, I will happily wave goodbye to...

    D&D 4E Point buy, 4e & you.

    I like the weighted point buy system. I think the reason they use it should be pretty clear.

    D&D 4E Will the 4E classes be deliberately unbalanced to get players to read?

    Wow. While I knew Toughness was a lame feat, and the rule books warned that not all feats were created equal, I always attributed them to things like character specialization, and limiting what feats can be expected to do (like toughness) I didn't know it was about "rules mastery". ugh. I...

    D&D 4E Are 4E Paladins and Clerics MAD?

    I'm :Do glad that I am not the only one who noticed that. :Duper!

    Intimidate, or "whoops I wasted my skill points"

    I think there should be limits to how useful social skills can be used in various social situations. There is a time and place for diplomacy, and a time and place for intimidation. Suppose someone is at 1 hp and in the mouth of the villain's Rancor. Intimidating the villain is NOT going to...

    Excerpt: Racial Benefits

    Did you happen to catch the part about how that feat works on any creature size Large or bigger? Definitely feat-worthy.

    D&D 4E Weird & Wacky Stuff You Want in 4e

    how about squarks? Maybe this time they can be native to the astral sea...

    Monsters are more than their stats

    I would have to disagree with the OP. I really don't see how anything has changed that would make his scenario possible in 3e, but impossible in 4e. Either way, you are giving the succubus powers that she normally wouldn't have in order to create the plot you want to run.

    D&D 4E New 4E attack icon smilies

    good idea. I've always wondered why the white wolf forums didn't have a dot smiley.

    D&D 4E Dark Sun Conversion to 4E

    personally, I would prefer dragonborn taking the place of Pterrans, rather than half-giants.

    Explicit use of Rules Elements in the Campaign

    I'm not sure what edition it was, but one of the older ones required levels in druid in order to take a level in bard... which made me wonder why that association would exist. well, here's a thought. You have the whole druid "nation" which guards the wilderness, headed by the archdruid and...

    Help me out. PoL. Why don't small towns get overrun?

    I think part of the point of the POL setting is that maps and political boundaries are irrelevant. Towns, settlements, and villages are being overrun constantly. Kingdoms only last as long as they can fight back the encroaching darkness, and their area of influence is only as far as their...

    D&D 4E 4e: the new paradigm

    Well, what if everything before bloodied consists of morale, bumps, bruises, scrapes, and physical exhaustion, and bloodied means that you have actually gotten to the point where injury has taken place? Like the action movie hero with cuts in his cheek, bruises, he's been knocked down a couple...

    D&D 4E 4e: the new paradigm

    I feel that the rules are improving, and in order to improve they must change, and that change sometimes means that we have to look at things in a new way. In the transition between 2nd edition and 3rd edition, one of the hard changes to the paradigm was the acceptance of any race to any class...

    D&D 4E Looks like 4e's combat is closer, and I LIKE it!!

    Yards per second doesn't mean much to me... 1 mile =1760 yards 70 yards per sec = 4200 yards/minute = 252000 yards/hour = 143.18 mph. That's pretty damn fast. But I do doubt that arrows can maintain that speed for very long. I am no physics student, and I don't know how much air...
