  1. The Little Raven

    How do Wizards cast Spells?

    I would simply bind and blindfold the party. They would be Restrained and Blinded, suffering a total -7 penalty to attack, granting combat advantage, and unable to move or flank. They lack line of sight to anything, so they can't teleport or use any other LoS-requiring powers. Then, if they can...

    Dungeon World (Gamma World + Fantasy)!

    Oh, I must have missed that. Well, then, 20s all around!

    Dungeon World (Gamma World + Fantasy)!

    Right. I'm using GW's balance, which assumes an 18 in the primary, 16 in the secondary. Giving people an extra +1 to attack/damage might upset some things, and I don't see a reason to do that.

    Dungeon World (Gamma World + Fantasy)!

    I've been working on something similar, but geared towards a d20 Modern/Action Movie game. The origins are replaced with an archetype (Strong, Fast, Smart, Dedicated, Charismatic, Tough) and a class (soldier, gunslinger, martial artist, brawler, investigator, etc). Every PC has one archetype...

    Essentials multiclassing

    Perhaps. Perhaps not. The multiclassing rules may apply only to the 5 classes/builds in the book, but it may also apply to Essentials classes given that they are also putting in the ability for non-Essentials classes to swap for Essentials features (and vice versa).

    So, how many are avoiding Essentials?

    Heroes of the Fallen Lands Warpriest (Cleric) Knight (Fighter) Slayer (Fighter; Striker) Thief (Rogue) Mage (Wizard) Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms Hexblade (Warlock) Hunter (Ranger; Controller) Scout (Ranger) Cavalier (Paladin) Sentinel (Druid; Leader) Dragon Magazine Executioner (Assassin)...

    Grab and ends/ignores Immobilized

    The Grab action stipulates they have to be within your melee reach to grab, and if you move away (and don't pull them) you end the grab, or if a push/pull/slide moves them or you out of your melee reach, you end the grab. It doesn't say explicitly about people being immune to immobilized and...

    DDI VT Beta thread

    Would you say that the dungeon tiles reflect the recent Master Set? I'm curious as to whether my back library of Dungeon Tiles would make switching between VT and normal TT more difficult. Also, it looks like the tokens in the screenshots are from the DM's Kit. Do you know if there are any from...

    D&D 4E 4e/Essentials compatibility?

    People use "compatible" in a way that shows they mean "interchangeable." The classes are 100% compatible, in that they can exist together in harmony. They do not have 100% interchangeable features, in that features cannot always be used in place of others.

    Opportunity Attack Limit?

    That is true, but as stated OAs are not free actions. Free actions cover the bonus attacks from warlords and other powers that grant attacks as free actions.

    The biggest issue with the new Character Builder:

    Me, too. I've got a reputation as an edition warrior. I often give WotC more slack in software matters due to personal experience as a software developer. However, slack goes only so far, and the state of the CB at release goes well beyond the slack I can give. If it were my company putting out...

    Unhappy about the VT Announcement.

    I suspect they announced the VT in response to the bungled launch of the CB in order to let people know that a nigh-mythical tool announced 3 years ago would finally see the light of day, since it's the number one example of how they mismanaged the DDI launch. I agree that we'll probably see the...
  13. The Little Raven

    The biggest issue with the new Character Builder:

    I have developed software for a living, and I am normally much more forgiving than the armchair experts you are talking about. I am severely displeased with the Character Builder. It has a lot of potential, I will admit, but in its current form, it is a dozen kinds of failure. Good thing for...

    City tiles master set printing problems?

    Sounds like you got a rogue set. My friend picked up two copies and his are just fine. No color difference with my Streets of Shadow tiles. You might want to contact Wizards' customer service about it, too.

    D&D 4E 4e D&D Plays Like a Video Game, and That's Awesome

    Taking properties in-house is working out pretty well for Marvel. The Incredible Hulk (with Edward Norton) and Iron Man were the first in their new MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), and it's practically a license for them to print money.

    New Character Builder from WotC!

    Sharing is an outright violation.
  18. The Little Raven

    Excellent point on WotC mishandling

    1. Choose Race 2. Choose Class 3. Determine Ability Scores 4. Choose Skills 5. Select Feats 6. Choose Powers 7. Choose Equipment 8. Fill in the Numbers 9. Roleplaying Character Details All of these steps are in both Essentials and pre-Essentials 4e. Character creation is identical. The only...

    November 16th release for Web-based Character Builder

    There will be an import feature from the get-go, they say, but the export feature will come in an early update. From what I understand, it will be the same format as the current CB.
