Never seen one used, never used it. I'm actually surprised that in our 30th-level epic 3.5 game, the summoner wizard didn't try using one. Brad

I think that the 3d was utterly wasted on this (just like most other movies), and I really wish I could've caught it in 2d. But alas, all the theaters showing it in 2d were on the other side of the District, and inconvenient to get to. At least I went to a matinee. I did enjoy it, though it...

I dunno. The present format of the character builder makes it kinda hard to compare feats and items so I can make an informed decision about them. Unless the feat name is incredibly obvious, you have to know what it does to find it easily. Yes, you can click on each one, and then you get an...

And that's why I give my basic attacks to the mul fighter, whose player doesn't question it and rolls to hit and damage fast. If either the oassassin or monk had a good basic attack*, I'd give it to them, too. ...and not to the dragonborn warlock, whose player takes forever and forgets that...

D&D 4e and SR4. Brad

This isn't really a big problem. If the party has (a) a basic-attack-granting leader, and (b) a striker with good basic attacks, then the party gets used to "here, take a melee basic on that guy." It'll take a bit longer in the beginning to process, but once the party's used to being told to...

This would be preferable, yes. My Arcane Power, Divine Power, Primal Power, and Psionic Power are jealous as hell about the loving that Martial Power got from MP2. Why, yes, I'm anthropomorphizing my books, dammit. Or at least put out new builds for the appropriate classes frequently on DDI...

Yay bonus-stacking! As a general rule in 3e systems, same-named bonuses do not stack. Instead, you use the highest bonus of that same type. Like, a racial bonus, a skill bonus, and a luck bonus all stack. Armor bonuses are not ones that stack. If you're looking for a reference, check PF...

And haven't they nuked Greyhawk a few times already, too? Not that I ever saw anything that made Greyhawk a more engaging setting than FR or Birthright or Eberron...but of course that's IMO. Brad

What Rechan said. They're likely going to lose their base of operations and get to enjoy having the townsfolk spit on them, at best. Brad

I liked it, actually. It's very, very fluff-tastic, and I can deal w/o much player stuff in it, even being a player. I think it's a very good setting to use for a party. I'd like something higher-level, though; seriously, I'm so tired of starting out at first level, we never get to see...

I'm surprisingly sneaky in real life, so I enjoy thief-types. But I really like divine classes. It's almost like the Avenger was made for me. Brad

My SR4 game right now is roughly based on the Monster Hunter novels; not only in terms of organization, but they tend to fight a lot of paracritters. That they survived the Force 8 Mantis spirit was pretty cool. Brad

Our DM pulled one of those on us way back in a 3.0 Birthright adventure. The elf awnsheghlien mage died three times in that fight. Brad

As has been said, it's really, really rare to have an earthquake out here that not only can be felt, but actually sways buildings and causes damage, however minor*. They're not unknown, and the possibility is pretty much all along the coast, from New York to Charleston SC. BUT, an earthquake...

True, though V's lack of Conjuration does mean someone has to go get him/her/it. OTOH, that's two members of the Linear Guild down, so odds are even. Brad

Well, V's kinda screwed now. Brad

As much as I hate to say it, yes. They're not *all* the same, but his character type repertoire isn't exactly overflowing with options. OTOH, he's still my favorite author anyway. So he's a good example for the thread. Brad

For thief (and rogue), I'd like to be able to do a decent 2h weapon without multiclassing to spiked chain (though that's nice, too). But that's honestly not a big deal. Brad

The Icewind Dale trilogy and the Homeland quadrology are pretty good. After that it starts going downhill, significantly, until you hit The Spine of the World. Brad
