Klaus, I think the importance of this distinction is that in 3.5e, the design paradigm was to create a universal set of rules that applied to all entities. While you are absolutely correct that you can get to the same location, the process of getting there involves either the limits of the...

Was Ray of Frost at will for the wizard? --G

GNS Theory is an attempt to apply the methods of critical literature theory to Role Playing Games. It is a theoretical framework intended to stimulate scholarly discussion. It is not a good tool for reviewing role playing games or for determining whether a given product is a "good" role...

Except that the onus is on the player to devise a legitimate and believable reason for the skill to be useful under the circumstances, rather than on the DM to come up with a excuses for PCs to use their skills in the game. --G

I'm sure you will. That's an example of a self-fulfilling prophecy. I believe that it's still the DM's job to look at the proposed skill use and determine whether the suggested resolution has anything to do with the challenge at hand. I believe that the DM can still adjust the DC to reflect...

Except that in 4e, _all_ your skills go up as you level. So even if you've only focused in 4 skills, you'll still have a non-sucky chance of pulling things off with your untrained skills (though maybe not as great as with your trained skills). As a result, the PCs are automatically diversified...

That's a dangerous habit. --G

*Wipes coffee from monitor* I am firmly in the HP=luck,stamina, discipline camp. But this delivers the win. --G

3e, 3.5e, probably 4e. --G

he3, There's one other possibility you haven't accounted for in relation to the glitch slipping through. It's entirely possible that the delve adventures were written two and a half months ago, when the paladin's ability was still broken. Then, the bug was discovered and fixed for...

You may have to draw your own map, but you don't need to draw your own battlemat! http://www.chessex.com/mats/Battlemats_MegamatsReversible.htm And this should make drawing the maps easier! http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/hexagonal/ --G

Derren-- Assume the following is true: every time you experience a loss of consciousness (be it from blunt trauma to your cranium or from blood loss), you suffer some degree of brain damage. How has D&D ever modeled that? Especially given the fact that subsequent losses of consciousness tend...

Why are there no good dragons in DoE? --G

Since editing hasn't been completed yet? :D --G

1) Not generally. We only account for tactical movement (i.e., when in combat). 2) Only what they can see (or have recently seen). 3) Option B. 4) You are correct. --G

I think it's half and half. From what we've heard, wizards can learn new rituals (rather than spells) from other people's spell books. Rituals have taken over a lot of the non-combat utility spells. --G

So you're voting for metric then, right? I kid, I kid. --G

Actually, from a practical usability standpoint, the imperial system has some things going for it. Have you ever had to measure out a third of a meter? Let me tell you, it's much easier to measure a third of a foot (4 inches). Since the imperial system (for lengths anyway) comes back to base...

Thanks, that's a class move. --G
