"Welcome to Faerûn, a land of amazing magic, terrifying monsters, ancient ruins, and hidden wonders. The world has changed since the Spell plague, and from this arcane crucible have emerged shining kingdoms, tyrannical empires, mighty heroes, and monster-infested dungeons. The Forgotten Realms...

I think they aren't meant to be dispellable with Dispel Magic. "With these things in mind, we focused our attention on the spells and the prayers that create magical effects that last longer than 1 round. Some of those powers grant bonuses to or impose penalties on a target, but like 1-round...

As someone who voted for the third option, it's more of a "pro-Quality", "pro-Balanced" and "pro-Core" feeling in my case.

I guess we will also have something like Counter Spell Wizard Utility Daily + Arcane, Implement Immediate Interrupt Ranged 10 Target: One creature casting an arcane spell Attack: Intelligence vs. Will Hit: The target's spell fails.

We always needed dice Then we needed grid and minis Now we need beads and buttons too

Didn't you get the memo?

I don't know how to create cool haikus

I have a very charismatic and well-spoken friend. When we were younger, it was a lot easier to convince girls to go out with us when he was around. What you described was exactly the kind of behaviour he had in those situations. But in my friend's case, his bonus would be to Bluff instead of...

Yesterday a mosquito shifted me when it tried to land on my eyes. The little bastard drove me mad. I've seen a rat shifting an elephant once.

So, WOTC should make their business decisions based on what?

WOTC doesn't need Open Gaming. WOTC doesn't need Spycraft. WOTC doesn't need SRD 3.5 Pocket Book. WOTC doesn't need 3PP releasing non-D&D books to open the falacious "doorway to RPG". OGL doesn't hurt WOTC sales, but WOTC doesn't need it. WOTC needs a strong and trustful base of competent 3rd...

Do we need a Rule 0 in order to have a Rule 0?

One of the problems most people face when thinking about playing D&D in ME is the magic system. Even Tolkien scholars can't agree about ME's magic. The good part for us players and DMs who wish to play in the 3rd Age of ME is that we don't need to care about that. And now with 4E, we need to...

Since we can accept 1-1-1-1 diagonal movement, firecubes and much more, what about ruling that dead bodies just vanish? Leaving their treasures behind of course...;)

No. I was just answering Hussar when he said: "The point of marketing is to get product awareness out there." I do think that's the point of marketing, and that's why I believe WOTC is doing a poor job so far, since everyone I know that doesn't have an internet life has no idea about 4E; a lot...

Yes! But does it have really anything to do with open gaming? What's "open" if one company controls the license? If the OG movement is at check because of one company's decision, if one company controls and gives itself the rights to change it, is OGL really "open" gaming? If only one company...

Your point says it all. WOTC should change the license to get rid of all situations that don't benefit them and may actually hurt their business. If for some reason we all come to agree that any kind of open gaming is bad for WOTC business, I'm pretty sure you would keep the logic of your...

I'm not disputing that. I only believe they will simply do what is best for their business. It's a business issue, not a philosophical one. There is no reason to boycott a company that made a decision for its best interests, right? Anyway, I don't know how M&M or Spycraft benefits WOTC...

"we" who? The players? So Wotc pays tribute to me with open gaming? How? I don't even care about most 3rd party produtcs. I believe WOTC "pays a tribute" to me by selling me great products. And that's why I think WOTC has been so successful, because they make quality products I've never seen...
