I actually saw psionics more or less like that too. I also see what Wizards do as the same sort of thing in essence; in their case, using intensive techniques learned through laborious study for manipulating fundamental universal energies. To me, Wizards are similar to quantum physicists who are...

I personally love the "psionic magic" stuff. It was always weird to me that when a cleric, wizard or druid set you on fire with his eyes it was magical but when a psion did, it wasn't for some reason. Gods, ambient mystical energy and lifeblood of the earth are magic. Psychic phenomena, well...

To make existing solos truly as dangerous as 5 monsters of their level, most would have to be almost completely rewritten. While this is a laudable goal, I simply dont have the free time to do this. As a quick-and-dirty solution for the campaign that I DM, I am reducing their hit points and XP...

I don't see why they couldn't just up the damage and lower the HP of the MM1 creatures in an errata document, and then when they reprint the MM, reprint it with errata. That would probably be a great scenario for both the fans and for WotC. People who don't want to buy another MM would have the...

Is it just me, or are the new monsters a bit nastier than the ones we have so far? If so, awesome. Most the monsters in the MM, Draconomicon and Open Grave are seriously wussy.

I have thought for some time that a new cartoon series is the best first step toward getting D&D back into mass media. I think that the horrific failure of the two movies has made the brand poison in Hollywood, such that getting that dream staff of writers, actors, director, etc is going to be...

I am going to have to start shouting this from the rooftops. People, for the love of Crom, if you want to play a Conan-style non-magical furious barbarian, play a Battlerage Vigor Fighter. It perfectly models that sort of character. That the D&D Barbarian is overtly magical is not a bad thing...

That game sounds freaking hilarious. Seriously, that must have been really fun.

I think you'll find that some of those (or the principles behind them anyway) apply in nearly every adventure. Any assault, if aborted, is going to have negative consequences when it resumes. Reinforcements have been called in, or the bad guys took the good stuff and absconded, or ambushes have...

Sweet Zombie Jesus, somebody is once again prattling on about how there is no reason not to rest after every fight! I guess I'll explain D&D again. REASONS NOT TO REST AFTER EVERY ENCOUNTER 1) The cultists will complete their ritual at the stroke of midnight. They must be stopped before then...

Thanks so much for posting that. I really appreciate it. That looks pretty weaksauce compared to Legion's Hold or whatever the ice one is called. If the target double moves or runs (or both) it can easily get out. It will have to waste a turn to do so, and it can be pushed back in, and...

Thanks so much for posting this information. I will now ask a question of my own. Could you please post one of the Invoker 29 Dailies? Perhaps the one that is, in your opinion, the most powerful? I am curious if their high-end dailies are as brutual as the Wizard ones...

My game has been going for 8 months now, and one guy in it has been playing a Paladin the entire time. He levelled his character up from 1 to 12 (so far). He is quite the power gamer, and he thinks his Paladin is his favorite character that he has ever played. For the first few levels, there...

Let's get the book and then see what we have to worry about. I would be very surprised in the Tome of Binding implement does something other than improve the stats and/or viability of summoned creatures. There are probably feats that make a difference too. We are not seeing the full picture...

It might make more sense for hellfire soul to use Con as its attack stat instead of Charisma. Y'know, being for Infernal Pact and all.

I am hereby, perhaps uselessly, adding my voice to the howling throng that is clammoring for a picture of the Avenger character sheet. Please?

The game I DM. Started at level 1, now level 11, using the advancement system in the DMG. William of Ravenskar, displaced noble/swashbuckler (Half-Elf Rogue/Master Spy) Pendrake, scion of the late Archmage of Terra Arcana (Human Wizard/Spellstorm Mage) Aizen Dawntouched, existential...

I really think that if you cut the art (keeping maybe just one piece at the start of each chapter), lowered the font size, cut the flavor text and Points-of-Light-specific content (there goes half the DMG, right there), minimized whitespace and gave up on having only one monster-type per page...

In this thread, I pine for the creation of a non-existent product. See, I love D&D 4th edition. I won't go into all the reasons for it, and this is not an edition war thread. If you don't care for it, more power to you, but let's not have this thread get derailed. I also love the D&D Rules...

One of the players in my campaign created a Warden for a side 1st level game (the main characters in the campaign are level 10). The Warden was killed 2 rounds into his first combat. However, this was because: 1) The player of the Warden paid no attention to defense, possibly thinking that...
