From what I've seen is that the longsword is chosen because it is most likely going to be an item given via the adventure module the group is playing. I've seen a lot of treasure lists that had longswords in them. Not too many ear-spoons though.

It has definate potential to be incredably awesome. A long way to go but definate potential. Very nice for an early beta. Add my voice as another vote to at least get the glossary up there is not the entire rule set. While I would love to be able to look anything up through this I at least...

Flumph!! (because someone had to say it) And something different that is missing is a full alphabetical list of the monsters with page numbers. There is the CR list in the back which is really cool and I love it and I want all MM books to have one. There is also the shortened Table of...

Or the player(s) in question are bored with (apparently) pointless interaction. I have no problem with my DM asking us what we order in the tavern I would likely have a problem with my DM asking us if we enjoyed our meals and making us say why in heavy detail. I'm one of these people that...

I'm with this reading of it. You can do the trick once per day and that is it.

Really like the look of 4e, own the books, but am in the middle of a 3e campaign at the moment and my group as a whole is not convinced. So it's still 3.X at the moment. We'll see what happens when this current campaign comes to an end.

Short Answer: There are lies, d***ed lies and statistics. Long Answer - and with all due respect to this site as a whole: A single EnWorld poll is hardly proof of anything, except maybe that internet polls exist. They can be fun and half of the ones I have responded to I went into the thread...

Focusing on the last half of that statement: I must have missed something because I was under the impression that, given the setup by my DM, I could choose Betty, Veronica, neither or go for both. Sure, games have 'romance' plotlines nowadays but with my DM - if I really wanted to - we could...

With my lack of MMO background I'll just use this as more of a jumping off point that anything else... If those 10 abilities were ONLY damage dealers it would strike me as boring. Someone up thread mentioned fighters having the choice of trip and grapple and other things. Fine. These do...

Why? The above statement comes across (to me) as saying that the rule/mechanic/theory is off limits simply because it is from a video game. Other have stated that opinion out right in other threads and I don't get it. If something is in a video game and "Is Good" (whatever that thing may be...

Yes, intelligent monsters will likely recognize that the guy blowing up pieces of the landscape is the larger threat and will want to take that person out first. I fully agree. Now for something that is not quite the tanget it seems... You ever have the situation where you're walking down a...

I'd argue the "wholecloth" thing. I see the similarity in concept (having the PC limit the options available to the NPC) but other than the general overarching concept I just don't see the connection to the name 'aggro'. I have played FFXI in the past but not WoW, so maybe my concept of aggro...

At least a large section of the rules is about combat, and I think that's where the focus should be on. I don't need rules for how to have my character say "Good Morning" to an NPC but I need rules to determine if my character successfully attacked the orc. My gut reaction is that they were...

Having the online compendium would be cool, but it isn't needed. I've gotten the core 3 books but any more 4e purchases depends on those books and on what the rest of my group does.

Agreed. Tiffany's blank stare may indicate that she is an airhead and won't know the answer anyway; but at least you won't be dragging her away from "more important things" to do her job (whatever those things may be).

I have no problem with the staff playing a video game when a customer first walks in. I've worked in retail for seven years (mass retail, not small business retail like we are talking about) and I know that you can be hit with lulls and I am someone who needs to be doing something or get bored...

So far so good **knocks on nearby wood-like object**. But then again the books have spent all of the time I haven't been reading them in a single stack and in a random order as well so maybe they have just kept everything flattened with their own weight. (Non-giftbox set through Amazon)

Did I miss something? What is wrong with a DM giving more info than usual to help players learn the rules? Player 1: I rolled an 8. Do I hit? DM: Let's see, the monster has a 20 AC. You rolled an 8 and you add your 8 attack bonus for a total of 16. I'm sorry, you miss. Player 2: I rolled...

It is the three separate books preordered on November 5, 2007.

And... My order is on its way! Shipment Date: June 4, 2008 Destination: MIDLAND, MI, US Estimated Arrival: June 6, 2008 Last update from a few hours ago has the package in Ohio. Up until yesterday my estimated arrival date was the 10th but it looks like I should be getting them tomorrow.
