MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh. Was that out loud? Ahem... *whistles innocently*

I finally got it but I had to be logged into gleemax in another browser window before it came up. Here is the post in part:

Actually that problem is more of the 'Massive Damage at level 27' thing and was intended as an example of how boring I think the SoD effects are. To me SoD are boring - that's the issue. Not only in effect but in what they may force the player to do (or not do as the case may be). I'm at the...

As others have said: becuase I, as a player, have a chance to react to my PC's impending doom. This reaction may or may not save my PC's life. Maybe the group has the correct spell or maybe they don't. Maybe a wall has magically appeared between the cleric and the dying fighter so they have...

This is assuming that damage for 4e spells is calculated the same way as 3e. Didn't Fireball get confirmed that it isn't Xd6 anymore? If the damage on spells isn't nearly as great maybe the crits won't be as deadly.

My DM has a favorite saying about DMing and PCs: Death means the PC stops suffering. My DM wants to continue to bring on the pain...

No. That said, my DM hates it as much as I do (if not more) when months and months worth of character story arcs, history and plothooks gets gacked by a single die roll. WHat I didn't say very well is this: If I am going to lose out on the above mentioned story and hooks I want to make the...

Fun for you maybe, but not for me. I don't have a problem with my PC dying in a fight. I just want that death to be from being whittled down and over powered - not because my die decided it didn't like me and thus rolled a 1. I'm there to play a hero. It's not very heroic to die before I get...

Ease to differentiate play style. To fully remove save-or-die stuff from the game it has to not be an option for both the DM and the players. This means that it should be listed on the house rules at the beginning of the campaign. Okay... So what does "No Save-or-Die Spells" mean? Unless...

So then how would you want it? Everything used At Will?

I play a fairly even split between casters and non-casters. I like the idea of per-encounter.

I voted "thumbs up". I like most of what I've read so far but I can't say certain until I read the actual rules. I guess you can say I like the ideas but I need to see if I like the implamentation.

To be completely fair there are a lot of people on the other end that are ... Hmmm... How to place this into the analogy... That are claiming 4e is worse than Highlander 2. Or (for those that aren't familiar with the Highlander series) that 4e has already come to their home and killed their...

Only the ones the munchkin players create as their PCs. ... What?

I know it's anicdotal - but I know my DM has thrown Rocs, Hill Giants and Fire Giants against us (lots and lots of Fire GIants). I do not recall any Frost Giants. (I know a fight where they might have been Frost Giants but it was a case that they were 'giants of the appropriate CR' more than...

So, in two posts we have two different (if not necessarily opposet) opinions on the same image. So I ask both posters (and anyone who wants to reply) "Why is it anime/manga style or why is it not anime/manga style?" And yes; just so everyone is sure we are all on the same page (HA!) and not...

I see it, but that's after knowing something was there and the first thought was the Soul Calibur sword. My second thought - a split second later - was "Oh. That's what they are seeing."

I am all for riddles of the type that are "Hey, there is motif of Blue, Red and Green in that order so maybe we need to put the colors in that order" or "There was poem about guardians back there and now we are facing a bunch of statues..." types (okay, maybe more complex than that)...

I am fully behind dropping alignment entirely - or at least from a mechanical standpoint. I don't mind having LG or CE on a character sheet to help myself and others have a starting point for 'who the PC is'. If it must have something mechanically relavent to the game I wouldn't mind PrCs or...

I bet these are the monkeys that succeeded with the typewriter. They deserve some kind of prize.
