Tell that to my 15th level Tiefling Paladin - her fiery rebuke infernal wrath is quite iconic. Quote the striker from the party: "You did how much damage with an at-will??"

Looking for an actual review from someone who has the book and plays 4e? Look no further. Overall impressions - The book is for DMs. The old "sprinkle in some player bits into every book to increase sales" approach appears to be gone in 4e, and I'm all for it. Being in 3 games, only one of...

Oh man. Don't get me started on this **** thing. :) I ran it for my group a year or two ago with the 3.x conversion - they blew up the freaking mountain!!!! On the way down to the crab fight, they got paranoid about the reinforced doors, so they spent hours systematically dismantling and...

Hey all, this is my first shot at a storyhour. I've been thinking about doing this for a few months now, and I've finally nerved myself up to give it a go. This is the character introduction - next post will be mainly focused on how Vaarkith ended up unconscious on the floor of a dungeon...

Vaarkith returned to consciousness through a slow, painful haze. Every pulse of blood through his temples brought a throbbing spike of agony with it, and an attempt to move his head gave him a vicious attack of nausea. He held himself very still for a bit after that, blinking his second set of...

XP given. I like that a lot - gets rid of all those "2d6 brutal 2" style holes in the rules.

My wizard has a weasel named Bigby that she carries around in her pocket. When she casts Bigby spells, she pretends that he cast them. :)

Yep, count another vote for the Crown Royal bag here.

Hey all - I'm running a campaign in the Shadowfell right now. At the moment I have the characters trapped in a modified version of the Well of Demons encounter from H2, but after I put them back in the Shadowfell I'm looking to ramp up the creepy horror vibe a bit. So I'm looking for links to...

Yeah, I've been loving Dragon ever since it went 4e. This month, I thought the Sunderheart, Barbarian, both Gladiator, and Items of Legend articles were all money. Here's hoping next issue brings us another Deconomicon or Codex of Betrayal (Dispater or Grazz't!)

Yep. Count me in with the lucky ones who have never run into this problem. Seen cross-gender done fine both ways, do it myself when I'm a player about 40% of the time, never run into anyone who had a problem with it. Although the time that I missed a session after my char died and I came back to...

27, love 4e. I think the game has gotten better and better with every edition.

I'm aware of that. I just feel that each has its weaknesses. H1 has a fairly strong villain and plot-hook, but the adventure itself is pretty much a straight up dungeon crawl, and it starts to drag after a while. H2 has a very nice setting, with a lot of creative room to tweak and customize it...

Yeah - I have one group which I'm running through the H-series pretty much straight up, and I'm finding it a bit boring. I'm cutting out certain pieces and adding bits in, but in general their main weakness is that they don't really have any story. Red Hand was nice because the story was right...

I think a lot of this thread is (as is typical on the internet) has turned into quibbling over degree. Allow me to summarize, ignoring many of the nuances: KarinsDad: My wizard can't do all of the awesome and interesting things he used to be able to do in 3e. (By the way, I don't like the 4e...

Off-topic, but Malachite was a great character man. True paladin, not a Miko-style stick-up-the-butt class feature, but at the same time, always felt really really close to taking the smiting just a BIT too far and falling. (Haven't read his early years, just the White Kingdom part of the...

I think my biggest weakness is not prepping enough. My 2nd biggest weakness would be boring NPCs, then catering a bit too much to my own style as a player (lots of combat), then not getting enough information about the world out to my players. And finally, I get bored and want to DM a new and...

That was one of the great appeals of 3.x - the smarter you as a player were, the more the game rewarded you. If you could twink your fighter out well enough (multi-class, prestige class, broken little feat combos, etc), you were going to destroy other fighters. If you'd carefully picked the...

Anyone tried out the new Monster Builder Bonus Tool on D&DI yet? I've got to admit that it's a pretty swell app, but it desperately needs the option to create elites and solos (unless I'm blind and missed that somewhere).
