I'm not sure how you make the jump from Saga Edition presentation (a good thing) to Forgotten Realms used in the core books as the default setting (not a good thing).

Vivendi Universal dictates how Blizzard is run.

Fighter: 10 or more Wizard: 1 No snark, no joke. I don't think fighters should be worried about getting hit by weak to average opponents. In my perfect world, and in my perfect edition of D&D (best known as WFRP 2nd Edition), Armor provides damage reduction and a well armored first level...

In what way was a second level wizard so much more powerful than a second level fighter that he needed to earn an extra 500 XP to get there? In what way was a second level cleric so much weaker that he got there 500 XP early?

Everybody fights! The concept of fighter is too broad. I'd like to see it refracted into its archetypes, Cavalier, Weapon Master, Berserker, Duelist, Archer, Soldier, Brawler, etc. If, for the sake of nostalgia, one of these archetypes retains the name "fighter" I don't mind, but I see the...

I like to add my own rule tweaks as time goes on, but the initial play experience needs to be solid for me to even bother adding rules. 4e gets a lot of hate, but I thought it had great OBQ at heroic tier, which is the only tier of it I've ever played. For my own tweaks, all I've done is to...

Also, just to point out, MMOs don't have healing surges. They have characters who stand in the back and cast healing spells until they run out of them. My first reaction to healing surges was that they were so unlike any MMO I'd ever played, compared to the 3.5 and prior clerics which were so...

I voted to keep them, but after reading some of the replies, I think healing surges should be a special ability available o certain classes or a feat choice that any character can take. When a cleric or other healer restores someone's hp, if the target has any healing surges, they can spend one...

I spent hours converting the Zanzer Tem adventure to 3e (with a vastly simplified map and fewer encounters). 4e came out before we actually started the campaign and the conversion to 4e took only a few minutes. There's a human wizard monster in MM1 that works well as Tem's stand-in and it's...

It seems like they're admitting that the way Paizo created Pathfinder was the way they should have handled 4E. Not in the sense that Pathfinder was so close to 3E, but in the sense that Pathfinder was the result of extensive public play testing and input, as opposed to something designed and...

I'm in Gilbert, Arizona for the next two days and I'm trying to find a game shop, preferably that stocks out of print or used books. I tried google, but it always comes back with video game retailers.

I had a similar idea, mainly inspired buy Nasajim on YouTube. The idea is that Athas never did exist. Rather, the supposed inhabitants of Athas are gestating fetuses carried by a massive colony ship to a new home, escaping their former world which suffered a fate similar to the Athas we know...

So, what CAN feats grant?

A druid islimited to using beastform powers only while in beastform via shapechange. A druid in beastform can not use non-beastform powers.

I don't know if that fet exists. I'm playing in a greek mythology based games as a carthaginian shapechanged by a witch into a dog. He was originally a Druid multiclassed to Battlemind, but for now he's retrained to druid. We simply house ruled to allow him to use skill and MC powers in beast...

Not sure if this is related to your issue, but I can't access the forums at all from my ipad since about two or three weeks ago. I can get on with IE, but I often get error messages.

That's been done too. World Buildrrs' Guidebook for 2nd Edition is the best DM supplement ever created, and stil 99.95% compatible with post-essentials 4e.

Repsonses to various questions... If we had bothered to split the groups the way I'd suggested, I'm pretty sure we would have enough defenders. The Snarky DM in question was not a regular DM. One of the two regular DMs was out, and he was filling in. The Non-snarky DM rolled a single attack...

We had twelve players and two DMs. When they were trying to decicde how to split the groups betwee the two tables, I suggested everyone be divied up so that each table had all four roles covered. One of the DMs repsonded (sarcastically, I think...) "make sure you optimize those characters...
