    Please someone tell me I missed something

    mmh, I'm more familiar with 2nd edition, and I'm quite sure some of what you said don't apply there (the fail save only only a 1, for example). When you deal with kobolds that they have less hit points is irrilevant, they go down with an hit even at 1st level, ayway. It is true that I was...

    Saving Throws?

    Well, in previious edition worked only on creatures way weaker than you (to the point of making it useless, I admit). but now it is at least misnamed, it is not sleep, at best is a nap, or a dooze. But there are way to make it works and not make it useless outside combat, for example, make a...

    Kobold Inconsistancy

    What about give a "sensible" reason for the AC? If I wanted to play with "special effects" I'd play with HERO.

    Kobold Inconsistancy

    I don't know the particolar book but it is a devil, so it is probably a magical armor, maybe linked someway to his ... mmhh, soul? (or whaever the devils have) Heck, maybe it is made with souls, and when the devil dies the souls are freed, leaving the armor as a worthless piece of metal. It is a...

    Kobold Inconsistancy

    This is just my opinion, of course, but still I'd like to say: "Bleagh".

    Saving Throws?

    Wait, I'm not sure how it work, attack against will, enemy is slowed for 1 round, then roll its save, either 1-9 (and fall asleep) or 10-20 (and it is not even slowed) Is it right? In any way is another power virtually useless outside of combat. :(

    Healing

    LOH let you use one of the paladin's surges, beside you can still roll a 20, or more simply someone can roll an heal check dc 15 to stabilize you then you can rest 6 hours and be back at full strength.

    Healing

    all I know is what was written in the DDX rules reported in one of these posts, you rest six hours, you gain all your hps, all your healing surges and get all your powers ready to use. maybe there are other rules we don't know yet.

    D&D 4E Verisimilitude IMPROVEMENTS in 4e

    You have a point , and still beyond a certain level of detail my answer is "because it just works like that" why I can't fly swapping my arms up and down? Why I can't start a nuclear reaction beating to pieces of rock together? Why I can't pass thorught walls? because things don't works like...

    D&D 4E Verisimilitude IMPROVEMENTS in 4e

    FWIW, this is my view of it. what the wizard do every morning is to do into his brain what normally he do when he create a scroll, he charge the power of the spell into his brain ready to be released (I think to it like a 4 dimensional sigil/rune when the wizard activate it the power of magic...

    Please someone tell me I missed something

    It was different, PC had less hit point, AC and saving throws didn't grew almost limitlessly like in 3e, that kobold shaman Hold Person (or charm person) had still a chance, even if small, to put your fighter out of combat, a single hit point of damage was enough to stop your wizard to cast...

    Camping: It does a body good!

    I was thinking "recover only CON modifier healing surge" and 1/4 HPs .

    Please someone tell me I missed something

    Ah, I see. So the comparison is not directly between levels. I admit that this interest me,one of the thing I liked less in 3.x was that low level monsters were no challenge at all for higher level characters, no matter the number. Being able to challenge 20 level characters with a whole tribe...

    Please someone tell me I missed something

    but are 13 goblins picador as challenging as a lv 26 pit fiend? :) (or is that 26 goblins because he is an Elite?)

    My take.

    Never read discworld? Shame on you. :)
  18. J

    My take.

    That is because 3e at least tried, 4e officially don't give a damn about it.
  19. J

    My take.

    ^this.

    Healing

    He was also wearing what was probably the best armor in all of the middle earth. OK, maybe there are some powers that put some kind of "permanent" damage to pcs, but even so I don't like the idea that outisde of these powers a character is either dead or six hours away from full health, and I...
