No Lego Love? The poll is problematic, because I'm sure many like me use a combination of mini types. Our primary minis for PCs and major NPCs is Lego figures. I've got a slew of castle and pirate legos from my childhood, and they're still making them, so I pick up a few now and then (got...

While it's fantastic that Dilettante will work with both old classes and a few of the new ones, I guarantee the new Half-Elf will have a different racial feature. The human has a new option because the old feature doesn't work as well with Essentials. Same deal with the Half-Elf. The question...

Example of Good Customer Service My cable company used to completely screw me over at every opportunity. No service for a week? Cable guy didn't show up? Twice? And was late the third time? So I call the toll free number and wait half an hour to hear, "Sorry about that, nothing we can do."...

Just to review, the first Essentials player book, Heroes of the Fallen Lands, is out. It has Dwarves, Elves, Eladrin, Halflings, and Humans. Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Product (Heroes of the Fallen Lands) The second Essentials player book, Heroes of the Forgotten...

Familiars? I don't have the Rules Compendium, but here's something I've been wondering but haven't heard if anyone answered it yet. The only rules that are annoying at our table are the Familiar rules, as they aren't included in the Character Builder, so you just have to know how far a...

So I was telling my friend about the Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms races that would be coming out. He was disappointed that the Gnome had gotten the shaft once again. But in listing the races, I realized that the Half-Elf was the only non-monstrous or non-evil-curious race in there. This...

My predictions: * Dragonborn: Str and Cha/Wis (or maybe Str/Int). Dragonborn may have sharp teeth, but they're not the brutes that Half-Orcs are, so Con doesn't feel right. * Half-Elf: Cha and Con/Dex. How can you be a card carrying scion of elfishness and have nothing in common with that...

I recently saw an analysis of D&D past editions, and the poster pointed out that the major alternatives to D&D 1st and 2nd edition were tailored for experienced gamers who wanted something that felt more "realistic". Thus GURPS, Rolemaster, and their ilk. Many of those folks came back to D&D...

I'd say the best way to permanently seal each of the three is to destroy the portal from BOTH sides. There could be various interesting ways of doing this to create variety. 1) Maybe for one, a special ritual (with accompanying skill challenge) can be acquired without having to open up the...

I agree that 4e would work well, except for armor, which doesn't really fit in a modern setting.

I second the suggestion for more Boons. Also more adventures that don't have anything to do with Far Realm incursions. Fun concept, but doesn't fit with a lot of campaigns.

Rodney is a nice man who will hopefully continue to make wonderful toys for all of us. Its just that he's wrong right now, and here's why. Point 1: I must quibble with 3d6 being lumped in with wilder dice games. A 3d6 system is not a dice pool system. Dice pool games are games where the...

I did in 3.5, and I recommend it. IMHO, the advantage of having a compromise between the extremes of d20 and 3d6 outweighs the minor annoyance of a 0.5 shift in average result. I don't use the house rule for 4E, however. Not because it wouldn't work just as well, I just prefer to run 4E as...

The new Wealth skill is an interesting idea, but totally impractical for most folks. 4E just isn't designed for new skills, and introducing a new one would upset the balance. My suggestion is a group of new feats instead. Here are a few possibilities: Noble's Purse Requires: Training in...

Thanks for the effort keeping us up to date all this time on WotC's doings. It's nice they've finally gotten their act together. I think your decision to leave that content out is reasonable. What would be nice would be a better RSS feed. I subscribed to an EN World Google Reader feed a...

I think the OP makes an interesting point. It's probably true for many that their wish-fulfillment has something to do with what they'd like to happen to their characters. But I doubt it's true for everyone. Look at D&D as a form of fiction. Its interactive and personal, but it's still...

How about multiplying the damage for every square that the creature takes up? This doesn't address tiny stuff, but no biggie. Nobody pushes anything smaller than a "small" creature off a cliff anyways. While this might seem like a lot of damage, also keep in mind how difficult it is to push...

Updates? Hi, is anyone else using this? I have some extra powers entered into the second sheet I'd be willing to share if anyone's interested. Maybe we could even cooperate and try to get all of the powers in the PH written up. There are also a few bugs that need to be worked out: 1...

This is great, it's the only way I've seen to both save a character electronically and produce power cards. So is there a way to remove powers once they are added? If not, please add. Thx!

I second that. We've got a metric ton of character sheets, but no monster sheets. I need to whip up a bunch of NPC's and I don't need completely statted out characters.
