Captain America is NG, as proven by his willingness to rebel during the Civil War. NG are helpers, which fits a hero just as well as anything the LG description has to say, but although there's some crossover, the second half of the NG description clearly shows where he fits in. Other than...

I've always thought of Lawful Good as the jerkface samurai/knight who'll beat you for disrespecting them. I can't help but view the alignment as just as bad as Lawful Evil. XD

I hear you there, Puk. I still haven't gotten a response from Pawsplay in our argument over the use of minions, which I've decided to take as a win.

I do want to clarify why I thought it odd, though. It's not because I think it's a bad thing, it's because I think that it makes the other alignments entirely unnecessary. It's the first step in a direction that will lead to the removal of the alignment system, which I like.

He made a valid complaint, Dire Bare, so there's no reason to use sarcasm as a way to insult him. WotC stopped saying 'all but one' at one point, which lead people to hope that metallics might be in. And even if that weren't the case, Metallics are iconic to the game in ways that 90% of the rest...

I'm going to be describing them, and marking a little 'M' on a piece of graph paper when I feel I need to keep track of things on my own. I'm not going to use minis, and although I'm thinking about trying one session with a battlemat, I'm still leaning towards good ol' description based...

Yeah, those are decent, but I prefer my black-backed Deck Protectors. I don't play Magic any more, so why not get some use out of 'em, eh?

If in 4E, a character behaves the way you'd describe a CG character in 3.5 but has something else written on his character sheet, is that bad? I don't really get why some people think because alignments have been simplified(primarily because they weren't important), it means that you can't play...

I'm either going to download or make my own Power Card template, and then print them, cut them out, and slip them in front of Magic the Gathering cards in their protective sleeves. Voila, instant Power Card.

If you'll remember from the excerpts, the Equipment one stated that they were now using Keywords to help make the abilities of certain items readily apparent. In this case, it's probably a Keyword that makes it easy to see that it's heavy, and not light, armor.

The only thing I find weird about this Alignment system is the way 'Unaligned' will work. I can't help but feel that 95% of the world's population is unaligned, and that Good, Evil, Lawful Good and Chaotic Evil are very specific roles a person can fit into. It's the shade of gray on the...

I don't get how Alignment ever really mattered anyway. It was either used to very poor effect as requirement/trigger off of a spell, or a shoehorn for a player's actions that generally gets ignored anyway. When you think up a story and personality for a character, you don't look back at what's...

Yeah, the more I hear about them, the less I want to use minions on their own; except maybe for the first few 4E battles I run. I think that small groups of Kobold minions, leading into a big fight with an Elite and Soldiers, might throw them for a loop and give them time to adjust to 4E combat...

I'm fairly certain, although this is nothing more than my assumption based off of what I've seen, that only PCs will have healing surges.

I could see something like that being a Monk power... it might not be a Greatsword, but Kamas and other exotic weapons have always been a part of the class in addition to the hand-to-hand stuff.

I understand what you're saying, Exploder, but I still have to disagree. In a mechanical sense, yes, the powers let you do things you might otherwise be unable to do. Within the context of the game world, however, that just isn't the case. By claiming: ...you come across as implying that...

I never looked at it as dragon bestiality... in that sense, it is pretty creepy. I always thought of it as a dragon assuming human form via alter self or something and impregnating a female, or more often, the result of some sort of pact, similar to what's seen in Dragonheart, and the power is...

I've always been a big Dragonlance fan, and although I do like Forgotten Realms, I dislike playing in it. This is primarily because of a single bad experience with a DM I played with. We were running an Evil Undead campaign in the realms(I, of course, decided to play a Pixie Death Knight Rogue...

Don't forget the Warlock's awesome 'upon cursed enemy's death' abilities. Dropping a minion to activate a short range teleport or levitation spell seems pretty unique, as far as I can tell. EDIT: I will say that I think the Cleric and Paladin cross over a bit more than I like... one's high...

I do think a Warlock/Warlord could work though, even though I agree that it's not necessary in this case. As a DM, I'd certainly allow a PC to bend the rules on a multiclass feat requirement(possibly swapping the primary stat requirement to one of that class' secondary stats) if he gave me a...
