Being keen on biology would be wanting to play a dragonborn without a vagina. Wanting to play a dragonborn without breasts is pretty reasonable, as I think most people are aware reptiles do not have them.

4E is a car that's been sanded down to the metal to reduce wind resistance. Okay, maybe that shade of beige wasn't the most attractive color on a car, but the lack of any paint at all is much more alarming. Still, we can drive around in it okay, and while we're on the inside we're going to...

Something to keep in mind is that air conditioning removes humidity. If the books are kept somewhere with good air conditioning, the outdoor humidity won't be as much a factor. Here it's a foggy 93% humidity and my covers are pristine, but they've been in comfortable AC.

I love spiders, so I'm going to help make this idea more authentic. I think authentic spiders are better, whether you love them or you're terrified of them. So the spider jumps rather far, it should belong to the family salticidae, jumping spiders. A few things are distinctive about salticidae...

The slipcase is 2" wide. That's about the size of a AA battery.

I loved one of the tiefling illustrations, I think she was a warlock.

I really do prefer notebook paper. I find official character sheets cluttered and ugly.

What specifically is it you find so offensive about the artwork?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say very few. I ran the encounter properly and read more than a few stories calling specific attention to the 3 round delay. With the suggested setup the encounter is very difficult.

It's interesting to see the evolution of the Ironboot character through his quotes.

Regdar's armor littered the treasure of the red dragons on the cover of the 3.5 Draconomicon. It was not an allegory of 3.x fighters sucking or the end of 3rd Edition, it was just a cool reference. I can't imagine these newer images are any different.

I don't think you have read very many then. Irontooth and company mulch approximately half of all parties thrown against him. Some people have blamed this on switching out a pregen for the warlord, or inexperience with 4E tactics. I think the truth is that the encounter is unreasonably...

Monster Manual first. I have a love of monsters.

That's not how it works according to the DM's book- on page 11 under Forced Movement, Difficult Terrain: "Forced movement isn't hindered by difficult terrain." You can't shift into difficult terrain, and maybe that's what you meant. If it is, we're on the same page.

Just finished A3 and it was a TPK. Three characters ended up unconscious and two died from the three strike rule. We started it a 5 minute rest after A2 so the PCs could recover encounter abilities. The rogue snuck into the cave to check things out, and wanted to explore deeper into the cave...

If I get to play I'm going to want to play a cleric. I've always been a cleric player and being able to heal as a minor action is fantastic.

We just finished encounter A2. Same setup, I play the monsters and one player plays all the PCs. I can see the point raised earlier that one person might not play 5 PCs to the fullest, but I'm not convinced it's that much more demanding than a 2 player game of DDM or Descent. When I run the...

That's an interesting take on it. I don't agree that skills are for out of combat, but the Charisma attack against Will defense does sound like a better mechanic than the opposed Bluff vs. Insight roll.

In play the paladin frequently did more damage than the fighter by marking and using Holy Strike for 1d8+5 damage. Statistically the fighter should deal .5 damage more on average I suppose, but then he hits less. The fighter always seemed to be playing second fiddle, although this could have...

That's my mistake then, oops! I looked at the character sheet wondering why the paladin dealt more damage than the fighter, while using a shield. It seems wrong somehow. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I did not catch it. It hadn't occurred to me that the tactics are meant to direct...
