I have the tiles but I find myself using a flip mat from Paizo a lot, you can draw on it with dry or wet markers and it folds up like a normal piece of laminated paper (since thats what it is) and I think it was 12$ with one side generic and the other some location. It is also handy to use as a...

Not to mention any hunter knows his bullet/arrow falls over range. That or they starve. turning that into accurate indirect fire is another question of course but the real answer to this discussion is: it is this way because it makes fights go faster and be more fun.

I don't have a link or anything but didn't I read in the preview books that they were toning down the 'humans run everything now' line that had been part of the previous editions? (I suppose taken from Tolkien) Sounded like they wanted the different races to be more on par to up the...

Defensively, not so much. If you are in formation facing missile fire and the guy next to you was planning on defending you with a dagger you would be pissed/dead. Offensively the shield was just as likely to have been used to bash in close combat as an off hand blade would have been used to...

I am not getting this from what I have read but I see it being repeated here as fact. Why should we assume that because rangers have access to powers which make TWF more effective that a thief or fighter can't take feats that improve TWF as well? I think the likelihood that upon release it is...

I think they shrink the learning curve a bit as well. A new player trying to decide which powers to give his fighter can focus on the keywords he knows are important and skim past all the powers that will not do much for him.

I thought that might be the spiked chain. Looks ridiculous enough, and compared to this it is actually restrained.

I also would have liked to see a sample weapon or two (if only to hear the screams of 'OMG my favorite/least favorite weapon is so obviously limited/overpowered even though I have not see any other weapons to compare it to WAY TO GO WOTC!!!') But I still like the crunch, weapon classes are a...

In none of the preview games I have run has the cleric spent any time in melee intentionally. The ranged at-will has been used a lot, same with the heal. Compared to a 3.0 level 1 cleric I think the new guy feels more caster to me. And this, I would assume, is not a character that has...

Whoops I wasted 20 seconds of my life reading this stupid misinformed poll.

Encounter starts and ends when the DM says so. I don't see any reason why it would not 'start' when the wizard attacks and 'end' when one side or the other is dead/runs away. Distance is not a defining characteristic of 'encounter'.

As has been said a few hundred times already you have not been told that you cannot try to intimidate the Duke, but that if you do try you will not get what you want, which is his trust. This is no more a railroad then having an orc guarding the pie. "But I want to use my arrow of dragon...

Disclaimer: I don't think 4e is wow The 'new' tiefling look reminds me of the blue race from the wow expansion, the horns at least. Maybe that's why but I don't particularly like the new look. I doubt it will come up in playing the game though, it's not like I will be drawing pictures of every...

Well obviously, but everyone will be working the alien slave mines by 2013 anyway so I don't think it matters much. CRISWELL PREDICTS!!

Looking at it again I am a little puzzled by the complaints. It seems to specifically say that the DM can design an encounter to be resolved by: 1. Rp Only 2. One skill roll only + however much Rp you want 3. The Skill Challenge system + however much RP you want Isn't #1 and #2 how these sorts...

The Duke nods "that does seem reasonable, you are very eloquent Mr. half elf. And you, grubby street urchin looking halfling, why should I lend my support to your cause?' So long as you don't frame this to the players as a math problem where they know all variables I don't think it will take...

I'd ask what the player wants to do exactly (swinging from the chandelier probably not going to impress the duke) but I think even a great success might earn a gold piece for entertaining him and not effect the challenge unless he is a particularly fond of acrobats. Bad failure might distract...

Well you are reading this entirely wrong. Such a character would be a 'drtizzt kind of thing' because there would be few if any dragonborn in my setting so when one walked into town the locals would be surprised as hell to see one and respond appropriately. You know, like drittzt. That you...

Dude, no one is making you play with any DM, if you really are not having fun you should not be playing with them. There is a big difference between a DM on a power trip who does not give a rip if you have fun and one who has a coherent idea for the gameworld they want to create and encourages...

Why on earth would the way I envision my gamewolrd be offensive? You are expressing that you like this particular race but are tired of others and that is fine but you are offended that I have different tastes? Unless you are playing games with me I really cannot imagine why you would ever...
