The Leshy is often mentioned along with other slavic spirits like the polevik, domovoy or vodyanoy and i've read about leshy wives and children. In most legends, he's nothing like a god. Interesting. Do you have a link? I googled it but couldn't find a serious source for "lesidhe", only...

I wonder where you get this spelling from. I know of the slavic leshy (leh-shee) or lesovik, who is a shapechanging woodland spirit with tree-like characteristics (mossy beard and foliage for hair, similar to some depictions of trolls). "Lesidhe" suggests something related to the celtic sidhe...

The version i saw yesterday was searchable. You could tell it was scanned but it was bookmarked and OCRed. Really high quality images, too. That would be disrespectful to ddi subscribers. After all, they're paying to be advertised to see previews first. Also, an extensive preview might be...

I would have picked Arborean but I don't really care, the concept isn't that compelling to begin with. A made-up name would only reinforce its artificiality. Sylvan is too generic and I see woses as hairy wild men. Maybe polls won't work but mocking and whining about "golden wyvern" and "emerald...

Yeah, so is the wizard on the picture, if you look closely. Anyway, she/he is a bit tall for a dwarf.

If I had to pick one I'd say the original hobbit is the least annoying. the AD&D halfling is just beating around the bush. Darksun and Eberron halflings are trying too hard to be badass. Kenders have topknots... Topknots! I never really saw the appeal. I mean she's hot ...if you ignore the...

Elves in the Empire or on the Bretonnian coast are mostly merchant communities and military allies. So they're not nearly as reclusive and mysterious as those of Athel Loren who have almost no direct contact with humans (even though they have a strong hidden influence on Bretonnian affairs...

Note that I said "part of me". I liked 3e a lot but got burned out after a while and felt it could be improved in many ways so I had high hopes for 4e. But it turned out to be the opposite of what i wanted and I felt betrayed. The irrational jerk in me wants someone to pay for this and would...

Wow, that does sound Neverland-esque. Is it fan-made or official fluff? I thought the boys were sacrificed but keeping them as slaves also makes sense and matches the druchii habit. Girls are better off and some return as Damsels of the Grail (not a pc career), which is confusing because I...

I dislike 4e so part of me hopes it tanks but I suppose it's doing ok Maybe not as well as expected, considering wotc's behaviour and what I read online, but ok still.

I don't think the lawsuits are an alibi. They're sending the message that it's not ok to pirate their stuff. Showing that they can track and sue pirates abroad might even scare a few of them. Not producing new pdfs may also slow piracy a little. But I agree that pulling the existing ones as a...

Same here. I guess i'd be miffed if i was still buying wotc products but i'm not so that was pretty entertaining. Not just the PR, the strategy itself, assuming it really was about piracy, was interesting too.

I read that a lot from posters on both "sides" but... how so? I mean, I don't know how well 4e is doing (neither does anyone here I think) and I'm not praying for its demise or obsessed with it, but how is a game i dislike being successful good for me? The better it sells, the more it will...

The problem is there is no such indication. The music industry losses point to sales being hurt by illegal downloads. And even if piracy is the most likely cause, it's hard to measure its real impact. If 4e is doing as well as expected, let alone better, nothing indicates it could have sold...

Yeah that's confusing. So which is it? Are 4e sales exceeding expectations or are they significantly hurt by piracy?

I am not going to go into this at length since we had this discussion not so long ago and i don't really care what system dnd uses (imperial units do have an old fashioned charm that fits the genre) but still... It might not be worth the cost and effort but in today's global economy there...

The problem isn't with multiclassing per se, it comes from prestige classes being unbalanced and new classes like warmage being themselves more efficient than any fighter/wizard combination in terms of raw power.

Yes. Simulation-wise I find the power system (and healing to a lesser extent) much more jarring than the economy. The problem is if you fix that you're not really playing 4e anymore, are you? As for the OP's suggestions, 3) and 4) may be more "fun" or more to your taste, but i don't think...

That's how i feel too. I wouldn't hold my breath. Unless it's something they took into account when designing classes features (ie planned from the start, not a response to fan complaints), I think hybrid classes will be just as restrictive, for the reasons Kamikaze Midget mentioned. I don't...

I see. That's completely different. So you keep asking, but I fail to see anyone arguing that. The issue is your calling (sorry, finding) people unreasonable, wrong, raging nerds and prime donne because they won't play or even run games with elements they don't like. That's what I find...
