I can't speak for him but I think Fenes is insisting that his position is not unreasonable, as you keep saying. It is a matter of preferences not reason. Without going to extreme examples like rape, some people simply won't play games involving sexual content, evil PCs or steampunk or high...

The cosmic phase thing sounds fun, if a bit convoluted. One more thing to keep track of anyway. Strength as a 2ndary stat, bah! It doesn't make sense except as (yet) another build for dragonborns. Speaking of which, the one on the picture actually looks dragonish for a change, not like a...

This. The rakshasa part too. For humans and humans with pointy ears, it doesn't take much effort and gender is more relevant because these characters might get involved in romantic relationships. Furry or scaly romance otoh, is not something i want to think about. But that may just be me. If...

I guess your filters haven't been turned off properly because I got very different results. I'm not sure exciting is the word though :eek: Thanks a lot :-S

from Mike Mearls' gleemax blog : "BTW, who knew that so many people disliked Vancian spellcasting? The entire audience in yesterday's seminar cheered and clapped when we told them it was (mostly) gone." This is one of the first things I read about 4e and it did sound promising. Ironically, the...

Gnome bards cannot.

I'm surprised dragonborns don't grow tails before they get wings. Before reading PHB1, I thought the reason dragonborns didn't have tails in the previews (and looked so incredibly stupid) was that they'd grow one and get tail sweep attacks at higher levels. I guess it was just another lame...

That's how I see it too. But a rule-light system doesn't necessarily mean "the absence of tight rules" or just "filling the void". Some rules get in the way of realism precisely because they're too broad and simplified. Take the OP's Wisdom example. A few ability scores covering several...

I agree with TC, who agrees with Shemeska (I can't agree directly with someone who likes the Great Wheel so much and has a fetish for furry fiends :D) "Mature" isn't in itself a compelling theme for an rpg book. But I want mature content included when it makes sense. I don't mind ugly...

:lol: Your New Coke analogy was a bit more flattering, though.

Whether it's muscle or fat, dwarves are certainly not built like heavyweight boxers. Anyone with that waist-to-height ratio would be considered tubby. As for "pictures that actually match the stats"... ha ha, funny. First, I'd be happy if 4e's fluff matched the stats. Then, 3-4 foot humanoids...

Agreed. If you can't find interesting and significantly different themes for both races, merge them and be done with it (the same goes for devils and demons imo.) I would have thought the idea would cause outrage among gnome lovers (the three of them), but even Whizbang seems ok with it...

Hey speak for yourself :mad: I need my weekly h4te fix Seriously, this thread isn't even about that. Many posters explained how they ended up liking 4e. No one tried to convince them that they were wrong (even though they clearly are :))

I was looking forward to it until the first previews but by the time of release, i felt it was the opposite of what i wanted. After giving it few runs i knew it was beyond repair. You can only houserule so many gamist powers before 4e's precious balance breaks down and i don't see any way...

Good thing this poll is anonymous then. But no, i don't think the discussion itself is going to be incredibly enlightening. Anyways, I'm not a fan of pdfs and I guess the pre-release leak was a bad thing, but I'm thankful I was able to read the books "in the store", so i didn't have to buy 4e...

I disagree with most of the OP's points but it's really a matter of preference so there's not much more to say. My list is pretty close to yours. I may not agree on #5, though. I think tiers are an great improvement over prestige classes which were somewhat messy, but i hate how restrictive...

yeah, but as one of them said, they "could do this all day". No limit on how many times a day/per encounter they can try.:angel: Those traceurs who survive to become this good, that is. I know a few kids who get hurt all the time trying this.

Yet another elemental blaster, good option for dragonborn and another charisma based arcane striker. yawn: Now I see what they meant by sorcerers being too similar to wizards and warlocks to be included in PHB1. They didn’t try very hard to make it otherwise in PHB2 either. Wild sorcerer looks...

I wouldn’t say charmless as much as plain fugly, but that’s just me :) More seriously, I don’t mind the streamlining or losing of some dnd quirks. 3e did that a lot too and I liked it. If anything, I thought it didn’t go far enough. I don’t even mind the classes’ sameness in 4e, I simply hate...
