Oh, I know that... I was aiming to be funny, not accurate Although, it wouldn't be bad if someone made a 4E webcomic... a lot of the rules and mechanics can be really funny in the right context

My Epileptic Trees Theory My epileptic trees theory is that the "parallel world" inside the rift functions in terms of 4E rules. ...where Haley is an Archer Ranger and Belkar a Brutal Rogue DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUN!

I completely agree with the Professor (and Deity knows it's not often that this happens)... I don't buy campaign settings anymore, but I would if WotC makes Dark Sun with BROM as main illustrator and art director. Same thing for DiTerlizzi and Planescape. ...Actually, if WotC made a...

It is sad and bad that people would erase the steganographic identifiers and the watermarks in order to allow people to download entire copies of gaming books without paying. Although, on the other hand, someone in the Internet made a really great fillable-pdf version of the 4E Character Record...

Sadly enough, there are ways to erase that watermark, so that argument is not going to be compelling enough to WotC

lol, "bardic tradition demands" pure Elan

Let me throw a couple of examples: Footwork Lure: "Modo the dwarf fighter swings his axe in a large arc, hitting a glancing blow on the wyvern's beak, but apparently leaving his flank exposed. The wyvern, seeing a good opportunity, claps her leathery wings and lunges forward the bearded...

I don't really have a comment on the original question, however I wish to comment on the "worst 4E character ever" issue I call shenanigans. If you are playing 4th edition for the first time, you are strongly recommended to use the standard array. You are also given two "1st level build...

I'll just chime in and say that the reason I see that the movement in Footwork Lure is a slide instead of a pull is because it allows the following scenario: Lets imagine that in the following grid, "F" is the Fighter and "M" the monster. XXXXX XFMXX XXXXX The Fighter uses Footwork Lure...

Call me dumb, but I actually like the default array, especially when the character I am making has a racial +2 to the main stat. Only when I am picking a suboptimal race/class combination do I try to get an 18 by point buy. The default array allows me a good spread in skills and defenses, imho...

Was your character 11th level in 3.5, or are you planning on making a 4E 11th level character? It's not the same, you know? ;) Now, back to the tips, I would model this as a straight-up, great weapon fighter with plate armor proficiency. Now, for the powers, I would pick some options that...

True, it is the scriptwriters and the director who should be put in front of the firing squad

So, what you are trying to say is that WHBTWHLHAND? Thank you for coming to the 4E forums just to tell us that.:hmm:

Every time I start a new campaign, I intend to have more abstracted wealth and ammunition... Every time, te players INSIST on bookeeping every single copper and I always end up asking the archer how many arrows he has left... :confused:

Here in my third-world game, I use a battlemat during combat but don't use minis (too expensive and they never represent the characters in our minds) Instead we use chess pieces, colored glass beads, toys, and in one memorable occasion, Playdoh The battlemat is only used during combats, so...

I agree that Hasbro/WotC should market a "beginner rpg" marketed to 5-8 year-old kids, with lots of fairies, princesses, knights and semi-scary monsters Use the D&D name, but just as a reference... Something like "Dungeons and Dragons presents: Fantasy Adventures!"

Olshanski, I think you should re-read the 4E Dungeon Master's Guide, which includes Skill Challenges and Quests as good sources of XP

For the record, "The big armored guy with the huge sword" was just a figure of speech. The orcs would feel equally threatened by the foppish elf with no armor, but a sword that explodes with green fire The point is, the -2 to attacks if they ignore the mark represents the fact that the orc...

As I understand it, the marked condition means that a creature feels specially threatened by one particular creature. Since this ability is most common to Defender players and Soldier monsters, it almost always means "the big armored guy with the huge sword right next to you", so that's the...

Ah, but you are not a Tolkenian hero, are you? All joking aside, I am going to make a recommendation for The Witcher books by polish author Andrzej Sapkowski They are just beggining to be published in English, and I haven't yet read that edition, but the Spanish translation is just...
