That's great if you're not a simulationist. A lot of us would consider this a step back and wouldn't consider "plagued" an appropriate description of those editions. D&D has always had quite a bit of simulationism inherent in its structure. When you hear some of us on here saying things like...

That is very interesting because someone posted a response from CS earlier today that said that you get to swap two at 15, three if you have the extended spellbook, but that you are restricted on usage of those powers, only one at a given time. HA! Different answers on rules depending on whom...

I was waiting for a comment like this. But you'll notice in my example that no one actually did fall asleep for longer than a second.... If they did fall down, the ground woke them up. ;)

No Raistlins in this point buy system. And unfortunately, the system is balanced against characters with less than heroic ability scores even more so than 3e. It used to be that having high attributes was something that gave you a bonus. Now it's integral to your success as an adventurer...

Hmmm... I'd focus on either Wis or Str for the +2. I don't believe any cleric powers use Cha as the "to hit" attribute, they're all Wis or Str. The extra +1 won't mean anything if you don't succeed on hitting with the power. Unless of course you wanted the 14 Cha for roleplaying or skill...

Why, when they have customers like us who'll buy the product anyway and then let them know all the errors for free which they may or may not correct with a future printing/errata? I have to say though, that I've seen some kind of error that real proofreading could have fixed in nearly every...

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0135.html This also gives the possible Epic Destiny: Pit Fiend Hunter. Their sting is an at-will attack so they must have a ton of that poison in their bodies. Imagine the money that could be made. Hell, I think maybe I'll just start breeding them.

This is also very amusing considering that KotS has this very flaw built into an early encounter that has thus far resulted in a ton of player deaths and TPKs. Actually, it appears that one of the most common ways to "defeat" this encounter is to actually split it up into two separate ones with...

Yes, the DM. Seriously, eight pages and two days of this? Are there really DMs that would allow this sort of thing? How can anyone have fun with such a pushover?

Since we're on the topic of multi-class feats. I'm going to play a non-rogue/ranger gnome and in order to take full advantage of his racial abilities I'd like to have stealth be trained. I can get that from multiclassing into ranger, which is also a cool concept for the character so I decided...

That's lame. Why not just ask your DM? As long as you don't abuse it I doubt he'd have a problem with it. The other implements don't suffer this handicap. Yeah, they can't be used as melee weapons either, but still. As long as you don't try to attack with your staff or gain any kind of two...

This is directed for those who actually have play experience in 4e, if possible. My first character is going to be a gnome warlord. These are the abilities I was planning on playing. I'm going for the inspiring build. Should I buy an 18 for strength instead and take a hit on the others...

You remained standing? Every time that happened to me or someone else I knew they always either fell over or nodded and then woke up. Marine training here. I mean, were you really asleep, as in you didn't wake back up right away and you just stood there sleeping? I don't think that's...

Fort Knocks? And as for the would-be realtors of wizard towers. One of the best campaigns I ever played in had us turn the emptied out goblinoid caverns we cleared into a thieves guild for us. I even carved a mural at the entrance of our party, complete with comical jabs at the other party...

This is definitely one decision I completely disagree with. But, I guess that's just a personal thing. Maybe it's because one of my regular characters is a cleric/summoner/mystic theurge. There's also a necromancer in that party. But we're experienced gamers and we know how to run things...

Someone sent the help desk an email asking a similar question about a fighter that didn't have the required abilities for a type of armor. The response was that they can wear the armor. It was relatively recent, within the last 24 hours. I don't have search, or I'd find it for you. They give...

Did you read my post? I said nothing about removing the essays. I understand both the necessity and the purpose. I said remove those random generation tables. Yeah, I suggested that a hardness table could be put in the appropriate section in exchange, but such a table would not be random in...

gah! please delete My computer was lagging hard and it got posted three times. I've been having issues with Firefox hanging as well.

Here's another example. I'm pretty sure nearly everyone here would have gladly traded the tables on page 186 for a hardness table. NPC traits and quirks? Come on. I'm sure you'll all have a defense for that as well. But I don't think anyone in here who suggested that the DMs job is to be...
