Yeah, I was thinking of doing some similar things. There just has to be some restriction on this for me, otherwise, where's the real threat? I like the ritual idea. That way, any character could do it, provided they have Ritual Casting, and there could be some matieral component cost...

Because you're impatient.

He only posted the link to the one Dungeon article. Look around, sheesh. Is it that difficult? http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drfe/20080606b

Blame spellcheck. No one actually proofreads any more. There were at least two errors, probably more, in KotS. One was at the very beginning. "As the adventure begins, the player characters find themselves traveling down a road that hasn't been maintained in nearly a hundred years ago." I...

Make them all Magma Beasts?? EDIT: Site is really lagging for me, I had typed this before the last guy. ;) A combat entirely populated by minions is essentially handing out XP. I would never recommend that. Minions, by definition, are not supposed to be stand alone creatures. And, while...

Ummm... couldn't you just print them in b&w, or copy and paste the text into a word processor?

What if your ally is an earth elemental, or a gelatinous cube, huh, what then Mr. Smarty Pants? :D

Do you mean REAL fighting experience? As in, if I lose I die? Or are you referring to competitive boxing/mma matches, some dumb bar fight, or the like? Because most D&D fights mimic the former, not the latter. Because your argument doesn't hold water in the first case. Although, your second...

Actually, if you do the math even further, yes the d4s do explode more often, but it's a d4 that is exploding.... If you work it all the way out, the d12 will do more damage even though it explodes less often. Granted the difference is only about .5 per attack on average.

Are there any openings in your campaign?

Anyone want to take a shot at a gnome warlord? That's the first character I plan to play when I get the chance. I think I'm going to go charisma based even though the stereotype for gnomes would probably be tactical. Heh, this combo just makes me think of gnome titans.

You were running 1st level PCs, right? Because when you start multiplying encounter levels I'd imagine things would get all kinds of messed up. The system isn't built that way. Obviously a 20th level encounter will kill a 10th level party. A 6th level encounter versus a 3rd level party, not...

I like this best out of all the above suggestions. Definitely with the class templates, I'd be a little more weary about the other ones, especiallly at low levels. As you said, this effectively makes them "elite", so they should be the equivalent of two characters.

Yes, I understand this concept. HPs are an abstraction. Even more abstract in 4e than 3e. I still don't like it, and it seems a huge stretch even for a fantasy game. But that's just my opinion, and I know I'm not the only one that has it.

So, we have to buy a splat book to play against stereotype? That's wonderful! Why? Because you don't agree with it? No, seriously, why is that a stupid argument? I think it happens to be more true than false. Maybe not WoW, specifically. But there is definitely a more video gamey feel to...

Who finds them thematically popular? No one I know does. That's nothing against those that do, I just don't get it. And why include them, but not the aasimar?

What's that saying about a pot and a kettle? Anyway, I don't recall people falling asleep or resting for several hours and then being like brand new in those works of fiction. That's what the guy you were replying to was talking about. Please explain why a healing potion doesn't work, yet...

Yeah, that's the funny part, the healing potion no longer does anything for you, but if you take a nap for a few hours you'll be completely fine.

You shouldn't have to buy PHB2 for that. You shouldn't have to buy anything besides the core books in order to play a complete, well-rounded game. Despite this, I wouldn't be surprised if they front loaded anything. They're in the business of making money after all.

You've got some good kids there! You can just reward them by adding another piece of valuable treasure in later on. Also, you could have Kalarel(sp) make some kind of angry comment about them stealing "his" mirror during the final confrontation. That'll make them feel good about their...
