That begs the question of why all Hobgoblin Archers are historians. Too bad that OOTS isn't upgrading to 4e, because that would be an amusing strip.

I knew somebody was going to call me on this. I have not, in a life or death situation, which I described. But, I have been friends with, talked at length, and trained under and with several men who have. And if there is one thing that is ingrained into USMC close combat training, it is that...

Please stop with the "if you don't like it then play another system" comments you keep posting in every thread. They're as inane and useless as saying "if you don't like the government move to Canada." And applying half level to ALL ability checks is not a corner case, it's an entire class of...

Nothing against competitive wrestling, but in real life or death combat you don't have that luxury. 100% is required at all times. That's not to say that you are constantly on the attack.... Not that D&D should model that at all. Just sayin'.

Wasn't hardness in 2e as well? I don't feel like going and finding my books to look it up. Anyway, this thread probably needs this: http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=680

I refer you to page 40 of the 3.0 DMG. And that system was very easily converted to 3.5.

Well, I guess that door's not getting knocked down then.

I think you're missing the point. It's a power with the Implement keyword yet it uses weapon damage. If it does weapon damage, surely it should have weapon as a keyword.

You'll just have to wait for the Ranged Divine splat book to come out, that's all. A lot of 4e design reminds me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zrpx4NAtsFQ

Some of the people in here are saying that it's okay that the PCs fail more than half the time if there is little penalty for it. That you could make it so that succeeding at a SC gives them some sort of bonus. Are you still going to give them full XP if they fail? Imagine a session...

This, exactly this. It's been repeated over and over again. And also, like he said, what about low level parties without access to these powers and items? So maybe the system isn't as broken as it was made out to be. It's still at least broken as far as low-levels and complexity is...

Ok, fine, that explains healing surges. Now, when you woke up the next day after you broke your ankle, was it completely healed? Damnit! Why'd you have to ruin it for me? I've been looking forward to that movie for the past 3000 years.

This is my last response on this, I don't want to drag it out any longer. I would have taken it to PMs but I don't have a paid account. I was comparing one absurd statement with another to show that the first was absurd. I was comparing the act of placing the blame on one thing. I wasn't...

Hey, I passed up the opportunity to take Scale Armor Proficiency to take Skill Training in Conceit, don't make me regret it.

Just because someone doesn't agree with someone else doesn't mean that they aren't listening to what they're saying. I didn't know my wife had an account on here. He's obviously listening, he posted immediately before you. And he's also had some "discussion" in the thread as well.

I wasn't being funny. I was being dead serious. And did I say there was anything wrong with that? They are a business, are they not? Are you telling me that profit is not one of the goals of releasing this new edition? If it's not, I'm sure Hasbro would like to hear about it. Do you think...

Isn't that the whole point of alignment to begin with?

No, I did not. And I shouldn't have to explain why. If I were to say comparing apples to oranges is like comparing airplanes to automobiles, would you then accuse me of comparing oranges to automobiles? Or perhaps: Saying that dragonborn females should have breasts is like saying that dwarven...

The quote I was responding to was about previous editions. My entire response was also about previous editions, except for my last sentence. Hence, "4e has the same problem with..." Obviously, that 4e utility power didn't exist in those previous editions.

Wonderful!! Not rude at all. Even though I didn't plan this as a context, I can see how you might think of it that way. Now, can you find the other nine? Unfortunately, I don't have any prizes to give out.
