I find it strange WotC hasn't made item cards yet. Would be cool to be able to buy Adventurer's Vault XX in card form, or maybe just have lines of booster packs. I would eat that up. With money.

Indeed, if it was for any ritual, it would have just said, "you can perform one ritual per day," instead of "one bard ritual per day." The text before that in the PHB2 makes it especially clear to me:

I love that the displacement goes away when you hit it, for a turn. It's a cool mechanic and it's an interesting narrative component: I imagine an arrow sticking into 'thin air' with blood dripping out sort of revealing the displacer beasts 'true' position, until its turn where it rips it out...

I read what you are writing. Sorry if I misinterpreted the meaning behind the 'stupid' statement, but I don't know why you're saying I'm not reading what you're writing. Maybe there is a little bit of emotion coming into the discussion, so I'm going to back down after a couple points: If the...

At least one person in this thread have tried it and liked it. Some people thought it was bad. Call them 'not sensible' all you want, but I think you'll find the opposite. And a wizard would know that I imagine, in-game. The wizard wouldn't know it does 1d6 level per 'caster level' exactly, but...

I have no idea how to pitch this idea; just describe it and they either like it or don't, just like any game or pitch. I'm probably not really answering you, but I'm not at 100% understanding. You roleplay any of those things by describing it. Roleplay isn't limited to what your character says...

In theory, the players of this game won't care about the mechanical effects. They care about their character filling the niche they want them to fill. As long as the character is an "armored dude wielding faith," he wouldn't care about being a cleric or a paladin or whatever. You're right, if...

Based on the original post, he didn't say that the DM would have to guess at what class the PC starts as, just that players would have to actively role play the classes they want to level up in. As far as the exact build of the starting class, that's an interesting question. If I was doing this...

Not that they don't know the rules, just that they aren't actively part of the game. When you say you swing the sword, the DM narrates how you hit or missed. As opposed to rolling the d20, asking if the number hit, and then rolling damage. In both cases the rules are applied, in the first case...

It seems like what people want is an offline program that can view and edit their characters. Anyone have thoughts on how it could work? Maybe very limited capabilities, like only a few characters can be loaded at a time, but for those characters you can look at all the rules those characters...

"1. Sometimes a choice must be made between me getting what I want or Katrina getting what she wants. 2. When this happens, Katrina gets what she wants. 3. I do this because I'm a man. I won't settle for second best when there's a choice. 4. Not putting my True Love's wants ahead of mine is a...

I would give Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay a try. I bought (well, received for Christmas) the most recent edition box set, by Fantasy Flight Games, and found it an interesting alternative to D&D. The dice are without a doubt the best part of the game. In my opinion, I can fluff any game to be...

I have / had pretty much the same issue. The GF said she would rather our kids (which we have none of (yet?) we're in our early 20's) do other things with their time, notably play basketball and maybe other sports, but she likes basketball. While I don't have the same opinion, that basketball...

First off, welcome to the board! Secondly, as a general rule, I would suggest scaling back the encounters scaling up if a player doesn't show or a new player shows up. Or running the missing player's character, perhaps as a companion character, if you're devoted to the verisimilitude of monster...

Yeah, exactly, I think. You're running around fighting normally, but your arms are down, your sword is down until you swing, shield is down. You still have your AC (sans combat advantage), but your enemies can easily exploit your weaknesses because you aren't guarding yourself at all. EDIT...

Eldritch bolt is ranged and Soul Eater is melee. Not exactly interchangeable. I'd use them both in different situations. Obryn Yeah, eldritch bolt is completely bland.

Obryn The Pact weapon doesn't appear to be magical, it's stated to use the enhancement bonus of the implement you are using. I don't like the Infernal at-will. Necrotic damage has to be one of the worst damage types to deal; very few things are vulnerable (are any?) and tons of things are...

Freebirds or Chipotle? Freebirds is great because there are more different things you can put in your burrito. Chipotle is good because they have barbacoa as a choice of meat. Argh, so hungry. Also, those aren't just Texas things... right?

Don't let this guy get too close (notice the speed and trait.) Theme: Pumpkin Children When the children came back in from the pumpkin fields, something was wrong. When I finally saw what they were, it was too late. My boy, my Jack, and his friends had a pumpkins covering their heads and their...
