    Its not a lot of money, but just like in the UK its the same amount as one of the core books. Now given what you get with a core book and what you get with the module there is an argument to be made. I personally am not buying it because I wont be able to run it and is of no use to me, but if...

    Excerpt: Archons (merged)

    See the key thing is that they are elementals. They are essentially domesticated elementals turned mercenaries with the fall of the perimordials.

    Simulationists, Black Boxes, and 4e

    I actually thought about it the other way in that black boxes were crunch and process-response was fluff. Black boxs is the ends where the process-response is the means. Either way its a great analogy.

    I thought the attack type surrounded by a circle was a basic attack.

    Excerpt: Archons (merged)

    What I got from hongs post was that its their intent, not their actions that define alignment. In other words orcs are CE not because they are ravagely chaotic and evil creatures (using definitions, not the label CE), but because their intent is to be chaotic and evil creatures in that they...

    So fluff vs crunch. But yeah, I completely agree. Great post.

    BTW, I just want to make it clear that I wasnt aiming my post at you, but towards the argument.

    But the argument for the necessity is that the first book is gimped. My point is that the first books isnt gimped and that you are getting a fully fledged product and expecting anything more on the basis of "I want it" is ludicrous. EDIT: There is nothing what so ever that requires you to buy...

    Does 288 and 300 (heck, even call it 200 assuming they count two orcs as separate monsters, etc.) monsters for $25 sound like a gimped product? Seriously, if you are going to judge something, judge the entire product.

    When did you enjoy 3.x?

    I have never enjoyed 3.x. Admittedly I a only started to play D&D a couple of years ago and have only ever played 3.x, but I still never enjoyed it. Why then do I play D&D? I play it because I enjoy playing with my friends. The whole aspect of 3.x was generally the worst part of our...

    Excerpt: Minions. Go forth mine minions! Bring havoc with your 1 hp [merged]

    I disagree. I think it depends on the fluff. First let me set some ground rules. Fluff wise, IMO, there are two types of minions. Minions that you know are minions, and minions that you dont know are minions. If you are an epic level fighter and you are about to face a bunch of extremely...

    Excerpt: Minions. Go forth mine minions! Bring havoc with your 1 hp [merged]

    The biggest issue with the argument at hand is that people are trying to fit a meta game aspect of the game into the world part of the game. If you are going to complain about minions then you must also complain about every other aspect of D&D that is meta game based (which comes out to pretty...

    As long as its minions and not just a single minion. They would actually come in pretty handy either distracting a ranged monster for a couple of rounds, or using them in melee to provide combat advantage for the front line fighters.

    But you could charge. As I understand it a charge is a move and a basic attack in one standard action with a +1 to hit. So it would be move, move and attack. EDIT: However I did find this in the PrRC So I guess you cant charge then port, but I cant find anything about attacking and then...
