Now I'm worried. If it's just one guy, is he going to turn out to be a combat badass that can single-handedly scare everyone away from posting?

While I do not want to engage in an extended discussion of the merits and implications of these facts, the statements are themselves admissions that you cannot do with 4E that which you can do with 3.x. Is the reverse true?

Hmm, my point is that it defaults to the ability level and whims of the DM rather than guaranteeing consistent rulings across different campaigns. I would say that successful "rule zero" use speaks to the level of the DM, not the level of the system. When I GMed In Nomine, my first few...

This. I bought a book from them and they didn't send it until 6 months later. I had thought the default was to NOT send a heavily delayed book if I did not reply to their notices.

Thank you. But there are no hefty multipliers and no ways that mounted combat in any way allows you to string together chains of multipliers, as it did in 3.5?

I'm pretty sure if money changed hands and nothing happened, that would be actionable.

Well, it's strange that you've put a game ad in the rules forum. You might get more traffic if you had it moved to the proper forum.

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/goodsAndServices.htm#hirelingTrained For higher level NPCs, you'll probably want to take into consideration the table that increases cost by caster level.

Which ones aren't? I was under the impression that they all were.

After a few hours of travel, Rose, Silhouette, and Gabriel all notice that something is amiss with the surrounding lands. Dark, indistinct shapes move among the bushes in the distance, creeping low to the ground. To ones schooled in the ways of assassination and warfare, their clumsy attempts...

As the clang of the tossed stone resounds through the air, Ainel rises to his feet smoothly, sweeping up his glaive and holding it in a ready stance. He looks quizzically at Thalmarose and sees Dargo whisper to the other elf. "Are there enemies?" he asks softly.

Ack, sorry I haven't put this up yet. I started thinking about whether it would be better for him to have a Warshaper level or a Swordsage level. Either way his Able Learner and Practiced Spellcaster will qualify him for Epic Spellcasting.

So, how's mounted combat in 4E? Have there been any builds to rival the 3.5 charging lance wielders who can deal enough damage to vaporize a planet?

Very interesting. How does it compare to a dedicated striker or dedicated caster? Assuming that ranged combat is unnerfed from its 3.5 state, that sounds workable. FWIW the original point was to compare it to a 3.5 divine oracle cleric (melee, spells, trapfinding/sense motive.) I look...

But it's hardly a merit of the system.

I'm getting that there isn't really a divide between skill checks and Will saving throws. Still, you're leaving it up to the DM to play nice and adjudicate that, aren't you? In 3.x with the beguiler/rogue divide it's hardcoded, so to speak. Furthermore there's no way to fail in 3.x if you...

Hmm, interesting argument. Ultimately only time will tell if your assertion that power will remain in the hands of die-hard gamers is accurate.

Wait, you're me? So human cloning is a success? :uhoh: I acknowledged this, but only if you play with powergamers (as I do, but as many others do not.) In which case it's reasonable to suggest you are probably amenable to a bit of powergaming (or you would find a different group.) Rather...

Yes. In a sense, his criticism might be valid. Remember that a product is the whole thing, image and all. If the packaging of ice cream changes, people report that it tastes sweeter. No product exists in a void. If he dislikes the whole product, and he attributes it to marketing, it's not...
