    Pathfinder 1E Lisa Stevens, CEO of Paizo, commenting about ENWorld

    I normally limit myself to the general threads and during the transition it was a bit of an unbearable beast to want to post something for 3e onlt to be drowned out by 4e stuff. Once he switched 4e to its own thread it was a lot better. Now, it seems 3e and 4e share a general forum and just...

    Have you run and/or played in a 3e/3.5 game with no rogue?

    Someone has the list of spells somewhere. They kept it just in case I wasn't paying attention in the future or to abuse another unaware DM. I'll see if I can dig it up. It pretty much blew up the game.

    Have you run and/or played in a 3e/3.5 game with no rogue?

    I DM'ed a few games where people didn't want to play a rogue/thief. Next to the cleric it seems like the class that peole don't want to play unless no one else does. The campaigns went fine. I never altered traps or DC or anything and they always managed just fine. In the last campaign we...

    Are rogues marginalized by magic?

    Oops, my bad, I overlooked that. Still, as others pointed out in more detail already, there are plenty of ways for a wizard to detect and disarm traps with magic, even 3.5 magic.

    Are rogues marginalized by magic?

    Depends on the edition. The question was if magic marginalized the rogue, not edition 3.5 or higher magic made the rogue weaker. From the 1st edition AD&D players handbook: Find Traps (divination) Level:2 Range: 3" Duration: 3 turns Area of Effect: 1" path Components: V,S Casting Time: 5...

    Are rogues marginalized by magic?

    It doesn't, usually, in mine either. However, I think if you take the core rules from any edition (well, I don't know enough about 4e to make that claim for it) that you will find magic does become the great equalizer. Your individual tastes as a DM and/or player aside, it is hard to say...

    Are rogues marginalized by magic?

    So, let me get this straight. Rogues aren't marginalized because they can use magic? Hmm, where did they get the magic? :D

    Are rogues marginalized by magic?

    Not true, well, depending on edition. A "rogue" who is a rogue would need to be about 20th or so level to compare to the abilities of a "rogue" who was actually a wizard and geared his spells towards being the party Rogue. It doesn't even take that many spells for the wizard to replace the...

    Are rogues marginalized by magic?

    I disagree. There is a magic spell that will do anything a rogue can do and it can do it better. How useful is a rogue when you can cast a find traps spell? How can a rogue compare his hide skill with invisibility? How can a rogue out sneak a silence spell. Magic can do anything a rogue can...

    Dragon Roots Magazine DIDN'T sell the 4e Killed Gary shirts

    * sigh * No, I am not. I meant it as in, “find the location and deploy you, and/or team of like minded individuals, in a tactical strike through the use of a parachute to sneak in behind enemy lines to assault the enemy,” like Bravo company during World War II. Given your previous bravado I...

    Dragon Roots Magazine DIDN'T sell the 4e Killed Gary shirts

    Interesting. I hardly think it is proof enough to airlift Ranger REG into combat though;) Okay, I am teasing if you couldn't tell. The thread is getting a little serious and I feel I have to make that clear:.-(

    Dragon Roots Magazine DIDN'T sell the 4e Killed Gary shirts

    See, that is the problem that a lot of people ran into. The people who didn't stop by heard things from a second source and blew it out of proportion. You weren't there, so allow me to explain it a bit. We didn't show the memorial service to draw people in, we showed it as a sign of respect...

    Dragon Roots Magazine DIDN'T sell the 4e Killed Gary shirts

    You can dance a jig all you want, I don't care. But it is rude to do it during his funeral. Tell all the Gary jokes you want behind our backs, but don't express those feeling in a room full of friends, family, co-workers and admirers. I bet you wouldn't dance a jig against Regean during a...

    Hey, I dig that multi quote option. That is really cool.

    Dragon Roots Magazine DIDN'T sell the 4e Killed Gary shirts

    Well, okay, it just seemed as if you didn't want people to get upset about it. That is what sucks about e-mails and forums, it is hard to get a feeling of what is being said without a voice behind it. Anyway, I think that your concern about people wanting to lynch and beat people is mostly...

    Dragon Roots Magazine DIDN'T sell the 4e Killed Gary shirts

    I have to chime in here. Dr. Martin Luther King or JFK or Pope John Paul II or Ronald Reagan were not personal friends, they were not family or even co-workers. Are you saying that because of this I had no right to feel greif when Pope John Paul II or Ronald Reagan passed away? Is it okay...

    Did Keep on the Shadowfell result in a TPK for your group?

    I actually played through this one instead of DMed. That was a very hard fight as we had both waves come at us too. We only survived for two reasons, one, as the party wizard I knew it was do damage to the party with my spells too or they would take more damage from the tons of kobolds in the...

    Dragon Roots Magazine DIDN'T sell the 4e Killed Gary shirts

    Someone linked to that thread earlier. In that thread it was mentioned half way through, not in relation to us, that someone was selling those shirts with, "4e killed Gary." A few people miss read this and thought it actually said we did sell the shirts and proceeded to tell me thier...

    Dragon Roots Magazine DIDN'T sell the 4e Killed Gary shirts

    Being one that doesn't always come across as intended in e-mails and posts (I'm referring to myself, not you) I would have to say that I can see why they put that on the front page of the ENWorld forums. I can also understand why people need to know. Everyone loves a good mystery. If for no...

    What products do you wish WotC would re-do?

    Ditto, but also make them part of the OGL or the GSL or the WECITF (what ever they call it in the future) :)
