But that is not what the scenario says: the scenario says you can get from point A to point B using a methods a, b, or c; but not method d. The scenario never says they have to get to point B (in fact, it is specifically cautioned against) only that getting to point B will eventually make...

Remember Leonidas' reaction to being intimidated? He didn't even bother sending back the heads. . . He knew he was not more powerful than Xerxes and his army - that was not the issue.

The example does not say "the Duke cannot be intimidated". The example says that each attempt to intimidate the Duke makes him less likely "to provide reasonable assistance to the characters." (ie: gaining the benefit of succeeding at the challenge). Again, it is a general template for a skill...

The Dragonborn fly; Worlds shatter; Cherry blossoms fall - Spring's gentle snow.

Fantastic analysis! Thanks for the effort. I question the use of Recharge with a class power - this is not something we have seen before. Also, I would think that the reduction would be influenced by the recharge rate. A recharge of 4,5,6 is much more reliable than a recharge 6, for...

Maybe it would be better to say that it drives Editors mad - as my wife (and apparently, Cam) would heartily attest.

I think we should spell it pwnicar - now that sounds bad-a$$. Or maybe more-than-just-i-car. Heck, let's evolve the language some more and call them Corvettes. . .

In the last latest book in that series, said character also talks about the difficulties of using magic while on a boat (ie when surrounded by water and out of contact with the earth). Very well constructed world with a consistent sense of "what magic is".

It also says "target" because you roll attacks vs each target seperately in 4e.

You can call that a lot of things, but "balanced" that isn't :)

That is my suspicion. As for the "Magic Items and Monsters" debate, let me throw my take into the ring: Monsters are given certain bonuses at each level. We do not worry about where they come from because, ultimately, they aren't important. Whether it was a Racial Weapon Training ability, a...

baberg: you are one sick, sick individual. Thank heavens I am not the only one!

No one said the Arcane Power source wouldn't have powers that are illusions - just that the Shadow Power source would be better at them or focus on them or do them better.

Am I the only one who gets the whole 'Sinbad sailing off the edge of the world to get to Tartarus' vibe from this? (from the animated Sinbad, of course. . .)

((never mind - Rex got there 1st. . . ))

Why is this an issue? The rules on charge from the big D&D Expo read: 1) You can take 2 run actions and move twice your move +4 squares and you don't have to move in a straight line, why should charge be different than running? Should you be able to run in a circle, but not charge in one...

Pretty much what D'karr said. . .

The Mulan scene is supported: the prisoners were minions.

I loved the article and the art - I only picked/poked at the sentence because my wife is an Obsessive Compulsive English Major who edits theses for PhD candidates. I see sentences like that one all the time :) I like the noun-noun naming, too. A lot safer (for publication) than...
