WotC is doing away with the free online rule books. The SRD will only contain references to what is open to 3PP. WotC instead wants you to invest in D&D Insider which will have the rules database. Derek

Thanks Voss. I'm hoping there's a feat or power (encounter?) in the Martial source book that reduces the bluff to a minor action. Of course the Martial book might have a swashbuckler/duelist base class as well. Derek

Couldn't you also take the Sword Master PP instead? I don't have the books soI don't know the difference between the 2 paths. Also, there are rules for bluffing/feinting in combat. Derek

Masturbating doesn't hurt anyone. Illegal downloads cause financial hardships (for probably most but not all IP creators). Teaching empathy and showing that illegal downloads are not something you would want done to your own IP COULD convince others to stop and actually pay someone a fair...

That's a much more interesting argument then what you said previously. I personally don't have a lot of faith in people to morally patronize a piece of IP that they use. I know there are examples of this like Radiohead's new album. I see these as exceptions to the rule. People like free...

Are you saying you would only illegally download from a "big" company but not from a little guy that barely scrapes by? Are you going to audit each company's financial records to make sure your illegal download isn't hurting their bottom line? IMO illegal downloading is a habit and once you...

Before copyright laws, creative people had to find a patron to do creative work. There might have been 1000s of musicians more talented then Mozart who didn't get a chance to show it because of a lack of a patron. Allowing creative people to make a career out of being creative promotes...

I read somewhere the SciFi shows on US network tv don't do well because sponsors don't get a lot of bang for the buck and consequently, networks don't want to run them or cancel them early. SciFi fans are more likely to download the episodes illegally, skip/mute the ads, or just plain ignore...

I'd like to make a point I read on slashdot that sums up the way I feel. There is a difference between finite and renewable resources. Information is renewable i.e. copying doesn't degrade the original. However, the time it takes to create that information is finite i.e. people don't live...

Monsters have darkvision so monster lairs will not have any light. A party approaching with torches will most likely alert the monster, while the deep halfling approaching with darkvision will be less likely to alert the monster. Derek

But not Combat Advantage as in 3.X? Thanks, Derek

I believe someone stated that gargantuan encompasses all larger creatures and tiny encompasses all smaller creatures. No big deal. Derek

I'd be interested in knowing how dragons are displayed in the MM. Are they created/built like in 3.x MM or are they stat'd out explicitly? Are there rules to build custom dragons? Derek

I plan on converting Birthright to 4E since it already has that PoL feel to it. I'll have to come up with rules for blood powers but it shouldn't be too hard. Derek

Or you can wait 10 days. There's something to be said for delayed gratification. Especially if delaying means supporting my FLGS which is the case for me. Derek

Thanks RC-X.

I asked this yesterday but didn't see a response. Can someone list the special actions in the combat chapters (i.e. bull rush, grab, trip, disarm etc.). I specifically want to know if you can feint in combat like you could in 3E. Thanks, Derek

If it works like 3E then going from 13 to 14 is still one point. That means going from 10 to 18 is worth 14 points but going from 8 to 18 is 16. Derek

Can you feint in combat and if so how does it work? If you have time could you list the special maneuvers in the combat chapter like grapple, trip, disarm etc. Derek

Can you give us a list of monster templates in the DMG and expand a bit more on the DM's Toolbox? Derek
