I love WAR's work. I'd like to see higher resolution images of the PHB, MM, and DMG though before deciding what I think about them.

Doesn't bother me. I like the idea of a new edition, but also like 3.5. My 3.5 game will likely remain 3.5 and I will start up a separate 4.0 game. I'll probably fully transfer over when the 3.5 game ends...at least that is the way I see it happening.

A virtual online DDM game would actually be right up my alley. I have little desire to play actual D&D online (though I won't rule the possibility out), but I'd have more interest in playing the miniatures game online.

BOOM! In truth, the wizard boards do have a huge thread on the subject. I'm fond of the duskblade myself as it fills the role of arcane fighter mage fairly well without having to do anything crazy. The ways you can do this are pretty huge. If you are looking for that nature flair I would...

4. It's a penalty and does not stack with itself. The strongest one would apply.

A small bump, to try against the wave of 4E.

I want to see more like the hobgoblins of Monster Manual V. They had unique abilities and a very defined role. They were more than just hobgoblins with levels of PC classes tacked on.

I'm not sure what I think about the spell. On one side It's 4th level, a ranged touch attack dealing 13d6 damage, with a fortitude save for half damage. Having both a touch attack and saving throw is unusual, but o well. So far, the spell is looking pretty reasonable. It does the extra 3d6...

So last night the group was playing through another session of my "Pirates" game. The PC's are currently in a large port city, originally having come there to look for some lost crew that they heard with in a pretty rough spot. They'd had some dealings with some of the local political powers and...

I think I might have a talk with the party spellcasters and bring about this change.

That's actually what made me post the thread. One of the opponents of the PC's has one of these spells as well as some metamagic capability. Things will be interesting I'm sure.

Blast you cursed fingers and eyes.... I'll eventually be able to go a post without an error - someday. The sorcerer in my game has the Orb of Frost spell but hasn't used it yet. To me they seem on the strong side of spells but I'm not quite willing to call them broken - at least on paper.

I just noticed KarinsDad's signature which says: What does everyone think about the orb line of spells? If you feel they are to powerful, do you ban them out right or modify them? I have not had a problem with them myself.

I don't really feel there is a need for an excuse. Classes are a metagame concept. People can cast spells, or they can't. People pray to their god and he answer's their prayers - or he doesn't, and people can shape shift into wild animals - or maybe not. The characters background and his...

I find myself going the other way Thurbane. I use to be one to "tweak" all my characters and NPC's alike but now days I find it easier to just think up characters and then jot down basic stats later that seem to fit at least well enough. One thing I don't mind as a DM is rampant multiclassing...

Each creature hit by the burst takes 10d6 fire damage and catches on fire, as does the targeted area. In the following round any creature that was hit by the initial 10d6 damage or who has since moved into the area of effect takes 5d6 fire damage. Thus, the max damage becomes 15d6 - 10d6 in the...

In some of our games we drop class skills all together, and just take what we feel is appropriate for the character. It really hasn't been much of an issue as there is a fair amount of multiclassing going around and the roguish types tend to take able learner as a feat.

Wouldn't this result in the players creating all their items at a high discount? I just keep thinking, If there is no drawback to it why stop? Now, it'd be easy enough to cut back on treasure if the PC's started to get to far above wealth guidelines but it seems like a lot of extra trouble for...

Bestow Greater Curse (Spell Compendium) gives the option of reducing one of the target's ability scores to 1. For strength, dexterity, and constitution the effect is fairly obvious. How about the mental stats? I figure it's got to be more debilitating than simply getting a penatly to some skill...

I haven't seen them in play, but I don't see how either one is terribly powerful.
