ENVY!!! My barbarian got dropped twice in the last game. Our two defenders can't get their act together. One is, granted, the DM's kid and doesn't have enough attention span to remember to mark anything. The other is older than dirt and can't be troubled to read the PHB enough to understand how...

My inner voice calls them "those smacktards" Granted, some of them are playing in their first 4e game, but seriously...

Actually, brutal shifts the average up by .5 per point (per die) A d6 averages 3.5 (1,2,3,4,5,6) A d6 brutal 1 averages 4 (2,3,4,5,6)

It's one thing to poke at the examples given, but its yet another to ignore the point. I figured it was common knowledge at this point that 4e is all about synergies and to speak of racial stat mods independently of racial abilities and racial feats is sheer folly.

It's a related point. Many races are given superior feats to compensate for their inferior stat bonus distributions. E.G. Eladrin soldier training because eladrin make sub-par fighters. Dwarven weapon training because dwarves lack str bonuses, etc. If dwarves could have STR bonuses, then their...

Knight jumps queen! Bishop jumps queen! Pawns jump queen! Gangbang!

Do you also intend to allow any race to take any feats, regardless of race prereqs?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Edit: oh wait, there it is. 5

I find that no matter what the genre, what really matters is what system you and your group are most comfortable with. We've started games in the native game system for the source material several times (Scion, Serenity most recently) and ended up translating our characters to HERO.

Is the problem player 9 years old? I have a similar problem in one of our games.

FWIW, the first time I encountered the phrase "Hey Rube" was in an X-MEN comic. The editor's note explained its use and context.

Ahh yes, I have memories of running off to the dictionary to look up all the words I didn't quite get on that random encounter table... haughty courtesan indeed.

Didn't TSR publish a module with a pregen wizard that was younger than that?

Perhaps one of the shamans could have curiously tanned skin, dark hair and eyes. Assuming your vikings made it to the new world (assuming again that this is an analogue of the real world) then perhaps one of them found an orphan (or caused the child to become one) and took them back when they...

Even so, wizards don't have a monopoly on ritual magic. So this helps little if at all.

I am in a biweekly Serenity game, we tried using the published rules and gave up and converted our characters to Hero 5e.

for what game and edition?

It's entirely possible that the game would have failed to catch on. It's rather like taking a modern football defensive package to the mid 1930s. Many modern football defensive concepts like blitzes, zone blitzes, nickel and dime packages, press coverage and zone coverages were invented to...

Personally, I would rather have Implement Expertise than Action Surge. (although both is pretty awesome) +1 all the time vs +3 once/encounter (at most) I guess it depends on how long you expect the fights will be... If you're playing in a smaller group, you will need to spend a feat on...

A better question: How many people in [insert region] have played a pen and paper roleplaying game in a public location recently? If the publicly announced figures are to be believed, the vast majority of RPG players do so exclusively in private settings and are not likely to be interested in...
