We have no control over if or when or what gets changed in the online Character Builder. In Character Builder, there is no option for using an earlier version of a rule, and there is no option for using customized house-rules. Also, like neuronphaser, my players only really access the...

The Character Builder is much of the problem, though... A good example is the recent change to "Come And Get It", the 7th Level Fighter encounter power. Our party Fighter has had the power for months and loved it. She didn't know it had been changed until a week ago in the middle of a combat...

For most part, my gaming group and I really like 4E and are having fun playing it. There's just thing that's been getting me (and the rest of my players to one degree or another) down lately... Updates. And in advance, please, forgive my occasional hyperbole. It's likely the frustration...

That's the sort of idea that makes a bad idea feel good about itself.

I'd politely ask her reasons and perhaps briefly try to allay any fears (assuming they were unfounded fears), but I wouldn't push it.

Not unlike Star Wars, I generally put sort superhero stuff into the "science-fantasy" category (the fictional far end of the science-fiction continuum)... Effectively, it's just "magic" that has been been vaguely explained away by a superficial veil of pseudo-science. It's sounds really good...

It's also the standard in many industries and professions for a "count-up" (or count-down)... "One, two, three, GO!" or Three, two, one, GO!" You point three times, beginning with the index finger (or all three: index-middle-ring), adding (or subtracting) a finger for each successive point...

It definitely is an SR-71 (or a prototype of it), but what I don't under is... Why is it upside-down?

You just have to remember that's it's the difference between SCIENCE fiction and science FICTION. Movies, especially super-hero movies, tend to fall toward the latter end of that scale. It's hard to have a problem with a coin (a coin that would hardly respond to magnetic forces in the first...

Yep... "malnourished" was probably a bit of hyperbole, but that's exactly the point I was aiming for. The difference can be seen between my parents (who grew up in large families on poor, rural farms during the Great Depression) and my kids (who are growing up in a small family in modestly...

This is largely a myth. Fish grow to the size they are supposed to be. Given less food and less space, they grow less. But that's mainly due to the fact they are malnourished and living in a cramped, unhealthy environment. But I know from personal experience that fish (not even goldfish)...

Stats are given as follows: AC 5, MV 6”, HD 6, hp 37, #AT 1, D 2-8, all within 6‘ may be hit by 1-4 sharp bristles that do 1-4 points of damage Essentially, it's a big beasty that can shoot quills (more like a porcupine, really, than a hedgehog). The closest thing I've found, stat-wise, is a...

On to rosters for the factions... The "roster" from the original adventure for Aratheas' Mongrelmen was something like this: 81 Mongrelmen 4 Mongrelman Bodyguards 1 Mongrelman Chief 1 Giant Hedgehog Aratheas, Elven Wizardess 4th Edition doesn't have Mongrelmen. In my version of Athas, Orcs...

Next, the factions... The Shruzgrap Gang On the run from the authorities for banditry, they stumbled upon the Forbidden City while hiding out in the mountains. The Tasloi A wild tribe of tree-dwelling halflings have made the city parks their home. Kwairno, the Mad Wanderer An ambitious Wizard...

The first step is the map of zones in the Forbidden City... The majority of the zones correspond to the general encounter areas on the wilderness map that comes with I3. I've renamed some areas to jibe my campaign and its setting, and added in the "Noble's Quarter" and the "Slums" to fill...

The goal will be to convert the 1st Ed. AD&D adventure module I1 - Dwellers of the Forbidden City to 4th Edition using The Angry DM's Slaughterhouse guidelines. This will not be a direct conversion, but will will stay as true as possible to the original version, while adapting it to my "Athas...

For the last ten years, "roe beer" has made an appearance in every single game I've run or played in. Although, "Cameler's Travellodge" is fast becoming our group's new favorite.

I can't even buy the 0 GP starter deck, as I seem to have -1 GP... :confused:

The Power of Knowledge has some great tips for building a 4th Edition wizard. As for armor: Take either Leather Proficiency or Unarmored Agility... It doesn't really make a difference, since you get the same bonus out of each of them. It really just depends on whether your magic armor of...

I would have gotten away with it, too... If it weren't for those meddling kids! :rant:
