    Silly general D&D rules question

    It gives +2 on both attack roles & damage.

    D&D 4E 4e Monster Manual excerpt

    Monsters are the reason characters who aren't "commoners" exist, where else do the NPCs PCs associate come from? They aren't getting levels from surpassing the challenges of farming. Monsters just mean the masses need protection, from I guess heroes, who generally have some levels that don't...

    D&D 4E From the 4e MM preview: Astraljamming?!

    Take a look in the equipment section of the PHB again. They're mixing tools and devices from the classical period to the rennaisance. Romans built grain ships that topped 1000 tons, the Chinese built 400 foot long Junks with eight masts, the greeks built quinquiremes with a crew of more than a...

    May Movies - What do you want to see MOST?

    Cannot... resist... power armor... must see.... Iron Man. I've been waiting ever since the first ComicCon teaser and I'm totally psyched about the movies this summer. First Iron Man, then Indy, then Batman and Hellboy. It's going to be a good summer for the local theatre.

    D&D 4E From the 4e MM preview: Astraljamming?!

    And this time they should be a reasonable size as well. The few examples from 3e were done poorly and tended to be on the small side. Maybe when they're doing ships they could you know actually go look up some RL resources to at least get them close to the right size, instead of capping them...

    D&D 4E Should 4e convert to metric?

    Indeed to go along with our non-conformist Imperial measurements I also propose we adopt a duodecimal number system. Let's see the Euros convert THAT to metric;)

    How Are You Passing the Time Until June?

    It is a bass with a large mouth, as opposed to the kind with small mouths. Though I prefer catfish during warm weather as you don't have to be mostly sober to catch them. Bass Largemouth Bass Smallmouth Bass Only if people have been dumping things in the river they shouldn't. There are ways to...

    D&D 4E Should 4e convert to metric?

    :lol: Yeah and we still haven't forgotten 1812, down with the Queen. While we're at it down with the French for instigating that whole impressment fiasco that kicked it off. :lol: Ouch, she should have known how that would go over in our public school system.

    How important is size?

    Somehow I expected to see that show up ;) I'd say go for it, it doesn't seem to be as large an advantage in 4e as 3e and there were a couple races or templates that acquired it in 3e with a +1LA. Since all 4e races are effectively +1LA then I don't see a problem.

    Children of the Earth

    Galeb Duhr are in MM2 though if you want a PC race you'll need to tone down the power. If it's an NPC race they're fine as is.

    D&D 4E Should 4e convert to metric?

    What he said. If the Euros want Metric they can write their own game system :P From my perspective at least the metric system has a purpose and uses in science. But in the real world Imperial units tend to be more convenient and easily dealt with. Most all the imperial units are far easier...

    April 2008 - What are you playing?

    Currently: Perfect World (MMO) Dawn of War (saw it for $4 in a clearance bin and picked it up) Overlord (infinite replay value-burning peasant burn) My rig is on its last legs and couldn't play anything new anyway. So I don't really bother picking up a lot anyway.

    D&D 4E 4e Monster Manual excerpt

    Thing is that's exactly what you would have looked at in every previous edition of D&D, level has always been more important than numbers once you get to a difference of 5 or more. I'm pointing out that this is a flat reversal of one of the features of D&D that has been constant for decades. An...

    D&D 4E 4e Monster Manual excerpt

    In any previous edition of D&D an 8th level difference was a TPK barring extremely unlikely circumstances of luck, tactics, or hopefully for the players both. I'm just looking at this and thinking the power curve has been massively reduced and it could be too big a cut. There was a thread a...

    D&D 4E 4e Monster Manual excerpt

    I have to say that their examples are... uninspiring. I don't really see any interesting powers at all and what they do have are anemic. I have the feeling that we may discover in their attempt to fix the math and extend the sweet spot they've compressed the power curve too much. A level 8...

    Here's the new d20 logo

    Looks retro in a bad way. Couldn't they have just had a d and a d20 showing a 20?

    Forbidden Kingdom-What Do You Think?

    I've been seeing some trailers over the last couple days for a fantasy/wuxia-comedy called Forbidden Kingdom starring Jacky Chan & Jet Li. Trailers here Don't really know what the plot is supposed to be about. But what with the telekinetically flung swords, attacks that smash the landscape...

    Non paladin Special Mounts

    There was a feat on one of the old WoTC site web expansions that gave an animal companion. Think it was called Wild Companion or something like that, I know it started with Wild.

    How traffic lights affect my iPod

    Not the iPod THE CAR KIT. All unlicensed transmitters made to comply with FCC regs must be certified not to cause interference and to accept any interference from licensed higher powered transmitters. If he looks on the car kit there should be an FCC sticker probably on the bottom or inside...
