Mirtek: Somewhere along the line, I think we've either mis-explained, or you've mis-understood, the Caravan principle. Merchants are not hiring these people. They are going, with or without merchants. The dragonborn, which under the default setting suggestions, are homeless groups of...

I need to see DDI first. And, personally, I think they need to extend the model so that 1 subscription can become 1 host, and a host can support indefinate clients. That way, I can, as DM, pay for my subscription, and use the VTT to distribute maps and tactical information to my whole group...

I was under the impression that Bree and Hobbiton was mostly secluded because Gandalf had suggested Aragaon and the rest of the Rangers keep it that way.

I was specfically thinking of protective wards that require constant vigilance and renewal, etc, not things that would be workable in combat. If we treat magic (As I, personally, always do) as a science, in DND, then somebody doesn't have to understand what they are doing, to make it work...

Check the Native Australian History. They killed off all the Australian Mega-fauna. They survived (Thrived, even) with the highest concentration of deadly creatures in the world. Of course, human history still isn't that great a comparison, because there isn't an animal on the planet that can...

Yes, but that applies to Africans,Inuits and damn near all South American's as well. >.> I think, personally, that the only way WoTC's 'world-as-dungeon' makes senses, is if 'civilised' humanoids make up a substantially smaller section of the worlds biomass and ecology than they do here. Of...

Most PoL aggressors, in my mind, are likely to be competeing humanoid species. There are whole ecology problems, if people make the assumption (Which I've yet to see founded, to be honest) that huge swathes of wilderness are untenable to habitation, due to hostile activity. Its dangerous for...

Confit. Keeping meat under a layer of rendered fat, in a cool/dry place, allows storage for a few months. EDIT: Ooops, you said without salt. NM.

How are you going to be crushing the people who make the advances necessary to move out of the stone age? Specifically, every time somebody tries to create pottery with malachite or or some other crystallised metallic oxide that smelts at about 1000c (In a kiln) then they get copper or other...

Harry Potter had little pre-existing stigmata to overcome. I used to work in, and eventually managed, a Games Workship store. I established dress codes, language codes, exhibition games, training sessions, music codes, etc. I succeded in increasing the traffic by 15%, because I actively...

Well.. Ten, there would have to be something *causing* that malaise. Humans are generally the last things to really notice something strange going on, unless it is particularly quick, as they adapt, change, and if kept busy enough, don't question.

Personally, I'm hopinh WoTC has done away with the horrible idea of making all weapons open to the Martial Weapon Proficiency. Weapon categories from (I can't remember which 2e supplement it was) are a much better, more reasonable idea, IMO. Learn how to use a short-sword? Then all light...

I would disagree that it is close to the defined stunt. It has a similiar mechanical affect, this is true.. But it is heavily situational, required emplacement of creatures in a certain way, and depends on the presence of the table. And, to be honest, I would have this as mini skill-challenge...

I've always ruled it as such. Under 4e, I would, if the mechanic does not already exist, make it based on a Thievery Check vs Reflex, and then have combat advantage attached to it. Potentially, I would rule it against the perception defense, instead... but probably not. I also think that it is...

Heh. Simulationism has never been a strong point of material sciences in the DND worlds. For instance, for 5kgs of copper, you need about 100kgs of charcoal. Huge swathes of european forest was destroyed in order to fuel the 16th century and onwards in iron industries, steel itself still...

I play DND twice a month. 8 of the 12 people I play with play, or have played WoW. 6 of them play WoW with me. Right now, it is unfair to say the systems are competeing. I enjoy the team interactions in WoW, but it is cumbersome and virtually impossible to have meaningfuly character...

Imban - What makes something 'artillery'? A ranger in DND 3e was artillery. A ranger in DND 4e is not. What made the scout the scout? The same thing that makes the 4e ranger *not* artillery.

Go re-check your rules before assumptions. Scouts got Skirmish with ranged and melee.. and the scout was decidedly better off as ranged. A ranger is *not* an archer. Legolas was not an archer. He was somebody that used a bow, sure.. but an Archer is an artillery unit. And no 4e role, except...

I heard a Ranger killed a scout and stole his stuff.
