I agree with the principle that every commoner will try to maximize his chance of suvival. However i completely disagree that an axe is the best way for him to do it. In my opinion your average low to non skilled commoner in a world where regular healing might not be effective or reachable and...

Okay i will up front since theres so much controversy. I hate 3x. i like D20 i just hate everything beyond core and a handful of books that WoTC did with it. The basic mechanic is simple and elegant in my opinion. Now saying that i can say i loathe 3x and had stopped playing it for years. In...

is there any word on how grapple is gonna work?

Brothers grim err land. My first campaign i plan to use the feywild and points of light concept to thier fullest. The towns and villages that are all far apart are the remnants of an older empire that fell to civil war and humanoid invasion centuries ago leaving no organized government in its...

But thats not whats neccesarily happening when u trip someone. Sure u might be trying to trip another warrior or a fanged and or clawed monster. But u might also be trying to trip a drunk apprentice wizard in a bar fight. Or a grieving peasant who blames your character for some real or...

See i was also in the army and i am quite confident that i can attempt to trip an opponent at will. But it wasnt from army training, i believe the basic sweep was mastered about 4 sessions into my yellow belt training, when i was 6. Now i am not saying that i can successfully trip an...

You can explain anything, doesnt make it any less rediculous to say u can only try to trip somebody if your character has devoted all his life to fighting. It just makes it a rediculous explanation. I dont know where your getting that # from but the monsters they posted i see the same 1d4...

I hadnt heard that. Maybe its not as bad as it looks on the surface then.

Drat, lol and i thought i finally fit into a gaming caste. Oh well guess i have to deal with individuality for another day.

See that brings up something else i have seen that i dont like. Things like bullrush or trip being class specific abilities rather then tactical options for anyone. While i do like that they arent going completely anime with the powers, i dont like taking basic options away from people either...

I have been playing since 2e, so i guess that makes me a grognard, although i dont think 4e looks that bad. I think the new cosmology is cooler, simpler and makes alot more sense, especially the devil/demon divide. Having a home for fey creatures is a cool touch too, i can allready see using...

I thought encounters were supposed to be faster in 4e? From what i have seen so far weapons all do about the same damage, so at 1d8 with an average of 4 a character without much of a STR bonus would need to hit this guy 7 times, for a first level monster. Thats completely rediculous, even...

Cool, lots of good ideas here. thanx all, i should definately be able to make whatever i want fairly economically now.

Thanx guys, I'll check those out. Hadnt even thought of heroquest in years, lol probablly not since i had the game in middle school. Didnt know people still played it.

Hi guys, i have been running games for a while now, but never really used terrain tiles or miniatures much. But i recently bought some of the WOTC gaming tiles packs and found the added depth to my combats so i am gonna try it. Now heres the rub though, at 9$ a pack and not that many tiles...
