The books will be remaining on the shelf. I wouldn't call six books much of a collection though. cheers

Something like a stormsoul. Or perhaps a stormsoul/earthsoul. Not particularly impressed with the picture. While not bad, it's just way too static and the colorization/lightning pattern doesn't really work for me. cheers

A trait of magic items with conjuration effects, or just a case of weird formatting (either in the preview or more generally; same thing about the range and duration)? Would've been cool as a Healing Surge item, but just requiring the one and being daily? I don't know. cheers

Aw, no more free dragon for me. I have to admit, the price point seems more reasonable, but it's still not for me. cheers

I was going to go for a total of four gods for my next campaign. They were not to be worshipped much by humans et al, because they are mostly malign and strange entities. Now I am envisioning them to be more like demonic overseers who came to power when the world ended (read: the previous party...

In the same place as the level 4 version and the equally nonsensical level 19 version. It's funny when you can sell a magic item (for a fifth of its value), and with that money buy 125 identical ones. cheers

My only real experience with second edition was indirectly, through computer games and novels, as the one campaign I was going to play in never got off the ground. Since third edition's come out I've been playing that regularly. cheers

I don't have links, and I'll admit I haven't paid very close attention because I never had any hope for the thing to begin with, but off the top of my head there's two things. They made a big deal out of the free (or cheap) digital versions of any book you purchase, along with other goodies. And...

In its entirety, minus the things that have officially been canned already? Never. cheers

I don't particularly like the GSL, but I don't think WotC is 'wrong' about it. It may or may work for them, but either way it does not directly affect me in an appreciable manner so I won't go passing judgement. The only third party material that has actually seen use in our group were adventure...

I design encounters as a solid 3, but I guess I might be running them as something closer to 5 a bit too often. Whether published adventure or homebrew, the PCs are constantly challenged, perhaps a little too much. I'm going to try a gentler touch with the new campaign slated to start soon...

Keep in mind that the sleep spell imposes two different conditions - slowed and unconscious - and you can only apply the orb of imposition effect on either one of those. So you can't rely on it putting an enemy to sleep and it staying there without fail, though of course even one round of...

I did play a cleric for all of, I think, two sessions once, and have played a wizard through Slaughtergarde plus a little extra (and am currently playing one in a 4E conversion of Anauroch: The Empire of Shade). A lot of characters had one or two levels in fighter, but I wouldn't say that...

Arcane reach doesn't work this way. It changes the origin square of the power, not where you are considered to be, so in this example, given these positions, the slaad would not even be pushed into the wall once, much less three times. cheers

Of course, the DDI character genererator may never be released, but what happened to the cards you were supposed to be able to print out through it? cheers

While I would agree that a controller is not essential, after playing my 18th level wizard/divine oracle, I'd say that he does have his uses. Sleep pretty much won us a fight before it got started, stoneskin enabled the paladin to stand toe to toe against a dragon while he himself was...

You might get more use out of it if you're willing to get into flanking position and drawing an OA hurts the enemy more than it hurts you. This works best with an infernal warlock who is not only tough but usually also has a buffer of temporary hit points. I've only played through fist level...

Towards the end of our 3.5 adventures, anything that let you reroll a saving throw was exceedingly popular with our group. What I really don't like are effects like the holy word/blasphemy line of spells. The caster is of a high level (like random encounters on the way to the final area in a...

Of course, because at this point it would be akin to telling you to recreate your setting sun swordmage (who resembles a monk, but without all the suck) as a wizard. And they have come out and said that the 4E monk will be a striker. You'll note that the desert wind school (which actually is...

The rules are fairly complete. However, it appears there wasn't time for a close, hard look at them after they were completed. A glaring example of that would be the chapter on skill challenges to be found in the errata document. cheers
