    D&D 4E The grindyness of 4e combat: anyone tried a solo monster yet?

    We finally got to a solo fight in KoTS and I found it to be a good change of pace and required some different tactics of the players but didn't really take more time. As far as grinding so far none of our fights have taken very long at all. It has been a lot faster than in previous editions we...

    Cover in Melee and contradictions in the PHB vs DMG

    It is that the PHB version of the Cover rules basically make it so for melee the Attacker chooses the corner that is the best for him. The DMG version gives that right to the Defender in terms of which corner to corner line determines if there is cover.

    Cover in Melee and contradictions in the PHB vs DMG

    There are two ways in the RAW to determine Cover for Melee attacks, one on page 280 of the PHB states: Determining Cover: To determine if a target has cover, choose a corner of a square you occupy (or a corner of your attack’s origin square) and trace imaginary lines from that corner to every...

    Slow site and supporters

    This may not be the right thread for this but hear me out. I see the sales drive to get a new server to help with the slowing issues which is a fine idea but also makes me a little frustrated. I have been a community support for a while and if just even 10% of the 70000 registered users of...

    Leaving ENworld at last

    Always hate to see long timers go. Good luck to you. I feel the same way as of late, the boards are slow and the feel has changed a lot. Let me know if you find a nice board somewhere, of course for me it would be a 4e one ;)

    The fate of the Advanced Player's Guide

    That is great news, sign me up for a pre-order. I know some players who will be very happy once this is out.

    re: No 4E for Necromancer Games!

    Not to digress too much as I too would like to see Necro in the 4e game but that XRP is going to 4e is a big deal to me because your stuff was some of the only third party I bought during 3.0/3.5. What is the timeline for LoD?

    Main differences between 3.5E, 4E, and Pathfinder?

    I don't know that I have more to add to the comparison than what has been said. I will say I think 4e would be easier on a casual group of players as there our currently only 3 books for the DM to buy and 1 for the players so the ramping up in terms of cash and information load is easier.

    Forked Thread: Goodman IS going GSL!

    Yeah the web can be tough but this used to be one of the friendliest places around, lately the tone has changed. Less and less people seem to be respecting Eric's grandmother.

    I'm not sure the ENnies page is working

    It seemed to be working for me. As a side note I am sure it is due to my own lack of attention but are these only products released in '07?

    Confessions of a full time Wizard confession

    I will echo that my lovely wife moved from Diablo II to EQ to WoW and picked up DnD along the way once we started going out.

    Confessions of a full time Wizard confession

    I should have been more clear, I meant her actual book but her column is enjoyed to. I think if you do not have the lexicon of geek background info (fantasy novels, movies etc) having a viewpoint such as this helps explain some of what goes on.

    Rate WotC as a company

    For me right now the areas they need to improve in would be: 1.) Editing 2.) Production Values, paper, how modules are presented. 3.) Lack of DDI so far. Overall I give them a 3 right now.

    Confessions of a full time Wizard confession

    Suffice to say it is not for the small percentage of dedicated and according to most polls very experienced players who come to EN. It worked wonders for the women who now play regularly on our group even though neither are as "girly".

    Keeping track of bloodied, marked, etc...

    IMC we are using the Alea magnetic markers and they have been great so far. The big set has enough colors for each characters powers to be different and I still have enough left over for all of the badguy effects.
