    Why DON'T people like guns in D&D?

    It's not so much that I'm anti-gun, but more that I'm pro-knife.

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    I am surprised that something as generic as "Army Builder" was successfully trademarked, rather than "Lone Wolf Army Builder". I wonder if it would stand up to any challenge. However, that said, if they own the trademark then they are certainly within their rights from objecting to someone...

    Longtooth Shifter Regen

    I believe the word in debate there was "it", not "is". As for the OP, semantics aside, I think it's clearly intended to work much like a stance does. There are two effects from this power, one of which *only* functions while you are bloodied. If you aren't bloodied, it is suppressed until you...

    D&D 4E What Doesn't 4E Do Well?

    Without knowing the exact quote, or the intent of the quote (or what he was thinking when he said this), it's pretty much impossible to know what was meant. Personally, with the ease of tweaking monster level on the fly using the easy to use guidelines in the DMG to increase or decrease their...

    Dragons... what should they be?

    I really expected a "boobs" and Dragonborn reference by now... I'm probably in a minority, but I never was a fan of the Dragons as also wizards concept. I can see them being knowledgeable in magic, but I always felt a spell list was just overkill in earlier editions. However, that's just how...

    How Can You Politely Say, "Your Character Sucks?"

    Ok, fair enough. Sorry I misinterpreted you there. It's become so common for some folks to bash MMO players and Wow, and for comparisons to be meant as criticism, that I jumped to the wrong conclusion. I remember back when 3.0 was new, unfavorable comparisons to Diablo were made, and I even...

    How Can You Politely Say, "Your Character Sucks?"

    Honestly guys, is there any reason to start bashing other forms of gamers? I played AD&D, 2E, 3E, 3.5, 4E, the old silver and gold boxed TSR D&D PC games, UO, EQ, WoW, and tons of other games (RPGs, CRPGs, CCGs, MMOs, board games, etc etc). In my opinion, taking shots at other editions and...

    [DriveThruRPG] The Haiti Relief Mega-Bundle

    Looks like over $130k now, and I'm about to put in my $20 as well. I've been spreading the word to my friends as well. This will be my first ebook purchase as well, but I'm a sucker for bargains and good causes.

    Bad DM'GM'ing

    So... a continuation of the last story (and campaign), but on a different style and method of bad DM'ing... So, we're hired and railroaded into frontier jungles with my gimp Social-urban bard, but I stick with it. We have a job to try to capture some baby lizard there and bring it back, then...

    Bad DM'GM'ing

    Picking an experience with a bad DM is easy... My first campaign set in Eberron, first game in 3.5 after years of of not playing... It was described to me as a setting with pretty common magic, urban settings, politics, and so forth... My character concept was a detective type character...

    Miniature storage container

    Consider me part of the tackle box crowd. I used to use a few small cardboard boxes, and now I'm quite happy with the tackle box. I just wish mine was slightly taller on each shelf, then it would be perfect.

    From the pages of 1e

    I honestly didn't remember what 3.0 / 3.5 had to say about Hit Points at all. I probably didn't even bother to read how they were defined in those books, so it's interesting to see that here as well. There most certainly was arguing here, on Gleemax, and other forums regarding representing...

    Class Acts - Wizard

    Except a Storm Pillar is described in the effect as a pillar of energy, which is intangible. If the ladder can be climbed, that strongly implies tangibility. Technically, by the rules, since it's a conjuration, it doesn't "occupy" the square, but at the same time it bothers me that you can...

    From the pages of 1e

    I want to add the part about Hit Points is something I always remembered, since I very first read the AD&D books as a kid. It was pretty ingrained in me, so when 4th Edition came along, I was honestly confused by why so many people had so much trouble with this idea, and even would continue to...

    Class Acts - Wizard

    You know, at first I completely disagreed with you about this being overpowered... Frankly, I still do, at least for the reasons that you gave. However, after further thought, it occurred to me that this power is kind of broken. Consider, the following: "I cast Force Ladder in front of the...

    D&D 4E Did the DMG2 give back Spell Research to 4E?

    I finally got a copy of the DMG2 in the mail yesterday, and as I thumbed through the Alternative Rewards chapter, a thought occurred to me. The description and example provided for Grand Master Training could be trivial to re-fluff in order to mimic Spell Research in order to create new...

    Class Acts - Wizard

    As opposed to carrying a normal 40 foot ladder in a bag of holding? A normal ladder is a DC 0 to climb also. I'm loving Mystical Debris. I'm going to have to retrain to pick that up as soon as I can.

    Using Intelligence for Initiative

    I might consider it for a feat, but in all honesty, if it costs a feat then one could take Improved Initiative and get a +4 Initiative, which is typical of what a lower level character with an 18/19 score might have anyway. However, there are a couple feats (for Deva and Fighter in Dragon...
