If it really is 1/2 level plus base attack, then consider a 20th level fighter (instead of skirmisher) with 24 strength: +7 from attribute formula (score-10/2) +10 level +20 bab? +37 to hit? That's the baseline? At 10th it's +22 and at 30th it's +52. It just seems like the disparity between...

Yeah, comparing them side by side it really does make more sense the other way IMO. Rip your soul out for a sec, forget all the nostalgia and look at the game from a newcomer's perspective. (Like THACO vs to hit.) Which system seems more convoluted to you? 1, 2, 3 = +1 4, 5, 6 = +2 7, 8, 9 =...

It doesn't make sense that they would take the level into consideration TWICE for to hit. (BAB and 1/2 to attribute) Let's explore the other attribute option (1/3 rounded up): Stats: 1, 2, 3 = +1 4, 5, 6 = +2 7, 8, 9 = +3 10, 11, 12 = +4 13, 14, 15 = +5 16, 17, 18 = +6 19, 20, 21 = +7 (I...

Perhaps they determined that the free content was not helping them sell books, so they had to choose between charging for the content or not commissioning it in the first place. If you had a choice between no content offered at all or having the option to buy online content, which would you...

Same company, same spoilage. And the D&D content is even more valuable. You're not getting free cards to play in the Magic section, but you are getting free adventures, maps, monsters, NPCs, locations, etc that you can actually use to run a D&D campaign. You can play D&D without paying WotC a...

We're so spoiled. The WotC site has regularly given us a ton of free material over the past few years. Ten years ago it would have been unthinkable to have so much free content for D&D. Even today very few publishers, even those with excellent web site in general (like Paizo, Goodman Games...

I've played in Shackled City, ran Age of Worms and Savage Tide and am about to start Pathfinder. I recommend playing the War of the Burning Sky. All of the players in that group have also been in the Paizo paths, and prefer WotBS (through the first three adventures at least). But if I had...

He also said that if you're ever involved in a hung jury you will probably never be selected again, regardless of how you vote.

He said they want jurors that they can read easily so it's easier to sway them. He said there's still a heavy stigma, especially with "Dungeons and Dragons", that players are "weird" and unpredictable. And this is coming from someone who loves D&D and has played it since the 70's.

Next week I may have jury duty. One of the players in our group is a prosecutor (and not surprisingly the biggest rules lawyer you'd ever meet too) and we were talking about jury selection. Prosecutors don't want teachers, defense attorneys don't want ex-law enforcement and no one wants...

I'm guessing we'll see many DM's building variants of Shadowfell Keep monsters for at least a month or two. It will be a unique moment in 4E history.

I'll get it. "I'm rich, *****!"

I'm sure it will contains thousands of humanoid enemies. :p

This was a face-to-face game, not related to the OnlineDnD.com site. But yeah, he didn't pronounce it in person like that. I saw a post from him on the Paizo boards where he wrote it that way though. His behavior inspired me to do a little "research" about him today.

A few weeks ago a new guy joined our group and played at one of our tables on Sunday. He wasn't in the table I ran, but the players at his table said he was a little strange but overall a fun player and nice addition to the group. Last week he asked if he could DM a game at our Wednesday night...

How strange, I just saw the link to this for RPGNow and considered purchasing it. I've been running the Mere of Dead Men series for the past five months and wanted more material. However, Bayou halfling boat races? Is this book really something I'd want in my campaign? Does anyone have other...

Too poor for Cheetos and M&M's? :D I just have little use for these because it's more work to organize and dig through a bunch of tiles and line them up right than it is to just draw out the right scene exactly the way I want it. (Also, I play online a lot.)

Found it on Amazon today: http://www.amazon.com/Labyrinth-Lost-Souls-Adventure-H2/dp/0786948728/ref=sr_1_4/102-8819442-7023304?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191004274&sr=1-4 They also have a listing for Dungeon Tiles: Halls of the Giant Kings...
