Haha, I laughed out loud over that one, man. Turnabout is fair play. Well played! :D

They probably wanted to keep people more mobile and on the ground less. I think that I would prefer Trip as a maneuver, not a Power. I like Disarm as a Power, since I could see that being difficult; same with Sunder. Trip, though, seems pretty basic. Ah, well. If this is the worst complaint I...

It is a different breed of wizard, true, but I'll be disappointed if there's not at least an option to keep your lower level Powers along with your new, better, ones as you level. Do you "overwrite" the old ones, as in a new version of Spell Memorization? Would it be game breaking to keep your...

Thanks, guys. :) Much appreciated. I'll give those games a look.

I think you're right, Lackhand. It seems the power level starts out much higher than we've been used to, but scales much slower (or more gradual). I don't think there will be so much of those certain levels (getting Fireball, for instance) where your power level just ramps up there. You start...

I'd enjoy that too. I know Mike didn't enjoy it, and said that he voted a #2 (thanks for posting, by the way, Mike). Hopefully they do. It would be informative for those trying to get all the info they can on how the system plays.

To the OP, I think your plan has a lot of merit. The island idea allows you to introduce the non-standard elements easily and you can, indeed, pull an Atlantis if it doesn't make the cut. I have to give you some props, too, for deciding to give it a try even though you haven't liked what you've...

I think it's just a matter of perspective. I've noticed a lot of people attacking a particular rule or new addition that's been uncovered and usually doing so in a derogatory manner that implies a level of derision towards those who like the rule. This is, of course, discouraged here. Are...

Very well done, WotC. The respect shown by the move is much appreciated. Man, I wouldn't have thought this would bother me so much. It's just very incredible how much the man helped shape the gaming world. He truly made his mark in this world. Gary, you will be missed.

Ah, crap. This is horrible news. :( To Gary: You made your mark, sir. You made your mark.

Wow, that's incredibly sad. My thoughts are with his family and friends. The man made his mark. He will be missed.

I don't think that matters at all. Their whole thing is to mimic a table top game, and you don't suspend your miniatures from the ceiling fan when they fly. You set them on the table like anything else. I'm just not confident that they can finish a table top game simulator as well as the rules...

I'll give the 1:1 a shot. I can't promise more than that. My players have stated that they don't care, which is comforting, even if it means that I'm the only anal one in the group. :/

Yes, I'm pleasantly surprised. I think maybe most people would like as accurate a reflection of the playtesters' opinions as I would, which is fantastic. :)

You missed my point. My point wasn't that spending money on PnP games was a bad investment, or a bad idea (because it isn't), it's that I really dislike being asked to spend money on something I already own. If you're being asked to spend money on a product it should provide you something that...

I don't mind them being better, that makes sense, but what I'm getting at is will it break the game to still keep them as fallback Powers? So, I've used my two Encounter Powers, all shiny and new for this level, on the black dragon. Can I whip out my OLDER per Encounter powers and use those...

Hey, guys. I'm a bit out of it when it comes to new products, or some of the OGL products out there on the market. I really kind of stopped paying attention after 3.5 turned me into a bitter, bitter man (I'm not paying for something that's the same as what I own!!! ;) ). In that light, I need a...

WotC seems to always screw the pooch, unfortunately, when it comes to electronic tools. I still remember the Master Tools debacle with more than just minor anger. That they finally came out with the weak E-Tools just made it worse, for me. Hell, the Master Tools for 2E weren't that bad. I...

So, new Powers replace old ones. I can see why that is. Now, my question: Would it break the foundations of the earth if you house ruled that you still kept your old powers? You would have an ever increasing list of powers, for those who don't like the idea of losing them through replacement...

Wow, that's pretty good. Nice to know. :) As for what the "certain things" was in my post, I'm not sure. I couldn't remember if the pairing of ability scores affected more than just AC so included that just in case. It MAY be just AC, I just can't remember and am not sure where the original...
