Or when you throw him down on the mat and he waits until after "2" to kick out of the pin, then he's bloodied.

I photocopied and bound my PHB so that I would have a copy to give to my filthy, paper-creasing players.

Does this mean that paragon paths are mandatory?

I don't think it's actually every level. There are no 11th or 12th level wizard powers on the wizard pages at D&DXP.

Updated.

My fourth grade teacher thought that you could get lead poisoning from a pencil injury.

It's not a strawman if the person making the argument in question is being inconsistent. If you're going to criticize 4E for possessing some trait that 3E has, but simultaneously take the stance that 3E is the already-acceptable basis for comparison, you're applying a double standard. Pointing...

Well, I expect that they're archaic because nobody uses them anymore because they're built in such a fashion as to shatter when they collide with anything less yielding than a cantaloupe.

Well, isn't it just edition wars with a moustache and glasses? Something like, 1st edition had serious balance problems, but is obviously a superior roleplaying experience. Therefore, balance problems are a prerequisite for roleplaying. Q.E.D., etc. Insert your favourite edition, and your...

And apparently no 11th and 12th level spells at all. Weird. edit: Hey, has anyone already noticed the editing error on the choker? The statblock says that the Feygrove Choker has the Body Shield ability, but the flavour text calls the ability Living Shield. It's also worth noting that it...

More importantly, how did they manage to paint that warmage in such an interesting fashion? It looks kind of like someone spattered the mini with resist, then painted over in blue and peeled the resist afterwards. Neat. I'll have to experiment with that technique.

Hey, what's that yellow junk running down the side of every page? Is it some kind of copy-protection watermark, or is it actually part of the layout? If the latter, yech.

Because if the traits of 4E that putatively make it "not D&D anymore" are equally descriptive of 3E, then 3E is also not D&D. I don't think that the majority of people who want to claim that 4E is not D&D also want to claim that 3E is not D&D. There are probably some AD&D grognards (plus...

FWIW, I remember seeing it too.

Slicing the pie is a move action. Shoving a slice into your mouth is a minor action. Throwing the pie is a standard action.

I approve this sentiment. Whence comes the notion that in order to "do it right" you have to either: A. fail to enjoy doing it, or B. ruin someone else's fun? It's balderdash, and it deserves to be outed as such.

It's funny how much more interesting roleplaying I get when I break out Donjon, and that game is a friggin' parody of the munchkinny aspects of D&D. But the thing is, the system is really simple and it makes for creative and interesting play. I'll add my opinion as weight behind your suspicion...

Come to think of it, are there any Robin Laws gamer types that won't be well-served by 4E? Power Gamer: Obviously going to revel in the increased complexity of the martial classes, and the unexpected synergies ripe for exploitation once rules mastery is achieved. Butt Kicker: No shortage on...

I need to show this post to my wife... :)

Maybe minions don't get to make saving throws.
