Agreed. The thing about AU especially was that it could be used with the PHB with no problem. There was no alt. rogue or ranger for example(though the warmein could be seen as an alt. fighter).
So, I'm getting the impression that there won't be any variant PHB's... That would make me very sad. My wife and wallet will be happy however. Those games never stopped me from purchasing WotC stuff. They did excite me about d20 however.
It's my understanding that all things are not necessarily true until observed. Isn't it that all things are possible until observed? In the case of SC, the cat is either alive or dead. It is my understanding that there is a lot of confusion regarding the term "observer." We do not shoot...
This is very creative DB and makes sense within the D&D concept of life and death; you're either tired and need to sleep for 6 hours, or you're dead.
As for stats, I'd like to see Descartes's ball of wax. Does the ball of wax attack your will or do you save to realize it's the same thing...
Yeah, wasn't there some sort of "xp value" for pc's as well as monsters? I seem to remember the idea is to balance out the xp values of all pc's with the xp values of the monsters they can face in a single encounter. So, in this case, an NPC with pc levels will = 1 pc (assuming they are the...
Yeah, I bet trapfinding is for trained users only.
I could easily see SoH as either thievery or stealth but it's probably thievery IMO. One would have to use thievery to pick the pockets and stealth to get lost in the crowd.
Fear 1: The GSL.
Fear 2: Condition tracking, especially saving throws, will be a PitA.
Fear 3: Restrictions.
Exhibit 3.1: You can't attempt a trip or disarm.
Exhibit 3.2: Rogues seem to be forced to use small blades.
(hoping this has changed)
Minor fear: Multiclassing.
I seemed angry? Must be the avatar. :D I assume they are not being deceptive and m/c is more than just a feat. EDIT: I see. I should have said, "... would be deceptive."
Sure we are stuck in the 3.x box but what else do we have to go on? When I use the term 'class' among non-gamers I understand that they will assume I am referring to the R/L definetion. When a dev uses the term 'multi classed' to us (s)he has to know most of us will assume that (s)he means...
I doubt the limits are completely arbitrary. I remember a playtest report about a rogue that went around with a great axe because the damage was just too good. I think they could have (and maybe they did?) made some sort of compromise. Perhaps there is a feat that allows sneak attack with...
