    SERIOUS Business????

    Piratecat with double-r? Is this a pun? You're dangerously close to being funny, I reported you!

    Arcane Power questions ahead of time

    Shouldn't it then be called "happy little ball of sunshine"? ;) Cheers, LT.

    Should Implements have their own proficiency bonus?

    Not necessarily - you should be able to get a variety of implements by different proficiency bonus and properties alone - no need to touch the damage dice. For example, in your list, the rod could have "high crit" as property, the orb could have "brutal 1" and so on (of course, you would need to...

    Penny Arcade on 4e Naming Conventions

    Oh, so yes. I want all the 4E fluff rewritten by a flavour team made up of Monte, Cordell and Ari. :D Cheers, LT.

    Arcane Power Excerpt: Vestige Pact

    It says: "You select one of these as your active vestige after a short rest or an extended rest." And then it lists King Elidyr and Zutwa as options. I'm pretty sure that option is in there to allow you to switch back to a proper pact boon after expending a daily power if you don't want to keep...

    Penny Arcade on 4e Naming Conventions

    Which is - for me - an odd thing, because of the pretty awesome name drops in the power list for the warlock. A lot of 4E fluff sounds like they tried to give it a lot of flavour, probably too much ("Golden Wyvern Adept"), realised the backlash and then pulled back - hard. To the point of going...

    Penny Arcade on 4e Naming Conventions

    Hehe. Yeah, the 4E names tend to be a wee bit silly, but often unintendedly funny. :D Cheers, LT.

    Low Literacy World: Which classes would be literate (read/write)?

    Another idea is keying off the knowledge skills - while knowledge does not require reading, the Int-based knowledge skills are ones that heavily associated with reading (Arcana and Religion have a lot of bookish connotations). Cheers, LT.

    To PHB2 Owners: Controllers Compared?

    Basically what the title says - to those people who have their PHB2 already: How do the different controllers line up against each other? How much "control" does the Druid vs. Invoker vs. Wizard has? From the books before, I got the impression that arcane classes all have a controller bent...

    Arcane Power Excerpt: Rituals

    I think... this sounds a bit like an overreaction from previous editions, especially 3E/3.5E. Let me explain why: Long rests (which you can only take outside a dungeon) were king, due to the power of spells - but extended rests are much less powerful now, hence the need for getting out to get...

    Once, Twice, Three times a Hive

    You're not the only people making fun of them. In fact, my family used almost the same words to ridicule them! Until we got our dog: A friend of ours had some puppies... and since my sister wanted a dog for a long time and because nobody else wanted the puppy... we ended up with her, before she...

    Once, Twice, Three times a Hive

    If you really want a small dog, get a Dachshund. My parents have one... and she's positively cute, but "doggish". Utterly loyal and fierce if needed (don't even think of just touching somebody in our family unasked, she'll bark at you like mad for that - we obviously never tested what would...

    Arcane Power Excerpt: Rituals

    This. One of the great things of 4E is the fact that combat takes longer (in combat rounds, i.e. in in-game time), allowing for more tension and secondary goals than the Blitz combats of 3E (which basically lasted like 20 seconds in-game). Rituals with a casting time of the same order of...

    Once, Twice, Three times a Hive

    No, of course not! It's probably just no the hivean prime-time! Cheers, LT.

    About Reveille

    The hive is part of ENWorld (in the off-topic forum), so it's not for "elsewhere". Cheers, LT.

    Once, Twice, Three times a Hive

    *scratch* I guess that's why I sort of prefer CM - people are a bit more upfront over stuff like that - they just tell instead of saying things like "I guess I leave" (i.e. trying to be friendly and tip-toe around possible insults in that process). YMMV, of course. Cheers, LT.

    About Reveille

    Furthermore, Fru/Rev was (AFAIK) seen/met on GenCon and also well-liked by the core community (i.e. the people who are with ENWorld since the start - or even longer - and eventually became moderators and so on). In a way, he way definitively in the nimbus of the core members. Since the core...

    Once, Twice, Three times a Hive

    Well - and probably because it's diaglo and CM, the tone there is different from the hive (which you are more used to, I guess). Perhaps you should post a little "sorry" to diaglo! ;) * I'm rather wondering what triggered Aeson's apparent plan to leave... :confused: Cheers, LT.

    Rate The Watchmen movie

    Yup - I saw it last week and I still think the film is great or think about it a bit. In retrospect, Watchmen lacked the initial "whooph" of an action flick, but it sure has the lasting effects of a drama, which makes it decidedly different for a comic book film - but given the source, that's a...
