In the grand scheme of things, this thread ain't gonna hamper sales one iota.

After the hyper-homogenization of 4E that started in 3.x, I'm going to call this a welcome change. I like the roleplay implications of a fickle master interrupting a PC's quest for mandatory side adventures. As a DM, I will enjoy this immensely. EDIT: I mean, really, the 4E warlock was...

If you got a 2nd & Charles near you, you may find one (or, like, 5) shrink-wrapped copies of the 4E Monster Vault with sturdy monster tokens. Or wait until November when the Reaper Mini Bones II Kickstarter ships. Probably boatloads of unwanted minis will hit eBay.

With only a handful of classes having the BAB for iterative attacks, you should have a better time with it than Kinak did. BUT you may have to do something about TWF. 5E leaves the multi-attacks untouched there, but if you're concerned about dice-apalooza you may want to think about it.

Yeah! Turns out, the Swedes are just in it for Pommerania! /duck /run

It's essential that I have a ruleset that I can memorize easily and not have to consult books in play. The more minutiae that the rules cover, the less I am able to run it RAW. Give me the 20% of rules that I need 80% of the time, and I can wing the rest.

Some actors can only stuff ONE carrot in their cheeks. I can stuff FIVE.

This is Advanced, BoldItalic. ​ADVANCED!

Savage Wombat, that hurts. It 10d6 hurts. :(

Stop telling me how to play, Mearls! :mad:

Yep. The names we give things are important. Look at the mess WotC made of tieflings and eladrin; they aren't want they were for the 30 years before 4E, and there was no good reason for it. When you introduce something new, use a new name. Don't fundamentally change something else and slap the...

It wasn't that you were "punished" per se; if you weren't good, you didn't have your goodness powering you. And once blemished, you could not regain your innocence.

You have it backwards. Non-god powered was 1st-3rd Edition. 4E made them god-powered. EDIT: Ironically, WOW's paladin lore hews closer to classic D&D than "modern" D&D does.

IIRC, they worship gods, but derive their power from their own innate goodness. They are not Clerics. They are Fighter+'s. They channel positive energy directly and not from their chosen deity. This was changed in 4th Edition and it was a substantial change, and an unneeded one, too, for the...

I refer you to the tiefling thread. :p

The easiest way a paladin can prove himself is by laying hands on the people with wounds and injuries. This also reinforces the paladin's role as a person with semi-official in areas of civilization. You wake up in the morning, walk into town, you heal some people, you present yourself to the...

I speak of the Optimus Prime of my youth, with Stan Bush's "The Touch" blaring in the background.

FWIW, Arthurian knights are not my epitome of LG. Optimus Prime is. B-)

I based an entire campaign around this idea once. The "paladin prince" of the kingdom was both the party's patron and secretly the BBEG. He never once exhibited or provided any proof that he was a paladin. He just said the right things. At any point in the campaign, a level 1 cleric spell would...
