    Are you buying the rule books separately or as a gift set?

    Four sets and one PHB from Amazon. Because I'm hardcore. No, actually because I know quite a few gamers in my town and we bundled our orders together on my creditcard. Even with express shipping from the US (we're in the Netherlands) we get an amazing deal due to the current weak dollar. One...

    Keep on the Shadowfell character sheet scans

    I'll echo hong here: Er, what? Anyway, I suspect the half-elf has +2 Cha and +2 to any one ability score of their choice, while the human has simply +2 to any one ability score of his choice. In addition I think the half-elf has low light vision, extra language, some minor skill buffs just...

    WotC GregB: Alchemy

    I have just become twice as stoked about 4e than I already was. I shall look forward to that alchemist path. Because my favoritest character ever was a "mad scientist" kind of person. If I can tinker around with laboratories and napalm I shall be very, very happy indeed. :D

    Which Class Would You Like to See?

    "Other", because I actually don't want to see any third party stuff of this type this time around. The Big Book of Strikers sounds like one of the most boring products ever. It's exactly this sort of tripe that made d20 a bloated and failing system IMO. Now a company that makes a really...

    D&D 4E Piracy and 4e

    Although I'm unwilling to share details on "how to pirate D&D material 101" for obvious reasons, you'll have to trust me when I say that: a. You're wrong with both your statements. b. I didn't share it with anyone, 100% guaranteed.

    D&D 4E Piracy and 4e

    I obtained Elder Evils literally 70 seconds after I read Rechan's post, one minute of which was spent on downloading. Don't get me wrong, I deleted it and haven't spread it to others. This wasn't about pirating but about a test; it's very easy to obtain their stuff if you know where to look...

    Nimble Strike

    Yes. As part of the standard action he both gets to attack and shift. This isn't so much unique to the ranger, but to all striker classes. The rogue and warlock also have a high mobility (eg. tumble and teleportation, respectively). But people tend to forget and oversimplify and think striker =...

    D&D 4E Standing Guard in 4e...no rest for you?

    When I saw the extended rest was 6 hours instead of 8 I immediately assumed that it was exactly about this. Four people can now stand guard 2 hours each ands till rest within 8 hours of "sleep". This rule was made precisely to put an end to discussions like this.

    Daily Art Preview

    She's got stars on her armor and a moon on her face. And warlocks have "stars" as a possible powersource, don't they? Y'know, I got a feeling the stars are out to get us this edition...

    Will CON become a dump stat?

    At low level casters only have, what, 2 to 5 spells to begin with? Not counting the 0-level ones, which are handy, but hardly potent combat winners. A caster who wishes to use a magic effect every round is out of mojo before the second fight ends. You call this "go nova" and imply it's the...

    Will CON become a dump stat?

    At first level? I did say "get such easy access", mind you. I don't doubt it'll be in there somewhere, but I'm willing to bet real hard cash with you for it not being something you just trivially snap your figners for at the heroic tier. Except we have encounter powers, higher hit points at...

    Will CON become a dump stat?

    Those people knew Rope Trick though. It's highly doubtful 4e PCs will ever get such easy access to extradimensional resting spots again. (Just to name an example that occured to me within one second flat.) I know you really dislike 4e, Derren, and that you want to make that clear as often and...

    Tiers Excerpt (merged)

    Real divination doesn't kick in until the paragon tier. But we also heard that about coming back from the dead, and that's in (late) heroic. So maybe the wise woman can still do the 2nd level Read Tealeaves ritual, the court wizard has Peek At Glass Sphere, and the gibbering old cultist has The...

    Tiers Excerpt (merged)

    You also get a stat bump at levels 11 and 21.

    D&D 4E 4e Monster Manual excerpt

    Oh but that's completely different. It's a love condession after all. Now, if your knight had confessed his love to the Oliver Twist he just caught rummaging around with his "pouch" then yeah, the battlemat would definitely be appropriate. :p

    D&D 4E 4e Monster Manual excerpt

    Who cares what the combat stats are for a street urchin? It's a kid. When a PC catches a 12 year old pick-pocket in your game, do you honesly roll initiative and break out the battlemat?

    The Warlock, what a great assasin!!

    I'm drawing a blank here. What kind of mob uses stealth and assassination like this?

    D&D 4E 4e Monster Manual excerpt

    1. You can only have one victim kissed at a time. Kissing all the PCs is useless. 2. It states the succy has to kiss a victim once a day to sustain the effect. In all likelyhood there is a universal rule that states Charm effects wear off after a day. It would perhaps be a good thing if you...

    D&D 4E 4e Monster Manual excerpt

    That would be pointless, as it also has regeneration. The vampire spawn hp is probably quite correct.
