I don't see a disconnect, not on a personal level, at any rate. It's fine and dandy that WotC cares. It's their job to do so. I'm not bitter anymore. I simply don't care. All that has given way to disappointed indifference concerning the future of the game. I don't care if 4e ever sees another...

I hear you - I used many of the same houserules you did. So when most of them found their way into 3e, it sounded like another revision, like 2e was to 1e. But for some of my group, it was not such a no-brainer in the end, and we could not agree on 3.x being superior. There was much gnashing of...

Just like every edition, albeit sooner than I'd have preferred, but as noted upthread, it is just as much about unrealistic corporate sales targets (this was revealed by a former WotC insider), Paizo eating their lunch (observed sales data), and the need to reunify the community. It's a shame...

Hi. I'm Nemesis Destiny. Some of you may remember me from such threads as Pemertonian Scene Framing and its continuation, as well as Nemesis Destiny's Houserules Thread. I have also participated in my share of 4dvocating for my edition of choice when I see it baselessly attacked as being...

The idea with boons is that they're intended to replace magic items in a game as a way to give the benefits of magic (which is expected in 4e design) to characters in low-magic campaigns. That said, if used in conjunction with magic, they would just replace magic items in parcels on a 1-for-1...

I'm torn between Mark of Healing for the free-save-with-every-heal, or Mark of Passage for the bonus shifting. Either way, I think it will have to wait until next level. Good choice. I took and retrained into more healing powers as well, but having all the group's healing eggs in one proverbial...

Fair enough, I will add to my list with boons. Yes, and there are several that I'm looking at. There are lots of juicy options at level 12-14. I will probably take one that reflects lessons learned in the battle with Soryth. The other main one I wanted is only level 8 (Imperial Oration), and...

jbear I hate to bug again, but how about purchasing boons with our gold? I may be making some changes to Sabynha in light of the Dragonmark situation, and also boons ;)

At the risk of being flagged for spamming the thread, I also had an idea about maybe just doing some freeform RP type stuff in between this and the start of the next adventure, in case jbear needs the extra time, and if any of you feel like participating... My post frequency wouldn't be fast...

Also jbear, for future reference, now that you're running this show entirely, how do you feel about Dragonmark feats?

Lol. I should change my user name to Nemesis Dunce, or maybe Nemesis Density. :p I found where I went wrong and the source of all my confusion; I read "have a look through SoM," rather than "though," so yeah, I'm dumb. :p

Sabynha smiled warmly, "I was about to suggest that very thing. I would not bring either of you back against your will, be it by force or coercion, but it would be best if we brought back a token of your intent to your families so that we may put to rest any suspicion and hostility." The...

Noted. Awesome. I worded that poorly. I know what they are, but I wasn't sure which book SoM is. I can't remember if I asked or not already, but with our reward money/time gold, can we use that to buy other boons from the builder? I've mostly updated, but if that is allowed, there may be a few...

@jbear - I'm updating Sabynha now. I have another question; how do you feel about me retraining one of her skills for Endurance? Also, I'm not entirely sure what the boon thing is all about. What does that give me? EDIT: Sabynha is as up to date as I can do without knowing the answers to my...

Slow and steady is better than fast-then-dead as so often happens. I'm in for another go.

I am playing a Half-Elf Skald bard that I'm trying to drift striker with chargespam. Son of Meepo is playing a Half Elf Diviner. Neil1889 is playing a Tiefling Shielding Swordmage. Mewness is running a Battlemind that I think he was going to convert to a Battlemind|Monk in an effort to get some...

For the purposes of spending our gold on gear, is there anything off-limits? Can we use the money to buy alternative rewards?

"That has helped me. I know what I want." Sabynha mused aloud. "My wish is for happiness; I want Orlando and Juliana to be happy," she continued, pausing to look at each of the people in the garden as she spoke, "I want you, Sir Flibberitgibbet, to be happy, I want Wat to be happy, and Rain...

Sabynha's mind swam for a moment at what the fondest wish would be of a pixie. "You're among friends here. Don't be shy," the vistani prodded, now genuinely curious.

I haven't had a chance to update my sheet yet. I built Sabynha all the way to 21st level, but it's on my netbook and it takes f.o.r.e.v.e.r.... to load the old CB (the online one mostly won't work on it for some reason). The short version is that she's probably taking Blade & Buckler Duelist...
