I'll always gladly take "better", but suit yourself :p I don't quite see "bigger", though. Things like "magic items will be cool, but not necessary" and "we want to decrease the mechanical workload for dungeon masters" is more of a" less is more" approach. I guess you're talking about the...

The rest of humanity seems to manage... :p

Unless you all start playing together, the $90 (or whatever it translates to after all the discounts you can get out there) aren't necessary. All you need is a PHB for $30. If you need that. It's quite possible that the guy whose group you enter already has the books and you can buy one after...

So he just wanted to end the campaign and needed a scapegoat? :p

Feats grant you REAL ULTIMATE POWER! Facts about Feats: 1. Feats are character options 2. Feats give you power ALL the time 3. The purpose of the Feat is to help you flip out and kill people!

Of course, multiclassed characters should not be better than singleclassed ones. But they should not be much worse. I hope they figure something out to make it work for most or even all combinations.

I'd say that Warlord is the most evocative name of the bunch.

Like what I see so far. Have to see it as a whole to ultimately decide, but so far it sounds good.

I guess because you speak a language quite similar to that they speak in the US. It's similar enough to just use the books written in the US without the need to translate anything. That makes it easier for RPGs.

Well, D&D isn't, and probably will never be, a rules-light game. It wouldn't be D&D if it were. Of course, introductory products, like 3e's basic game or 4e's Keep on the Shadowfell (or whatever it's called) can ease people into the game, and some educational efforts - like demo games, info...

That he is! The worst thing is that he can only occasionally join us, since he's studying medicine a couple hundred KM away and is only "home" every now and then.

Not quite true, especially outside the US. Whenever I do tell someone about my roleplaying hobby, I have to add quickly that it doesn't involve dressing up in leather costumes and playing "nurse and patient" or anything like that. D&D is drawing blank stares.

Me, too. But those are quite powerful even for quite powerful stats :p ;)

I have one from last week: The party (9th-level gestalt, consisting of a Minotaur Fighter, a Succubus Paladin of Freedom, a Human Psion(Seer)/Cleric I think, and a Half-Dragon Barbarian.) is in Sigil right now, and they had to obtain some important information (in the form of a riddle) for...

What's wrong with you guys. I said crazy, interesting, exotic. Not booooring ;) :p Actually, that's +4, +3, +2, +1, +0, +0. In point buy, these scores would equal 41 points. That's beyond what I usually use. When I'm feeling real generous, I give them 35 points, otherwise 32 (and that's...

Another method dealing with cards: This emulates 32 point buy. You'll need 4 Aces, 2 Kings, 2 Queens, 4 Jacks, 2 Jokers (or 10s), and 10 cards of lower value (24 total). The point buy value is as follows: Ace: 4 King: 3 Queen: 2 Jack and Joker/10: 1 Others: 0 Shuffle and deal 6 piles of 4...

We know point buy. Good system, doesn't require DM spervision. But some think it's boring We also know rolling. You roll 3d6 in order. Or you roll 4d6, drop the lowest, and arrange at will. Or you roll 5d4, or between 3 and 9 d6. It's the classical method, but requires DM supervision, and many...

A bit, yes. And in the game. Not before the game. During the game, like when you try to persuade the duke to stop his invasion, or when you try to make something stop moving by hitting it with a dangerous item, as often and as hard as possible. But during character creation, I prefer to be in...

Seconded.

1 - 21, with a jump to 24 and onwards to 30. It was a 3e Campaign (our first 3e Campaign), and lasted 2 years or so.
