A lot of your beefs are tastes. Nobody'll take them away. I think playing 4e will be fun for you if you give it a chance, and I hope it is/you do. That said, I dig the earthbinding effect because it makes me think that the tarrasque emits its own field of gravity. That's such an awesome image in...

M_R's got a good point, I think 4e level 1 is about as complex as mid level sweet spot 3e. That said, was the implication about the complexity a negative thing? Was it like, "It was complex, but after I got the hang of it I had fun" or a "It was difficult to keep track of things and too...

From my Pre-4e game experience Sly Flourish, Tide of Iron, Lance of Faith, and Eldritch Blast are consistent and stable options (The PCs are almost level 3... which is perfect considering the books come out this week). Even though they have encounter powers, those tend to be more situational or...

Fair enough. Source it is, then!

Heh, under the assumption I get somebody to run a game, I'll be playing Alsirius Apitheiun, the Elven border guard.

A fun mmorpg. Ha.Ha.Ha. Edit: Expanding to usual wordiness, I don't think a lot of mmorpgs are consistently fun. I would love to see 4e contradict this. I admittedly would not mind if there was some sort of dungeon generator for DDI where players could make groups of monsters of appropriate...

Could someone point me in the direction of this? I think I might almost be there with my mental exercise, but official things are fun. Also, I think there's somewhere in the DMG about creative uses of abilities that result in power-like attacks... like skill checks for knocking down a chandelier...

You know... I bet that's pretty much how new multi-class oriented feats will work. Take the multiclass feat. Then, instead of a power-swap feat, take a feat that allows access to a build or feature option (I bet some feats of this type will be mutually exclusive). You win the cake. It isn't a lie.

(I think the careful attack and its brethren should really just be like power attack in reverse or something along those lines. Houserule?) Has anyone used the damage bonus from TWF feat in the calculations? Because, wouldn't that untyped +1 damage be applied to both hits in Twin Strike?

I agree. One of the things I've read somewhere is that they suggest that not everything have as much treasure, but that they earn that much for the whole level's worth... so there can be treasure vaults or 'captain' monsters that have a small amount of wealth compared to the others. For...

Your monitor amazes me. (Edit: Family, did you see Prince Caspian? I have the feeling you might like it)

Bumped! I think fan-things... but the ways of the mod are beyond my lack of arcana training. XD

Interesting. I know SR 4e printed, and then reprinted w/ errata fixed. Think there's any chance we'll be seeing that w/ D&D 4e?

So, a few months back a friend and I talked about making a campaign out of Beatles' songs. Maybe one of those could work?

Yes, that is exactly what I have in mind. (or rather, one of the several. I have focus issues sometimes) Also, Eternal Seeker may become my goal simply for those power swapping abilities.

Do not have the books, but I'll throw in 2 cents if that's alright. - Proficient with a number of weapons, including traditional warrior weapons such as swords, bows, or polearms - Proficient in at least light-to-medium armor, and able to use a shield. Ideally, able to cast spells in armor -...

Thanks for the input. My new thoughts... What I propose does not work with 4e as we know it. One could build a teamwork oriented rogue, or a fighter who borrows the two-weapon abilities of the ranger... except that there would be no class terms. So, a stealth-oriented martial character would...

I'm now very much tempted to try a few bookstores near by...

Nosco, and rad. I like the focused specialization being an extra use of the BG skills. So if they really wanted to be exclusive they could add craft(humanoid statues) or craft(architecture) on top. I like it.

cool cool. What about amount of focus? Could someone drop a background skill to make their character more tied to... crafting marble statues or something and thus get a higher bonus (maybe a +3 or 4?) for that skill?
