That's because, for the most part, it is the talent WOTC hired when they took over TSR. Most of the 4e writers are new blood. New blood with absolutely no respect whatsoever for the traditions of the game IMO. But that's another thread.

The problem is someone is installing a mod that isn't PHP 5 safe. This server is on PHP 5. Some older mods (or more poorly written mods that have been ported over time) kick errors like that. In PHP 4 the parser raises a notices when array_merge references a non-existent array. In PHP 5 it...

The page redirects being turned on is not helping matters. Since their being on is a default status you may also wish to make sure the damn thing isn't sending no-cache headers (a huge no-no on a site this large). CM and ENWorld being on separate servers would help from at least a redundancy...

That reminds me, that was a lead the party never followed up on - the guy who owned the ship (Patriarch Imlori) - which is odd because Hollie has worked for him. Hmm.. Caramon's backers isnt' something I've given too much thought into beyond the Shadrean priests that are using him to resurrect...

I've avoided item retrieval plots so far and would like to keep it that way for awhile. Also, I haven't decided whether Damron is more interesting as a rival guild lord or one of the five High Council members present in the city.

Bump. The game is tomorrow. Anything?

Hey all - I've got a game Saturday that I'm a little stuck on what to do. I have enough material for a normal 4 hour session, but our sessions tend to approach 12 hours. Characters are 1st level. Here's the log of the first three sessions to bring everyone up to speed on the plot. Here's my log...

Not yet. I will eventually but not yet.

Green may end up being a hard egg to crack, so let's switch over to silver a moment. Addle Sodra Attack 1 You strike the head of the foe with a viscous bolt of eldritch energy that saps his skill as well as his healt. Encounter + Planar, Implement Standard Action Range 5 Target: One creature...

Moving on. Green magi are to do the defender role. Defender of nature and all that, but it's also an interesting role focus to distinguish from the druid who is the primal controller class. But a primary spellcaster that can effectively get in close and wallop, there's a puzzle... I think the...

Let's now move away from Blue over to Red - the "I really want to knock the crap out of you color." Fanning the Flames Shunra Utility 6 You chant ancient words of power causing the temperature to rise uncomfortably. The kindling is set, now for the spark! Daily + Planar, Fire Effect: Fire...

No need to apologize. I can be quite brutish at times unfortunately for, like most programmer types, social skills aren't my forte. There's a reason Piratecat never let me moderate in all the time I was an admin. I can understand the feeling about the schism, but I am trying to pull the game to...

Let me be plain. No member has any right to tell any other member that. You have no right to tell that to any member, least of all me. I worked on this site for six years, I've been playing this game the better part of sixteen. You don't even have the semblance of a right to tell me what I...

Goodbye, good riddance. Passive Aggressive trolling like this has driven away a lot of members, and the fewer people like you around the better.

Not all powers are for all players. Nor can all the powers be equally useful. 4e attempts to make more powers relevant by spreading the good powers around among the classes and trying to make sure that no class gets too many good powers. The problem with this approach is that as time goes by...

And now for time games. Standstill Balcra Utility 27 You utter a word and a shimmering pulse emanates from you to include all combatants. Time stops, the effects of the combat end, and time resumes. Daily + Planar Standard Action Effect: End the encounter (This means all effects which...

:lol: You lecturing me on what does and does not constitute 4e is about as stupid as the endless debates on what constitutes D&D itself. It's elitist, snarky and rude at best, so knock it off. Let him. Let his companions refuse to let him. And let him die. You might like D&D on training...

Resilience is not a virtue all magi embrace, and frankly such a choice should belong to the players, not the system. Ok, continuing - concentrating on Blue (Balcra). This is the color of thought and learning. It is not a combative color so making powers for it for combat is a bit challenging...

Bump. I doubt I got all of those right on the first try. Please folks, I could use some help here.

And now for new powers. Please remember I haven't been doing this long so some of these powers could be way off the mark. Bloodlust Shunra (Red) Attack 1 With a cry of hatred you put your soul's very energy behind the blow increasing it's damage. Encounter + Planar Immediate Action Target...
