    The CB is still crappy

    I've experienced the being logged out, which is resolved quickly and let's you pick right up where you left off, but I've never seen the off center thing. IME, using IE works best w/the online CB, which isn't too surprising as Silverlight and IE are both MS products. I'm w/Mummolus on the 20...

    Only in the minds of the fans...

    I don't enjoy Pathfinder, but I know other people do. That's fine by me, not like I have to play in their games :)

    Shield vs. Two Weapons vs. Big Axe

    I actually really like the way 4E handles shield attack powers. You don't get the weapon keyword, but you do get static attack bonuses that keep things in line with where they should be. If you are going sword and shield, clearly topping the damage charts is not your primary concern. Altho...

    Changes coming to WotC Community Team

    More power to him. He's moving to IOWA! I lived out there for 10 years and it was pretty dull overall. I believe the University of Iowa in Iowa City has a good medical program, but he could also be ending up in Ames or Des Moines, at least I would assume as those are the other 2 main cities...

    And cops. :) We definitely need a "Hooker in a Closet" Daily as well as something like "Smack a Madam" *cough*Heidi Fleiss*cough*and his Goddesses for henchwomen :)

    Vampire the Masquerade 20th Edition version

    I knew the end times books for all teh settings were going to be crap and avoided them. I had also not been paying much attention to the metaplot for pretty much all of Revised. Mage was killed with the Revised edition IMO and I had moved away from the group I had played White Wolf with, so I...

    In praise of the rules lawyer

    I tend to get to know any system I play pretty well. I tend to fall more into the rules expert, altho I will argue points if I know people to be wrong heh. I helped co-ST an old World of Darkness campaign back in the mid-90s and mostly helped w/broad strokes of the campaign, helping make mix...

    HOS Paragon Paths up

    Just to nitpick, Pelor is Good not Lawful Good. Paladins are champions of a god, it makes sense their alignment should match. I have always sort of wondered why Clerics are allowed to be Unaligned and worship anyone tho. I would have been fine w/alignment finally biting the big one in 4E...

    Inherent bonuses and non-weapon attacks

    And yet DDI is getting pushed strongly, they keep making improvements, things like the VT and Monster Builder. If they can entice most of the customer base w/more and better utilities and maybe different pay tiers of access, why wouldn't they expect everyone to do so? DDI is a consistent...

    Picture of the Week: The original hot elf chick (?) and freinds

    Really sounds like the old Elmore art versions of Tika Waylan from the Dragonlance Chronicles book covers.

    Inherent bonuses and non-weapon attacks

    WotC would seem to disagree with you considering they keep all the most current errata in the Compendium and expect people to be using it for the most up to date rules.

    What would make for a good homebrew that adds something different?

    If you aren't opposed to 3.x, I always have to mention Arcana Evolved. Drop all the traditional races except humans and add a whole bunch of new ones. Scrap all the standard classes and have new ones. A more flexible magic system. No alignments. An interesting setting. If you're lucky...

    Some questions: restricting options, house rules, etc

    They have more customizations options listed in the known issue page over at the official D&D site. If it allowed campaign specific additions (such as if you decide to run a Dark Sun campaign where you are re-discovering the gods and thus allow Divine characters) or self-created items, he would...

    Shadow Races up!!!

    Just out of curiosity, what's so bad about Goring Charge? Knocked prone isn't exactly an awful side effect.

    Isolate and Kill vs. Neuter and Ignore: Which Control tactic do you prefer?

    I guess I consider my usage of immobilize and slow w/my new Wizard to be more of an ignoring tactic, maybe Isolate and Ignore :) We're 9th level and my first combat w/the character had me cast 2 spells on a giant on the left that kept him slowed and out o combat for 3 rounds. Then I helped...

    The Vampie Class preview

    So multiclassing into a Divine Class and picking up some Divine Channeling abilities would be bad huh? A Vampire multied into a Cleric using Turn Undead on a pack of Zombies just sounds great to me tho :)

    The Vampie Class preview

    Vampire implement. Holy symbols. C'mon, vampires walking around using crosses would be great :) Since they're Dex/Cha I predict lots of Underdark games w/Drow Vampires. Halfling Vampires would be pretty awesome too tho :)

    Three Natural 20's in a Row

    I still say that's an easy lottery. Powerball is 195M:1 odds or over 24 times harder to win than that math.

    You down with OCB?

    Plus as other people have mentioned, you could have Implement Expertise or Weapon Proficiency as single feats and have them handled in the same manner as Versatile Expertise is. Would save a ton of design space. Having more categories can be a good thing tho. Much better than just saying...

    You down with OCB?

    Microsoft has a version of Silverlight coming to iOS this year. Full version before year's end, beta in Q2. Microsoft’s Silverlight To Gain iOS Support in 2011 Houseruling things is on their known issues list, as is the lack of custom portraits. They also know about the non-customizable...
