I've taken to running Fighter, cleric and double Wizard for my groups when I can manage it. Works very well since by L3 most wizards are smart and have shock sphere :) 2 of those and 2 acid arrows does a great job of clearing the room of enemies. My fighter has Charge, but I see way too much...

Reasonably priced pdfs and print on demand options like lulu (or does drive thru offer POD now?) would be a positive thing for older editions. Make sure the 4E stuff is in one section and that the older editions have notices plastered on that say these are older editions of D&D and are...

If Mage 20 will be based on Revised Mage they can keep their book. Revised killed Mage dead. I'm only about 6 books away from completing my collection of 1st and 2nd ed Mage, so I can safely pass :)

Once I know what the race and class lim,its are for the game, then I tend to start thinking about what class I want. Race comes next an as I pick stats and skills, the character starts developing in my mind. Since at least 2nd Ed, I've always kept bonuses in mind. I mean, if you could play a...

Allowing a NPC cleric to heal himself or allies a couple of times for 15/tier could be reasonable. Healing 15 at heroic isn't bad and 45 at epic is a decent heal, but not unreasonable.

For a local example, especially if you're a community supporter around here, you could always compare the 3.x and 4E versions of War of the Burning Sky. I never played the original and I haven't played the 4E version either, but that is an easy to compare thing right there.

Yeah I'd mentioned in one of his comment threads that he was the subject of a few threads over here and that someone had blamed him for 4E heh. Yeah hopefully Monte's post today will calm things a bit, but I doubt it

Well it kinda makes sense. Think about those soup carts that have been in continuous use for 50 years. Same pot o soup, just keeps getting ingredients added.

So we have anywhere from 60-200k DDI members. We have no way of knowing how many of those are single month members and then dropped or how many are paying subs in any of the 3 options. If even half of those people are averaging in the $8 range as the quarterly option is a median price point...

No this doesn't ring true at all. Actually all the gamers I am friends with here in Louisville are playing either 4E or Savage Worlds. We've taught several people 4E, some of which gave D&D a try in 3.5 and said learning 4E was much easier and they enjoy it more. The only other game people...

They were against people selling things over ebay and the like that were housed entirely within their game, partially b/c a lot of the things being sold were duped items and if they tracked them down and did a big purge, they knew people would lose their item they had paid real money for. In...

A lot of people would say you already have that, just not w/a WotC label on the spine. http://paizo.com/pathfinder I think point 3 is probably right out tho, b/c selling splats is a large part of their planned revenue stream for pretty much every edition.

My halfling daggermaster rogue in our current game (we're playing Revenge of the Giants) is named Nebin Hamstringer. I'm playing him as a redneck halfling from the hills. His clan had to figt off giants, so killing giants is what he's good at. Feats like Underfoot to let him move thru big...

The only thing I could find on Monte's blog in all of 2008 was this post: The Chapel Perilous - June 22nd, 2008 "I'm certainly not trying to be pro-4E or anti-4E here (I don't even have the books, although I have played one game)." That's the relevant bit anyway. There is one thread in the...

My understanding is that the AH will be there in single player games and it will be there in 8 player games. Use it or not, you'll still be required to be online always when playing D3. I'd imagine it's like D2. If you want to play alone, create a game w/a name and password so other people...

There are problems with your correction. Current estimates actually have the world population cracking 7 billion this year. Mid 2010 we were already over 6.8B. There are battle net ids that you use to login to your game, but real ids never got instituted. There was an announcement that they...

Admittedly, at 35 my vision is still perfect and I'm one of about 4 people on my mom's side that don't wear glasses, so I'm certain my experience isn't the same as everyone else's. I think it would still be plenty readable if they made things a bit smaller tho and reduced whitespace.

My Halfling Rogue will circle around for an optimal attack or charge, but if I'm in combat and surrounded and I want to move out, nothing stops me from doing it anyway. I get a +6 vs OAs heh

Someone earlier mentioned the spacing issue. That has honestly been a problem all thru 4E in my book, but it has gotten especially bad since Essentials. WotC seems to be assuming that the people reading their books are all 80 years old with Coke bottle thick glasses. Seriously, is all our...

Yeah if you let the CB pick for you, it will set you up with 10 20 10 16 8 11. You aren't allowed to have more than 1 stat below 10. Raising a 14 to an 18 is another 11 points, so this is a low 30s point character, not a standard 22. If you are supposed to be building off of 22 points, you...
