    Has Anyone created a 4th Edition Rules primer?

    I believe the DDXP primer is pretty faithful to the official rules. Think of it as a fast-play version of 4e, similar to any one of a zillion other free downloads available from a multitude of gaming companies. While everything isn't there I don't believe anything contradicts the actual rules...

    [Bal, PrC] Glutton

    Dude, that's totally gross. I love it! That has got to violate some kind of vow. Or maybe it's its own kind of vow... Are you familiar with the Willing Deformity and Deformity (Obese) feats in Book of Vile Darkness. Upon review I see that your PrC gains similar benefits to those feats but I...

    Using 4e with a low magic campaign setting?

    Depending on how low you want your magic to be you could limit classes to martial power source only. Characters could acquire low-grade magic power by using multi-class feats. That leaves you with a total lack of a controller but I think the other roles are covered. As far as balancing bonuses...

    Core classes. How are they balanced?

    Gaaah. :erm: I will admit my ignorance here. I forgot most of that stuff was in 3.5. Since those things appeared in Masters of the Wild I mis-remembered them as splat stuff. For the most part you are correct because of my above oversight. That's a pretty mighty druid. :eek: There's a few...

    Core classes. How are they balanced?

    Isn't this just one more post that won't let the thread die? Am I missing something?

    Core classes. How are they balanced?

    Ha! That totally sounds like a guy I used to game with. Followed by But I didn't do anything... Loser... Really? Druid20 is no more powerful than Cleric/Wizard/Sorcerer20 with Core rules. They get no wild spell, I don't think there was any wild armor or darkwood plate BS. Sure they can...

    Why Aren't You Editing the ENWiki?

    On a wiki it's going to be a lot more accessible. Posted on a forum or in a blog whoever is trying to find it needs to specifically be looking for it. If your D&D article is in a D&D wiki then chances are more people are going to be exposed to it because they're in that community.

    Why Aren't You Editing the ENWiki?

    Mostly it's 'cause my wik-fu is more whack-fu. I'm also an avid puppy kicker. I guess we're allowed to cross post stuff though, right. I've got some other articles floating around that I could put up.

    I need Oldy Molds!

    Not exactly a mold but the obliviax is a personal favorite. It's a great hazard and can give the party a real WTF?!? moment when the carpet of black moss starts casting spells at them. :devil:

    Least Favorite (Core) D&D Race

    Dragonborn followed closely by the new tiefling. I'm not too fussy about elves, half-elves, and halflings either but they are traditional so they get a pass. Drow as a PC race are really only acceptable to me in an Underdark based campaign or an evil one. Anybody that tries to sneak a brooding...

    3.5e -- What REALLY needed fixing?

    The problem with NPC generators is that they are never optimal and usually incomplete. Feats rarely scale properly and equipment is either undesignated or just plain wrong. If it works for you, awesome. My experiences have always been a basic stat block that I have to tinker with so much I may...

    What's with the Gnome Hate?

    Back in my 1e days the most terrifying villain around was a gnome. And he was a PC! A deep gnome assassin named Bjorn. Even my minotaur killing machine was careful not to piss off that little bugger. I can see why the gnome got the axe as a base race for 4e. He doesn't fill a niche that you...

    What makes a permanent grid on white board? Help needed with homemade "tac-tiles"

    We use paint pens. They seem more enduring than permanent marker. They are kind of messy though when drawing big, bold lines. I'd suggest just putting a dot where lines intersect. That way squares are implied but you've got a lot less potential for mess.

    3.5e -- What REALLY needed fixing?

    Artificer's Handbook? Where is this from? And is advancement arbitrary without XP? What is your method?

    Forked Thread: Three more days

    I won't QFT that but... I've seen hong perform plenty acts of low-grade trolling. This is not an attempt to start a fight. hong's a good contributor and an insightful poster. But let's call a duck a duck. He's also an A-grade zhit disturber when he wants to be. And that's all I'll say on the...

    2008/7/10 Tabletop RPG Podcasts

    Brilliant Gameologists I don't agree with everything they say. Their take on min-maxing in particular doesn't sit well with me. But there are some pretty good insights. Great list, btw. I've just recently got into podcasts and I've been looking for more RPG stuff.
