4e has been errata'd extensively, and at least some of the errata has been very good, so I'd recommend Essentials. They learned a lot since the initial release of 4e, and the results of that knowledge have been applied to Essentials (and to their supplements like Divine Power, but if you aren't...

The box for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3e seems large enough to hold at least three supplement boxes. Cheers, -- N

Well, either every DM out there is failing at his or her job, or the Fighter simply contributes less than other classes. Nah. It's more like every resource spent on a Fighter could be better spent on a non-Fighter. My support-centric Cloistered Cleric could be buffing a Fighter, sure, but he...

Yeah. That look on his face... poor Elan. :(, -- N

Much as I enjoy discussing Druids, this isn't the right thread for it, except for comparing them to Fighters. If you want to start a new thread, I'd be happy to advise. Cheers, -- N

Hmm. My favorite thing about the Beguiler isn't the spell list, it's how well their spell list works with their skill list and their huge number of skill points. Having the ability to ignore SR at 20th level is just awesome, and the bonus Metamagic feats aren't bad either. Hybrid caster PrCs...

It is very possible. The Fighter isn't absolutely necessary. Is that your question? At 1st level, yes, it can. Starting around 7th level, the Cleric and Druid can take over front-line melee. Between 2nd level and 6th level, the Fighter (or Barbarian, or Paladin, or whatever) is pretty...

Seems fine to me. The old one wasn't all that fast, and neither is the new web one, so that's a wash. The new one has a nice Essentials option for printing, which looks nicer than the old character sheets, and since I need the same hack to print to PDF either way, that's a wash. Mild advantage...

It's hilariously been done for the opposite reasons, though, and that's why I like OotS so much. The Blood-Sweat-Tears triumvirate purportedly exists to avoid unnecessary conflicts, and of course the names of the empires change regularly so "we have always been at war with... " makes no literal...

It only applies to racial HD. It's like how the Half-Dragon template doesn't improve the skills or HD of any class levels. Cheers, -- N

Yeah, when I saw how "Tyrianaria" was laid out as an obvious reveal, I went back and looked for where we'd seen it before. Holy cow. "Red" indeed. I wonder if Belkar will be slain by one of his own relatives. Cheers, -- N PS: "We have always been at war with Oceanus!"

Look at the Spot check on that Dasuul guy! He blows right through the -2 penalty Foreshadowed illumination. Cheers, -- N

Monks are not "the only class linked to the divine in some way that don't have the ability to cast divine spells". There's an obvious counterexample in the ToB that has already been brought up. God damn, you are one rude fellow. You've succeeded in getting me to stop trying to help. Ciao, -- N

If you ignore that Crusaders explicitly use a mix of divine & martial flavor, and that the Swordsage is explicitly meant to be a fixed Monk with powers that can come from a variety of sources (including divine), then you might have a point. If you didn't ask "... has anyone ever ventured down...

You know that you were the one who brought it up, right? If you aren't concerned about balance, then there's no such thing as "power creep". -- N

Nah. They did consider it, they did implement it, and they sold the solution under the name "4e". If you want balanced Fighter vs. Cleric mechanics, the game you want is 4e. That's because there is nothing that can save the 3.x Fighter. You can release new classes which don't suck -- like the...

Use the Swordsage class instead. Call the maneuvers "spells". Cheers, -- N

Apparently you're missing the plot reveal in this strip. It justifies how Elan's CG mother ended up married to his LE father. -- N

Well, of course. Back when I first subscribed, they implied I'd be getting a bunch of additional tools for my money, like a working monster builder, an encounter thingy, and a virtual table top. I'm probably the only person in my group who still subscribes, and I keep it just in case we decide...

I have to agree with the LE general on this one. He did make it pretty darn obvious. Cheers, -- N
