    Pathfinder 1E Paizo Copyright Issues at Obsidian Portal?

    My attorney is an avid gamer and has a column on Loremaster.org called Protection from Chaos. It's a good read for anyone wanting more information. I'm trying to get him to draft an article about this specific situation.

    Is Power Strike a Weapon Attack?

    This needs to be fixed as it opens up holes for those who need to follow RAW at all costs. Edit: It should say Class Power. Not unlike how Half-Orcs have the racial ability that does something similar (Half-Orc Racial Power)

    D&D "Dungeon of Dread" board game

    The more I think on it, the more I am really liking this game. The price point is just too amazing.

    We've been spoiled by 4e and the CB :)

    Yeah, something for you to look up. I don't have the time. It sounds like this isn't a problem for you or your group. Best of luck.

    Dragon 400: Nerathi Legends: The Iron Wolf Barbarians

    Rich did a great job! Needless to say, I am a huge proponent of themes in 4e.

    It resolves prior to landing any hits and inhibits any potential damage it would do (think solos or multi attack creatures). Weakened is one of many conditions, however. Forced movement can pose separate issues. As does the amount of time it takes for a single player to complete their turn...

    My Brawler Fighter and how fellow players complain

    Give me their emails. I kid, I kid. Those were some pretty harsh words from your DM. I would hardly call that cheese. It sounds rather improvisational. You were thinking on your feet and adapted to a situation where your character couldn't use their chosen weapon. If I were your DM, I would...

    Just how compatible is Essentials?

    Can't give you XP, but your point is oddly true. After reading the actual rules of the game, many adaptations and home rules have been introduced. It's weird how people just acclimated towards what is fun, regardless of RAW. It's like it didn't matter and people did what they needed to do to...

    Just how compatible is Essentials?

    Want me to provide examples of other games? ;) You call me being snark? This entire debate is predicated off the idea that essentials is not compatible with core D&D 4e. What is the entire problem here? No one has reasoned that out for me yet. What are we trying to improve (and prove) here...

    Just how compatible is Essentials?

    Guys, Monopoly is not really the game you've been playing. Milton Bradley says its the same, but really there have been some stealth updates over the years. We should really start segregating the games. I propose Monopoly 1.0 and Monopoly 1.5. If you could help out and mark your posts...

    Immediate Vengeance comes to mind. As does Cross-body parry (Swordmage). But as I said, there are many. Step 1: Draw an opportunity attack Step 2: Use Immediate Vengeance on the target (immediate interrupt). Target is now weakened until the end of your next turn. Step 3: Use standard action to...

    Any immediate action that has a rider effect that can be induced during your turn. I won't list all of them because I shouldn't have to. Find any immediate action that has riders such as push, pull, slide, stun, daze, weaken, knock prone, or more, and it presents many more ways to lock down...

    I'll just switch them out with existing minis I have.

    I like your style. Coming to Gen Con? First round's on me.

    I should further explain that my group consists of many of the premier/active contributors on the WotC CharOp (Herid_Fel, Kilpatds, etc... all local to me) boards as well as those who derive joy out of causing me heartache. They are not like any other group that I know of. I apologize if I came...

    Just how compatible is Essentials?

    Rude or not, points are being deliberately ignored in order to maintain a narrative--one that has repeatedly been debunked. If you consider me calling this out as being rude, so be it. I've been called worse ;) We are talking about compatibility. It's really a simple subject.

    I'm not going to list every immediate interrupt. The Compendium is easy enough to browse through. As I said a couple of times. If your group has no problems with it, then it isn't really a problem. Keep on truckin'. My group(s), however, would demolish the physics of time and space in its abuse ;)
