If you look at Wizards of the Coast as a whole you'll note that Magic: The Gathering boosters cost the same in Magic Online as MSRP for paper cards. The same concept seems to apply to Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition PDFs except for the current price reduction which may or may not be temporary.

I think Feng Shui would be perfect for a certain kind of Legend of the Five Rings game. Most of the fiction behind the game reads more like Super Action than "you'll die randomly" (at least for the heroes). My concern...Is there enough rules material after you remove all the Gun-stuff to...

Does anyone have any advice on the various elements needed to run a successful 4th Edition single player game? Should most encounters be with minions? Is Fighter or Paladin the most reasonable choice for the lone PC? Would stealing 3rd Edition gestalt rules be helpful? Is there anything that...

Oriental Adventures, Hollow World

That's the best information I've had all week. Sooner is better when it comes to new classes given the narrow scope of each 4e class.

{emphasis added} One of the genres I try to play is "low magic". The lack of a Martial character to fill the Controller role is a serious hindrance to playing a low magic game (for example an all martial game).

Wizards of the Coast has all but said that we won't get any more classes except the swordmage (probably arcane defender) until Player's Handbook II. Are you willing to wait that long? We wouldn't have a martial controller (hopefully monk), arcane leader (hopefully bard), divine controller, or...

Martial Power won't have new classes but we'll get the swordmage in Forgotten Realms. How many other new classes do we think we'll get before Player's Handbook II comes out?

Yes, you'll be able to use it "out of the can". Dungeon & Dragons' 4th edition cosmology feels more like fantasy and less like "Plane(t)s in Space" or "Tears in the Fabric of Reality". Sailing the celestial seas is way more in-theme for fantasy than Jumpgates to Sigil. The Astral plane has...

Am I a fan of reboots? Definitely YES. Were Time of Troubles and Spellplague the right ways to do a reboot? Not for me. I much prefer my reboots to go back to an early period in the setting and reimagine the setting. Ultimate Marvel style is a good way to approach the concept.

Another idea is that in the past we've seen an Elf Book and a Dwarf book. Then we had the Elf+Halfling book and the Dwarf+Gnome book, probably because no one was expected to want a Halfling Book or a Gnome Book. Perhaps this time a Feynomicon could be: Elves, Eladrin, Drow, and the Races of...

When I asked for help making a character one common response was "choose a race that has a +2 in your class' primary stat". There are only two races that can get a bonus to Strength in the Player's Handbook 4th Edition: dragonborn and human. There are five (out of eight) classes that have a...

I tried many times to run low magic games with 3rd edition. So Martial Power is at the top of my list. Hopefully it will fill in the one hole, a martial controller. Also, I want more options for Fighters so that I can have two Fighters in one party but have them feel very different in choices...

My games generally range across a small continent with lots of travel (like The Lord of the Rings tale). Characters are usually familiar with only one nation and usually not all of that.

I feel like I can either go STR 14 and pick up armor and shields OR I ca go DEX 14 for Astral Fire and better Ref defense. Thanks for helping me. I think the Wizard will focus on fireballs (i.e. mass damage). I hope we'll have a Paladin and a Fighter but there is a small chance we'll have a...

Convert to 4th edition! Since you're only up to level 5 can we that you won't reach the highest levels of Age of Worms until many more D&D supplements come out? The illusionist can use the free Wizard spells posted on wizards.com...

I predict that if you rerun this poll in 48 months then 4th edition will win easily.

Thanks for the help, mrcatman. While I know that Half-elf is less than optimal for a Cleric, I am set on it. I'd consider all other changes except Race & Class. The team has a bow Ranger (my wife), a Wizard, my Cleric, and two other characters (at least one of which will be a Fighter or...

Thanks for helping me frame the question for further investigation. That's why you're a professional designer and I work on the business side. PS: A really big thanks for inventing E6 and polishing it so nicely for FREE. Your kindness shouldn't be forgotten. :bmelee:

I'm looking for feedback on the following character. Is it worth it to get AC:6 for Speed: 5 or better to keep Speed: 6 with AC: 5? Is there a better Half-Elf power for this build? Since psychic rules aren't out yet the goal here is to create a Path of Light style character and file the...
