The quote is asinine. It's fine to not want those people at your table, it's awful to say that gaming should not cater to their style. There are different styles of roleplaying, and if you're keen on being elitist about it, go check out the Forge.

Eladrin -- nice to see high elves as a campaign default. I didn't like it at first, but once it saw play I did.

I believe hearing that a large number of ranged minions concentrating their attacks effectively can be ugly for a level+0 encounter. I also recall hearing that large numbers of melee minions are generally somewhat dull, however, with three characters with AOE attacks, it sounds fun for those...

You could have your unique dragon keep his plot line, and be a renegade follower of Zehir -- that is, the dragon followed the lizard god until they grew too powerful, and then abandoned him. Orcus may be trying to court the dragon as well, although dracolichdom is not all that pleasing to...

I wrote a lot of responses, but I'd mainly like to pop in and say that your group appears to have too much arguing in it. If you're having arguments that necessitate apologies frequently with your gamers, find new gamers. If you can't find new gamers, stop playing until you can. Save the...

Yes, in theory, however no one bought in.

My White Wolf game plays about once every month, sometimes every couple months. Usually a 8-12 hour affair. Works fine, it's a fun time.

Echo for emphasis.

Flipping through, I really don't like the flavor of the class... Seems like it didn't translate well to 4E though so far. I'm curious how Keith Baker feels about these guys!

I think it might make solo/elite monsters extra difficult, and normal encounters less difficult. Probably not a huge deal unless everyone in the group does it at once though, and the above mentioned benefits are solid.

The terms make running the game quicker and easier. They are arbitrary. It's also silly to worry about. This sort of stuff does not come up during gameplay. The players are still a fighter, rogue, cleric, and wizard, facing off against a goblin wearing robes, three berserkers, and two...

Asking right after 4E came out might give you a different idea as well. Diehard gamers are more likely to step up to the DM plate I imagine, but after gaining some experience with the systems as a player, less experienced gamers step up as well sometimes. And, if 4E works as planned, that...

Er. So is it a free action, that you can't reroll? If making a check to gain monster info is a free action, and you can make infinite free actions a round, it's an auto take 20 RAW. (There is no limit on free actions, right?) Please tell me how this is mistaken -- I'm sure it's against the...

Do dilattante and the warlock multiclass feat let you use eyebite twice an encounter?

Darksun, Ravenloft. I've never played Al-Qadim as I started w/ 3E, but I'd pick it up if they updated it.

Small creatures have big heads and big hands for me. Anyway, just use the table in the PHB for dice conversion I would say. Rolling mixed batches of dice works, and can smooth the numbers out, but, eh. And going from 2d4 > 2d3 is -2 avg. damage rather than -1. And d3s stink, extra...

I imagine it will also be a largely inconsequential rule in 4E -- there are very few monsters who will miss you on a 17 that you will be fighting throughout the levels -- and that's the only time the +3 AC would come into play after a nat 20.

Life trap is a melee minion destroyer. A DM against a party with a scourge would not be able to use many minions, as well as many pre-statted encounters in the book. However, if you don't have a wizard, this would be fine probably. You've also got an at-will weapon-based power that gains...

Ug, yeah, the way warlords heal, though I like it, should not damage the undead. (They could heal the undead normally though, I would say.) So, I imagine I would limit it to a divine power source, as that resonates better. Anyway, my party doesn't include a warlord. I'm just interested in a...

I thought you made stealth checks vs. passive perception from monsters, and they could later roll to try and spot you. However, I think that only because of things I read on the boards. Is this wholly uncorrect? The flowchart speaks differently. (I would rather it was vs. passive simply to...
