Here is what I see: 1) A Skill ENCOUNTER should have as much (or little) preperation as a Combat Encounter. 2) Much as a Combat Encounter has rewards and penalties, so should a skill encounter. 3) Just as a Combat Encounter has a "ideal" solution, so should a skill. 4) The DM, not the...

My suggestions: For Flintlocks, Matchlocks, Blunderbuss etc. make them an encounter power, nice and simple, even if a tad "slow on the reload" for a 5 minute encounter. You can add a feat like "Brace of Pistols" to allow an extra use of the Power each encounter. For more modern firearms...

Or more importantly the non specialized Wizard in 3e (or any edition before) who would get to cast one magic missile A DAY and then get busy with crossbow or if things got real hairy staff, and if they got downright TPK, dagger... From what we have seen it doesn't look like there are a ton of...

I neve bought a single Eberron product, nor a single Realms product, why? Because I hated the fluff in both of those settings. Realms is great to read a book about, but to actually play or run it is horrible from where I'm sitting. Eberron had no connetion with me at all. I liked Greyhawk...

Pinotage, I am very confused by what you think multiclassing is exactly. You have yet to define it in any way which would make 3.x more acceptable than 4e. The biggest thing is there really is no such thing as multiclassing as far as the characters are concerned. They simply have the ability...

Show me one 5th level Fighter of any edition that can deal out 88 points of damage as a MINIMUM like a 5th level Wizard/Sorcerer can with a Fireball into a "room" full of creatures. Show me one Fighter who can create "Save or Die" situations come 9th level or above, especially effecting more...

And I would declare them a dead creature if they've had them more than a day. Feeding them are a problem and since rats are cannibilistic and tend to eat their weight each day...

I guess having class specific, as well as class lead in, as well as "general" paragon paths are asking too much from the extrapolative thinking centers of some people here. Exerpt means it is a brief sample, not encompassing. Heck we didn't even get all the info on the paths presented, so...

So I've been following some of this 4e stuff ;) and it seems to me that some classes are "optional". A class can be defined by role, power source, and a lil fluff. Now since we already know how the different classes filled roles under the previous editions, I think it is important to note that...

If you don't have the 4th Edition Core rulebooks in your paws by June 9th, then you must send me $75.00 U.S. I can be paid cashiers check, paypal, or beer. ;) On a less serious note ;), what may be my Pro may be your Con, so it is real hard to tell you what is a pro/con without actually being...

Healing surge is only = 1/4 max hp for DDM, and NPC's/Monsters. For PC's it is a different mechanic entirely. It involves a base roll of the die, and then can be affected by modifiers (Healing Word for example). This thread has good examples of PC's using healing surges.

Making sweet whoopie to a Succubus all night... :p

Correct, and there are also "plenty" of abilities, feats, powers, etc. which will rely on not just CON, but all attributes. I'd say for the min-maxer there will be the opportunity to "stack" three stats and tank the other three and be viable though limited in what all they can do. Likewise...

Not so fast, there is nothing stating that you would only have one such daily power. You could have 4 daily powers all with "once per day, when you die", we simply do not have enough information to assume that kill 'em twice would be enough nor that it would make rituals no longer work after...

Rogues can only sneak attack with certain weapons, and I don't believe any weapon with reach is included on that list. You cannot disengage from an adjacent enemy and then charge the same enemy in the same turn without drawing an AoO. Shifting only puts you 1 square away from your previously...

The last power source will of course be... PIE.

Clark, come on, your forum name is Orcus, you have a demon as an avatar, you run NECROMANCER games. Of course you are trying to force your opinion on us. ;) Either that or overrun us with undead demonic hordes... :] And I agree with ya, except I'm not sure if Caves of Chaos will TPK a...

The real answer lies in a single simple statement: Their will to survive is greater than their desire to give up. That simple statement cover the vast majority of r/l examples, (How did settlers in a turf house survive in the middle of the Dakotas with the nearest military fort 200 miles away...

Found this little browser game. As casual or hardcore as you want it to be. You can create players, get a team, and basically play some football. It is US Football, but uses a League system similiar to European Football, i.e. Worst team in a league drops down a notch, best team in a league...

Except of course we already know you won't be getting a new power every level... every other level makes it about just over 5 per choice, every third level makes it 8 per choice...
