First see, you are very wrong in the real world, much less a fantasy one. If you think inheritence is a long standing practice, or for that matter even legal in most of the world, you are sadly mistaken. Items that the PC brought with him from his homeland are one thing, something they...

First, casting a spell might be easier than swinging a sword. Second, being on fire hurts, even if it is just a small portion of your clothing on fire, however, I can tell you that people can easily ignore pain in life or death situations. Action movies might take it to some extremes, but when...

There are only 4 core classes and they are all still in 4e, Cleric, Fighter, Magic user, and Thief, which could all only be human, you could also play a Dwarf or an Elf as a racial class instead. ;)

So targetting the floor should secondary everything adjacent to the floor, including the caster and and his allies, can't have it both ways.

No companies have purchased as the sale has not been officially offered. Necro has stated they are going 4e, if able that is. And I wouldn't be surprised to see a free adventure from them GSL or no. Lawsuits over free material that are based upon conjecture of material that may or may not be...

My speculation is something along the lines of this: Feat and/or utility power every even level. At will powers every third level. Encounter powers every sixth level Daily powers every ninth level.

Dreamchaser, can you target the arm of a creature 4e RAW? Can you target one leg of a table 4e RAW? Since the answers to both of those are NO, then you cannot say the floor is an object AND call a hit location on the floor. The problem with targetting the floor is you can NOT miss it. So if...

First you have the presumption of the fireball wrong. The red pearl explodes at a predefined point in space UNLESS it hits something first. There is not a standard "to hit" roll with fireball (3.x version) and with 4e fireball it is an attack on all critters in the area. Once again no initial...

Refactory period = a period of time during which an organ or cell is incapable of repeating a particular action. Refactory period = the recovery phase after orgasm during which it is physiologically impossible for an individual to have additional orgasms.

I'm at work atm, so don't have Keep on the Borderlands handy, but iirc, the Kobold caves say that specifically.

Khaim, you are kidding right, DC 5, you mean someone can miss the ground? I don't ever even try and I keep hitting the ground day after day. In fact I can't miss it if I try. Trying to hit a specific spot on the ground might be DC5, but if you miss that spot you'd hit another spot... The...

Pet classes are almost always more powerful than non-pet classes. Ranger + companion can make over 10 attacks per round in 3e. Hunter in WoW is still needs to be nerfed. I like the idea of pets (whatever their form) getting one action per round, no daily powers. Summoned are easiest in my...

You are right, it was one of the first house rules we did and I often forget we never have played D&D RAW due to the number of inconsistencies. Makes no sense that a 1st Level Wizard with a Two Handed Sword with a -4 to hit can hit a creature with an AC of 40 on a 20 but can't make a DC 40...

To the OP, why, because it makes it less swingy. Nothing sucks more than having 20+ ranks in a skill and rolling a 1. Too bad you fail. Likewise you can make an atomic bomb if you roll a 20 on a Int check for engineering... Multiple checks allows for less swing. The way they are introducing...

My impression is that overall Feats are Passive, Powers are Active. They either modify powers (like Golden Adept), allow more options (multiclassing has been hinted at requiring a feat(s) and it would appear the Cleric has a feat which allows it to get a "set" of encounter powers of which it...

Considering I've never had a 3.x group ever get close to 20, infinity is not a good answer... XP per level in 4e is dependent on the amount of free alcohol the DM is provided each night. So a DM should take the encounter(s) XP multiply it by a baseline of 1.1 per ounce of actual alcohol (so 80...

Bard Powers: Pump Up The Volume: Encounter, +d10 sonic damage to an ally's next hit. Walk this Way: at will, allow one ally to shift towards the bard. Stairway to Heaven: Daily, once per day, when the Bard dies, a stair appears and a host of Axes come and take one +30 v WILL attack action...

In the example that had been given thought it was 12-15-18 for E-M-H. That might be for just level 1 characters, and it "feels" better than 10-15-20. Everything else looks/feels right... Seems like one of the big things is to pretty much allow the players to come up with a way to use ANY of...

First and foremost there are basically only three places in the world to get any large scale hardbound printing done, China, India, or Canada. Now depending on how the exact process goes down, (after final proofs have been signed off on) being at the printers means that book is in the queue...

El Camino Real is not actually one road. It exists in Mexico, California, Arizonia, and Texas. New Mexico has the oldest "branch" of the El Camino Real outside of Mexico. It is more or less the equivalant of the Interstate Highway System of today. As far as why to travel the old road, well...
