Yeah, I could see the Summoner needing to perhaps lose the light armor and drop down to a d6 HD. The free Summon Monster spells on top of the other spells plus the Eidolon companion does seem a bit high powered.

Really like the Witch. I was unsure on the Summoner at first, I just couldn't wrap my head around the concept of the Eidolon in terms of being a summoned creature, but unique to each caster... Then I thought about it some more and decided that the Eidolon is the culmination of their...

I believe in 3E, although its possible that the trend may have started in Planescape during the 2E years, but I'm pretty sure the complete dropping of "prime" was in third.

Seconded.

I wonder if cutting the DDM sets down to 2 a year is more a sign of tightening up the finances? Maybe a sign of the current economic times?

Uh yeah, I know it varies from table to table, but for my games, logic ALWAYS superseded RAW. Sometimes that even works in the player's favor when the rules would normally disallow them attempting something that they should reasonably be capable of doing. But as for the shark, yeah many species...

Add me to the group that says too many. For my group, its not that they are too difficult to keep up with, but just too fiddly. Kind of takes some of the fun out of it. Like some have mentioned, its all the conditional elements that go along with it.

No, I don't play any MMO's...and that's one of the big reasons why. I like to actually own/keep what I buy.

Ah, I see. I don't subscribe so I wasn't aware it was a download you got to keep. I guess as long as you keep it backed up you'll have it forever.

What happens when WOTC does do a 5E, and everything in the DDI vanishes? Those who only subscribe and don't buy the books...what happens when the 4E material is no longer there? Didn't Rouse bascially beg folks to keep buying the books?

Happy birthday! If it weren't for you we wouldn't have this wonderful site!

I like the new mechanic, makes more sense and works just fine. As for fluff, I felt like it had tons more. More than the 3.0/3.5 MM did. I really like that some of the monsters moved back to some of their classic origins, like the Rakshasa for example. I also like the simplified variants in...

I saw an article recently about giant eagle fossils/remains found somewhere in the world recently that indicated they had been around sometime in the past few thousand years. The locals had legends about the birds that no one really believed until these remains were found. Supposedly they were...

suh-weet! Got mine. Wow. This is a purty book. I've been pretty disappointed with the artwork in recent releases from a company I shall not mention, and I have to say, it's refreshing to see some artwork I really dig again!

Of the 14 regular gamers I know, I am the only one. I've pointed out the site and mentioned interesting topics and news, but alas, no one seems to have any interest in the online community. None of us have accounts or lurk at the WoTC boards.

This is what I think the future of tabletop gaming is. Pretty cool, but hopefully something like this would be capable of running with and without rules. In other words, not tied to any specific edition of rules.

Interesting! I always prefer real world names and ties to mythology over the made up ones, so that sounds pretty good. Perhaps I shall use the Paizo names after all...

Works for me! I think I'm going to change Azata to Asura though (even if Asura was a singular creatures in earlier editions). And I think I'm going to call Agathions (never liked that name) Wardenals, and combine the concept of Gardinals and Warden Beasts.

Hmmmmm. That completely changes my mind on a big Planar book. That could actually be very useful and interesting.

Honestly, the only thing in his sig that mentions 4E is a lable indicating that a particular quote came from a 4E fan. Everything in his sig is actually pretty edition neutral. Perhaps its disingenuous to list the quote in that way, but I won't presume to attribute any motives. I think we're...
