    Sleep is the most worthless spell

    Its the killswitch of the heroic tier. I like the swinginess inherent in the spell. It livens up the game and I enjoy other similar elements in 4e. But then again, I sometimes miss the 'save or die' style effects of earlier editions. But then again, I usually am the DM. :devil:

    Is D&D (WotC) flaming out?

    Interesting debate. I haven't heard this type of debate on ENWorld since before *mumbles*. WotC: D&D 3.0-3.5 - 3 years. TSR: AD&D 2.0-2.5 (Player's Option) - 6 years. AD&D1.0-1.5 (Uneartherd Arcana, etc) - 6 years. What can that mean for our dear hobby?!!? How does Pathfinder factor into...

    One Thing You Can Do to Become a Better DM

    If you're starting a new campaign in a new setting, and that new setting may have some restrictions on races and classes, I suggest the following: During the character generation phase, work with your players to decide what classes and races you will allow. Let them decide what they want to...

    race and music

    This is a good idea. Whenever the PCs encounter one or more gnomes I'll probably put the Star Wars Imperial March on in the background on loop. That makes sense right? C.I.D.

    PC Secrets

    An all secret-all changeling campaign would be interesting -- at least until the dam breaks and everyone realizes they're changelings. That'd be an especially cool Eberron campaign. Maybe all the changelings were agents sent by different nations or factions. Maybe its some sort of ploy by the...

    Who's your favorite Villain?

    Thrawn is a great villain. He had such amazing foresight and gravitas, as well as a cold warrior's heart. His sense of etiquette and his taste in art were an extension of this strategy. Badass. Great in one of his lesserknown appearances -- Outbound Flight. I tried based a SWSE (SAGA)...

    Who's your favorite Villain?

    Sigh ... you're right.... ::defiant:: But Raistlin recanted/repented at the end too right?? There, Raistlin ... best anti-hero villain of the 80's. (Yes IMO, better than Vader) C.I.D.

    Making superhero gear make sense (mostly Marvel related)

    Oh .... you mean in-character or out of character? Actually .... give a tech-monkey hero-equivalent a full-round action and successful Search/Perception/Oggle check and why not turn lady's underthings into a viable garrote. Improvised weapons are cool, especially if dual-use.

    Dude! I ain't go no presents under my Christmas Tree

    Ideas: Echoes of the Soul The remnant soul of a Spell Weaver Pilot (see Monster Manual 3, p. 202 [Epic Level monster]) is the heart of a great tower – the Spiral Tower, the Living Tower, the Redoubt of Magic. The Spell Weaver's Ghost can manifest itself in several forms (choose any type of...

    Is D&D stifling your creativity?

    Sometimes any system stifles my creativity, including day-to-day life in the office. With 4e, its a pretty balanced system that my group generally does not house rule at all, even though its not the 'house of cards' that 3.X was. Our typical rules have merely been restrictions against Dragon...

    OMG... you aren't *HUMAN*!!!

    I'm not convinced that humans are penalized in pre-Essentials 4e. I saw over half of my players and other gamers I know choose humans for some combination of the following: 1) fits my character concept (best answer). 2) works best for my class choice. 3) good defense bonuses + plus the key...

    Making superhero gear make sense (mostly Marvel related)

    Well your baseline for Tony Stark (edit) "is accurate" (/edit) for some segments of IM's history. To name some outliers (includes mild spoilers): - His alcohol problem had little to do with his armor -- but more just his lifestyle and personality. - He also had business problems a lot that...

    Artificer v Cleric for Healer ?

    Artificers also have a lot of secondary advantages, especially they're versatility in damage types. Clerics rely a lot on radiant. Artificer powers (despite its painful lack of support outside of Eberron Player's Guide and 1-2 articles in Dragon) can really spread out across the spectrum. I...
