    Chaos and Law are IN!

    As long as they're one of the "playable dozen (or so)" in the MM. :)

    So we got the sheets, let's calculate the crunch!!

    Note that with the Ranger, they've replaced "Favored Enemies" with "Hunter's Quarry." So instead of having a class of creatures the Ranger is really good at taking out, instead his so-called 'Favored Enemy' in 4th Ed is, "Him. That guy right over there. UNLESS SOME OTHER ONE OF YOU GUYS WANTS...

    Disappointed by movement

    Depending on how you want to do it and whether or not you as a DM you want mere minions to make that reflex save, you could make it a static DC that happens to be somewhere above the minions' reflex defenses, and below the reflex defense of both the PCs and whatever "guest-star" bad guy you...

    Disappointed by movement

    All I know is that I now REALLY want to set up a nice, climactic fight atop a high cliff or on a narrow bridge over a chasm, just so the rogue/fighter/et al can have the chance to chuck minions over the edge like so many screaming extras in an Indiana Jones movie.... :)

    [Exploits] Ranger Daily: Split the Tree

    Except it's better because while you DO make two attack rolls, you get to pick the better one and use it against BOTH targets. Therefore, if you crit one, ya crit both. "Hi, my name is World O'Hurt and I'll be serving you today."

    D&DExp Character Sheets!

    Back of fighter sheet is up now, as is front & back of Wizard. Yummy goodness abounds! Of note, the Fighter's daily power is listed as "Reliable" with the definition that if it misses, it's not counted as expended for the day. Niftiness!

    D&D 4E Review of 4E from a Playtester

    The comment thread below his article is.... amusing, in that clown-car train wreck sorta way.

    Looks like it's the same number to me: you heal your healing surge value ([x] + con mod) in HP with each surge, and you get ([x] + con mod) healing surges per day, where [x] is the base number for your class.

    D&D 4E Vote for your favorite 4E PHB cover!

    Honestly, I'd have to choose "All of the above." Primarily because I DO like each piece of art, but also to annoy the heck out of the "Oh no, they're going collectible on us!" crowd. :)

    26th level rogue vs. Smiley McFirePants

    I also have a suspicion based on skimming thru SWSE that certain classes get "freebie" increases to primary stats every so often, so the rogue's Dex may very well be higher than what we're using for calculations. We're also not taking into consideration things like Flanking and other...

    26th level rogue vs. Smiley McFirePants

    Actually, yep -- did somethin' quite similar down in the 4E Abilities thread. Here's my post from there in full: Now, I didn't work out damage dealt or anything; I was more concerned about what the rogue's chances were to hit Sr. Pit Fiend with various different mathematical models. I do...

    D&D 4E 4E ability scores

    Pardon whilst I indulge in a bit of mathematical noodling here -- working things out as I type them, then I'll just post the whole mess. Lemme first start with the same setup (for simplicity's sake): Joe Generic the Rogue with 18 Dex, comparing his various Deft Strike attack rolls vs our...

    D&D 4E 4E ability scores

    Now, here's a question -- don't know if we've gone thru this in detail here or not (and I've been following the boards reasonably well). Two assumptions we've got going so far are as follows: 1) Unified BAB as 1/2 level. 2) Ability Score bonuses are base bonus + 1/2 level Take a rogue at two...

    WotC has a milking machine now (Draconomicon I)

    This is your fault, Cadfan, I hope you're proud of yourself! But far be it from me to not pile on whilst the piling is good.... Wang Chung Dragon Per-encounter: Strobe Attack. Cha vs. Will Defense. The dragon's features seem to flicker rapidly, causing seizures in all who view it...

    WotC has a milking machine now (Draconomicon I)

    Aye, the 3.5 Draconomicon comes in at 294 pages; this new one will be 288 pages, and it's only focused on the Chromatics? Color me sold, not just on this one but also on the inevitable Metallics. Oh no, only 12 pages less than double the original book. What a scam. What a ripoff. The...
