    wall of fire + wall of ice

    If the puddle is in your pants, then it can damage your pride. :D

    wall of fire + wall of ice

    FWIW, I agree with you. Despite that, there will be DMs who rule otherwise - hence DM/table variation as per my last post.

    wall of fire + wall of ice

    I think its pretty much gonna depend on the DM. There are strong arguments in favor and against this working.

    Fewer conditions?

    Personally, I like Weakened, both as a player and a DM. In our group, it seems to elevate the importance of some other actions that don't get used very often. Plus, flavor wise, doing half damage feels very different than getting a penalty to hit which is far too common already with...

    Fewer conditions?

    Magic items suffer from a psuedo condition issue as well. I have 3 players in my group that have the War Ring (IIRC). Basically, on a successful save, another ring wearer within a certain distance can make a save as well. This property can happen only once a round. We constantly have to to...

    Any DDI News?

    I think that demonstrates just how tight their resources are - knowing that a new stat block is on the horizon and they are delayed in having it ready for DDI. The alternative is that its simply bad project management. For now, I will believe it is the former rather than the latter.

    Any DDI News?

    When there was no update to the Monster Builder this month I went searching as to why. Obviously the answer was "it was taking longer to implement the new stat block changes than we thought." But I did find this tweet on WotC's twitter page which leaves me cautiously optimistic something might...

    Fewer conditions?

    I think allowing 2 actions a turn would be a good concept. It would make for some difficult tactical choices - drink a potion? Attack and move? Quarry/curse and attack or quarry/curse and move? Daze would still be pretty good with only 2 actions instead of 3, with the dezee getting choose...

    Let's speculate what the Essentials line rules will look like

    IMO, the Essentials Line is a major experiment by WotC - its the first time in the history of D&D that they are essentially halting the production of books mid edition. While they aren't truly stopping the production of books the focus has obviously changed to new players. This will drive...

    D&D 5E (2014) What campaign is next?

    I think this makes a lot of sense. We have already seen psuedo support for Ravenloft in the form of Domains of Dread articles. Ravenloft would also be significantly different and allows for a wide range of playtypes as each realm has its own Age (bronze, mideval, etc). It may even have rules...

    No more WotC Star Wars site

    I agree with you on all of this except when you factor in that the license is currently owned by WotC. As Mathew L. Martin points out, Star Wars has diminished returns after the first few main books are put out and the numbers likely aren't big enough for corporate shareholders to be invested...

    No more WotC Star Wars site

    I'll give you these points, however, the live action series has been in planning for a long time, more than 5 years in fact. People can only be excited for so long. Cartoons only appeal to a small segment. My main point is this - the movies are what generate the interest in Star Wars - for...

    I can't give you XP Weem, but nicely done! Looks sharp!

    D&D 5E (2014) What campaign is next?

    I would dearly love to see Mystara. With WotC going old school with the Red Box and the soft cover essentials line, it would make sense to bring back an old feel with Mystara. Having said that, I agree with other posters that it may not be different enough from established worlds already produced.

    What rule does your group ignore?

    We often ignore the assist another person in Skill Challenges. IMO, only in rare cases should this be allowed. We also, often roll initiative in Skill challenges and don't allow players to delay their turn. This makes sure everyone actively participates, it forces players to listen to the...

    Out running a temple

    Based on the title, I was expecting a lot of gazeebo jokes in this thread.
