Fun.

In the game I'm in the DM announces what the attack result was before I have to decide, and I've yet to use Shield at all. The party has a lot of melee types so I'm rarely in the front row, and the times I have been hit the result has been more than 4 points higher than my defences. I'm starting...

Toughness looks to me to be pretty much a gimme for most classes, at least at at the low heroic levels. At higher levels I could see one of the defender classes swapping it out; I'm not sure my Wizard will ever want to.

You people lack any imagination! Here's my totally innovative list of feats my Wizard is taking: 1: Toughness, Leather Armour prof. 2: Initiate of the Faith 4: Improved Initiative 6: Action Surge 8: Acolyte Power (Swap 6th level utility for Bastion of Health - I like healing.) 10: Linguist...

I play rather than DM so there isn't as much on Paizo's product list for me. My only real experience with their output is playing through Age of Worms: if Paizo had gone to 4e I'd worry that I'd have to go through a similar experience.

Excerpt from Adventurers Vault at WotC: a stat block for an Airship These are a common fantasy trope and I'm happy to see some mechanical support for them early in the new edition.

"One Final Sacrifice", yeah. In most parties I've seen a dark pact warlock would be called on to make their own final sacrifice long before they reach level 29. For the good of the party and all...

Here in Canberra the "newsstand" price - they are only available at the one game store that I've ever seen - was more like $AU 16 each when I last bought them. At the time the Australian dollar was about $US .80, give or take. This is a vast improvement.

A Str/Dex Ranger has a perfectly adequate AC, and is the basis for the Scimitar Dance Ranger/Stormwarden build.

Batten had worked at Wizards for less than a year: his CV is here. I'm not sure the failures of Gleemax necessarily had much to do with his crime.

I think Fey Step Trailblazer is going to be a popular feat, and Arcane Insight is a good utility to see on the Wizard list. "Shunt Between Worlds" probably shows how forced teleport is going to be nerfed. As for Mithrendain itself, I'm not quite so keen. I like my faerie to be more alien.

I think the melee vs ranged division is more important than defender vs other roles. The move+charge combo makes monsters (and PCs) much more mobile than in 3rd ed: a party has to have at least one character ready to fight HTH. If the party is composed of a Str Cleric, a two-weapon Ranger and a...

I don't think Wizard's - at the moment - would be that upset by the limited number of companies that are using the GSL. The impression I have is that WotC's corporate belief is that the d20 license didn't work and that the OGL wasn't much (or even any) use for them. As far as they're concerned...

This looks like it's the Bruce Cordell issue! Author or co-author on five articles.

Likewise on both counts! Will many changes need to be made to make it GSL compliant?

The Wizard's 2009 product page has updated with the June 09 releases: Eberron Campaign Guide, E2 Kingdom of the Ghouls and DU4 Arcane Towers Dungeon Tiles.

My experience is that strikers are the ones that suck. Maybe it's cause I'm rolling well and the two strikers in the party are rolling badly, but I just haven't seen them inflicting that much more damage than the defenders. Also, it might be because we've only had one solo fight, and in that...

It sounds like I have pretty much the same wizard: 18 Int, MM, Scorching Burst and Thunderwave as my at-wills. I'm having no problems slaughtering kobolds.

I've been playing a Wizard in a seven member party - every class except Rogue is present - through Kobold Hall in the DMG and the first parts of KotS. In some fights I haven't been a major contributor, but even then I've had something to do. In other fights such as the second last one in KH and...

After a fight we had with some Gnome Skulks Aglarond looks like a great choice for Clerics, Fighters, Paladins and Wizards. They can all benefit from a good Wis and none of them get Perception as a class skill. On the other hand Luruar and the Moonshae Isles look somewhat less than awesome...
