I believe the rule of thumb is that rounds tend to move twice as quickly, but that they're balanced by their being twice as many rounds. So combat overall takes as much time as it used to, but you get more done and have more fun.

I think that after a few levels, your weapon choice won't really matter except in terms of flavor. Bonuses from levels and feats will start to overwhelm it.

Yuh huh they do! Anyway. People have already said it, but it bears repeating, meteor swarm is an area burst five spell. That means that you target a spot and it affects everything in a square around that spot. Burst five means it's an 11x11 square, meaning it could hit up to 121 creatures...

Desperate for ammunition, Bodak the Excessively Sneaky rips off one of his own testicles, fits it to the sling, and fires! The testicle hits the tarrasque in the forehead. The tarrasque is unharmed, but mildly disturbed.

You add it as a mod after the dice are rolled. So if you have a power that says 2[W] + Dex mod, then you'd roll 2d10 for your battleaxe, then add your dexterity modifier and +2 from dwarven weapon training. Mods and the like, whether from feats or racial abilities, don't go inside the...

The thing is, Kobu, that you're saying "At level 30, it's useful, it's just nowhere near as useful as it was at level one." Everyone else is saying, "Yes it is. It's just as useful! See? Look! Numbers! Proof!" To which you respond "Nuh uh!" You seem fixated on the idea of marginal...

Garrote Grip Rogue Attack 15 The more your enemy struggles, the less you want to let him go. Daily * Martial, Reliable, Weapon Standard Action (Special) Melee Weapon Special: You can use this power as a minor action if you have already grabbed a creature. Doing so requires no attack roll...

The character sheet doesn't make it possible to actually list what your powers do, which means either making up cards or using the book for every attack. When you start throwing feats in there, you've got a lot of crap to manage.

Heh. Being the Log of Terija the Wise, an Attempt to Discover the Formula of Eternal Youth Tests performed by Elminster, assistant to Terija the Wise Trial 309 One pinch powdered chimera brain two pints virgin's tears mix under the light of a waxing moon, stirring sunwise twice and...

So I decided that "screw dragonborn nobility". I made a dragonborn rogue. I figure she's from a fallen empire, right? She sees the current society as just a pale imitation, a fungus growing on the corpse of a once mighty past, blah blah blah. Laconic, doesn't like people. Anywho. Darjin...

So you first get your father's trusty suit of chainmail reforged (forgemail +4). Then you get it infused with the power of the feywild (spiritmail). And the AC of godmail is 20. Its base +14 and then +6 magical. Warplate is base +11 magical +4, so that should answer your question, see?

I like hairy BACKS and I cannot lie You other blacksmiths can't deny When a maid stumps in with a heavy mace and a braided back in your face you get STERN

Okay, level one fighter with 18 strength. All of his powers are strength vs ac. Only one is str+2 (precision over power). So that's a +4 to hit. Most weapons are +2 to hit and a fighter gets +1 to hit with his chosen weapon style. Take the stormclaw scorpion, AC of 16. The level one...

Sorry, Yuan-ti aren't statted out. Yes, they do all get racial feats. As to how they're balanced... I dunno. A minotaur is going to play a hell of a lot differently from a halfling. The statted races all seem (at a glancethrough) to get a power, a bonus of some kind, and then the skill and...

If you find a +6 plate, it's godplate. That's really all there is to it. Without the bump in masterwork quality, rangers and wizards would eventually have better AC than defenders, which would be uncool. It's a balance issue is all. By the time you get to level 26, you could choose to make a...

And the multiclassing feats only allow a noncleric to get healing word once per day, and similar for the warlord's inspiring word. It's not as broken as you make out.

I've not seen anything about trained only skills. However, I don't see why your fighter* would be able to know an obscure fact about a long dead cult. Sounds to me like that would be a high DC. Low level, untrained, no Int bonus, your fighter probably won't make it. Low level, trained, no...

Not really. What it actually says is Score Cost Score Cost 9 -(1)* 14 5 10 0(2)* 15 7 11 1 16 9 12 2 17 12 13 3 18 16 In other words, the implication from your post is that you can reduce scores, getting points for it. The...
