    I'n a little concerned...

    This has been a really good discussion. Keep the comments coming folks! :)

    I'n a little concerned...

    While I wasn't able to attend the D&D Experience my DM did and he had nothing good to say about 4e and he is one of the more open minded people I know. One of the issues that got me worried is the use of "At Will" abilities vs. a character's base attack. In one of the games he played a Dwarf...

    D&D 4E If Not 4e, Then...

    We've GOT to play together! My sentiments exactly. Barring some version of D&D I'd want to play one of the new World of Darkness games. I love them all (especially Mage and Changeling) but finding a group to play it where I live seems an insurmountable task.

    Grognards?

    So, what if a Grognard is someone who thinks an older edition is superior and a fanboy thinks the new edition is superior what do you call someone who doesn't care what the system is as long as the game is fun to play?

    D&D 4E 4E: The day the game ate the roleplayer?

    Kinda reminds me of Hexen and Hexen 2 in a way. :\

    Your group's tributes to Gary

    Personally I'd like to run my group through Tomb of Horrors to send some PCs to the afterlife with Gary. :) On a serious note we'll probably have a moment of silence and a toast to his memory. Rest in peace Gary.

    Warlock feats... worth it?

    Hoody Hoo! Just checked the erratta... Page 7: Eldritch Blast Second paragraph of the Eldritch Blast ability description: Change “An eldritch blast is the equivalent of a spell whose level is equal to one-half the warlock’s class level (round down), with a minimum spell level of 1st and a...

    Warlock feats... worth it?

    I'm looking at Quicken Spell-Like Ability and Empower Spell Like Ability and I'm wondering if they are even worth it for Eldritch Blast. The Eldritch Blast is basically a spell level half my Warlock level. So... looking at Quicken Spell Like Ability I'd be able to do a quickened 1d6 Eldritch...

    Why Have You Left A Game or Campaign?

    You left out an option on the poll I've left an ongoing campaign if I've found a group playing a game I'd rather play. Life is too short not to play the game you want to. If I'm currently playing D&D but I really want to play Vampire then I'll jump ship if I find a good Vampire game. Why...

    Hideous Blow Question

    So you "Charge" your weapon on the round before stepping into melee range and on the following round you step in and take your swing? You effectively get to make a melee attack every other round? YUCK!!! Why on earth would anyone take it? Wouldn't it make more sense to take a 5' step away...

    Hideous Blow Question

    I've got a question about Hideous Blow for the Warlock... Since it is an Invocation I assume that it provokes an AOE if used in melee (which is the only place you'd use it). Casting on the defensive is the only way to avoid it. Am I correct? Kinda seems a pain to roll Concentration prior to...

    D&D 4E 4e . . . the RIFTSization of D&D!!!

    Um... the SDF-1 ALWAYS was MDC. The Robotech RPG (produced by Palladium) introduced the concept of MDC. Personally I want a Headhunter piloting a Veritech Hover Tank. Not only does it have laser resistant armor in a world where the laser is the most common MDC weapon but it has Arm Shields...

    Help me devise a My Little Pony game.

    It would work if you modified it a bit... maybe something like this! My Little Ponies OF THE APOCALYPSE!!!!

    D&D 3.x Anyone lose their enthusiasm with 3E or purchasing 3E products?

    Yep... I haven't bought a 3.X product since the official announcement of 4E. I'm not sure that my group wants to switch to 4E right off the bat though since we have been playing an Eberron campaign for the last several months and have only just made 5th level.

    Your preference for how "fragile" 1st-level character should be

    I like the Star Wars SE method of having capable characters at 1st level. It allows me to throw a larger variety of villains at them.

    Running games with unintended systems. . .

    I've wanted to run Midnight using Palladium rules (EEEEK!!!). Say what you will but as yet Palladium is the only system I've run across which has a combat system where characters can get away without wearing armor (I like the Attack/Parry/Dodge/Roll rules). Also, the fact that armor and...

    D&D 4E What Campaign Settings would you like to see for 4e?

    I'd like to see a setting where psionics don't seem to be added as an afterthought. However, I'd like it to be a european style fantasy setting too so Dark Sun doesn't quite cut it. I'd also like to see Al'Quadim back. :)

    Are Gognards killing D&D?

    This thread is too good to let die... time for a bump. :)

    Effects lasting until the end of the encounter, w00t!

    I never really had that problem with the White-Wolf system where many of the "Powers" last for a Scene. I'd probably treat it as such for non-combat uses of spells such as Bull's Strength.
