I get what BryonD is trying to say. It's not a matter of the mechanics, it's a matter of user interface. In some games, your options are things the character could decide to do. In some games, your options are things the player decides to do. In one game you might have your typical D&D level...

If the Dwarf goes into every fight fresh, then Elric is right, the data should show the most results at zero. Is the dwarf at the start of the second encounter impaired in any way he's not at the start?

I have had no trouble ever explaining encounter powers. Sometimes Come and Get It can be a taunt that makes enemies charge them. Sometimes Come and Get It is the fighter standing to block the enemies access to his friends, leading no choice but to attack him. Sometimes Come and Get It is...

You could do the popularity contest wherein each class starts off at say 10 and people can add to one class and subtract from one class once per day per person.

I n my ideal game, the player puts himself in the mindset of the character and acts as him to the best of their ability. Physical stats and dice are used to represent their interaction with the world. I just don't like when someone wants to play a wise character but to do so they'll have to...

Without a special class ability that says otherwise, you can only equip weapons with the offhand property in the offhand. This weapon will allow you to take the two weapon fighting feats and provide no other tangible benefit.

Despite not running either setting I'd probably get these books.

Giant Stags. Giant Dragonflies.

Do the other players want her gone? If they do, you owe it to them to inform her that she won't be playing with you.

High passive perception should find almost any trap. Occasionally it should miss an uber trap.

Consequences for players need to flow from player actions. If you roll on a random encounter table and get six needlefang drake swarms versus a level one party, then it's time to rework your random encounter table, not time to kill all the PCs for no reason. But say that the PCs see several...

Metagame wise, I think you should always, always check with the players about friendly fire to their characters. Tactically speaking, there are plenty of situations where it's fine.

I played a paragon ranger. Straight up damage build. I was highly effective, if I shot things they would die, but it was very, very boring and I am sad I wasted my paragon character on the ranger.

Not really honestly. I make my own stuff and mechanically, making my own stuff is pretty easy. While additional ideas are nice I can't imagine paying for them.

Kill the ranger, spare the barbarian!

Maybe you should have a talk with the DM about what exactly you want out of the leadership feat. Both from a storytelling and mechanical perspective, because I bet you guys can find a compromise if you hash it out.

Voting Ranger. Death to mind numbing simplicity.

The easy raise dead is for the players who want to play their characters, if you don't want to play them then just change. It's a game, it's meant to be fun, there's nothing abusive about getting a new character when an old ones dies. I started my campaign session one but gave people pretty...

Use existing weapon and implement enchants. Tada, problem solved, although I'm sure there are people who will still insist it's a problem.
