    Gnomes and Half-Orc Run Amok

    That would be akin to saying use 'Elf' for half elves. But you could take a look at my half-orc: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1043815 http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=230209

    D&D 4E 4e -- Is The World Made Of Cheese?

    Digging underneath your enemies frontline is a time tested age old military tactic. Either you want to get past their walls, or you want to collapse them, or both. Heck, when I was stationed in Korea the boyz up north even dug themselves under and past the DMZ.

    Remembering third editions release

    I was on these forums before, during, and after the release of 3E. I don't remember anything close to the level of hostility for 3E that we're seeing now for 4E. The vast majority both here and on Wizard's forums was pro 3E. A few people expressed interest in sticking with -1E-. You'd get maybe...

    1/2 Orc - A new page for an old race

    The Half-elf had stats that did not reflect elf nor human per say, which is why I went the way I did. I felt that the theme for these two races is just too similar - people between worlds who gain some of the perks from each, and the ability to transition between them. Con just doesn't feel...

    Is 4E still D&D to you?

    it might be a great fantasy game, but it isn't DnD to me.

    1/2 Orc - A new page for an old race

    Inspired by the writeup of the 1/2 Elf, here's my 1/2 Orc: Vision: low-light Abilities: +2 Str +2 Wis Skill bonuses: +2 Insight, +2 Intimidation Tenacity: Select one extra feat at first level from any class, or human or orc. You must meet its other prereqs. Dual Heritage: Can take feats that...

    What are the traps in char design to beware of?

    The testing the build to 20 is good advice. I would definitely suggest making sure at level 1 that you know what feats and powers you will choose up to level 20. No need to stick to that list of course, but make sure you have a general list in mind, and then pick stats to fit it. And think out...

    WoTC in the Frying Pan

    ... I suggest re-examining your theory on Contract law there. I'm not fond of their pricing structure at all... but honestly... I just think that's foolish business planning. As for the delay... shrug. Hardly a violation of any notable legal duty I can spot. Oh, its been a number of years...

    Any word on 4e from the big names?

    Lets hope the GSL has express terms defining explicitly what a 'product line' is. And also that this particular definition, once declared, cannot be altered by future alterations of the GSL.

    Any word on 4e from the big names?

    If you listen to podcasts from some of their sites, its not very pleasant as to 4E and the GSL... I listened to some casts from Green Ronin interviewing themselves and Paizo, as well as a few podcasts linked on their sites, and I got the impression there were stronger plans to throw weight into...

    You and your dice...

    having been a gamer since 1981, and mostly a GM through that period, I have a few hundred dice... And today I got 7 more. For the last few years I have exclusively used jumbo-sized dice for myself and left the rest in a bowl for the players. If I were given a new dice set gift, it would depend...

    Smudges - All Core books

    The only reasons I could imagine for this are: 1. The ink and paper are poor matches for each other. 2. The ink is not yet dry on your copy. This problem is common in printing - most people are familiar with it with newspapers. Would you say what is happening to you is similar to way a newspaper...

    Feat prereqs if your class gives you the feat?

    True, but it would lend weight to the FAQ - which at present seems to say the opposite of what I can find in the book, although that too is rather vague as its not clear on 2 points: 1. Are the proficiencies that come with a class even feats? 2. Is the prereqs for a feat only for training it, or...

    Feat prereqs if your class gives you the feat?

    Hmmm. So, nowhere in print though? FAQs are something I expect to get revised a few thousand times in the coming weeks. :) Hopefully we'll see a character in print that violates the prereqs, or I'll find a page on it.

    Feat prereqs if your class gives you the feat?

    My initial assumption: If a paladin or warrior wants to wear plate armor, she needs a 15 Con AND 15 Str, because that is the prereq for the feat. Where do you get that from? I read it the other way - on prereqs for feats it says that if you ever lose the prereq you can't use the feat anymore...

    Worst Race?

    Where do you get that from? I read it the other way - on prereqs for feats it says that if you ever lose the prereq you can't use the feat anymore. Is there something that says a class that gets it can use it even without the prereq? I'd be very interested in finding that.

    Worst Race?

    Keep in mind that a paladin, even a Cha based one, needs a Str and Con of 15 each (to wear plate). Half-elves thus end up using that Con bonus on Paladin very nicely: ex: 15 13 - 15 10 10 14 14 - 16
