    Jade Empire 4E game

    If I were to use 4e, for the unarmed combat styles I'd pick a few classes. And then look at a standard weapon they would use and give them that benefit. Take a ranger, a two weapon style ranger might use 2 long swords, or with the right feat 2 bastard swords. So I'd just say a Tiger Style or...

    "It's a joke name, sir."

    At work I bumped into a name again that always makes me giggle. Ed Gurr I think the parents are frickin awesome on this one.

    "Stuck" playing 4e (i.e. unwilling converts)

    I found the 1e/2e wizards less powerful and more magical. I'm tempted to run a 2e game or maybe hackmaster because i loved the feel of magic in the earlier editions. Its kind of funny when I was playing 2e I complained about how worthless the save or die spells were because the odds of a...

    New to Shadowrun

    4e SR. I'm playing in 2 games of it now. The rules are more streamlined than previous edition's and you can basically wing it off of the core concept of attribute+skills+or-mods. The exception seems to be the matrix, which is program+skill because being smart doesn't help you with computers...

    Dresden Files RPG, from Fate 3.0 rules?s

    Um wow Rechan that was awesome. Thank you. It sounds fairly cool, though it may take some getting use to that dice rolling system. And Psion thank you for the link to your review, it was very informative.

    Dresden Files RPG, from Fate 3.0 rules?s

    The Dresden Files RPG will be using the Fate 3.0 rules which was shown first apparently in the Spirit of Adventurer game. And the Fate rules are base doff of FUDGE. I love the books, but I don't know anything about FUDGE, spirit of the century, and Fate 3.0. Anyone with some insights so I...

    Force Orb Question

    Um, I don't think that post means what you think it means. Because while the exact words 'one hit away from death' were not used, it is clear that post actually means that.

    Mearls on Controller design and At-Will balance

    Its the only stated problem from the designer. Others seem to think there are other porblems, like there is no decent core controller feature in the class abilities.

    Mearls on Controller design and At-Will balance

    While I think it should be a flat amount to avoid certain absurd builds, -1 seems weak when a feat can give -2. A class ability should at least equal to a feat, in fact it should be feat+. I really don't know what the orb wizard should get, if it stacks with the feat it can quickly get nasty...

    Mearls on Controller design and At-Will balance

    Before being a smart alack you might want to read the entire post. You know the line oldtimer quoted where the person said all those skills keyed off intelligence. And then oldtimer was polite enough to correct him.

    D&D 4E 4e is BROKEN if you ignore a major rule

    Its a level 20 Blood mage daily. If you hit it does 6d6+int mod, causes 10 ongoing psychic damage and stuns the target, save end both effects. On miss it is stunned until end of your next turn. It is burst 3, 20 range. only hits enemies. I'm not sure why someone would want to miss since...

    For former Wizard fans stuck playing 4e...(Forked)

    I'm thinking the same thing then. Only I read yes but, and plenty of rules covering thing. Like hey ghost sound. What kind of sounds does it create, oh non-vocal ones. and yet, the say yes crowd somehow sees that as meaning yes to duplicating someones voice in speech. Or saying yes to mage...

    For former Wizard fans stuck playing 4e...(Forked)

    So in other words you spent a daily to get an additional +5 to your roll. And not +5 to bluff overall, but +5 to bluff to help with a disguise. Yeah, that was worth a utility slot. And my point isn't that you made a bad choice amongst those utilities, but all the utilities are bad. They...

    Not really. That solves the gingling armor and that is it. He still sound slike himself not the guy he is impersonating. You know the other guard., in a two guard pair.

    Open Grave Excerpt: Rituals and Artifacts

    Yeah and it never wrecked a game for us in earlier editions. I miss craziness sometimes. 4e offers different kind of fun though.

    Open Grave Excerpt: Rituals and Artifacts

    I think Libris Mortis was the best of those. So if this is the 4e Libris Mortis it will be awesome.

    "It's a joke name, sir."

    In our current camapign a player who picked a Tiefling as a race noticed one of there normal names was Baracas. So he is BA Baracas. I think its totally cool. In real life, I've met people with these names, 3, Littlebirdwithbrokenwingshallflyagain, Zee McPhail, Thomas Thomas, Big Cannon...

    What was so bad about the Core 2e rules? Why is it the red-headed stepchild of D&D?

    without the accent or whatever they are called over the N I was like what is a peen-a-tas? Now I'm like oh yeah the candy filled things you hit with a stick. Who says violence does not solve anything.

    Things I don't like about the 4E DMG - part 1 of 1000

    I'd say there is a difference with wish though. Wish explicitly said in its power description if you ask for more than this you will be screwed with. In this case you are asking for scry to do what it explicitly says it will and should do. And then the DM still screws with you. Scry is a...
