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

    By the way is there a cheaper way to avoid scrying during your clandestine meeting or other short time event than rope trick?

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

    While it is not brilliant, using your abilities effectively is intelligent. And I did not find anything in the OPs post insulting or a personal attack. He just said coming up with bad lies and blaming in on the PCs wont work on adults. I fail to see how that is insulting to Wyatt. I think...

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

    The sad thing for us is dropping the big bomb the cleric seems to do better. Per opponent it is a little less damage, but being able to drop it where ever they want has meant a lot more targets have been hit. Not sure if it changes at higher levels, but right now battlefield control not so...

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

    IIRC the Int sub-abilities were actually fairly balanced. One side was like reasoning and the other memory. Memory effected the max spells known per level, logic the %chance to learn a spell. But yeah the strength divide kind of wrecked any chance of those ever being used in my games. Lots...

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

    And he did not notice that your voice was different than Joe the guards. Or that you did not clank from the armor you did not wear, or all the other problems with disguise self. And even if this were so, how often does a disguise self situation come up? Once every couple adventures? So you...

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

    If a DM follows the advice in the DMG the vast majority of examples of why cantrips are cool that I've seen on this board would not be allowed. I think a lot of the wizards appeal was lost in that they over killed utility spells so they would not step on the toes of skills. Take levitate...

    Making and Playing a Badass Wizard: How?

    I am beginning to think what makes a bad assed wizard is a bad assed DM. Depending on the monsters, terrain, how the monsters spread out or group up, all play factors in how awesome the wizard does. The same may be true for all classes, but I think it is an us or them scenario. If its good...

    Two-blades ranger with two bastards - kosher?

    That was to dramatically illustrate how long they were shooting. They shot up a forest for so long, they ran out of Ammo in a Arnold movie.

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

    Thing is how much more complex was 1es language. Were either of them complex enough in order for this to be a real issue? And that is where I say nope. It is sort of like saying bench pressing 50lbs is easier than bench pressing 60lbs. Well yeah sure, but they are both really easy. It...

    Anima: Beyond Fantasy "RPG"

    That kind of tech kind of reminds me of naruto. Fantasy story, fantasy level tech for many things, and then they have cameras, power lines, and outboard motors, though sail boats are the norm. Oh and hey $37 on Amazon. Prefer to buy things at Gator games my local store, but that cost...

    Anima: Beyond Fantasy "RPG"

    sounds cool. I don't normally complain about cost, but its like $60, is it a 1 book purchase to play the game or do i need to but the "DMG and Monster Manuel" as well. I got the money, but I don't like it when I feel like someone is overcharging me. It sounds like I could run a Naruto...

    My armour hinders my recovery from... Lycanthropy??

    yeah, i actually don't have a problem with this. Its kind of like if I have a cold, I don't usually go the the gym to lift weights. I'd rather spend my energy on getting well, not getting bigger muscles. Is the armor check penalty a perfect fit for disease resistance, well no but it isn't a...

    Two-blades ranger with two bastards - kosher?

    One, I like the picture. two i have no problem with it either, except I'd like bigger pseudo magical effects. Heck, I'd have no problem if there was a martial power on a ninja class where they breathed fire, chopped foes with there sword while 6 squares away, and just say they are gathering...

    You must watch this scene on continuous loop until you come over to the true path. (anyway to just have the link, and not like the video pop up??) YouTube - Predator - Sweeping the Jungle

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

    1e was not complex language, it was just poorly written prose. Throwing in a couple vocab words that I somehow understood when I was 8, does not make it for the highbrow smarty pants intellectual types. I just don't get this argument. AD&D came out when I was around 6, I started playing it...

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

    Huh, what? AD&D was for people with a brain?? 2e dumbed things down?? Really how was 2e dumbed down. Somehow I don't see the removal of the Assassin class as dumbing down the game. Heck I'd say 2e actually added a lot of elements to the game that helped people use there brains more. As...

    Where Has All the Magic Gone?

    It would be an exaggeration to say I've never seen a fantasy world where magic was treated by the inhabitants like something mundane and non-magical, but it is not a big exaggeration.
