    Force Grip and dark side points

    Tough call. Back in the d6 day any use of the force to attack was a dark side point. They tool cues from yoda it is used for defense never for attack. Once the prequels came out jedi were force slamming everything that moved. Heck Yoda mr never for attack did that oh so cool shoulder shrug...

    Lightning Bolt too weak?

    I don't think I'd ever take it. The damage is weak, way too weak to justify a no friendly fire benefit.

    WotC announced non-randomized minis

    I'm curious how many people actually wanted randomized minis. I'm boggles that some one would even try to argue the point that most people did not want random. To me it is kind of like saying most people don't like getting groin kicked. About the only people I can see liking random minis...

    Ranged combat, or the lack of....

    True, but when there is difficult terrain there is also frequently cover, so it takes twice as long to get there but they miss twice as often. I don't really see this as an issue though, except in the sense that one of the selling points of 4e is your character always gets to do cool things and...

    wide range of things from take out at Welcome To RAINBOW PIZZA the greatest pizza place on the planet. How I missed it when i lived in NY where despite the rumors there pizza is quite lacking. Or we make things like mac and cheese, tri tip, fried chicken, or burgers and hot dogs. I'm not a...

    WotC announced non-randomized minis

    Yeah the only reason I wanted non-random was so I could buy orc hordes and masses of undead and other groups of common X monster I use in my adventures. I am not going to pay $10 a pack when I can find them online for much cheaper.

    Using Sleep against constructs

    Well also I don't know a universal rule of fantasy that says undead don't sleep. In previous editions they did not, but I can think of lots of novels etc where undead were powered down or something that is effectively sleep. Furthermore to me it makes sense for intelligent undead, at least...

    Ranged combat, or the lack of....

    Yes, your nitpick is correct. The invisible wall is 45 squares. And its around 3 rounds of movement to close the gap, 4 rounds if the target is backing up 6 squares each round on its move action. With the various common movement enhancing effects in 3e and previous editions while the distance...

    Marked targets knowing about Combat Challenge

    For me the difference with a fighters marking is, he might do X to you because he did Y to you. You know of the might X because he did the Y. I think the might happen since it is dependent on the mark is supposed to represent the effect that someone is having a harder time shifting past the...

    Defenders aren't very good at defending?

    Yeah that is how i look at it as well. A high AC helps the fighter do there job in my game.

    Are scry durations too short?

    Because appropriate questions are very hard to come up with and the answers are very much up for interpretation. It is cheaper than scry so they could use the ritual multiple times to refine questions and follow up on answers. But it is hard to adjudicate the fine line between plot breaking...

    New Excerpts: FR: feats and AV: Holy Symbols and Wands

    the art for the holy symbol article threw me. Did they reshrink halflings in the realms or is that just an error, or am i seeing things wrong. Other than that not impressed with the items. The feats were okay, they mostly seemed fairly tame. i liked the wood elf agility one. Saves seem to...

    Going All Evil. Experiences?

    The one evil campaign ive been in that worked was where we were all lawful evil and members of the same organization. In particular the scarlet brotherhood. Who was in charge was easy, he was the Monk. That is how there society was built, monks are in charge. we were basically a military...

    Are scry durations too short?

    Okay, how about virtually every campaign i have made when dealing with a villain who was more than a one shot. Every BBEG in my games has an overall goal, sub goals, and multiple plans in order to reach those goals and plans. Each plan frequently has multiple parts and frequently has...

    D&D 4E Forked Thread: 4e And 4th Wall, was multiclassing - is Arcane Initiate too powerful?

    While his specific example was refuted the general concept wasn't. In the first couple weeks of the game coming out there were a legion of whiskey tango foxtrots? asking why X creature was effected by Y.

    Dangerous Jouneys

    I believe things in your specialty could cast at one difficulty class less if you were a full practitioner. That in effect would translate to faster cast times. Thing is while that made him a powerful caster in many ways this game was a much more balanced magic system. A lot of the spells had...

    Are rogues marginalized by magic?

    That is a good question, though it seems to be phrased more as a negative statement. Does the rogue or heck any class deserve niche protection, and how much? If niche protection is to high, then you are put in the situation where the party needs a rogue, they need a cleric, they need a...

    Are rogues marginalized by magic?

    I disagree, wizards are far more powerful in 3e due to the changes to saves and magic resistance. Sure fireball is weaker, but now save or dies are supreme.
