Yet another reason to throttle down bandwidth. The two things you mention can easily veer into illegal territory (downloading copyrighted material) or can upset other customers (viewing porn).

I think it's a good idea, as long as the store is smart about it. * Secure the WiFi. You don't want people in nearby stores stealing your bandwidth. Change the password on a weekly or even daily basis. Yes, it means people have to retype the password each time...but that encourages people to...

The part in italics changes my answer. So... Defender - What I'd want to play is an eladrin shielding swordmage with a starting Int of 20, wielding a longsword. Great defenses, an interesting secondary role of controller...but can only mark one target. Until you get Double Aegis (at Paragon)...

That's not what my PHB2 says: Overland Flight - An overland flight speed works like a fly speed with one exception: While you are in the air using your overland flight speed, you crash if you take any action other than a move action to use overland flight or a free action. (emphasis added)

(Posted from my G1 phone) So, is the following legal for a 16th level Scion of Arkosia? * Start adjacent to foe * Use breath weapon (minor) * Use Storm Walk to shift 1 and make a ranged attack (standard) * Use overland flight to go 12 squares straight up (move) On the following turn: * Land...

(Posted from my G1 phone) Two points to consider: * Some games can't be fixed with house rules. Living campaigns like Living Forgotten Realms. Convention games where people expect to play D&D, not some homebrew variant. * There is no feat for non-weapon, non-implement attacks like a...

With Martial Power, I was able to order and download the PDF on release day. I plan to do the same thing with the PHB 2. Then, if I like it enough to get a physical copy, I can go and purchase one after the big rush, without missing out on the content in the meantime.

There are 9 months of publications that you'd have to go back and fix under your solution. All the published modules, LFR modules, issues of Dungeon...your solution is simply not practical. Giving a +1 per tier bonus fixes the issue without that complication.

I'm going to vote for the latter, since I'm not the first person to come to that conclusion about your posts. The problem is, you state this like it's not only someone who wants to be the best, but someone who simply wants to be an equal. The former is a problem, the latter is not. Meaningful...

Now you're telling people how to enjoy the game. People get enjoyment from different things. Some focus on playing a role. Some focus on the enjoyment of winning (or surviving) against tough odds. Some like to tinker with the mechanics to make an efficient character. Some like to have their...

Well, with an average of 3 combat encounters a day, and about 2 skill challenges in that same day (which I would say is the average in my 4E experience), you have a total of 3 action points to spend. Each combat generally takes between 5 and 10 rounds. If we average things out to 7.5 rounds...

A process that will receive clarification in the next few months, due to the abuse of the system. It also requires a DM skilled enough to make adjustments on the fly. Tell that to players of Scalegloom Hall, or Keep on the Shadowfell. Or, to use a LFR example, Beneath Haunted Halls. None of...

4E can be used for many things. However, as evidenced both by published modules and the guidelines for LFR module creation, 4E is primarily a combat game. Heck, the LFR guidelines recommend a minimum of two combats in a four hour module - with the average being 3 to 4. Trust me, I like feats...

The problem is, there isn't much of an opportunity cost. Many feats in 4E are flavor feats - not a major factor in the character's effectiveness, but they add something cool, or some area of specialty. Weapon Expertise (or Implement Expertise for the casters) is a flat +1 bonus regardless of...

Well, my opinion has been posted on the WotC boards, but to repeat it here... As many others have pointed out, this is a must-have feat that harms the game as a whole. Here's the reasons: Bonus to hit is more powerful than other feats. It is always better than the "situational +1" feats...

One of the design philosophies of 4E was to make it harder for a person to make an ineffective character. Weapon Expertise and Implement Expertise run counter to this philosophy. Feats are optional choices, and you can't count on someone taking a particular feat, even a "must-have" feat...

Subject: Implement Expertise/Weapon Expertise Dear LFR players, Buy the PHB 2, or be marginalized. Sincerely, WotC P.S. We don't like well-rounded characters, so those with both weapons and implements will be down two feats instead of one.

The cleric, assuming they didn't completely tank Wisdom, is going to be a better healer than the Warlord. Righteous Brand, being completely based on the character's primary stat, is perhaps the best at-will in the game - damage plus a major buff to an ally. If you go with a balanced cleric...

The sheet automatically adds the level modifier (which is level/2, rounded down).

Just download FoxIt Reader, and you can save characters for free. Any chance for an update on this sheet? It could use to have more room for Feats and Abilities, which could be gained by reducing the size of the Description box (either less lines, or less space between the lines). That's...
