    The Problem of Magic

    I would. One of the biggest problems with the 3.x wizard (and cleric) is their ability to do everything.

    Do you like spell and effect durations?

    I'm mostly with the OP on this one. 1 hour/level is effectively 'all day' anyway. 10 min/level basically encourages running from one encounter to the next (until you're high enough level that it's a few hours, at which point it's effectively all day). 1 min/level is either 1 encounter at low...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Modest Proposal to Unify the Fanbase without D&D Next

    Well, reprints of 3.x-era stuff (where WotC has source files) are bit different than reprints of older TSR stuff (which may not even have been created digitally, and even if it was and WotC has the files, it probably was in an obsolete format). I'd argue putting any major effort into producing...

    Leif's "Revenge of the Giants" [4E] [OOC 01]

    'course not. I mean, Sariel spent a scarce paragon-tier feat to get the bonus she hands out absurdly high, and you'd hardly deprive her of that advantage :D It's not like that feat isn't gold in the char-op guide...

    [4e] drothgery's arcane game - Clash of Steel

    Althea notices a man who seems to be following them for a second, before he fades into the crowd again.

    It's not specified in the adventure, so flipping a coin... male

    Altaruk, on the Sea of Silt (Dark Sun 4E OOC)

    You don't insert a roll when making a post; you tag it on afterwards. After you make a post, there will be an 'add dice roll' option (it will be in the row under the post with 'edit','quote','multi-quote', and 'quick reply' -- though like 'edit' it only appears for your own posts).

    [4e] drothgery's arcane game - Clash of Steel

    Lady Daybringer asks one of her guard to escort Soril, Althaea, and Silas to the scene of the crime in the market district while Teclis, Tatterdemalion, and Vanri decide exactly how they want to track down the cat familiar's owner.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Modest Proposal to Unify the Fanbase without D&D Next

    Exactly. Last year, I was arguing that it was not too soon for 5e (since no WotC RPG has ever gone five years without a major revision or falling out of print, and as much as I might wish otherwise, clearly a lot of the D&D player base doesn't like 4e). I'm not happy with the direction 5e seems...

    D&D 4E If 5e Had Evolved from 4e...

    FWIW, I think 'bounded accuracy' is going to turn out to be very matematically fragile.

    [Adventure] Rhapsody Part 2 (Judge: renau1g)

    Narvala arranges to meet with the others again in, then returns to her rooms to rest. She wished she had access to the Church's networks like she would have in Flamekeep, but she had heard to many unfortunate rumors regarding some of the temples in Sharn. Not something she could lean on.

    D&D 4E If 5e Had Evolved from 4e...

    What I'd hoped for with 5e was something noticeably derived from 4e, but with a lot of flavor changes and a few mechanics cleanups. something like fix monster math so the 'math fix' feats are unnecessary (and never offer anything like them); probably tweaking PC and monster HPs and damage...

    Five-Minute Workday Article

    Unless you define a 15MWD to exclude 'crippling first encounter of the day' scenarios and 'sucessful planned nova-ing of the BBEG', I'm not sure how that's possible in non-4e D&D.

    Five-Minute Workday Article

    In the first combat encounter of the 3.5 game I was playing last week, my cleric took 7 points of CON damage from a trap (having rolled a 1 on my Fort save). He's the only front-line melee character in the group, so I didn't think it was safe to continue exploring the dungeon when his max HP had...

    [4e][OOC] Clash of Steel [13th level]

    Probably worth noting is that this isn't a standard skill challenge as much as 'a bunch of skill-related things connected to investigating'. It's possible using class/race/theme abilities, powers, or rituals will lead to information as well (frex, using Tatterde's ability to speak with animals...

    Yet another take on AC

    For the most part, Reflex defense = touch AC in 4e.
