I can't help but agree with you. When I see historically lethal things like the medusa gaze not turning people to stone then it seems something has gone wrong. Or maybe just as bad is Fire Elementals not being immune to fire. How on earth do they survive on the plane of fire? It's like...

I guess I have to add Fire Elementals to the list. From reading another thread it appears their no longer immune to fire. I never would have thought someone would take that simple logical thing away from them. I hope I read that thread wrong. Maybe this helps explain that after 3 1/2 years...

god, I have to dig those awful 4th books out again to see if this is true or not. How could they do something so horrible to the gaming community to let a creature made of flame take damage from a fireball? the horror, foolish_mortals

did you really read 2 versions of the supposed play test? Please tell me you didn't. foolish_mortals

I'm not going to post back to you again about this since you keep on complaining about it. If I don't like 4th edition or Gamma World than I'm going to say it. That's the final word for me, period. Your not going to change my mind by whining about me being mean to WOTC. Forgot it. I have...

I agree completely. We need to feel cool walking down the street with a dnd book under our arm. real cool. foolish_mortals

I don't know man. If they get the rules simple enough they can put it all in one book monsters and all. Were presuming its going to take volumes and volumes of material to cover everything. I was musing the One Ring RPG as a possible model where you start with simple stuff and future releases...

this isn't a bashing thread, for goodness sake. I consider Pathfinder dnd so where's the bashing on dnd here? It's an honest question if people think a surge is coming for Pathfinder. I'm thinking so for these reasons: 1. People may interpret the 5th edition announcement as a sign that 4th...

I don't know if I would or not. I just got 3 Deathwatch books to review and the core was full of typos. "The Mark of The Xenos" didn't seem to have any. The Achilus Assault has some. The worst offender, the core book, had the most of them and it's like a 60 dollar book! I'm not paying 70...

I'm not sure how this is going to work out, if people are going to stop buying 4th edition and buy Pathfinder books until 5th comes out or not. I just took a peak at Amazon's top 100(and yes it can change rather quickly) and the top 20 had 10 Pathfinder products to 4th's 6 in there. I don't...

are they even printing up the 4th edition books anymore? What are you going to do when yours start to fall apart? foolish_mortals

I always liked it when our DM threw the books aside and said screw it. For this encounter were using 8 sided dice instead of 20. Those were the times, kept us on our feet. One time we wore Gary Gygax t-shirts for a session. That wasn't part of the rules either. Sometimes I've thought it...

guys, just curious how many of you are going to start from level 1 in the game when they get it or are you going to start at a higher level? If I get the game and have a group I'd probably start at level 3 to 5. I always liked those levels bestest. foolish_mortals

it might be the answer for people that have casters that do run out of spells. As you say for those that are never out of spells it still might be nice to have a quick recharge. I don't know why I never saw something like this in an earlier edition. The old solution was scroll after scroll...

the whole half-orc thing was gross. What was Gary thinking putting that in there. yucko. foolish_mortals

guys, I hear all the time that the Vancian system is bad because people run out of spells halfway through the module and need to have a good sleep to get them back. Maybe we can fix that by not getting rid of the system buy by offering a way for people to recharge their spells that they've...

the whole is just a relic of developing the game out of minatures wargamming. Take Pendragon, it was developed out of the story of King Artur. We're stuck bolting a setting onto a generic game system. That's allright as long as the generic game is fun and worth playing. Greyhawk was okay, it...

theres the spectrum of unlimited spell casting and some system where spell exhaustion happens. Of course no spells are after the exhaustion occurs. For dnd I favor vancian spells. Only being able to cast X amount of spells a day was woven into the game from the start that I'm aware of. Look...

I don't think size has anything to do with crud dudish or plain weird behavior. The more people there are working for a company the more likely odd stuff is going to occur. foolish_mortals

I've never heard of this term before. Thanks. foolish_mortals
