    D&D 4E 4E in 2008? Fact or Fiction?

    I wouldn't be surprised at 2008 being the next time for an edition. We have the books on the classes, specialized monster books, books on different environments, books on the deities, campaign settings, campaign setting regions, multiple monster manuals, and many more published by WotC...

    So, what makes 1e adventures so great?

    Do you remember when Nintendo first came out (or Atari), and the feeling you got playing Mario, Punch Out, Final Fantasy, or Zelda for the first times? Now they don't seem so extraordinary, the concepts are small, the gameplay simplistic, but at the time it was the best thing ever. I still...

    What do you dislike about 1E?

    The thing I most dislike about 1E is that is was before my time unfortunately... therefore I can't take part in such wonderful threads about remembering the good ole days before there was dirt when 1E ruled the RPG land. ;( Fortunately I was lucky enough to experience the 1E modules, and they...

    The most powerful class?

    My group and I are having a discussion over which class is the most powerful, and I was wondering if anyone has a good link to a discussion on the topic. It's pretty obvious that the class is a spellcaster, but nonetheless, we'd like to see other people's opinions. Any help would be greatly...

    Fighters vs mages at high level.

    I didn't read this whole thread, but if I were making a Wizard killing type I would focus on something like Stunning Fist. Or pephaps the Three Mountains or Anvil of Thunder feats from CW. Cause the wizard to make a Fort save or lose his turn. Maybe a spiked chain, mage slayer, and a helm of...

    Player's build is to strong?

    Not necessarily. It doesn't state anywhere in the D.O. prereqs that you must have a deity, much like a cleric doesn't need to have a deity to learn his spells. The D.O. could get his abilities from another source much like a cleric. Then the character idea could be that he not only gains...

    What's your single favorite D&D creature?

    Goblins. In my campaigns goblins reproduce like rabbits. You never run across one, it's always a scene like in the Mines of Moria in LotR. I always like a dungeon full of crafty devious goblins, led by their levelled leader.

    Your favorite class and race and other things.

    1. Human Paladins, I like playing the good vrs. evil heroic type. After that Any Fighter with tactical types of feats. 2. Dwarven Fighter 3. Bastard sword and shield or bastard sword two-handed.

    How well do you have to know a game to run it?

    That depends on whether or not there are rules lawyers that have knowledge of the game in the group, or knowledgable people at all. When 3.0 came out I read the players handbook over night and ran my first game the next day. I had a decent idea of what I was doing, better than the players at...

    Power Attack too useful? When is it NOT taken?

    Some feats are just better than others. You're going to have that, it's nearly impossible to balance all the feats. Power attack is the "gate" feat to the Str based feat tree, so it was designed that it would be needed by any Str based fighter. The same could be said of Dodge for mobility...

    What do you think of poison in d20

    So increase the DC of your poisons. It's not like higher DC poisons don't exist, they're just rare and not listed in the DMG. A perfect example would be Colossal Monstrous Spider Poison- which has a DC 28 and 2d8 Str damage. Use the poison from a pit fiend if you need to, though I would...

    Help my party take out a Pit Fiend

    In lower levels yes. At higher levels the CR system starts to suck. Remember that when multiple PCs focus on one creature they're going to do a whole lot of hurt in no time, and the pit fiend will only get one action a round while the PCs as a whole will get many. A creature with a CR 5 or 6...

    First Character Deaths

    The DM had a thing for Krynn minotaurs, and I was smart enough to call a big minotaur warrior an ugly son of a cow or some such. I learned a quick and hard lesson in respecting the DM's pet NPCs.

    Help my party take out a Pit Fiend

    I don't really see the problem. I think when facing just one monster the CR needs to be 5 or 6 higher, especially at higher levels. It should be an epic battle though.

    Where have all the true geeks gone? :)

    My friends and I fit this sport liking steriotype exactly. We're all in our early 20's and very active in sports, social life, and the "popular crowd". We got out start in our mid-twenties with adventures like "The Keep on the Borderlands", "The Temple of Elemental Evil", "White Plume...

    Help me lose weight

    Probably, I read an article once that said Americans in general would lose an average 15 pounds a year if they cut pop out of their diet. (I'm an Iowan, it's pop, not soda.;))

    Funny things you have said

    This was something one of my players said. He had just murdered someone (accidently through a critical), and ran to the nearest temple with his dead foe on his shoudler. He drops his foe and starts yelling for the cleric. When the LG cleric comes out and asks "What happened" the CN rogue...

    Help me lose weight

    Your body requires so many calories per day to function. As I stated much earlier in the thread each pound of muscle mass burns roughly 50 calories. When you cut calories out of your diet your body has to use its energy reserves, or fat, to meet that daily recommended calorie intake. So it...

    Help me lose weight

    Sorry I misunderstood, when I hear fast I think of someone not eating. What's your average daily intake like? The average male eats something like 2700 calories a day, if they cut down to your number and walked briskly 4-5 miles a day they may very well lose 10 pounds in a week as well. What...
