Philosophy of science nit-pick: You cannot prove inductively, you can only disprove. Falsifiability, logical/post positivism and all that. Burden of proof: provide observations that force one to reject one's null hypothesis/world view. Anyway here are my thoughts: If you dislike 4e but like...

Do you have any specific examples of this behavior you are complaining about? There aren't a lot of posters on the 4e board that don't like/prefer 4e (go figure) and I haven't seen anyone lob that sort of dismissal at the few in that category(e.g. Derelicho). If this is something you see on the...

I just wanted to drop by and say that this is the way to have a discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of 4e: polite, civil comments backed-up with specific examples. :D

Everyone on the A-team had a different specialty and skill set. Why not make the group of 4 out of a cleric, an avenger, a paladin, and an invoker? Make the cleric a sun warpriest or a strength cleric so that he can get into melee and bash heads. The avenger is already going to do that. You can...

Here is a suggestion: use the ritual, "follow the voice.," and modify it to suit your needs: If one of your players has an item that was given to her by the NPC relative in question, it could be attuned to that person and can serve as the sending stone for the ritual. The player might not be...

The new cleric article earlier this month gave clerics the ability to switch out healing lore for "battle cleric's lore," which gives: scale proficiency a +2 shield bonus to AC (but not reflex) +2 bonus to attack rolls until end of next turn to the target of your healing words This is probably...

Have you checked out the "martial practices," found in Martial Power 2? They cover mundane item creation, forgery, embalming and some other non-magical activities as "rituals."

Ok, Saphlyx + his contact + Swny Nerdgasm + me makes four players in Jersey City. If we can find another 1-2 people and someone is willing to be the GM, we got ourselves a game. Any other takers?

I sent you an email at the address provided. And to anyone else, I am still looking for players/groups.

Hi all, I'll be moving to Jersey City in early August to take a job in Manhattan. I'm looking to continue gaming on the weekends and am hoping to find a good group to play with regularly. I am 31 and just finished my PhD in sociology. I like to think I have good social skills and a good sense...

I love monks but partly because they always seem to be the clunky underdogs that present an optimization challenge. They are certainly not in the sorry shape they were in in 3e but the unarmed strike, ki focus, and full discipline mechanics have some clear mechanical holes and have left a lot of...

I agree it could be "gamey." Of course, I've played in enough groups where the DM routinely uses nighttime ambushes because he knows the players won't have access to their armor bonus that I've become a bit paranoid about it. "Gamey" DMs breed "gamey" players.:) On the other hand, if a small...

The shugenja was one of the builds mentioned in the blurb for the Elemental Heroes (title?) book to be released this fall. So it looks like we will see some of the Asian-influenced classes that were to be part of the ki power source. It would be kind of cool if some of them used the...

There is no rule for this in 4e. I think this fits into the same design philosophy that took away the penalty for firing into melee without first taking a feat. Those sorts of feats (and feats/features that, for example, let you sleep in armor without penalty) were viewed as "taxes," that should...

Homebrew, but we draw plenty of inspiration from the Nentir Vale/points of light setting and feats/paragon paths specific to core setting gods/locales are reassigned to their closest analogue.

Certainly, but for those who have clamored for more epic tier support, the typo looks almost like a Freudian slip.

So the Warlord's power "Knight's Move," does not provoke? I was under the impression that any "move" action provokes.

I agree that the "nerfs" really didn't change much so in that sense I disagree with all the hemming and hawing about oblivion. On the other hand, the cleric was already a lot more limited in what it can do (buffing, granting attacks, positioning) than other leaders so the errata are puzzling...

1. The warlord can do more damage at-will by granting an ally a basic attack than the cleric can do with any of the encounter powers that were nerfed. 2. The warlord and shaman and bard, "heal" better than the cleric by making sure the enemies are dead faster. This results in less damage done...

Maybe he can tie the mirror to his familiar. :cool:
