    D&D 4E The problem I've having with 4e.

    Well, that I cant tell you until the books are out and I see what they say. If I don't like their explanation I will spend a little time alone coming up with my own then. Until then I don't worry about it. It could very well be however, that the form of a ring, an unending circle, is the...

    D&D 4E The problem I've having with 4e.

    What happened was that you drew upon a reserve of adrenaline, power, ki, energy, whatever word you would like to use to describe it, to refresh yourself somewhat and to keep on going a little further until more rest can be sought to completely revive yourself. As for the healing surge to bring...

    D&D 4E The problem I've having with 4e.

    Not sure why, but to me, the ring thing in your example should be self-evident and a really intriguing thing to put into play. You gained this ring at lets say lvl 8, your wizardly friend did a little study of it and declared that it is magical but could not figure out any properties of the...

    D&D 4E The problem I've having with 4e.

    And, by that same token, I never felt like my gamestyle was wanted in 3e. Its all a circular argument Derren, it always has been. Some of us are finally getting something closer to the game we wanted. Sorry you're on the losing end this time. I have waited a long time for it.

    D&D 4E The problem I've having with 4e.

    I agree those are the questions he wants answered. My issue is that I don't see why his character is thinking in terms of healing surges? Does his character know what hit points are and why some things have more than others? Does he always refer to himself by his class title? Does he and the...

    D&D 4E The problem I've having with 4e.

    I think your confusing something. We like action, but not hack-n-slash. We like roleplaying and storybuilding, but not LARPing. Most of the PC RP interaction within the group is situational and revolves around the story, weaving in details and PC story points as needed and as they make sense...

    D&D 4E The problem I've having with 4e.

    Actually, yes it was directed primarily at you because of what you said in the OP. You have a problem IC (in character) answering questions about healing surges, etc. And I have a problem with those questions being asked in character. It seems a bit metagamish to me and I am trying to...

    Kobold Dragon Shield

    have I ever told you you're my hero? While we are on the topic of things I must have missed... What is the effects of invisibility in 4e so far? I ask because someone is going to throw eyebite tonight and I want to make sure I am ready for it.

    Kobold Dragon Shield

    Was just reviewing some of the monsters again for a 4e playtest my group will be doing tonight during our regular session. I decided to switch out a planned skirmisher for a Dragon Shield. I got to looking at the Dragon Shield in depth and noticed that it had the ability to mark an enemy on a...

    D&D 4E The problem I've having with 4e.

    Thanks for being condescending... I don't find that any more believable. I do however find it highly annoying and always have. I will sacrifice believability for less annoying any day of the week. I don't want to play a game that revolves around the group sitting in a cave healing its...

    D&D 4E The problem I've having with 4e.

    Why is 3e any better than 4e in this regard? You just make blanket statement after blanket statement without backing them up. What makes 3e, or any other previous edition better in the HP quandary? I, for one, don't find 3e believable at all either. So 4e is no big stretch. I dont think 4e...

    D&D 4E The problem I've having with 4e.

    I'm going to take a different tack in answering your questions. You claim that you have a hard time thinking about these things In Character. Why is your character wondering why he has healing surges and others (I presume monsters) don't? Shouldn't your character be thankful for whatever...

    Worlds and Monsters & homebrewing

    I have to agree with what others have said. I found R&C to be very informative, but it didn't inspire me as a DM the way W&M did. W&M sparked my imagination a little more than I was expecting.

    D&D 4E 4E balance: Does it extend to PvP?

    I really sincerely doubt that the classes are balanced vis-a-vis each other. As far as I can tell they never have been, nor were ever intended to be.

    Draconomicon: surprises ahead! (scoop + speculation)

    I actually think it is highly likely to change since all 3 core books have gone thru cover changes since they were first revealed.

    Behold the Mighty Frost Giant!

    It looks good. I would however question whether Giant Cleave should be a small m attack, and therefore eligible for opportunity attacks, or a big M attack. But I like what you've done here so far.
