    Power and Responsibility

    That's when the good guys "miraculously" find the good spirited and unusually capable bastard son of the ex-ruler living in a cattage next to the blacksmith and put him on the throne. or don't have the PCs manage the borig stuff, that's why kings have viziers, prime-ministers, seneschals and...

    Jonathan Tweet denounces Power Attack

    don't forget the joy of power attacking and thus cleaving thru hordes of mooks. sure -5 to hit +10 damage isn't such a bright idea against Lord Dark but it's a great idea versus his 101 faceless minions.

    Power and Responsibility

    since the PCs may indeed have folks with CHA 20, WIS 22 and INT 23 ...why wouldn't they be the folks able to introduce an age of enlightenment for a realm? I find it awfully boring having campaign after campaign where PCs are super-powerful vagabonds.

    30th-level PC versus kingdom--who wins?

    So the community killer PC has his wild romp...how does he surive the encounter with the party of characters that consider him a typical encounter that are bound to show up? PCs always seem to be able to find appropriately scaled adventures and foes, why not NPCs?

    Griping about Building

    It depends on the campaign really, all hack and slash with no negotitation/diplomacy at all and it isnt worth much.

    D&D 4E Do there need to be a "lot" of changes to be 4E?

    It is going to have to be very different for me to buy it. It took me years to end up with 3.5 PHB and DMG and I got them as gifts.

    About 90% of the camapigns I've played have neded up in deserts, jungles, forests, swamps,rivers, seas, undersea, in frozen places, on mountain sides. A page or two on each biggie envrionment woud be a boon to the game. Not that i mind most of my adventuring in dugeons but it's fun to get...

    Skiis, snow and the enviroment in general

    Depends on where and when those adventures are taking place. Where I live (half hour north of Boston) we can have snow 7 months a year. So adventures taking place here-ish really could use some guidelines beyond the freezing to death too easy rules.
