    What defines the "edition war" and why are participants / moderators opposed to them?

    Every group has a small number of agitators. A forum group like this is bound to have trolls and white knights and all sorts who thrive on drama. The problem arises when a great discussion gets co-opted by such folks and they use it to entertain themselves. I think a vast majority of...

    Ki Focus Question

    I did give you the reason this doesn't work, you either didn't see it, or you don't get it. Different classes use magic items in different ways. Casters use implements. Meleers *can* use weapons. Some items blur the line. Some transcend it. The Ki Focus supersedes the magic of any item...

    What do you like about 4E? (not a battle in the Edition Wars :^) )

    I like having fun. My current gaming group plays it, and I have fun. It is really not more complicated than that! Jay

    Battlemind article out

    Minions die to autodamage, they just don't die on missed attacks. I finally had a chance to look at it a bit ago, and My thought was that several of the powers looked like winners if you had some Rogue in you. Or if you were a Rogue with a little Battlemind in you. I'm very curious about how...

    Ki Focus Question

    You can use a weapon *with* a ki focus. . .I was not aware you could use a weapon as a key focus. . . And the reason a player can't use the powers, properties, etc of a weapon while using it through his focus is the same reason he can't wear a suit of leather armor under his plate armor. You...

    Martial Power 2 feats

    The feat that allows you to make RBA's with heavy thrown weapons using Dex means that thrown weapon Ranger build just became more viable. Thanks guys! Jay

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    A far more productive move, if indeed they felt their brand was in danger of being diluted, would be a *rebranding* of their software. Avatar: An Army Builder That way you retain your base built using the 'Army Builder' name, and piggyback on the Avatar popularity. It's a win win! Jay...

    Jumping Onto Larger Enemies

    Alternatively, make it a quick time event! Shout out easy math problems, and if the player can answer them in less than a second or two he succeeds at that action! 2+2! You roll under his legs 4+11! You leap on his back, stabbing your daggers into his flesh 3x6! You climb up to his face...

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    I had developed a unique garment that one wore on one's head. I tried calling it "headwear", but . . .everyone kept using my trademarked term inappropriately! One thing I have not noticed yet in the comments is the strange practice of going after forum posts. AFAIK, the owner of a message...

    Any Dark Sun info from DDXP yet?

    That's silly, last Dragon there was an article on the Traveller, an Eberron diety. I'm sure if we all looked, instead of peering into the cobwebs of our dusty memories, we would find more. I only remember that article because I was interested in it as a player. Jay

    Great DM, crappy friend vs. good friend, crappy DM

    Aw, I was joking! He mentioned in the OP that it was 4e. I thought you knew that... Jay

    Hybrid Rules and DDI subscription

    Not bad. Since the most powerful abilities (Sneak attack, marking) are given away, it wouldn't necissarily be that broken. I wonder how it would work in practice. Great idea! Jay

    scoop: 4e gamma world

    I'm glad you know me so well! I know as much as anyone else here about this stupid board game, which is next to nothing. What I *hate*, is your negativity, and your seemingly insatiable need to knock down what other people build. You hate on topics up and down the General Forum, and this is...

    scoop: 4e gamma world

    Nobody is shoving their hand in your pocket and taking your money. The game comes with a deck of cards. If that is as much as you want to spend on the game, *it will work just fine as is*. Read the transcript, it is plain as day. For those that are completists or rabid fans, they are selling...

    Hybrid Rules and DDI subscription

    Right. . .but in this case, of a Genasi FighterWizard, Multiclass is much better. If a Genasi Fighter Paragon Multiclasses as a Wizard, he will have half of his attacks as wizard powers that *mark* as a fighter. A max level character like this can mark everyone he sees with Legion's Hold...

    Jumping Onto Larger Enemies

    Like, how much larger? Grabbing onto a bull to stop it charging. . .problematic, but a Hurcules could do it. Putting your shoulder into a Fire Giant and tossing him down. . .impossible without magic, I'd say. Pinning Galacticus to the ground and giving him a wet willy? Epic and you only...

    scoop: 4e gamma world

    Or, you could wait until you know the details before flying off the handle about it. LiveBlogging: Dungeons & Dragons Experience 2010 (DDXP) : Geek's Dream Girl It's still early yet, but it looks to me like the deck buying is entirely optional. Jay
