I like that we can talk about the OP now. Very nice :) While Hasbro might just be suing to protect their IP, which is smart, I'd hope that at least some people over there are trying to get the licence away and to someone eager to actually develop good games for D&D. Not just a...

I played it with my 5 year old daughter. To try to make it as simple as possible, I brought a Dragonborn Dragon Sorcerer. She turned down every name I suggested until I blurted 'Skeletor', so he and Slug (she never got his name right, I stopped trying) went camping together. As an intro to...

I'm at work, so I can't build one up, but I have in reserve a Genasi Fighter\Wizard (eventual paragon MC). Stats-wise I ended up with two 18's, STR and INT, and an Wis tertiary. Wis for the tiny Will defense benefit, and because my at will is thunderwave. For a weapon I went with just a...

I wouldn't call the bow using bard an outlier. . .it is a supported build. When it was released in PHB2 it was supported. There are powers for it. Implements for it. Feats for it. And *one* paragon path for it. This is one of those situations where I see the need for more options for...

The bottom line is the amount of *fun* you all are having. If the DM's think that combat is broken (an opinion with some merit) and are altering the magic item pace to fix it, that is something. If, however, they think combat is broken, and are handing out less items to be an 'old school' or...

Nice! The visual I just had was Stormtroopers vs Bounty Hunters. At some point, the Empire had enough of Han Solo's . . .antics, and they had to hire out for some specialized muscle. And it worked. The run of the mill town guard can be mowed down like stormtroopers, but once someone with...

I just peed a little. Khopeshes are already cool (to me at least) but I hadn't thought of this use. Dwarven Swordmage with a Khopesh would be cool, and probably pretty unique. Jay

If you are running this, you can build some of what you want into the monsters. Give them something like 'native swimmer' that gives them a swim speed and makes them concealed to anyone past x squares. If you think melee characters should have a penalty, then give them defenses that...

. . .and you are minus one shroud, and down any damage done from the attack. Using a shortsword on an encounter power, you just went from 6d6+bonuses to 3d6. Looks like half to me. Jay

There are some pretty cool things in that article. I like the ritual to make your familiar a Mount. The last familiar I had was a Book Imp that used illusion magic to look like me. So I would be a Gnome, riding around on the shoulders of a Large version of myself. Pretty awesome. Add to...

We had that issue in Shadowrun, just a little. I can see how many groups might run into it, and it is because there is no siloing in Shadowrun. I guess you do get a handful of free knowledge skills, but all your other skills, and your gear, comes from the same pool of points. Jay

You mean this comment wasn't you trolling? It has *nothing to do* with the subject. The OP mentioned 4e as his starting point for this thread. Much of the discussion has trended this way. Being passive-agressive about it does nothing when your sig outs you as a hater, and your posts out you...

Oh man, this reminds me of the Beholders in Baldur's Gate. I never got past them. I must have died and reloaded a hundred times. I ran a beholder in a 4e one shot as part of an aberrant invasion. It was defeated by an illusory wall. It never made it through, and was trapped in a halway and...

Not to pile on (it honestly feels a little mean at this point) but you seem to be picking on some of the already weak classes. Bards and Warlocks are not really at the top of anyone's list in their respective roles. Warlocks do the least damage of any striker. . .about all they have going for...

. . .and said Sorcerer could be a crit-fishing Daggermaster, but since it increases the damage by 1[w], I'm not sure how that would interact. It looks good for other crit-fishers though, like an Avenger or something. Increasing your crits by a d12 cumulatively sounds good. Jay

At low levels you probably won't notice this much until you crit (roll crit die. . .oh. . .wait, nevermind). The more you play, the more you miss out on the cool stuff items can do. I find I notice my Grasping Longsword's ability more than the +1 to hit and damage that it does over my last...

I'm not trying to convince you of anything Derren, you have made your mind up already, and the rest of us are just retarded sheep. The latest D&D game that I can think of is that one for the PSP. I don't see anyone mentioning it here. People bring up Baldur's Gate, and Icewind Dale, and...

The problem is one of scale, or perspective. The primordials may appear evil, because they are willing to destroy in order to create. Is this any more evil than someone plowing over an anthill to build a house? To the ancient, immortal primordials, most living beings are probably similar to...

There are *a lot* of turn based RPG-type games for the DS. If somone managed to put out a quality one with the D&D name on it, the good reviews and the D&D name should be enough to make it a good seller. I don't see turn based games like that coming back to the PC anytime soon. . .maybe if you...

For the wizard knowing spells problem that weem brought up, you could flavor it just like the figher. Whereas the fighter has not developed his muscle memory, or learned his katas yet, the wizard has not developed his mental strength or his memory yet. In fact, let him try it. And when he...
