The Stairway to Heaven is my absolute favorite: - From the exterior it is *big*. Skyscraper big. Impossible to build big. - The interior is bigger. Infinite in dimension. Literally infinite, not looping or anything. It literally goes on forever. As you rise you can glimpse in the...

The only problem I have is that Dr House is neither Lawful Good or Charismatic! Your defenses are a problem, I'd drop strength for intelligence. The feats mentioned above are certainly powerful and a good idea. As a Half Elf you can use Action Surge, that's another good one. Maybe a MC...

I think 'white knighting' might be a little strong. . .to me it felt like you were coming to the rules lawyers to try and get your DM in trouble. To be honest, neither of you are really that wrong in your opinions. He made a mistake and copped to it, you wanted to know what the rule is and you...

Prolly more appropriate for 4e House Rules... If I were to try Vancian magic in 4e, classes that used it would get 1 Daily. . .total. Every time they leveled they could chose a new one to replace that one. In compensation, they would get more Encounter Powers, and memorize them as in Vancian...

There is a certain amount of player entitlement to deal with here. I think DM's should feel no pressure to stick to the stats on the page. While the debate rages here and on General about Fudging die, a valid point can also be made for fudging *anything*. DM's shouldn't have to explain...

Bwhat??! Wow, we have always played this wrong. Just last session we played this wrong. Good to know. This is why I love these boards. I'm always finding stuff out that I never knew, or thought I'd want to know. Jay

Preach on brother, I'm with you 100%! Jay

A value judgement such as this one is how *not* to get your point across. Thanks for illustrating! Admin here. And folks, this post is an excellent illustration of how not to discuss something. It's full of insults and cheap shots. When you're discussing a contentious subject, please find a...

You may wanna check out the recent thread about die fudging. . . Jay

Not to be rude, but. . . Man where have you been! This feat when it came out was not restricted to Shadar-Kai. It appeared in a racial article, but the wording of the feat left it open to all races. It was pretty much a must have for a lot of builds, and the mainstay of a Fyecharger build...

To be clear, it doesn't appear as though he is advocating this as a system he would actually *use*, just one that fits the bill of a 4e Wound system. I don't see the necessity to penalize dying characters any further. In addition to HP damage, they are also being hit by 4e monsters, which...

Totally off topic: I love, love, love the Ring of Free Time. Cool item. Cool power. I want one. Jay

Exactly, charop has each power detailed, often multiple times by multiple users. I remember a thread floating around here awhile back where someone was trying something similar, but nowhere near as comprehensive as charops. Also, most of the charop threads are *agressively* minmaxed. They...

Wait, you were in SCA? I never would have guessed! And in the *movie*, spartans used javelins and swords, both. And a big shield. That is a lot of minor action switching. Jay

And that -1 is only for other fighters, the generic +1 to hit fighters get means that dwarven fighter with a +2 prof halberd is about as likely to hit as the dwarf. . .anything else (aside from rogue) with a +3 weapon. Accuracy is not a huge problem for this guy. Jay

Here I am breaking my vow to not post here again, but I had an *epiphany*. . .you can break vows for those, right? For me it is the pervasive negativity itself that is distasteful (and this is hardly unique to enworld, or even gaming). Soooooo many of the theads I avoid are in no real danger...

We currently have two or three methods: 1 - Battlemat: Just like you've seen like, everywhere. Wet erase markers. Useful. 2 - Whiteboard: 2'x3' (ish) whiteboard with dots in a grid, 1" apart. Also useful. 3 - Gridded paper: Our DM often uses this paper to 'predraw' encounters. The last...

Are you high? Worst idea evar. That is edition warring, what you seem to want is rational discourse, and that is certainly going on. Do not confuse the two. Advocating edition warring is advocating bad blood and arguments for the sake of arguments. And this meta-edition warring is...

I know, this thread makes me want to update mine, too. At least provide a description for that lonely little link. Maybe a joke. A funny animated gif. Perhaps a joke contained within the gif, and I'll make the text of the link twice as big? Jay

I haven't been a member since 2003 like you have, but I am starting to do the same thing. I used to make sure all the threads at least on the first page of General had been read, because I like to see what folks are thinking. And work is boring. Now it is close to half. Work is still...
