I'm with you. . .I've self-banned myself from the blatant edition-war trolling, like the "What's really at stake in the Edition Wars" thread and the "What does Videogamey mean to you?" one. Almost nothing ever really comes of them but a lock at the end, and that is only entertaining like a car...

Man, level dipping is so cheeesy. Your level dipping cheesy bacon men are. . .cheesy. Man, now I'm all hungry. Jay

This is prime territory for a 3PP. Put out a 12 page PDF barebones with some lists of common non-magical adventuing gear, price it low, and call it a day. You don't need an entire book about this stuff, and shoehorning it into AV3 or DMG3 is unnecessary. A Dragon magazine article would be...

Charcoal is about the best answer, but I still have a contribution. . . The ancient enemy of the dwarves live in or around trees, and the clear cutting is a scorched earth policy intended to drive them out. This doesn't have to be elves, it could be fairies or lemurs. Jay

Ohhh, Talenta Boomerang is also very feral shamany. A bone boomerang with shark teeth along the edge. It's one handed, too, so the other can be free to use an implement. Nice. Trantnyrs would be cool if there was a way to make them an implement. . .spears aren't an impement for an arcane...

I learned to DM with 3.5, so maybe my experience is atypical, but. . .I didn't really see much change, really. See, I am not usually OCD, but when it comes to being prepared for somthing like DMing, where I am kind of the center of attention, I am pretty serious about making sure everything...

Kind of odd you't try to move that aspect of the discussion to a new thread, since the OP's issues were: 1) prep time 2) minmaxing player And taking the first out of the picture leaves a solidly edition-neutral problem to discuss here. . .and the seeds are already solidly germinating for...

Are you talking about a shared setting where a bunch of gaming groups use one wiki, or where a gaming group might have more than one DM and they all contribute? Our group did the second and it worked really, really well in my opinion. Until the group fell apart due to real world issues...

Well, I'm not super concerned about that, and blowgun does have sweet, sweet goblin flavour. To answer any DM fears about goblins being a monster race, I was planning on pitching it as a Halfling skinned as a goblin. Possibly not an actual goblin even, just a small, feral. . .thing, that was...

lol, no joke, having posted on random sites for the last 15 years or so, enworld is surely a (relatively) shining star of civility and mature thought. Yeah, there are huge .gif sigs and childish avatars, but man, the quantity of that kind of crap on other sights is what always brings me back...

Dear ENworld fellows, My home computer is currently out of commission, meaning I have no access to the Character Builder. Often, when I have what I think is a great idea for a PC, I'll build it up and see what it looks like at 1st, 6th, 11th, etc levels. I like my current PC, but accidents...

Kobolds over Goblins. IMC my DM altered Shifty to a 1/encounter ability that I use, and that ability lasts until the end of my next turn. So basically, it is 1/enounter, but it lasts for two rounds. Even without that nerf, being an Assassin means shifting<teleporting, but if someone wanted...

Also this thread still on the front page has plenty on this subject. Jay

I like a couple sigs, the Galdalf quote about the afterlife is nice. Someone's has a pic with an old guy asking about bannannannananas in ears. Nifft's is good, because long sigs annoy me, even if the post itself is long. I'm not a huge fan of sigs that are just more volleys in an edition...

It feels like 2010 is going to be the year of stealth 4.5e. Tweaks to statblocks, new versions of rulebooks with updated info, a new boxed set. I think its a good thing. It also makes me less inclined to buy the crunch heavy books ( Power books, AV's) as the DDI has all the important parts...

In Dinotopia (from what I remember. . .it's been awhile) the dinosaurs are intelligent and have culture, writing, and technology. It would certainly be cool to play an intelligent dinosaur, but possibly game breaking in the same way that playing a dragon is. Adapting MM dinosaurs to your...

I play 4e, and I did not like this interview one bit. I didn't exactly dislike it. . . .but none of the answers were much of anything useful or interesting, and I get the feeling a lot of it will be misquoted here and elsewhere to fuel crap about crap. . . The only thing that I felt kept that...

Oooooooh yes, the Salve of Power is destroyed. I never saw one in a game I was in, and now I never have to. I was pretty annoyed by the amount of cheese wrung out of that one item on the charop boards. I am kind of interested to see how Expertise interacts with the other to-hit bonuses, but...

The general forum had a thread about the necessity of HP's that explored some of these same ideas. I agree with the general opinion that adding penalties to wounded characters has the danger of becoming a 'death spiral', where stacking penalties make it harder and harder to recover. Kind of...

The lesson learned here is even broader than Draco's assertion that dual wielding is broken. A lot of things don't calculate right on the CB. It is worth looking at your feats to see if they are added to your powers, and looking at class features (especially from PP's) to see how they should...
