lol. Do you have trees in your yard? I have to go out every couple of days and clear the many many dead branches out of my front and back yards. If elves live in forests, they would have more than enough wood for arrows and bows. Besides... it's not like they are shooting arrows all the time...

All kinds of W00T!!!

I don't know... black (vaguely bug-like) eyes, green skin and wild dark green hair. That doesn't feel like a halfling at all. Much more fey and far more alien feeling than a halfing ever was. Halflings basically feel like small cozy people. This gnome comes off very alien. Me likey!!! :D

Yes, but there are going to be lots of auras now. It's going to be a chore to remember 10 or 15 different aura powers all going on at once. Especially if the group gets seperated (as seems to happen to my players all the time) then we either have to parse out the aura bonuses, ignore them, or...

I like auras, but I agree that aura that grant a "+ bonus" are very annoying to keep track of and will usually be forgotten. I'm all for auras if they give an special ability or power or whatnot, but auras that give numbers should die a slow and painful death. Side Note: I've very happy with...

While I agree that they probably won't cast Ian Holm, his age isn't really an issue. Ian McKellen had a very actice part as Gandalf (lots of running, frequent fights) and they used doubles and CGI to pull all of that off nicely. Even Christopher Lee did one killer fight scene with yoda in Star...

The Rouse is one uber NPC that the game could do without. How are my players supposed to be the heroes when "The Rouse" is always flying down in his cape and tighty whities to defeat the BBEG?

I'm interested to see if he opens up the first movie with Smaug blasting all the dwarves from their home in the Lonely Mountain.

MGM CEO Harry Sloan talks 'Hobbit' http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2007/12/mgm-ceo-on-the.html

I could be wrong. This old interview with PJ on Aint It Cool News indicates otherwise. You'll have to skip down to the Hobbit bits of the interview, but PJ liked the idea of fleshing out and splitting The Hobbit to give it more of an adult feel like LotR http://www.aintitcool.com/node/30085

I remember reading a blurb months ago (back before PJ released his "they don't want me anymore" letter about Newline). The blurb basically indicated that the 2nd movie would be about what you just described above. But in truth, I bet even PJ doesn't quite know yet what they will do with the 2...

WOOT! I doubt he will write, because he will be busy still with "Lovely Bones" and "Tintin" during the time when the films will be written. And they won't be breaking the one book into two. They will do the Hobbit, then they will cover the gap in time between Hobbit and LotR

Those pics were broken for me too...

I lol'd at this. WoW and Diablo II were made by the same people. :heh:

More likely the change was made for balance reasons concerning Pick Up games played over DDI. Things become dubious when unknown players enter your game with all 18s. Having point-buy as default makes it easier to check a little box that only allows point-buy characters into your games online.

Considering what we heard a few months ago (that Spectral Steed & Fireball won't be competing for space) and what we have just recently heard about rituals, I would assume that she was only able to pick from "attack powers". Non combat spells are probably aquired in game based on what the DM...

She made it obvious that everyone else took only 20 minutes. She likes to stew over everything, and said under 3e it took her days to make a character.

Interesting. So Halflings will still be small, and all those "size medium, size small" rules will need to be in the PHB because of just that one race. I'm hoping that the size distinction requires less game time mucking out the details in this edition. :D

Most of the responses I've seen in defense of DDI have stated that the costs must be covered. I understand that position. The main flaw in this reasoning is how WotC will cover these costs. If the game table is a highly attractive package that draws in new players, then they will cover the...

Not saying that it is an MMO. In fact, I pointed out a few times that it is trying to not compare itself with MMO's. However, by having a monthly subscription, WotC is putting itself in direct competition with MMO's. So the value must be compared against what an MMO offers. And many games offer...
