My guess is that there may be fewer base classes but they will be far more customizable. I can see a martial class but with feats, talents, skill trees you can make the marital character a fighter, or ranger or barbarian or rogue, etc. One report says that one class is gone from the core but...

I am not clear on this concept. Thirty levels can mean several different things. 1. It can mean 4e 30 levels ~ 3.5 20 levels + 10 epic. 2. It can be like AE in which characters can go to 25th level, except that 4E will go to 30th. 3. It can mean that the 4.0 30 levels ~ 3.5 20 levels...

No, you are not wrong. At D&D Experience in Feb 07, WOTC staff more or less said - 4E is coming but is still a ways off. - when asked if 4E was in development, the answer was 'no, 4E is not in active development and the normal development cycle for a product of this type is 1.5 to 2 years'...

If it is indeed an announcment for 4E, I've got to give it to the spin-doctors at WOTC for totally blindsiding me. WOTC has gone on record for saying any important announcement for D&D will occur at D&D Experience (aka Winter Fantasy). I believed them. WOTC, during the past D&D Experience...

Hand of Vecna. <Just kidding> Short of a high level spell to regenerate the arm, your choices are (from easiest / least expensive to hardest to procure / most expensive) A hook A stump cover with accessories (plug ins of different tools) A mechanical (non magical) arm, most likely...

Ah... the Grand Gloat of Doom. As far as those go, I've heard better....

I love listening to the conspiracy theories and speculations but it is nothing so dire. Most of the web articles are done by Ed Greenwood, Sean K Reynolds and Eric Boyd. The issue is that Ed is completely snowed under with other projects and hasn't had time to submit Realms articles...

No, your fine, based on what you have stated. For this section of the adventure, it is fine to dial it up a bit but maybe not for every encounter. If you want to portray the badlands as the dangerous place, you can do it with the frequency of encounters rather than the nature of the...

One person's 'broken' is another person's 'its fine'. There's the rub. With maybe exceptions like the Frenzied Berserker (which seems mostly ubiquious for being labeled 'broken'), you will not likely get a clear consensus on what is 'broken'. It is not the 'broken' stuff that is a danger to a...

DA3 The City of the Gods In the same vein as Temple of the Frog, the adventures features a incursion into the remains of a spaceship (The Beagle). Androids, robots, laser guns, and future tech galore.

Dragon and Dungeon have given me countless hours of enjoyment over the years and the magazines under Paizo just got better and better. They will be sorely missed. I look forward to Pathfinder and hope they will provide the same thrill that Dungeon provided every month. What can I say....you...

The best way to deal with this is to talk with the players. Address the problem player and ask what he trying to accomplish with his grandstanding and lack of cooperation. The answers he/she gives should give some insight as to the root issue. Maybe it is a character concept that is too...

Or maybe, WOTC has listened to the complaints of consumers about them offering their PDFs at the same price of print products and they finally have acted on reducing their cost of their PDF products to put the price differential more in line with, well.....everyone else on DriveThru. ;)

If the laptop is too much, then try a PocketPC with a large capacity memory card with PDFs stored on it. Mine even has a good dice program stored on it and PocketPC Excel for character sheets. Downside - it has a small screen and unless you bring a roll up keyboard (yep, there is such a...

The_Universe for the win in three rounds. :lol: Because...well, he is The_Universe and the universe is so big.... :lol:

Yes, social standing comes up often in my game. And yes, someone can create a character of royal blood in my campaign, with the caveat that the character's standing with the current liege is such that they can't leverage money or influence except in a very minor fashion. Kind of the 'yes, you...

I avoid it. I've been in campaigns where camp was the norm and they had their charms but for me, the most memorable campaigns have been ones in which camp was non-existant.

In a typical session, our group spends about 90-95% of the time roleplaying.

I've 'walked' on about three groups. In all three cases, I gave it a honest go and stuck it through for a few sessions in the hopes my initial impressions of the game and/or the people involved was wrong. No point quitting after one session in the off chance that everyone is having a 'bad' day...

I don't know who was more shocked by the outcome - the DM or myself. Background: The DM was a real stickler for playing characters as rolled and as indicated, the character stats was a real stinker and the only class (and race) I could qualify for was halfing thief. DM wouldn't let me re-roll...
