    Need Book advice

    I would suggest Paizo's Pathfinder series. The current 'adventure path' is Rise of the Runelords. Each issue has a adventure and the rest of the issue has world/setting information being unveiled for their new campaign setting. Usually, the setting information in an issue relates to the...

    What 'other' races have you played

    I've played a kercpa (squirrel folk) druid, a pseudo dragon sorceror, a fairy dragon wizard and was the intelligent weapon for the party fighter. I swapped intelligences with a trapped intellligence in a dragon orb artifact and got to play as the artifact for the duration of the campaign that...

    How Would You Have Handled the Forgotten Realms?

    I would do something like what the Star Trek franchise has done. Old Grey box would be like Star Trek, the original series The current realms campaign setting would equal to Star Trek: The Next Generation. The 4e Realms would be equal to Star Trek: Deep Space 9 Like the FR setting itself...

    Age of Worms - Wormbane Paste?

    In general, it is 'worm-be-gone'. If you use the paste on yourself, you make yourself immune to Kyuss worms / slow worms for one hour. Full round action to apply. If you hit a spawn with a vial (or I imagine, if you have a spawn drink the stuff) that is equal to one cup of the paste, it...

    D&D 4E What sort of 3rd party 4e books do you want?

    I would buy into third party publisher books on Druids / Necromancers / Illusionists. If these classes will only see print in the yearly PHB that Wizards is claiming to do, then god only knows when we will see these classes. It is a golden opportunity for some publisher to make his mark...

    Starting small in the Realms...

    Given that the Spellplague actually makes geographical changes and was not a 'flash in the pan' disaster but one that endured for years and the resultant pressures on populations and economies, I would wager that it will be a previously undetailed town in some hot spot where civilization was...

    Elder Evils

    Yes, but I don't know to what extend. One of the Elder Evils has a Far Realms tie in, according to the Elder Evils interview on DnDInsider.

    D&D 4E Rich Baker on 4e Realms changes

    I don't thinking making widescale changes to the Realms and then trying to sell it to the Realm's critics will work. The dislike of the Realms verges on rabid and I have seen a number of posts on different forums from anti-Realms fans that have stated that they will never touch a Realms...

    Elder Evils

    I like the concept and will be getting the book. The notion of evils barely understandable and 'beyond the pale' (like the stories by HP Lovecraft for example) has always struck a chord with me. And the utility of taking one of the elder evil and building a entire campaign around it is great...

    So... is anyone else coming around?

    I've gone from cautious optimist to apathy so far. As I see it, the design goal seems to be to burn all the bridges. Not just wholesale changes to mechanics but wholesale changes to the fluff and tropes. The trouble with an 'all or nothing' approach is it is a huge gamble because one risks...

    D&D 4E New Information on 4E Classes from Races & Classes Book

    Strange that not much is mentioned about the Ranger, in particular when it was hinted that the ranger killed the scout and took his stuff.

    So, eladrin's can teleport around? ..nail...coffin...rogue already obsolete?

    I believe the ability has been revealed to be short ranged, line of effect necessary and usable X times per day. Also, I believe it has been hinted that this Eladrin ability may require pre-requisites and a feat/talent to take. Line of effect is the main show stopper. No bopping to the other...

    What should be done about "What should be done about <noun>" threads?

    I am amused by the threads. Like ENWorlders truly have a say about 'what should be done...'. WOTC is driving this particular bus. Enjoy the ride.

    Okay, I cannot resist . . .

    I think the humor may not be appreciated by all readers, given its overtones, so.... In before the lock. :cool:

    What I don't get RE: FR and High Level NPC's

    Oh ... Really? The clique old chestnut of the Baron or Mayor appoaches the party to help with some problem. Why? The Baron is higher level than the party. The Baron has retainers and commands the local militia. The baron has political influence with nearby towns or with the king. The Baron...

    D&D 4E 4e Spell Casting Questions

    That would imply that the traditional spell levels of 1 to 9 are gone and the legacy spells are going to be parceled out in a 1 to 30 progression. Or maybe a 1 to 20 progression with 21 to 30 being some new epic spell system (and hopefully, something better than the epic handbook spell seed...

    What I don't get RE: FR and High Level NPC's

    It is fairly simple. People of that high level have other concerns and interests. Archwizard 'A' is a recluse, focusing on his experiments, and doesn't care about issues unless they are a direct threat to him or his research. Archwizard 'A' isn't going to get involved. High Level Fighter 'B'...
