    Is Scott Rouse a REAL Person???

    What can you expect? He came to them with thunder and lightning, you know -- and they had never seen anything like it -- and very terrible. He could be very terrible. You can't judge Mr. Rouse as you would an ordinary man. No, no, no! Now -- just to give you an idea -- I don't mind telling you...

    Collaborative Cave #2 - Updated map (see 1st post) - Now doing room assignment

    Perhaps having the remains of a catwalk going around the room would be a good idea. Require a balance check to stay on, but gives a safe place for the people who put it in to have stood. After all, they had to put the sphere there in the first place.

    And you thought hit points were unrealistic.

    So, yeah. Perfectly modeled by the HP system.

    One sentence island concepts

    A floating island, kept in the air by a powerful creature at the core, is currently experiencing a war between constructs from the mainland and the native inhabitants over an artifact hidden somewhere in the island.

    D&D 4E 1st level 4E characters are already Heroes

    There's a trick to playing a first level wizard. Sell your spellbook and buy a horde of guard dogs. Hide behind a tower shield and sic them on your enemies. It's not a very nice trick, but it is effective

    One sentence island concepts

    An island made entirely of glass, inhabited primarily by sea creatures. It's like a giant aquarium.

    Gaming with Gygax

    You have it all wrong. The paint Gary used just wasn't made to last. Those are the prototypes.

    101 bits of gnome fluff

    24. Elves hate dwarves, as does everyone else who loves elves. Dwarves hate elves, just like everyone else who loves dwarves. Gnomes are descended from half-elf half-dwarves, which explains why everybody else hates them.

    What class?

    I'm partial to the blue mage myself. I liked it so much I bought the company put it in my signature. PrC out if you want, just keep your spellcraft check up.

    One Level Scale to Rule Them All?

    We do have incredibly limited wish. It's called prestidigitation.

    Of fun and games; was "WoW is not an RPG"

    Dnd and GURPS are not role playing games because you are not actually doing anything but moving a little plastic (or sometimes metal) miniature tactically across a battlemat that does not, save in a very limited, scripted and controlled way, interact with the game world. Ultimately you have no...

    Spell research: which level should this spell be?

    Energy substitution normally doesn't change the spell's level. Being an exotic energy type is enough to bump up the spell a little, but it isn't as bad as if it were, say, city damage, dessicated water damage or bludgeoning damage. The analogy you put is a little bad, though. I would...

    Class being penalized for doing its thing?

    I suppose they're admitting that clerics are so much better at filling the fighter's niche than the fighter is, and in the new edition they'll make it so the class doesn't work best outside its normal party function.

    1,001 ways they could screw up 4th Edition D&D...

    18. 4e is not delivered by mail. Instead it is eaten up by robins, flown to its destination and regurgitated into the players' mouths.

    Is there a skill-based Sorcerer?

    I'm partial to the blue mage myself. Of course, it isn't anywhere near being a core class, but it has sorcerer-style casting and 4 skill points/level.

    Spell research: which level should this spell be?

    Personally, I think the fact it will be worse than useless against undead prevents it from being more than a +1 adjustment.

    I like the new approach on magic items

    There are rules around that. IIRC, there's a spell, item, and feat you can use to transfer XP. The feat is even a freebie - you get it after making five of the items. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20060526a
