FOr us, players never were happy with the planar creatures in 4E....they didn't feel epic enough for what they liked. I agreed. What I did was, use part of our custom magic system for them. THe demons though, to represent the chaotic nature of the abyss (we use a customized cosmology....a mix...

awww my best wishes to those affected. very sad :( Sanjay

well we use story telling combat in that if people look close enough, i will let them move there... other times, when fine movement may be required, we use warhammer method....rulers and distance in inches. This way any direction can be done and any blasts, explosions, etc are converted to...

Well, Warhammer has had magical standards and battle standards a lot longer than WoW, D&D, or any other fantasy game I have seen.... Great...4E is getting GW-fied Sanjay

hey menzoberranzan is mentioned as the most powerful underdark city. the map is too large to scan/draw a quick scketch off but a large part of the country collapsed into the underdark making the ..forgot name, like sparkling sea or something..a underground sea (the water source was from the sea...

our solution we got rid of gridded movement a long time ago and instead use the warhammer ruler system. Since 5 ft is 1 inch for miniatures (28 to 32 mm), we just read everything as inches, and use tape measures, and foot sticks to measure movement in any direction we wish... Sanjay

hmm.. All I can say to this.. Whhhyyy sooo seriousssss!!! :) Sanjay

rolling We prefer rolling, and friends refuse to use point buy (which I don't like anyways) so it's all good. For some reason, find rolling more fun :) Sanjay

nope I don't tell them... Sanjay

:( Sadly, no psions in PHB 2 :(

wild mage we have a wild mage in the party I DM. We ended up not liking the 4E cleric or Wizard...(the cleric, didn'tliek how they do them in ANY edition though). So we created massive rewrites for the wizard, and partial rewrite for cleric. The wild mage we decided to capture the flavour...

i am very happy... my players are odd...they push on as one would in real life..without trying to rest every 30 min :) hehe it's quite fun to watch actually :) I must be lucky that my players are strange... Sanjay

huh there was a reference to FR - Al-Qadim? I saw the Sigil one, so we know it still exists in 4E... Sanjay

our half giant I agree that the design constraints of 4E are idiotic for some settings. My campaign, due to the characters my players have, needs massive house rules and for how they like to try different things..4E's constraints don't work for us...so I tossed em all. Guess what? It really...

Sorry... I think if you want to change it..go ahead. Sanjay

stat bonuses in 15 or so years of DM'ing I can honestly say stat bonuses mean pretty much nothing. Reason, I've had players (and had the luck myself) to roll 3+ 18s and have all other stats above 12. Other times had lower stats. If you have a dragonborn with slightly higher WIS instead of...

yes the only things I do not like in 4E are the relative sameness/boringness of all the classes and the feats. Hence 90% of the house rules we use, will be around some of the classes, and feats. Sanjay

yeah I find the monsters (especially the supposedly epic ones) quite pathetic. I have already told my players that expect creatures to be updated to how they SHOULD be....espec stuff like liches, dragons, demons, and demon lords.... They said bring it on :) hehe Sanjay

strange if your dragons are dying in 2 to 4 rounds...you guys must be using dragons just like a gelatinous cube or something. Stand there like an idiot and take hits.. even the lowest dragon encounters we've ever had have almost crushed the entire party via intelligent play/real tactics, etc...

i find this funny using enemies intelligently, most of our battles last quite long (4E standard or longer)..they are cinematic and exciting due to how I run them....and my players have said themselves, they never feel wizards are stealing the show since I always have stuff to do for everyone...
