Ah, I've been waiting for a thread just like this. I found a combination I thought was a tad over powered... With enough time (and splat books) I believe it will be possible to do one million damage in a single round. DISCLAIMER 1 - There are flaws with this plan, and I have identified many of...

There used to be a webpage that almost exactly fit your description at Eposic.com However it appears to be gone. I still have it saved. They might too. Perhaps ask them if they still have the code? The people involved were Michael Eidson (web code) and Bernhard Schaffer (dice images). However...

My DM does all of our initiative and condition tracking using various software. However, I personally (as a player) find the game far more involving when I personally keep track of the initiative. I try to scribble down the initiative as it happens in the first round. I find it really helps to...

I never really played 1E, so I'll just comment on the things I'd do to 2E, which should be more or less the same. Replace all the subsystems with d20 systems. Flip AC to work as per 3E/4E Consider static defenses ala 4E Consider removing the damage by target creature size variation

Having played a cleric with 16 str and 16 wis, followed by a 'typical' elf 20 dex archery ranger. I know which I prefer. Give me the hyper optimized character in any 4e game. I get far more role play value out of the ranger's 'spiked' 20 dex and 'dumped' 8 int. My cleric who had fairly...

That's more apt than you might think. Surgeons are for planned situations, bandaids are for 'oops'. Potions are great for getting you out of a sticky situation, but they'll never keep up with a cleric.

My DM has ruled (and I agree) that the Eladrin cannot fey step when he's prone. You must be standing in order to walk through the fey realm. I imagine the same would apply to our warlock's shadow walk, but it hasn't come up.

I second this. I had a dragonborn cleric with 16 str and 16 wis. He was terribly un-fun to play. I've been going over the cleric in detail in the last few days, and here is what I'd take for level 1: Human Cleric Str 10 Con 13 Dex 8 Int 10 Wis 18 + 2 (human stat) = 20 Cha 13 At wills: Lance...

Most of the points have been covered really. Don't expect 3E. In fact, don't expect anything you associate with DnD. I would have enjoyed the game (at the start) much more if it hadn't been called DnD. I'm finally almost over my issues with that 10 months in. If you think of it as 'generic...

I know this has already been answered, but seriously - Pick up a broomstick with one hand, and point it at someone. Easy. Pick up a greatsword by the handle, with one hand, and try to point it at someone. Not easy. Bare in mind that the difference in weight/mass isn't the only issue. You can...

For what it's worth, here's how I see the situation: Some powers require their effect to come 'from somewhere', other powers do not. Some powers have a cost, others do not. The infernal warlock's "Dark One's Blessing" cannot be used on a bag of rats because it needs to draw power from the cursed...

I nearly did. At the time I still wanted to see out the character background I'd written. By the end of KOTS I was convinced I'd never be satisfied with a) How long it was taking to resolve my character's background issues b) What the DM had in mind for doing so c) Continuing to play a...

We play monthly. My character died and was raised in session 4. It wasn't until session 10 that I got to try a different character. My character being killed wasn't the trigger to swap. Ending KOTS was the trigger to swap. My DM doesn't allow swaps mid-adventure. (not counting dying and not...

Recently I've determined that a lot of my initial hatred of 4E stemmed from one source - not understanding the game. This may seem like an obvious statement, but what I'm getting at, is the first character I created, I was stuck with for nearly a year. It got to the point where my character...

As a player, I wish my DM had run several sessions of 'learning the game' style play. The best way I can figure to do that is for each player to build 4 level 3 characters - one of each role. Each session you play a different role, until you've done this for 4 sessions. By then you should have a...

My group uses them, I do not. I find having the information listed out on a single page in a more traditional manner is easier to work with. Essentially I have 4 pages of character sheet (two pieces of paper, both sides). One of those pages lists my powers and what they do.

My favourite level is 1st level. However, if playing a full campaign at a given level, I'd prefer 2nd or maybe 3rd level.

How can a new book be a consenting adult? It's only just been born/printed! You need to stick with the 1E or possibly 2E DMG.

I have to pick up on this. What are the drawbacks to resting in real life? Short term, you might get irritable or bored. It will upset your sleeping pattern. Long term (too much resting, too little exercise), you will become lethargic and your muscles will waste away. Those are the only...

That's what I do. Except lately I keep forgetting how long it's been, so I come back to only 1 strip :P
