    Who's miffed about 5th edition?

    Now THAT is funny.

    D&D 4E 4E: What we think we know

    No it is really more to do with man power I think. You just can't release 2 or 3 fully fleshed out and edited campaign worlds and keep producing all your standard books in a few months time. You have to space them out. I would think they would still release them within the first year, but I...

    [rumor, not fact!] Hasbro selling off WotC

    I can personally attest to this fact. I have never in my life drank more than at the dozens and dozens of cons were I volunteered for WotC. Knowing people with ‘per diem’ is a good thing.

    Anti-Tumble Feat

    Humm. Do they get to add their deflection and luck and other bonuses to this? If so then that does not sound too bad.

    Do you think the ___ Orb line of spells are too powerful?

    Thanks :) It does seem to work so fare. It sucks so bad when the party wizard can't do ANYTHING against a drow/demon/death knight or what have ya. First you have to break their SR then the save (which they make a heck of a lot of the time) so it is nice to have something that is limited but...

    Anti-Tumble Feat

    I thought about making a feat like this. But once 3.5 came out and the armor restrictions were put in as well as the increase DC for each person tumbling past I have found it is not an issue any more. Before fighters were using it to get behind the front lines and such… now only monks or...

    Do you think the ___ Orb line of spells are too powerful?

    I was waiting for someone to talk about that thread. And your analysis then was enlightening and really helpful. But for me, the reason I ban these spells as they are written has nothing to do with how they are or are not broken. It is about the feel of the game. To me, a wizard should have...

    What do you miss from the good ol' days?

    The only thing I miss is the box sets. I could always stash my Play Boys in the bottom and my mom would never find them. Golden days. Other than that I miss nothing.

    Pre-Gen Con WotC Press Conference

    Well that would be one way for them to not ever get my money hehe.

    Resist Energy, Mass - Encounter Problem

    /agree It would be asinine for a Fire Giant to not expect people to attack it with cold and it would be equally stupid for a Fire Giant to not expect the person attacking it to be smart enough to have at least some resistance to fire. Monsters are not stupid (well some are...). Resist...

    Shield Other...

    I know this has been talked about before but I cannot find the correct thread for the life of me. /sorry I have two paladins that cast shield other on each other. Now they are going to start using a buff that gives 5/-. So how exactly does that work? Axe hits paladin1 for 45 points so they...

    Reforming the grapple mechanic

    I am very intrigues by this… anyone have a link to a full description of the mechanic? Or can provide one?

    Revenance + Revivify

    A 1000gp diamond is just as rare as any other 1000gp gem. Does your DM just say "Nope they just have emeralds and rubies today"? Diamonds are fare from rare on Earth so I don’t see any reason why they would be any rarer in a world with magic and dwarves. Not to mention the endless amount of...

    Harry Potter, D&D, and the children's market

    First, the best way to market to kids is not to market to them. Pre-teen and teenagers do NOT want to play ‘kid’ games. The best marketing for that age group is to market to 20 somethings but make it accessible to younger people. Just ask the tobacco companies. Second, the idea that...

    Revenance + Revivify

    Yea I made the mistake of only quoting the parts that were pertinent to my initial question... had no idea we would get off on this tangent.

    Revenance + Revivify

    It is a big deal if you want your players to think about death as something bad. If you want death to have some bite then this combo is really powerful at mid to high level were you have lots of spell slots available. I guess I hold out hope that one day the player playing the rogue will...

    Revenance + Revivify

    Yes it has a short time limit. Rounds per level to cast it and min per level for the duration as I recall. I am going to let the combo work but I just can't live with 1,000gp, it makes death totally meaningless at mid to high level... not that it had it before but it hurts to have to drop 25k...

    Revenance + Revivify

    Sorry for the miss understanding. Revenance works like raise dead BUT they come back with half hit points and NO exp penalties. Both spells state that. I did not quote them in full. If you use the combo you are only out 1,000gp and 2 spells. No exp, no con, and no 5-25,000gp. Also I...

    Revenance + Revivify

    Did not look up the cost of true rez... it is 25k now so it is saving them 24,000gp.
