nah, the one crazy rule (which is very easily house-ruled) doesn't make the rest of the class less fun to play. I still enjoy having a guy who can somersault through the air and move upwards of 15 squares a round!

Ah! Thanks again! No wonder my compendium-and-book searching didn't bring it up :)

Not really, a flat +3 means that 45% are 15 or more (and 50% are 14 or more). I wouldn't call a relative 6% difference "pretty big". With +3, 15% are greater than 20, whereas with (roll two), 0% are greater than 20. With +3, 0% are 3 or less, with (roll two), 2.25% are 3 or less.

My personal crazy "flavour vs rules" moment was when I realised that my Razorclaw shifter Monk couldn't make use of Blurring Claws to do extra damage, seeing all his attacks were 'implement' based, not weapons...never mind that he's attacking with fist and claw!

Yup, thanks :) It's the same thing with a weapon that makes your attack a certain damage type, too? (I can never find these rules when I need them :p )

The big difference is that the rolling twice only increases your d20 roll average. You still end with a value between 1 and 20. Improved Initiative increases your min and max, too, so your value is between 5 and 24. The outside rolls are also important, as a straight +4 will mean you won't...

Australia, and still waiting.

Can someone remind me: would "Hell's Chosen" add the "fire" word to Eldritch Bast or not?

Similar to this, I know for a fact that if I am DMing 4e, I will roll 15+ all night, with only one die. If I am playing 4e, I can roll 2d20, and gain a total which happily remains in single digits!

I find it funny that once again, their eratta needs eratta. The visual examples of their 'changes' for the changeling go directly against what they said they were doing :p

Interesting. I really like their "speed-up" racial power, though, which is where they really differ. I would have liked more than two shifter types, but the Razorclaw shifter is my fav of the two. I have a Razorclaw monk who routinely gets up to speeds of 12 / move (thanks to Dragonborn...

Razortooth? :p What is it that people don't like about the shifters, though?

It helps being (a) paragon, and (b) having an artificer in the party. My current level 13 fighter has had dwarven armour (daily power to heal as if spending a surge), and I constantly use it, in an effort to allow the artificer to use his healing on the rest of the party. Also, not being a...

Yup, and is why i have an issue with it. If it is broken, fix it - don't make us buy your second attempt! On one hand, it makes the previous items we have bought useless (for example, scorching flame is now a waste of space, and wizards have one less spell choice than they would have...

Yeah, this really annoys me :( Why continually bring out powers that are simply out-and-out more powerful than current powers? Do they enjoy making our previous books irrelevant?

I like the set - large scale grasslands would be nice, but better used for a poster map or the like. We have a large sheet of thick plastic with an inch grid drawn on it, and with the lighting, it is actually a little hard workign out the squares on wilderness tiles - so for large areas, the...

There was a notice up a few weeks ago saying that Amazon had received reports about faulty stock, and they were taking it down until they could fix up their stock. The sign went away, but the books dodn't come back on, so my guess is that they still don't have the replacement stock.

Indeed. I am playing a goliath warden, and although I wanted to, not a single warden PP beat out the barb's bear warrior PP. The goliath racial came close, but still the barbarian PP won.

I thought Peter Schaefer's comment was a little bit out of place: I mean, I totally agree with it, but isn't that the whole problem with multiclassing feats at the moment? Wouldn't it have been better to take this idea and apply it there, too? (eg: one feat gives skill training and counts as...

I'm running two monthly games, one 4e, and one 3.5e, as well as a 4e game at work during lunch breaks. The 3.5e one has been going on for two years (we are level 10, gestalt), and is more like 3.75e now. I use 4e stuff behind the scenes, to make monsters more interesting and easier to create...
