Well, the Core Gift Set page on Amazon says "In Stock July 14th" My email says they're shipping tomorrow. I'm not holding my breath though.

It should remain based on Wisdom, because classes are typically balanced around multiple ability scores. I like 1/2 Wisdom bonus, because if one really wants to focus on this kind of thing, it produces useful results without being absolutely foolproof.

This is such a great build. And I don't just mean mathematically, but thematically and evocatively. The image of a Dwarf Ranger wading through enemies and carving them up with two axes is just perfect. This is exactly what I always wanted from a Ranger (or at least, what I always wanted to be...

Yep, that's what I was asking. Basically, I wanted to make overall failure more difficult (but still possible) while keeping the total number of successes the same, to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to succeed and that the skill challenge wouldn't hinge on one or two characters. I...

I thought this thread was about fixing orbs :p I don't see the problem resulting from sleep, exactly. I see the problem resulting from someone focusing heavily on Wisdom and creating an auto-failure for any non-eilte/solo monster, and near-guaranteed failure for elites and solos. The...

I'm sort of stuck, because it's not my preorder, it was preordered for me as a gift. I'm not about to be so rude as to buy another set of books or ask her to cancel her preorder. I didn't know Amazon was so notorious with preorder sales, honestly. I've preordered from them before and didn't...

Mods, please lock, thanks.

Stalker, this is a great thread. You always have something interesting to say, and this is no exception. In fact, this probably takes the cake. Thanks for doing all this. I have a question, and please forgive me if it's been addressed already. What happens if, at each difficulty level, we...

So, do these two abilities stack, or overlap? If it's indicated anywhere, I'm not sure where. What I'm asking is: As a 16th level Stormwarden, do I deal 2[Dex] (half Lightning and half untyped) to one adjacent enemy at the end of my turn and 1[Dex mod] (Lightning) to a second adjacent enemy...

On the one hand this about the Portable Hole. On the other... it's always seemed really inappropriate for the genre. Dungeons and Dragons: Cartoon Rabbits Meet Sword-Wielding Superheroes in Space!

I think Humans and Eladrin are pretty even; it sort of depends on what you want out of your character. The extra at-will makes humans a bit more adaptable. If you've got a particular focus you're going for, pick the Eladrin. Also, don't underestimate Fey Step;it's great for escaping, but it...

Let's see... I like the Powers system. I like that it's a unified mechanic across all the classes, with slight variations amongst each one. I think that probably sticks in a lot of craws, but it's got me more interested in playing a wider variety of classes. In terms of mechanical mastery...

I dunno... not exceptionally funny. I generally don't like his comics though.

I like Ray of Frost, myself. Especially for a human, elemental-type. Grab Ray of Frost, Scorching Burst, and Thunderwave. (I love Thunderwave. An AOE damage with push? Yes, please.) Anyway, you've got all the bases covered in your at wills: single target damage/debuff, ranged burst, and a...

Seems to me that's exactly what it is.

Nope. Read this That means the spell is evil. End of discussion. If your character casts this spell, by RAW, your character is committing an evil act. In 3rd edition, alignment is not relative. It is intricately tied to the mechanics, and while I agree with Aria's sentiment that it...

With Spell Focus plus the Orb implement power... you can really put a hurtin' on those big-boss mobs. Say an 18 Wisdom plus spell focus (which is -1 or -2? Can't remember) and you're looking at a save penalty that completely negates a Solo monsters +5 to saving throws. I'm thinking Orbs are a...

I haven't noticed this with my PHB. Still waiting on the other two books.

They sound different to me... maybe that's because I've seen them speaking as well as heard. Anyway, Mike (Gabe) has a somewhat higher voice with a lisp, if that helps.

And, amazingly enough, pro-4e people... in the 4e forums! Has the world gone mad?
