    Problems with pronunciation

    'Bow' is a word that can be pronounced more than one way for it's different meanings. Which did you mean?

    D&D 4E Roles in 4E D&D - Combat and Non-Combat Roles

    I dunno, my group doesn't focus on non-combat skills that much. We don't have a party 'face', and I'm glad... because then nobody else would ever talk. I mean, why would we? Whoever has the best diplomacy should be the one talking, in case there's a skill check, right? Who needs roleplaying...

    Warlock's Curse stacking THP & maybe BRV also

    I suppose I'm really just bothered by how weak the Pact Boon is at heroic levels then. 1 Temp HP at level 1? It does start ramping up in usefulness as you level, but my highest character (a Ranger) is only level 6, so I suppose I don't know how higher level play works very well.

    Warlock's Curse stacking THP & maybe BRV also

    Yes, especially since not only the Starlock, but the Darklock explicitly stacks. And the Darklock's Darkspiral Aura sticks around until end of encounter or he uses it too. Also, while I said 'stack', I don't really consider this a case of Temp HP stacking. More like the pact boon being "gain...

    Warlock's Curse stacking THP & maybe BRV also

    I'd say it stacks. It almost has too, because the Starlocks To-Hit bonus Boon certainly does stack.

    Favourite Warlock Pact

    You can't actually do that, since it's a Interrupt, and you can't use those on your own turn. The new errata makes this even more clearly by removing the line about it being a free action.

    Warlock pact for NPC with demonic connections?

    Lolth is a goddess. She has clerics, not warlocks. Dark Pact is with the powers of the Underdark, which is not quite the same thing.

    Piracy

    Who uses scans? I'm pretty sure most of the pirated pdfs are just copies of the official ones.

    Shaman questions

    Hm, the spirit isn't listed as able to shift... just move when you do. Although a shift is a move action, so maybe it was supposed to be implied. I'd say it does trigger OAs, though, because that's (normally) a melee attack, and those can be used on the spirit. The type of action used to...

    Conditionfs and dying

    Sadly, it's all 3. That's how my Drow Sorcerer died. Ongoing Poison dropped him to negative bloodied. Of course, I would have died anyway, since I failed my 3rd death save that round too. (Seriously, I failed 6 saves. 3 death, 3 poison). That was a bad night for our PCs, we had terrible rolls.

    Are Archer Rangers getting the Shaft?

    My solution so far is a Cloak of Distortion. Ranged attacks from more than 5 squares away take a -5 penalty. (Yes, I play an Elven Archer.) My worst enemy is getting caught in melee (usually because of a cramped dungeon) or magic-users with area attacks. On open ground I tend to be very...

    The fireball spell through the editions

    The 4E Fireball is weaker, but it's not a career spell. It's a 5th level Daily, and you'll likely replace it at a higher level.

    Why do 4e combats grind?

    As a player, if nobody is knocked unconscious during a combat, it shouldn't have been a combat. Personally, the closer to a TPK we are, the more fun I'm having.

    Sigil Ciy of Doors (Topology of a Torus) - MATHS

    (Note that I'm not familiar with Sigil from previous products). Okay, I think I see it now. Wow, that's actually kinda stupid. Why the hell did they make it rounded like that? Like Dire Bane said, it appears to be a ring that is almost a torus. They could have just said 'ringworld' or...

    Sigil Ciy of Doors (Topology of a Torus) - MATHS

    Look at the picture again. Look at the part right above the 'Sigil' label, between The Clerk's Ward and The Hive. It clearly shows how the city wraps around the inside of the tube. I seriously don't understand how someone can look at this picture and see a ringworld. It's clearly a torus.

    Sigil Ciy of Doors (Topology of a Torus) - MATHS

    There is no hole. The 'Illumination' section even flat out says that at night you can look up and see the city on the far side. You could explain that by saying it's a ringworld type thing, but that isn't what's displayed on the picture. The picture clearly shows city built on the so-called...

    Monk a striker: Why? (Forked Thread: 3rd Party Poopers)

    Me, I just want a few things. Some sort of Wuxia-inspired class, a Ninja who's more than a reflavored Rogue, and some sort of yes, Street Fighter or King of Fighters type fighter. Actually, I suppose I just want Asian flavored stuff in general. Just for the sake of being a little different...
