What edition? That doesn't really sound like 4e, but I could be wrong.

At no point did I even hint that Large creatures shouldn't be heroes. I have no idea where you got that. Large creatures aren't typically appropriate for PCs, though, and it's mainly because of the weapon issue. If you change the dice, then there are a number of abilities that work different. A...

I would recommend checking out the Wraith Recon books. It's about playing the game as a strike force. Tom Clancy's D&D, basically. I run for 2 players. One is a Changeling Bard. The other is a pure Ranger. I don't really hold anything back. I use what I want, and they go with it. That can make...

No. Part of the reason is that they've stated that they don't want a PC to use a large weapon. That's why they've removed the ability from Monster Races that they've turned into PC Races. What would you hope to get out of being Large? Goliaths and Minotaurs are pretty big, but they can't use...

I love reskinning. I'm currently playing a "Human Blacksmith" in a Ravenloft game. When he gets bloodied, he suddenly changes into a Werebear. He's a Shifter Barbarian. One of the players was new to 4e. He wanted to play a Necromancer. OH MY GOD! He was absolutely stuck on things being exactly...

A 60 mile walk!? I'm sorry, but I'm gonna go ahead and call shenanigans. Did you mean 6 miles?

Germans who don't drink alcohol?! Seriously, as a German teacher in an American high school, I can say that you're ruining my stereotypes. :)

I'm a 27 year old teacher. I started playing in college. I had been reading D&D books for years. They saw it as a good way for me to make friends, and they still do. They thinks it's silly, but they don't really care. I've talked to about gaming with some of my students. Some kids have played...

Did a bot just join so that it could help with this pressing question by pointing us to the top of the page?

I also refluff quite a bit, both as a DM and a player. There are definitely some people who don't understand that the mechanics are the important part of the powers, not the fluff pieces. We started a Ravenloft game last week. One player had been complaining that he couldn't make a Necromancer...

Sorry for this. If you are looking for "clarification", then you want someone to "clarify" something. "Clearification" and "clearify" aren't words.

Why would they need to spend multiple Action Points to use another Encounter Power? You can do that anyway.

What do the players think of this? I agree with some of the other posters. This seems needlessly complex.

They can already do that, though. The powers are a "clear and finite list of attack powers". Sure, they've already got certain effects tacked on, but there are much easier ways to change things. I implemented Spiffy Points as a way of allowing the players to do something a bit different with an...

3rd hit on Google. I played with a power-hungry douche-DM a couple of years ago. I wanted a game to tide me over until 4e came out, so I found a local group. It was absolutely horrible. He was power-hungry, had no true concept of balance, and even went so far as to change my description of...

They are. Thanks.

I just noticed that last month's new Artificer build wasn't included in the new update for the Character Builder. Has anyone else noticed things missing that should be in there? I mean, they included the Ardent, and that came out today.

Count me as another person who doesn't think that the DM is the master of the universe. I have no problem calling my DMs out when they're being crappy. 9 10th level guys doesn't mean that 2 level 17 Elites are a good challenge. Hell, 1000 level 19 guys aren't a challenge for Tiamat. The same...

I like it. I haven't read the whole thing, but I did check out the Level 29 Dailies. I like the one that allies all of your allies to make an At-Will. Depending on how many allies and their choices, that could be enough to seriously hamper a powerful enemy.

The math is balanced around that weapon being a +3 or +4, not a +2. More powerful weapons aren't available until the higher levels for a reason. There's no real problem with this being a +3 or +4 and having those powers. The biggest issue is that it's similar to the 3.5 LA problem. A character...
