Generally I'd say don't in damned near any D&D campaign. You could do it in a 'real roleplayer' game but it really needs combat to be a very minor part of the campaign The character should get completely ginsued by level appropriate threats

Nope, For a start some classes are always attacking AC which is higher than the NADs, proficiency bonuses on the weapons makes up for that. Then there's the point that implement attacks mostly (I can't think of exceptions but there might be some) do fixed dice of damage which weapon attacks do...

It can be done but needs the GM to take account of the problems for characters which include - heavy armour wearing classes will have an AC 7-10 points below what they'd expect so they'll almost always be being hit. Light armour wearing classes might be 2 or 3 AC points down -> assuming not a...

pretty much all of the melee strikers are reasonable (the Assassin is generally thought to be underpowered) rogues are fragile two weapon rangers probably still do the most damage of any class as a general rule barbarians do fair damage, so does the Avenger. Really it's much more about picking...

It doesn't need a special name. Daggers, hand axes, clubs, javelins are all examples.

Dragon, Dungeon etc are there. There was no guarantee of a monthly character builder update. I don't recall people getting refunds for Kill Bill part 1...

Just call Flaming Sphere a flaming skeleton and you're covered for level 1 dailies...

You weren't entitled to a refund. Wizards have not breached any part of their service agreement. They have chosen to go beyond what they had to do and give you a refund. If something doesn't live up to your expectations you aren't entitled to a refund if it actually meets what was agreed to in...

a) DDI is more than the character builder and you're still getting dungeon and dragon updates, so you're still getting at least part of your subscription value b) there has never been a guarantee in the licence that there will be a character builder every month. The magazine case is different...

It depends. Strikers do more damage to single targets Defenders generally do better at absorbing damage Leaders do the least direct damage, Controllers can be highly variable depending on what you're doing and encounters. As a general rule a well built ranger will do the most damage (there...

I find it hard to see why people would favour 4d6 on the grounds of getting more heroic characters seeing as you've got about a 43% chance of no stat of 16 or higher.

hafted defence helps shore up the AC. You'll probably be str and either dex or wis so you'll be getting either good fort and will or good fort and reflex

I think it basically comes down to a lack of feat and power support. Other weapon groups have much more in the way of options that you can pick up (I've created a greatspear fighter for a campaign that'll be starting up in a month or two and I'll eventually be sliding, pushing, pulling...

Champions has character building software back in the 90s, I believe Hero Games still has some. There are quite a few community built tools for 3rd ed games. I used 1 of them pretty consistantly for a few years (pcgen) and it mostly did the job but I found it was inelegant (especially handling...

If the original poster is thinking of the one I'm thinking of it was live action, not (apart from some special effects like long shots of riding on a cloud iirc) animated Monkey (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia has some details.

I don't agree with you there. It strikes me as something that a person could easily try and do if they're in a world where the items exist and work. (Whether it's practical in battle or under pressure is a different question) If the ruleset doesn't reflect the world you want to play in then I'd...

Off the top of my head - steal one of their items and have them track down the thief who is linked to an organisation who becomes their main enemy. - let them know of a powerful artifact and have them track it down and get roped into it's goals (they get a payoff of power, you get to involve...

It's a character using up a lot of actions to be able to change his neck slot item. Would you have the same feeling if the character removed his normal neck slot and put on the healing slot? I disagree with the idea that no character in the game would do it. If I had a magic necklace that will...
