    I hope 4.5 isn't called "4.5"

    There won't be a 4.5, so that should solve that.

    Digital miniatures to be converted to plastic miniatures?

    Painted, unpainted, plastic, metal, doesn't really matter to me. I just want to see it happen. :D That sounds awesome. That may be enough to get me back into World of Warcraft, if only to make characters who look like my D&D character of choice, equip them appropriately, and then have a...

    Digital miniatures to be converted to plastic miniatures?

    This exchange was from the podcast interview with Chris Perkins. It's around 1 hour and 8 minutes in. So what do you folks think? Personally, I'd be ecstatic to see this become a reality. How awesome would it be to design a digital version of your character, mail in the image, and a couple...

    DDO is dead!

    I was recently invited to play in an Eberron campaign, so I thought I'd give DDO another try, just to get myself into an Eberron mood. But man, this thread killed that desire quite nicely. Thanks for saving me $15. :D

    D&D 4E NPC classes? How are non-classed characters working in 4e?

    I've always liked the NPC Classes, and rather liked the Nonheroic Class from Star Wars Saga, myself. What I especially like about it was how it took three Nonheroic levels to equal one PC levels. So even if you somehow ended up with a Level 30 Nonheroic character, he was only equivalent to a...

    Alignment: pretty sure how it works

    I knew a player who treated a Neutral alignment like so. If the PC's were the underdog in the encounter, then he'd stick around and fight. But if they had the advantage in the encounter, then his character wouldn't fight and he'd go outside and have a smoke.

    Separating combat role from non-combat role

    Personally, I'm hoping to see some kind of system where you can take the skills useful for combat situations, and also take skills useful for social situations. I'd suggest simply increasing the number of Skill Points, but that'd just lead to people taking more combat related skills, and not...

    Let's Hear it for Wizard in Armor!

    Nice. Guess we don't need the Spellsword Prestige Class, anymore.

    Torm vs. Tyr

    Well, when I talk about him supporting the Balance, I'm thinking of the novel Crucible, here, in which Cyric, Mystra, and Kelemvor were put on trial for failing in their godly duties. Tyr was ready to convict all three, despite the fact that their continued existence was for the good (Mystra and...

    Torm vs. Tyr

    There're a couple of scenarios under which Torm can take Tyr's place and still stay true to his ethos. Take the inevitable loss of worshippers that Tyr is bound to see as a result of this. Remember, Helm lost a ton of worshippers for far less (Maztica, which he didn't even order, and the Time of...

    Do you like the name "Rob Heinsoo"?

    There should be a poll option for those of us who want to change that name, but don't like the choices presented. Personally I'd like to see Rob Heinsoo renamed as Mickey MnSnarfblatt. Now that's a name I want to see in my 4E PHB.

    mystery race : what would you hate the most ?

    Geeze, so many choices! I voted Warforged in the end, but my reasons for disliking all the of the following: Catfolk - Gah, no Furries! Now that I've had a couple more seconds to think about it, I would've voted for them over Warforged. I'm sick of the idea of animal races. Especially with...

    Greg Bilsland: Prophecy of the Priestess Part IV

    That's why I'm hoping we'll eventually see a Martial Controller. We've already got a Martial Defender (Fighter), Martial Striker (Rogue), and Martial Leader (Warlord). If they were to make a Martial Controller, then it'd be possible to take a party which doesn't need magic but is still as...

    D&D 4E 4e Design and JRR Tolkien

    I never read the first two books, but was anything said about Professor McGonagall's love life? How about Professor Trelawney? Or Professor Sprout? If so, are they all lesbians?

    Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what a Martial Controller would look like?

    It takes skill to use his equipment. For instance, it isn't enough to have the know-how to make alchemical grenades. You also gotta have a good throwing arm, too, if you want to put those grenades to good use. The guy doesn't just make items. He uses them to fight. And to put them to the most...

    Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what a Martial Controller would look like?

    Because it'd necessitate to many changes to the base class. You want to have a Fighter who's also a Striker. Then he'd have to choose a Talent Tree which gives him D6 Hit Die, Medium Base Attack Bonus, High Reflex Saves, and only Light Armor Proficiency? Wouldn't it be easier to just play a...

    Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what a Martial Controller would look like?

    What you're looking for is a classless system. How is one supposed to create a Fighter who can take the place of the Cleric as Leader (The heal/buff monkey)? Or a Wizard who operates as a Defender, standing up front, taking the hits and dishing out the damage in melee? It can't be done. That...
