    I'd buy tickets to see it.

    Stealth in Combat

    This theory begins to break down quickly when you are fighting creatures that cannot speak. Do dire wolves telepathically let one another know when ninjas are afoot? Furthermore, If I see a ninja, and I say "watch out, Joe, ninja attack!" and Joe's perception was beaten, he can flail his head...

    podcast: 4th edition combat too long

    This podcast is junk. Those people don't even know what's going on half the time, they're not even paying attention to the game. Probably because the DM is so God awful. /rant On D&D game day I played with 5 total strangers and we finished 1 noncombat encounter and 3 combat encounters in less...

    "Fun"

    We must have different books. At the top of page 193 in my DMG I see "Random Encounters".

    I don't get what you'all are saying

    Storm Raven: I really don't know where you're getting this stuff from, it's just circular argument. The only legitimate complaint you've made in that regard is my misunderstanding of the author of the chain shirt fighter; which happened due to it being quoted in your post. Other than that, not...

    Stealth in Combat

    Why would calling out to your comrades allow them to see or hear something that they cannot see or hear? "Hey where did that rogue go!? I can't see her!" "Hark, friend, I see her in that bush!" "Oh, hey, I see her now too! W00t!" I'm pretty sure the rule is whoever's check you beat can't see...

    No Animate Dead?

    I find it interesting that even after 4e divorced alignment from game mechanics, people are STILL arguing about 3e alignment. In 4e rules. :D

    You don't like the new edition? Tell me about it!

    Now someone tell me why this can't be done in 4e, since that was the original argument leveled.

    4.5E: When?

    I find it incredibly useful and a great addition to the system. Plus you can too put magic items on your NPCs.

    I don't get what you'all are saying

    I'd completely disagree. What is it about the fighter/barbarian specifically that makes it suck "over the course of a campaign?" It's certainly not skill points, because one of your posited characters was a chain shirt & rapier fighter who would not only suck in combat, but also have among the...

    4e Power Cards on the cheap

    Wow, those are pricey. I understand that it's private distribution but that's a $120 investment. It's also incomplete: they look great but for that much money (for me) it'd have to include paragon and epic, plus all racial and feat powers, plus blank cards. But hey, it's not allowed anyway...

    Dwarf = Pack mule

    As a weightlifter I can tell you that adding your hands to a load can often (greatly) reduce the weight you can move, and you don't necessarily need your hands at all to carry around the maximum possible weight your body allows. I think when it says "requires both hands" that is referring to...

    Ever quit a gaming group because of another player?

    I had a DM with most of those, specifically GSF#5. I got invited to be a groomsman at his wedding after gaming with them for 3 months. :cool:

    4.5E: When?

    Basically what that means is each new core set would have current errata plus brand new content. I'd like that.

    I don't get what you'all are saying

    That's not really accurate. Like I said, that level 12 rogue is packing 8 BAB, Evasion, Uncanny Dodge, and 6d6 sneak attack. He can decide not to use them, just as a 4e rogue can decide not to use his. 4e has more feats than 3.x--you can make ALL of your feats serve noncombat functions. You can...

    You don't like the new edition? Tell me about it!

    For sure, but this is also true in 4e, thus reinforcing my point.
