Nice work! My only issue is that the AC Ref etc covers the first two powers. Edit: Yeah actually haven't been able get this to work properly in Win7.

A cohesive argument and I happen to agree. Of course, what interests me is need for it. This is a game... a form of cooperative fiction for some, strategy and tactics for others, beer and pretzels night with friends or solving a mystery. I think some take aspects of the game too seriously...

Like monboesan said, 4e expressly gives the DM permission to make ANY magical plot device a Ritual. It doesn't have to be one the player's can use for many legitimate reasons. This isn't 3.5e, the "monsters" don't have to play by the same rules. Maybe have the Ritual to destroy x cubic...

After a quick skim through the beta... I have to say that this seems like you have started with 4e and then 3.5ified it. (or vice versa?) That being said, I like it. Personally I like 4e as it is, but I can see you put a lot of thought and work into this, and it looks like you may have just...

Believes??? *Looks at the success of Magic et al* Knows.

Here's a quick treatise on Fighters: Fighters are usually defenders. In MMORPG terms they are Tanks. To keep the enemies attacking them rather than the other party members. They primarily do this through Marking and generally having more Hit Points than everyone else. Beyond that, play...

First off welcome to ENWorld!! The discrepancy from 18 vs 14 Armored vs Unarmored has to do with the fact that if the character is NOT wearing Heavy Armor you get to use your Dex OR Int Bonus to AC. The cleric having a 17 is normal; the Chainmail he wears is only 1 AC less than Scale. As...

Me three

For initiative, in my games I have one player be responsible for keeping track and organizing the results, usually on a laminated surface. For quicker combats have some enemies surrender/run away when it is obvious they will lose. Also point out to your players that one use of the Intimidate...

A few quick thoughts on the topic. I agree, with the conspicuous silence from wotc, this seems to indicate change. Whether this is due to a shake-up of company direction is unknowable. Only Wizards knows how profitable their current situation is. Also, I would suggest that if things aren't...

Also, Bugbears were initially a Large weapon using race when they were first offered as a PC race in Dragon. That didn't too long when they realized the imbalance it created. Would never expect to see a Large PC race in 4e, ever.

When I first heard rumours about 4e, (I stopped playing shortly after 3.5) I did a Google search and ended up here. When all the preview information started showing up here I was hooked. 100001!!!!

A quick response to the VT fiasco. I have been in the beta for a few weeks now, and while not perfect, it has been quite fun and useful. While not as robust as Maptools or Fantasy Grounds, it has been fairly easy to learn and game with. Its not free like Maptools (I believe), but is not...

You know why I like this thread? Because I recently finished reading the Original, and came away thinking "this is crazy... look at all these people trying to convince each other that their perspective is the "correct" one...". I mean, obviously, mine is the only one that makes sense ;)

Looks interesting, but waiting for my registration to be approved before I can look into it more. The community doesn't seem to be particularly robust, from the posts I have read. By this, it doesn't seem to have a lot of players. The idea is very attractive, so I hope the 2nd round of...

Doesn't the definition of "Climb Speed" mean that you don't have to make a skill check when you are hit? I know they aren't stances, but the unspoken rule is that At-wills are exactly that; something that, even outside of combat, could be used repeatedly. That's my main concern. "You have...

Excuse me if this has already been discussed, but doesn't this trick essentially give the Thief a permanent Climb speed if desired? If so, seems a bit overpowered for 1st level, as it can circumvent many of the obstacles a low-level party would have to overcome.

"Plus we're doing the normal monthly erratta. Remember: You need an active D&D Insider subscription to update your Character Builder with the new data and features." This is the part I am not sure of. What does this mean? Was the CB updated too? I didn't see anything new in the CB.

Think that might be a mistake. 4e would never have a stat-raising feat, it goes against the demonstrated and stated design philosophy.

After reading the post, some of my nerdrage has died off. Getting Forgotten Kingdoms was a major thing for me, and having them actually say they are working on an export function gives me hope. I have to agree with the sentiments of many others on this thread: TALK to us! Tell us what's...
