I really like this nice simple idea.

Really enjoying this thread!

My 2cp. I am an unabashed lover of any and every new iteration of D&D. Started with B/X and loved every new edition since.... at least for awhile :). I will admit to a certain level of fickleness when it comes to D&D. I get excited by possibilities, but when it ceases to work for me, I'll...

Apologies if this has already been addressed, but I cannot find out what the effects are of lightly obscured anywhere in the playtest packet. It is mentioned enough that I assume it has some in-game mechanics associated with it. Anyone find anything?

This. I think its easy to see the added benefits a high dex character already receives. Not sure why a high-AC, lightly armoured PC is essential. Can anyone explain this to me?

First part, yup. Second part, I would add "if you can see your target." This would be RAI IMHO.

Of all the interesting ideas I have read, the one that appeals to me the most is using a Ritual-based healing magic only. Seems simplest to implement, and while not being a traditional D&D trope, easily fits in most literature-based fantasy settings IMO. It would be a big change from...

Inspiring!

My 2 cp: First of all, I get that there are many different things that players of D&D want from their D&D. The whole point of DDN seems to be to try and hit a sweet spot where as many of these varied desires can be realized in one ruleset as possible. This why I agree with Cadfan that having...

I have to say this is the first time I have seen such an argument made, and I have to say it makes sense. My gut tells me its easier to add CAW to a CAS style combat system, but I admit 4e could have done a lot more in that regard. I am like the other poster who used to be a fan of CAW...

Played most of the essentials characters. Favs include: Pyromancer Mage Eladrin Feypact Hexblade (teleporting fool) Tiefling Infernal Pact Hexblade (sadist/masochist) Half-Orc Gladiator Greatspear-wielding Slayer who did crazy charge damage Dragonborn Cavalier of Valor I have to agree with...

Good point on minions... as much as the mechanic seems cool in theory, personally, I find the metagame knowledge that minions only have 1 hp takes away from the satisfaction of the "one hit" kill that in past editions used to bring about a round a high-fives when a PC one-shotted a monster...

Like many say its tough to say with certainty in a "what if" situation, but.... Personally, I left D&D shortly after 3.5 came out, for various reasons. One of the key ones was I just didn't have the time to run the game as it was. I found the rules imbalances too much effort to deal with...

Cute lady and a cute cat got my vote. Good luck! 301 and counting

Looks like Hirst Arts stuff to me. Hirst Arts Fantasy Architecture Inc. Build your own castles easily. I know for a fact someone on the Interwebs sells these pre-made and painted. ed: this should get you started http://www.hirstarts.com/links/links.html

I've been in the beta since it started and was one of its earlier propponents, but in the last months or two I haven't been playing. Mostly it was because of time constraints, but I was beginning to find the lack of importable images/maps to be making combat a bit, well, bland. I know that you...

QFT nuff said.

Loved my Eladrin Feyblade, teleporting pointy goodness! Pyromancer Mage was a deadly striker-wizard, and super fun to RP. Had a deadly Charge/Longspear based Slayer who was simple but fun to play. I also really liked playing the Bow Hunter... kinda like a Seeker, just better :) Had a...

DDI Virtual Table Top... I have a weekly game (had 4 at one point) and its almost as good as playing in RL (DM and players depending of course). Requires DDI subscription, VTT Beta invite (I believe they are trying to give one of these to all DDI subscribers), a computer and decent internet...
