    In game explanations of out of game mechanics

    Considering that other than the Second Wind mechanic, healing surges can only be triggered by outside forces it really comes down to what is triggering it. If it is the healing word power you are actually getting rejuvinated by the cleric's god. If it is coming from the Inspiring word mechanic...

    In game explanations of out of game mechanics

    I don't think you understand the differences between a Healing Surge and a Second Wind. Second Wind is a specific use of Healing Surge which can be used once per encounter. Healing Surge is a mechanic built into the game which gives you the hard limit of healing and damage your body can take...

    So what are you going to play with 4e?

    The game my group kick started last night with me at the DM features a world where the further away from the crazed evil sun god's capital city the shorter the days are. Combine this with the fact that something is causing the god's earthly empire to fall into chaos give the heroes, who live out...

    How do you multiclass?

    Nope. The new MC paradigm is you have a primary class and can dabble in a second class (as others have put it). You can also choose to forgo a Paragon Path when you hit 11 to pick up even more powers and such from your sub class.

    How do you multiclass?

    You pick the main of the two, then use the multi-class feats to pick up abilities tied to the second. I.E. Warlord takes Warrior of the Wild at 1st, now he is a Warlord with a few Ranger skills and tricks

    Missing Warlock Power

    Nat as much bang for your buck since your main stat is Cha and not Con with the Fey pact.

    Tell me about the planes in your campaign.

    My campaign world is a sequel to the first 3ed game I played in where the campaign centered around the PC's trying to restore Pelor to his divine providence after a coalition of Mindflayers, Drow, and Vampires conspired to magically seal away the source of their weakness. Ultimately the party...

    So who has the Core Books today?

    Just picked up a second PHB at a local Books-a-Million (no FLGS in these parts)

    Wizards site is down...a good sign, or just a first strike by Orcus?

    Is anyone else getting an error if they try and click on the minimum system specs?

    Keep on Shadowfell with a 7yo

    I am actually planning on using Lego Minifigures to ease my group into battle grids and miniatures.

    Warlord - I don't get it

    It is the class for the tactician/group motivator with military trappings instead of divine or arcane. As a fan of the 3e Marshal I have to say that it is a concept I am completely behind.

    I also have the books [merged] (info on upcomming Power sources and more)

    All the book says about stacking is that bonuses of the same type do not stack. Take the highest bonus of each type that you need and roll away.

    ::pout:: No duelist?

    Rapier is considered a light blade

    ::pout:: No duelist?

    Rogue with the fighter multiclass so you can pick up sword master (only problem is you need str to take advantage of swordmaster) I would most likely take the artful dodger option and have Dex as most important while trying to split focus between Str and Cha

    So why can ANYONE use rituals?

    Anyone can use a ritual so that parties can get by without a caster in the party. If it fits the flavor of your setting then houserule it to casters only. I know my game will be leaving it as is since I want to be able to have moments similar to Conan the Barbarian, where the resurrected Conan...

    So...anything on Craft?

    This pretty much covers exactly why I bought KotS and why I will most likely buy H2-P3. I am busy with a 1 year old daughter and work. I don't always have time to draw up my own maps of dungeons. Instead I am going to strip mine the modules and drop them into the world and storyline I have had...

    Ki and Elemental - Whatever

    Ki being something between Martial and Psionic allows Psionic classes to focus on Telepathy and TK without as much of the pseudo science that so many people had a problem with. Now the body modification stuff can be picked up by Ki including new fluff to explain why they are able to do such...

    Ki and Elemental - Whatever

    When I think about the Ki being mastery over your own soul I think about about people who are able to make their body do impossible things (Martial artists in fantastic Kung-Fu movies in particular) A Ki class would be able push their bodies to jump higher, run faster, and maybe even throw a Ki...
