Unless it is a sharp club. Oh, hang on, that's an axe.

I've got one: SURVIVOR. :1: SLIPPERY SWINE 'The Survivor ducks and weaves out of the way causing your attack to miss endangering those around him.' (Reaction - At Will - Trigger - When attacked adjacent to any other target friend or foe): If the Survivor is next to a friend or foe when...

This isn't new to 4E. This is always an issue. Every village or town would have to be built like a castle to hold off all the stuff in D&D. That is the problem of having increasing power levels. In real life humans would have about 3 levels max and the same would go for eveything else...

I live in England. We call it ripoff Britain. Prices are so high here it isn't just a rip off, it is an insult and a joke. We are abused.

Geeks have better crap detectors. If there is something wrong with scifi or such we want it to die. We want to moan about it, smash it, destroy its children so its bad genes do not carry on and burn all evidence of it. Anyone who watches cars go round and round and round and round and round and...

I think a simple system would be a simple weight increment that reduces move by 1 offset by your strength/constitution modifier. +4 mod would mean 4 x weight increment for free. Say the increment is 20lbs. 100lbs at strength+4 would be -1 move. The increment needs changing, but it seems...

Yeah, you can't hold back or no-one listens, lol.

The way I see the editions. OD&D - Good first try. An innovation but a baby that needed to grow up with experience. Vancian casting is crap. Basic D&D - Streamlined, massively improved and good flowing OD&D. Not enough complexity or options. Too much on the fly. Vancian casting is crap. 1st...

I am not saying the negatives are sheep. It is the fence sitters that tend to be sheep and follow the negative. Doubters are fine, but I would say that because I am a terminal doubter. I am weary about some elements of 4E - but I find ways to deal with it in a balanced way - for a start if 4E...

They have found that complaining and hate are a group bonding activity. A human hates something and is vocal about it. Other humans around them agree for the sake of group bonding. It is the pack mentality. This is what happened to the Germans and WW2. It is in most human's nature. I am grumpy...

Is derren one of those people who hates 4E, has no intention of getting 4E and will never change his mind about it, but for some reason keeps coming on forums complaining about every single aspect of it? I don't know that he is, but that's what it sounds like. If so, that really gets on my...

We don't know how you purchase racial abilties yet. They might come from a different buying pool than class abilities in the same way paragon abilities are bought separately from class abilties. So you might not have to trade off class stuff for racial stuff.

Solo adventures have to cater to one class, or perhaps just one role. A defender could survive a solo quite well without messing as long as the enemy is the right power - but defenders have a disadvantage against anything with a range so I would keep them out mostly. A leader really thrives...

If you have to have musical bards then for combat the instruments should be drum and horn. Thunder/sonic/force/fear effects. For charm the instrument should be flute like the pied piper or snake charmer. Any other instrument should be for roleplay only as they are stupid otherwise. The music...

I was thinking monsters should get powercards also. If you have a stat card for a monster on top and then have their powercards underneath overlapped but with the power names on the bottom of the cards so they can be seen and pulled out from under the stat card and discarded - unless it is a...

Hopefully they will include Basic Attack and Charge in any power cards they produce. They may not be amazing powers but essentially that is what they are: At Will.

Gnomes need solving. A solution for gnomes. A final solution. Oh, I don't like where that went. Oh screw them they're gnomes.

I would define it as such (personally) Extended Rest. * Sitting watch does not prevent rest effects and the time counts towards rest. * Characters must define a watch rotation for the purposes of a possible encounter. * Encounters will not ruin an Extended Rest as long as the characters can...

Believe it or not D&D is a roleplaying game. Setting camp, cooking that deer you killed earlier, who is on watch when a wild boar attacks, a character caring (Heal) for a sick character who needs total bed rest, etc is part of that. The Extended Rest just needs some rough guide lines to help...

In order to be 5 levels above the encounter would need to have 5 Gnolls (or the equivalent). Sorry, not being nitpickety, just illustrating how it was a fairly fair match.
