Thanks, but I'll wait and see what happens...as for now, I use a pretty good excel sheet I nabbed online, and customized it myself. It's not perfect, but it works well. It just takes oodles of time to make complex npcs with prestige classes or templates. I'm too lazy to switch elsewhere now...

I doubt I will be able to stay away from at least buying the PHB. Based on how that is, our group will decide what to do. Mainly, I'm just voicing my opinion about what I've heard so far about the (lack of a useful) character generator. It sounds like WotC is pandering more to the online...

While this is good news that I wasn't aware of...it still doesn't solve the problem of me spending X amount of dollars per month to play a game I've already bought. WotC...charge me X amount of dollars for a character generator (and you figure how much that should be, which includes maintenance...

Um, maybe because I want a GOOD generator that is updated without ME having to spend hours upon hours of doing it myself? I use an excel spread sheet I found online, and I'm quite good at excel...but I don't WANT to spend this time. I want to spend my money on a generator and use that...

This is true (as far as I can tell) ONLY if you subscribe to D&DI AND also buy e-books. I have a big problem with paying a monthly fee to play a game that I've already purchased (that's one reason why I don't pay online games). I don't see what's so complex about giving players like myself an...

What do you mean? How can character creation benefit from software if it's following the same rules that are in the book?

I'd love a link if I'm off base here...from what I've gleaned, only the core rules will be available to non-monthly-paying folks. For those of us who buy supplements, we are out of luck. So, basically if you do not pay the monthly fee for D&DI, you will only be able to generate characters...

From what I can tell, 4E overall looks very promising. Having said that, I wish I could pay a one-time fee for a GOOD character generator that actually works. I do not want to pay a monthly fee to play D&D and do not care about online stuff. I do not want to buy ebooks either. I would also...

The enhancement bonus of the weapon is either +1 or +5. Bane simply increases the enhancement by +2 vs. undead. The source of the enhancement doesn't matter.

Yes, you are. You're still trying to knock your opponent out as fast as possible, but the damage is non-lethal...you're just not trying to KILL your opponent. That's certainly your call to make, especially if you are DM, but I disagree. And you are fine as long as you are attacking in melee...

Yes, if you actually hit the AC of your comrade. Crits are a random act of unkindness, not something you do on purpose. Even if you are trying to dish out non-lethal damage, in general, you are always trying your best to deal your opponent the most damage possible. I mean, you're fighting for...

Good point. I guess I missed that one.

Table 8-6, PHB pg. 151. Roll randomly to determine which grappling combatant you strike. This works if you are attacking melee OR ranged. It's not a good idea to hit a creature that has your buddy. The defender loses dex bonus to AC, so you could also sneak attack your buddy. You can't go...

3 words: Wish or Miracle.

It doesn't last for 1 round. It lasts either until the start of your next turn OR until one of your allies strikes it, whichever comes first. So, only 1 ally can get this bonus, and it's only for 1 attack (not a full attack). Still, it's a pretty nice help for the rogue.

I wouldn't (and won't) use disjunction either. I will have a similar issue in MANY levels as well, although I have a party of 7. I suggest not fighting them alone. It doesn't matter how powerful she is if they get initiative and do 300+ damage on her. So, you have to figure out how to...

With regards to your 2nd point, just because it's a better (or, to be more precise, more powerful) feat than most (possibly all) other feats when it becomes available, it does not mean it's broken. Inexperienced players are "punished" (if you really want to call it that) by having 40 or 50...

I've only read through it once, so maybe I missed it. In any case, if you're the DM, it doesn't really matter, now does it? ;)

Well, you have to be undead, for one, which I don't like. I'm houseruling against that restriction. I think you get +1 caster level for nec. spells. Sorry, I'm too lazy and sleepy for anymore info.
