    D&D 4E When will 4E break?

    Acrobatics is usable untrained in SWSE--but the DC 15 check to avoid attacks of opportunity is a 'trained-only' use of the skill.

    confusing level 1 wizard dilemna

    I think looking at it in relative terms may be more beneficial to you than in absolute terms. This is a character class with d4 hit points, for an average of 2.5 hit points per level with a 10 Con, or 5.5 hit points per level with a 17 Con. That is huge! Barring toad familiars (eew!), Toughness...

    Have you seen/met any of these D&D "celebs"?

    I talked to Skip on the phone once ... does that count?

    D&D 4E 4E Order of the Stick

    Even if he then makes jokes about them being dragged off by the magical knights lawyers for the spooky wizard who lives by the coast ...

    What were your 2e houserules?

    Oh, yes, did everyone block that out of their memories? I don't recall that being optional, either. Every class had its own set of things that gave individual XP awards. Aside from being a pain to track & award, it was a DM nightmare for adventure design. If you didn't give out enough treasure...

    D&D 3.x Noob Help Building 3.5 Scout

    (Translation: we never thought of that when we were developing the class, and it's way overpowered.)

    and another thing...

    Now, what does this actually mean? A very good question ... But it's at least a reasonable position that a shadowdancer could pull off this sort of maneuver.

    Please call female deities 'goddesses.'

    But how, then, shall I refer to my wife? I wish to avoid confusion! (Especially since my wife could kill me and Sehanine with a single glance, no save. :uhoh: )

    Average of exploding dice?

    Although it's less intuitive to think about, the math is actually easier, cause you're always adding a number from one through five to a multiple of five, which is simple in our base ten counting system ...

    Invisibility and Spiritual Weapon

    You only have to direct it on the first round of the spell, though, unless you want it to change targets. So I'd suggest that unless you do this, the spell does not break an invisibility spell that's cast on a subsequent turn. One could conceivably even finesse this, as Summon Monster/Nature's...

    A theory on "morbiczer" and the "Races and Classes"

    You know ... I've been wondering about him for a long time. :D

    D&D 4E Realistic Strength and Carrying Capacity for 4E

    I don't think encumbrances were ever intended to be actual weights, but rather equivalences to compact & symmetrical weights. Eg. carrying a longsword on your hip is supposed to have approximately the same effect as carrying four pounds of coins in a balanced pack ...

    Oots #507

    The pause panel is just perfect. The dawning horror on the faces of the paladins, while Elan is clearly thinking, "What? Is something wrong?" Brilliant!

    Eight is Enough: How Many Classes?

    I believe that was more or less the explanation given very early on. Each class gets a significantly larger page count than in the past ... which limits the number of classes rather sharply.

    Adroit Flyby Attack... Huh?

    And that Adroit Flyby Attack only works with an attack action, if the wording above is accurate (I don't have the Draconomicon). Flyby Attack allows any standard action (eg. casting a spell).

    Best 9th level spell for a sorcerer

    That was for a wizard, though. Numbers 3 and 4 were Wish and Mordenkainen's Disjunction, neither of which make as much sense as the only spell for a Sorcerer as Shades does, even though that was way down the list. And while Time Stop is awfully good, I'd have to go with Shapechange for a...
