    D&D 4E Arcane Spell Failure in 4E

    Presuming that the SWSE save mechanic transfers to 4E, then arcane casters may suffer their armor's ACP to their rolls versus their target's defense.

    Mithral work

    Elven chain has a total ACP of -2; so I think the masterwork bonus is already included.

    Amazon drops PHB price to $19.77

    Not necessarily. IME with Amazon, they claim to hold combined orders with SS free shipping until all items are available, but they always seem to end up shipping the items individually anyway. I just received my Eberron DM's screen that I'd ordered to fill out that $25 minimum, and the M&M...

    Playtesting?

    I dunno, but I can well imagine the complaints you're going to get from them when they find out that 'playtest' has nothing to do with the magazine Hugh Hefner publishes ...

    No full attack option?

    Yep, that's exactly correct ... Obviously, this is unbalanced with some of the things that you can do with swift actions in D&D 3.5 . I'm willing to assume that the D&D 4 developers are well aware of that. :)

    Playtest analysis

    Warforged, very doubtful. Dunno about eladrin ... Remember, we have very long cycles involved here. While the 4E PHB rules are mostly set (although playtesting continues), there's a PHB2 and Eberron campaign setting already tentatively scheduled for summer '09, for which playtesting must be in...

    Druids and Multiattack

    That is, indeed the question: do you qualify for feats based on abilities that you have only some of the time? I was able to convince my DM that I qualified for Multiattack for my shapeshifting druid (PHB2 alternate wildshape rules) on the grounds that it's an 'at will' ability. But you have to...

    Longlasting but cheap darkvision..?

    Um ... continual light? :lol: Seriously, though, why does everybody need darkvision? If it's just tactical, keeping the light sources from giving your position away, then I'd invest in some potions of darkvision and make sure you have some good scouts that can tell you when to douse the lights &...

    D&D 3.x Good, plain old 3.5 character sheets!

    No prob. I wish I knew where it came from--I'm sure my little bit of free webspace will hit its bandwidth limit before too much longer ... I know I saw it one the web somewhere once upon a time, but I got this copy from our group's private campaign wiki.

    WOTC Forums Locked - Any Ideas?

    I think all of the fora have been migrated to Gleemax.

    Giant Spider Web in Texas

    Yeah, my cats have enjoyed tangling with those since we moved to Texas. I think they're in favor--mice have never really made a full meal for them, but they don't seem to be able to finish these Texas-sized cockroaches, 'cause I keep finding their leftovers. :\ I can see the new tourism...

    Druid spells are called...?

    Atomic physics/p-chem. Has to do with the number of available sites for chemical bonds. Valence theory has been subsumed/explained by the notion of orbitals in quantum physics.

    D&D 3.x Good, plain old 3.5 character sheets!

    Yes, but those are regular PDFs--you can't edit them without Acrobat. The one I linked is a PDF form, where you can enter your character's data into the file ...

    D&D 3.x Good, plain old 3.5 character sheets!

    I've posted a copy of the PDF sheet our group is currently using. It's pretty small & bare-bones, and has a few form fields that update based on other fields. The downside is that you can't save your form entries with Adobe's free Acrobat Reader that every has as the default to view PDFs. So...

    Quick question on Wildshape and +Con

    I think that interpreting the Alternate Form ability to imply that other sources of Con changes no longer impact hit points is even more tortured than the interpretation that Ray of Enfeeblement taking your effective Strength down to 1 makes you immune to Strength damage from other sources...

    Little Known Rules of D&D

    It's a variant rule, but it is in a core book ... DMG pg. 28.

    More pure speculation- "The math is different"

    I already use that as a house rule, so that won't be a problem.

    D&D 3.x 3e/4e as Operating Systems: An Argument for Grognardism

    Skills?

    Because if there are never any walls that are DC 30 Climb checks, then nobody ever will spend those ranks to get to that level of expertise. In general, a 20th-level Rogue with 15 ranks in 15 skills will virtually always out-Rogue the 20th-level Rogue with 23 ranks in 10 skills; because the...

    Abdurant champion and mage armour?

    PHB pg. 58 "When your character attains a new level, make these changes: 1. Choose Class ... 7. Feats."
