That's one of the things I've noticed, too. The rules I've seen, it's either guns = useless or guns = magic wands of super-death that auto-kill anyone you shoot with them. Both are patently silly. If they were useless, we'd all be using swords and crossbows. And if they were magic wands of...

I thought Jennifer Connelly was more believable as a scientist. Also, I think she's vastly hotter. Brad

We had a steampunkish Planescape game where guns up to repeating cartridge rifles were available. Amazingly, nobody used them. Why? They weren't worth the effort after like 4th level. The characters I remember were either strength-types (my kensei anthro-tiger or the Dr00dzilla) or casters...

SHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! You're interwebbing wrong! ;-) Brad

Given that 4e bows go, what, 200ish feet? No need to do anything but give them, say +2 Acc d6/d8/d10 damage to taste 20/40 range increment And you're good. Only decision is whether they're simple, military, or superior. Brad

Honestly, I think Dragon is, if anything, an improvement over the Dungeon-adjunct it had become under Paizo. Admittedly, I'm a player-only, and thus not the Dungeon target audience, but I dropped my print subscription after it ran out during Paizo's tenure. There weren't any articles that were...

Group comprises 8 total people in two groups. 7 subscribe to DDI. To the best of my knowledge, none do it month-to-month. 2 of the subscribers are DMs. 6 people play only, of whom 5 subscribe (# 6 uses his roommate's account) We have one who is DDI-only. The rest buy books and use DDI as...

I've seen it played this way, where you go from adventure to adventure without any downtime in between. Where you don't even have time to spend any money or craft items or do anything that takes a significant amount of time. I've had some games like that myself. Brad

At some point, he'll need a chest compartment and vast quantities of alcohol, especially if he likes to say "Destroy all humans!" Brad

It sounds like, from admittedly this very brief look, that the runepriest is going to be more of a buffer leader than a healer leader. I am looking forward to it, but we'll see if I'll switch my minotaur battle cleric to a runepriest. Brad

Man, my group would be locked up in solitary for weeks if we were in jail and a guard heard our table chatter. Brad

Let me just emphasize the importance of Focus Fire; taking down one monster instead of bloodying two means that there's one less source of damage and conditions and irritation, so things go that much faster. Also, encourage the players to think about what they're going to do during other turns...

Personally, I don't think it counts. The wording for Radiant is "damage done by this weapon," which I would interpret as weapon damage, or requiring the power to say Weapon as a keyword and have a [W] in the damage line. Now, if he really wants to do Radiant damage with his Scorching Burst, he...

Previous explanations include a primitive form of bellows, as well as a sophisticated mouthpiece that seals the lizard's lipless mouth and enable them to blow. Though farting is also a good explanation. Brad

While they never needed Int before 3rd edition, 3rd *is* the most recent edition, so it certainly doesn't hurt. OTOH, mechanically it kind of blows, as if they're raising Int to be a secondary stat, it competes with their primary stat for Reflex and AC. Though it's not like they let that stop...

Which do y'all think is better to replace my 5.5 year-old regular cell phone with? I like the idea of the keyboard on the Droid, because I can't stand trying to type on a touchscreen with my non-tiny fingers. OTOH, the Droid feels cheap, the plans appear to be more expensive than the iPhone...

Well, the thing is you're using an exceedingly generous definition. Chairs and tables and such typically don't grant Superior Cover or Total Concealment. NOW, she should be using utilities and such. But re-hiding in combat is, especially after PH2 updates, pretty hard to do. Brad

Yeah, I'd think the rogue should be doing more damage. Sneak attacking every other round (doing the move/hide thing) likely keeps her damage lower than it would be for a more aggressive melee rogue. Brad

He does get to sleep most books, often several times, so he does get to take extended rests. Now, he doesn't necessarily get them when he'd want, but hey, them's the breaks. Brad

If nothing else, sprinkle the setting with quite a few snake cults, using the "At first, everyone thought they were just another snake cult..." line from the movie as justification. :) Brad
