Fair enough. If it had been me, I would've wanted my first public unveiling of 4E in action to be as utterly flawless as possible. But, I'm known amongst my cohorts as being the guy with the often unreasonable expectations. But yeah, minimizing the eratta needed for Core Rules I definitely...

Well, if you haven't noticed, the default message is pretty much, "Oi!! We're so BUSY!!! We don't have time to do EVERYTHING!!" That generally seems to be the blanket response for any "oopsie" that gets noticed by the "public." Not that this isn't a legitimate reason for things not getting done...

Well. Not sure if the above was intended as a very sly put-down, but I can say that a lot of the Simulationist folks also seem to be into resource management more than the others. I think it's the sheer excitement of puzzling out how to make something happen despite self-imposed limitations.

Y'know. It might be nice to have a single place where important supplementary materials that's going to be in the MM and the DMG is listed. A lot of the 3E vs. 4E arguments lately have been boiling down to "I don't like that I'm going to have to run my game in the following manner . . ." being...

Oh right. They're different levels. Durr.

I would assume that they're using some sort of ability score array and assigning the numbers in a manner that fits the creature's "role." Then they add the racial modifiers. Can't quite figure why they have different modifiers for the same Charisma score. That implies either an "error" or...

Heh heh. I *heart* Ted Stevens.

They don't want anyone peeping in from the Intertubes . . .

The kicker makes a lot of sense and can be "derived" if you're going about balancing in the way I think the 4E team is. I'd hardly call it an innovation in any sense of the word regardless of which game or era you're talking about. It's really more of a, "no duh!"

I was an Aggie for about six months. In grad school but ended up not really liking the department. I always hoped I'd get a chance to play in Jester's epic level game . . . alas, it shall never happen now. :(

So the level on the mini's side doesn't match the level on the 4e side? That's really weird.

I suspect the card is a fake.

I was PM'ing a mod back around the 1st of February. So, unless one of them snuck into my account and changed something, I'm pretty sure PM's are still enabled. If you tried to send me a PM and failed, it's either because (as Zinovia said) you aren't a "community supporter" or because I put you...

Oi. It's a matter of semantics. Marking technically is something that only the Fighter and the Paladin using Divine Challenge do. However, the Ranger has his Quarry and the Warlock has her Curse. While these class abilities operate with different mechanics to different ends, there's a large...

No no. They'll just firesquare every space that's hidden from sight before they cross the bridge.

In my homebrew, Haflings grant a +1 luck bonus to attacks, saves, skill checks and ability checks to all allies within a certain range. I vastly simplified "figuring" that needed to be done by simply making the radius so large (120') that pretty much the only way to lose the bonus was to...

Ugh Ugh Ugh. I'm not a troll. I am concerned though, that's true. I don't appreciate yet another passive aggressive attempt on your part to put me down, particularly when I then discover that you don't accept PM's. So much for trying to find out what your deal is without more thread pollution...

I think it could go either way and we won't really know until lot's of people start playing the game. The argument that "marks will be easier to track because they do cool stuff" certainly seems to make sense, but there were lot's of "cool stuff" in 3E that were still hard to track from round to...

I don't think you have to be a card carrying member of the Simulationist Party to think character's being able to use their marking ability on their allies to remove enemy marks is a little wonky, even without any attempts to justify it. I suppose it makes sense, in the same way that it totally...

So then there'll have to be rules that explicitly disallow demarking an ally with a slap of your hand? Or is this one of the tactical options PC's will have at their disposal during an encounter? Or is this one of those "so in violation of the spirit of the rules that all reasonable DM's will...
