I'm game - they look spiffy.

While this is true, it's still annoying to have to correct the character sheet/power cards created by the CB. I wish the CB was set up so that errata could be toggled on/off or so that powers could be customized before printing a character sheet.

You misunderstood what I wrote.

Your monsters are there to lose with style.

I have.

This would describe the games I have been involved with lately - it is even something I commented on in another thread awhile ago. For some reason the group I game with has switched from trying stuff that makes sense at the time and letting the DM adjudicate to only doing what their power cards...

More or less The Thing Dodgeball The Big Blue with the following swapping in an out for the top 3 depending on my mood L.A. Story Buckaroo Banzai Vanishing Point Mother, Juggs and Speed* *M, J & S is a comedy about competing ambulance services with Bill Cosby (Mother), Raquel Welch (Juggs)...

With one exception - no. The exception was a 3.5E druid played by someone who went to the Char-Op boards to find a build that would dominate play. He no longer games with us. I have run games in every edition to high levels (18+, except 4E - still in heroic, although the game i play in is in...

20 - and I think they are wrong on the pike/awl pike illustration. However, I have just started teaching my nephews D&D and have been showing them some previous edition books. They were pretty interested in all the polearms and I had just been looking at them in the past month.

My situation is different - we only game on Friday or Saturday nights or on Sunday ending before 7:00pm - because every other day we have to get up for work the next morning. The people I game with don't see the game as conflicting with other entertainments - it is just one of many we choose to...

How many is many? I think that may be what JW is getting at. I know that I haven't seen this problem and honestly, other than on message boards, hadn't heard of this being a problem. Message boards tend to be self selecting and people gravitate towards experiences that mirror their own. So you...

If this is directed at me - the character is 25th level and already has TWF and TWD - I'd have to retrain feats and replace items to get the other things suggested - it's really too late in the game to make these changes. Ultimately it all relates back to the OP in that the greater damage our...

Thanks for the suggestion - but the character already has it - I selected Superior Will (knowing it doesn't stack with Improved Defenses) to get the additional +1 bonus for the character's Will defense. I have been debating whether or not to retrain Improved Defenses for Superior Fortitude and...

I'll make note of this also. As for getting hit by one a lot - the character also has a ring of protection, which allows him to bump one defense up by 2 as an immediate reaction - I hardly ever get to use that - but, again I'll keep track of it. Sorry for the threadjack KD.

Well, like I said, I'm going to record how many times the PC gets missed. It sure seems like the PC never gets missed from anything but an attack directed at the Reflex Defense. Plus, other than getting a +6 neck slot item I can't get that Will defense up any higher. Right now the character has...

Well, I have been pretty mindful of improving my characters defenses. Level 25 Rogue with AC:39, Fort:40, Ref:43, Will:41 - and it seems to be really rare for him to be missed by an attack - I have been more successful in trying to find ways to just not be the target of the attack. However, this...

Our group is in mid epic levels now and were high paragon when the changes were made. Since the changes our group has been averaging about 2 encounters before the PCs need an extended rest. The new damage output has been brutal. The people I game with were never optimizers - the picked stuff...

I was just updating my user profile when I noticed the public profile page had been viewed by several other posters. I was wondering why someone would look at my profile - I don't post that much, and I don't remember seeing most of the people who checked out the page in any of the threads I have...

Hmmm - i didn't think that was what he was claiming, he posted "What this adds up to is a heavy mechanical leaning towards forcing players to take improved trip before even trying to trip anyone. The mechanics allow you to try it without the feat, but, make it such a bad idea, that no one...

Given that I said tripping came up often I didn't think I had to specifically say the NPCs tried to trip the PCs often enough - so - Opponents did it as often, if not more, than the PCs did - in fact it was incredibly useful for mooks to effectively give the big fighter types a -4 to attack or...
