Hey, an invite :lol: I've played 4E since its release - in fact we played a game tonight. Our characters are 17th level - not yet epic, but getting close. IME to date, combats are taking longer & longer. Tonight we had 2 encounters in a 4-1/2 hour session. Of that 4-1/2 hours 1/2 hour was...

Does any one know if this is written up somewhere? I find it an interesting solution to a problem I'm having in a game I run right now and if someone else has done all the work I'd like to see it.

I find that giving unhelpful or bad tactical advice to my friends to be the most fun. :lol: However, I'm not sure doing anything other than just paying attention and making sure you know what you are going to do on your own turn - including looking up any needed rule - would be helpful. In fact...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I ended up using the Dark Creature template from the Tome of Magic on a human. We played last night and the Extra movement, Hide in Plain Sight, and Darkvision really worked well. So now we have an Aasimar Artificer Catfolk Ranger/Rogue Goliath...

Where is the winged template? Aasimar and Hobgoblin are possibilities.

LA+1 templates are ok but psionics are out - the DM had one too many bad experiences with them. I'll check out the handbook. Right now Poison Dusk Lizardfolk is looking interesting as is the Uldra - both from a "these would be cool to play" point of view - which is the whole point of us trying...

Thanks everyone. Planar Shepherd looks interesting - but which plane in Eberron would be coolest, I have some reading to do. Where is the half fey template located at - that sounds interesting. Actually Animorphic bat sounds fun also - I can name him Bruce.

Howdy all, One of my gaming groups is starting over after a TPK. We've decided to all play LA+1 races (or a LA+1 template) and I'm going to be playing a druid. This will be the first time I've been in a game where LA+1 races/templates ere allowed so I'm looking for suggestions/recommendations...

I'm playing tonight and we're going against what we believe will be the BBEG. I can try to track how we are hitting - We're 16th going on 17th level. The feeling I have been getting is that we are hitting less often, and that my striker (rogue / daggermaster) hits significantly more often than...

Unfortunately my google-fu is weak. All I have been able to find is generalized statements that THW + PA is better than TWF. Oh well.:erm:

Did/Do you feel that way? I definitely agree that Power Attack and a BHS is easier. I was just running some numbers and (before factoring in power attack) the results I got showed that TWF with two short swords did ~50% more damage against a given AC than using a greatsword. So I'm questioning...

I have been very happy with my purchase of the Trailblazer PDF (and am going to purchase the print version - cause I like books). As soon as my Pathfinder campaign is complete I'm going to try a Trailblazer campaign. Right now I am adopting the Trailblazer iterative attacks fix for my...

All the time, now. I am running one game and playing in 2 others so no longer have the time to do everything from scratch. Its saves time to find something that fits the campaign and re-skin as needed.

I used to enjoy playing more than DMing and typically ran one game and played in one or more other games. More recently I have had long stretches of being either a player or the DM. When I'm DMing I have found that I get a lot of fun by running a game that I would like to play in and seeing...

Can the mods find out if the poll was skewed by a single poster, and if so by who?

Considering the 4E poll has the same 3 numbers 500, 250, 126 - it appears someone skewed both polls. Considering how calm the two threads have really been, I'm not sure why someone would take the time to do so.

Not if the diagram text were changed to say the ogre takes a penalty from cover because the lines go through the border of the wall - and notes its the same for ranged attacks. It doesn't matter if the square is void. I really doubt you would have this type of argument if your map had a stone...

But even with a thin wall jutting out you would be drawing a line through the square behind it - so you aren't just drawing a line through the border. I already know how I'm going to deal with the situation. I would like the Paizo people to clarify what they mean so I don't have this discussion...

It also creates a strange case where an opponent in the adjacent diagonal square can shoot around the corner with no penalty and with no risk of an AoO, but you can't make a melee attack back at them without the penalty. We originally (3E) went center to center, then after the MHB came out, the...

Thanks for the heads up on partial cover - hadn't seen that. As for the ogre example - I understand it picks one corner to determine cover from. However, in the diagram on page 194, if you select any of the top corners of the ogre's occupied squares, lines from those corners go through the...
