    I have the Caverns of Icewind Dale tile set

    There's actually a thread with pics in the General RPG forum: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/299262-caverns-icewind-dale-dungeon-tiles-revealed.html I plan on getting 2 sets of this, probably together with Heroes of Shadow in April.

    Ampersand: 2011 releases officially gutted

    There is a bright side. Can't you see? Fewer books = less errata. :angel: Please don't kill me.

    Character Builder WTFs per minute

    I meant a workaround to print them without having to deal with up to 1 GB spool sizes. Printing to pdf at 144 dpi takes up less space (for both the spool file and the character sheet), but you still can't edit the text. Exporting them to your hard drive doesn't help with that. (It helps with...

    Character Builder WTFs per minute

    Yes, Silverlight prints to bmp format only unless you've got some kind of workaround. (See also this thread, which contains this link to the official Silverlight forum.) The actual character data (xml format) should be around 50-100 kB.

    Another delayed WotC item

    On the one hand the delays save me quite some money in the short run. On the other hand I can't really satisfy my collector's urge. Just two Gamma World expansions to bridge the D&D gap? That doesn't cut it. MUST. BUY. MORE. ;) :) But please, WotC, don't delay Wrath of Ashardalon again. That...

    spearing a ship until it sinks

    The vehicle stats in AV have bugged me for some time, actually. Mostly the abysmal AC/Ref defenses and lack of ship weapons. Let's try the homebrew approach. Some ideas how I might rule it: 1) Increasing vehicle defenses Add 10 to AC. If the vehicle is moving, also add the pilot's level to AC...

    spearing a ship until it sinks

    Kobold archers aren't a threat to a ship. Kobold archers with flaming arrows, on the other hand, are a threat. ;-)

    Obsolete Feats

    Alright, I've finished my list of obsolete feats so far. I've probably missed a few, so if you come across an obsolete feat that's not on the list, please post it here.

    Obsolete Feats

    You're talking about niche/situational feats, but the OP looks for obsolete feats. I don't disagree that there are a lot of highly situational feats (or ones with "fiddly bonuses", as some call them). Evaluating these feats, however, is rather subjective and also dependent on character builds...

    Obsolete Feats

    It's not my preference either, just an option. My thief likes to stay out of melee for the most part. Shortbow sniping from 5 squares away is fun. :D

    Obsolete Feats

    You're right, FotB is actually worthwhile if you're using Feinting Trick and meet the requirements (rapier use). However, you're missing +2 to hit when you should be getting CA reliably with Ambush Trick and Tactical Trick, so it's very situational IMO. It is an option if you want to have all...

    D&D 4E [4E] Barbarian build advice?

    I don't see how you can SA with a waraxe, unless you happen to be a dwarf with the Tunnel Stalker feat, or am I missing something? (SA requires a light blade, hand crossbow, short bow, or sling.)

    Obsolete Feats

    Sorry for being a bit late to the thread, but here's a small list of obsolete feats for the OP. Additions and corrections are welcome. :) Format used is: Old Feat -> New Feat Agile Stand (MP2) -> Spring Step (PH3) Armored Endurance Training (MP2) -> Armor Finesse (PE1) Armored Swiftness...

    I hate reach and attacks of opportunity (old thread)

    2E has rules for reach and attacks of opportunity in Combat & Tactics. /nitpick

    I hate reach and attacks of opportunity (old thread)

    It's been almost 6 years. Thread necromancy at its finest worst. :eek:

    Optimizing my Dragonborn Thaneborn Barbarian

    This. I've seen a Str/Cha Thaneborn in hide armor at Level 8, and it's not pretty. Get Con 13 and go for heavy armor, and consider taking Heavy Armor Agility (from the Heroes of X books) to make up for reduced mobility. I'd probably make him an axe user as well, the axe feats need less Con than...

    What Hooked You into the Genre?

    For fantasy, it was my older brother's copy of The Hobbit in the mid-80s, followed a few years later by the Pool of Radiance and Ultima V CRPGs on the C64. For science fiction, it was the German Mark Brandis series of novels. I think the Captain Future animated series came next, together with...
