If wizard's don't have to deal with ASF anymore, and can take feats to focus on their melee skills, what's the point of the swordmage? I'd really hate to see 4e churn out dozens of base classes like we saw in 3.5e.

Regarding the latest WotC podcast: One thing that struck me like a brick in the face was when James Wyatt was talking about the Briarwitch Dryad and how it used its tree stride ability to travel up to 10 SQUARES. Not up to 50 FEET. If that statement is any indication, it seems like squares...

FWIW, I don't tell people I game with that I own every core book. I tell them that I own every non-setting specific WotC book. Why not change the name of the PHBII and DMGII to something less confusing for new players? I know this name has a bit of baggage, but it makes more sense to call the...

The Wheel weaves as The Wheel wills. The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. Rest assured James Oliver Rigney, Jr. will never be forgotten.

One thing I mentioned while talking with Sara Girard after the Ennies was to include a location search. While this may seem unimportant at first, because the VTT will allow you to play with anyone, anywhere, it'd be great to find people not only in the same time zone, but within a reasonable...

Exactly. I also use a house rule where different materials also act as though they are a certain "+" bonus. It makes it a lot easier than trying to recalculate Monster's DR. Now, when you fight something with DR 25/Magic, it actually means something! I can't wait to see how 4e does DR.

Here's my house rule: A +1 weapon will overcome up to 5 points from DR /Magic. A +2 weapon will overcome up to 10 points of DR /Magic. (+3: 15, +4: 20, +5: 25) A creature with DR X/Magic, will overcome up to DR X/Magic. For example: +1 Weapon vs. DR 10/Magic - 5 points of damage is ignored...

You didn't win ANY of the auctions?? Now I feel bad about taking the Monte Cook auction from you. :(

Only two auctions left!!

They just keep coming! :D

Not at the moment it's not. :]

When you look at it that way, it seems to read in favor of the duskblade. I still have a problem though, and I know it's never good to try to compare D&D "fyziks" with real world physics, but being an engineer, I can't help it... Maybe I'll just tell my head that it turns the duskblade's sword...

Well the on-the-spot ruling was that it didn't, since shocking grasp gets that bonus during a "touch" attack and the duskblade is making a "melee" attack. We were thinking that if he just tried to touch the guy with the sword, then he'd get +3, but since he was trying to make a melee attack and...

So last night our 3rd level duskblade wanted to use arcane channeling to hit the BBEG wearing breastplate with shocking grasp. The question is, does he gain the +3 bonus for the BBEG wearing metal armor? A side question; If the attack misses, does the spell stay "charged" in the weapon a la...

I live near Big Beaver Road in Michigan, which also happens to be exit 69. :lol:

I use the GameMastery Item Cards and my players love them! When they kill something relatively important, I hand them a sealed envelope. Inside is a bunch of unidentified goodness. The production value is outstanding, and given that each card only has a description of what it looks like, the...

Weakest Specialty Wizard of 5th level that's multiclassed? Half-Orc Enchanter 2/Sorcerer 3 Racial Penalties to both casting stats. Only 1st level spells available, and you wouldn't be very good at convincing charmed people to do anything. Another option might be Enchanter 2/Bard 3 for the...

A story I read when I was a kid, was (I believe) On The Devil's Court. I think it even references Faust (edit: thinking back, I think the kid was reading it for school at the time). Basically the kid makes a deal to become an amazing basketball player. Sounds silly, but really engaged me in...
