The Half-elf had stats that did not reflect elf nor human per say, which is why I went the way I did. I felt that the theme for these two races is just too similar - people between worlds who gain some of the perks from each, and the ability to transition between them. Con just doesn't feel...

it might be a great fantasy game, but it isn't DnD to me.

Inspired by the writeup of the 1/2 Elf, here's my 1/2 Orc: Vision: low-light Abilities: +2 Str +2 Wis Skill bonuses: +2 Insight, +2 Intimidation Tenacity: Select one extra feat at first level from any class, or human or orc. You must meet its other prereqs. Dual Heritage: Can take feats that...

The testing the build to 20 is good advice. I would definitely suggest making sure at level 1 that you know what feats and powers you will choose up to level 20. No need to stick to that list of course, but make sure you have a general list in mind, and then pick stats to fit it. And think out...

... I think he pretty much just meant what he wrote.

... I suggest re-examining your theory on Contract law there. I'm not fond of their pricing structure at all... but honestly... I just think that's foolish business planning. As for the delay... shrug. Hardly a violation of any notable legal duty I can spot. Oh, its been a number of years...

Lets hope the GSL has express terms defining explicitly what a 'product line' is. And also that this particular definition, once declared, cannot be altered by future alterations of the GSL.

If you listen to podcasts from some of their sites, its not very pleasant as to 4E and the GSL... I listened to some casts from Green Ronin interviewing themselves and Paizo, as well as a few podcasts linked on their sites, and I got the impression there were stronger plans to throw weight into...

having been a gamer since 1981, and mostly a GM through that period, I have a few hundred dice... And today I got 7 more. For the last few years I have exclusively used jumbo-sized dice for myself and left the rest in a bowl for the players. If I were given a new dice set gift, it would depend...

The only reasons I could imagine for this are: 1. The ink and paper are poor matches for each other. 2. The ink is not yet dry on your copy. This problem is common in printing - most people are familiar with it with newspapers. Would you say what is happening to you is similar to way a newspaper...

True, but it would lend weight to the FAQ - which at present seems to say the opposite of what I can find in the book, although that too is rather vague as its not clear on 2 points: 1. Are the proficiencies that come with a class even feats? 2. Is the prereqs for a feat only for training it, or...

Hmmm. So, nowhere in print though? FAQs are something I expect to get revised a few thousand times in the coming weeks. :) Hopefully we'll see a character in print that violates the prereqs, or I'll find a page on it.

My initial assumption: If a paladin or warrior wants to wear plate armor, she needs a 15 Con AND 15 Str, because that is the prereq for the feat. Where do you get that from? I read it the other way - on prereqs for feats it says that if you ever lose the prereq you can't use the feat anymore...

Where do you get that from? I read it the other way - on prereqs for feats it says that if you ever lose the prereq you can't use the feat anymore. Is there something that says a class that gets it can use it even without the prereq? I'd be very interested in finding that.

Keep in mind that a paladin, even a Cha based one, needs a Str and Con of 15 each (to wear plate). Half-elves thus end up using that Con bonus on Paladin very nicely: ex: 15 13 - 15 10 10 14 14 - 16

4E. Try playing a druid. Oh... wait...

DPS is a term known to any MMO player, if you play 4e DnD, you're an MMO player, so go learn the terms.

Tank != DPS. That's the first thing that divides ok from horrible players of warriors and paladins in MMOs, and now that DnD has made these classes defenders, it applies here as well. If you're trying to figure out which has maximized DPS, you've picked the wrong class. Switch to a Warlock or...

My first thought in looking at DnD was to make a paladin - they're the best tanks in WoW, where I play a prot paladin, and 4E seems to have decided they're one of the main tank options now for DnD, in addition to introducing 'tanking' to table top play with the aggro powers... But, if I were...

EDIT: Found the exact thread already existing on pg.2, bumping that one.
