That is the closest we'll get till the PH comes out. And it makes sense in the long run. The number of times you can use a class ability is based upon your class level, while things such a spell resistance, the strength of spells, etc., would be based upon character level. And as people have...

Just a snag from Salvatore's site: The Orc King: Transitions, Book One R.A. Salvatore. Wizards of the Coast, $27.95 (352p) ISBN 978-0-7869-4340-1 Celebrating his 20th year as one of Salvatore's most popular Forgotten Realms characters, dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden whirls into action in this first...

And by the way... ...I was reading this on the Wizards' site relating to The Orc King book: "An uneasy peace between the dwarves of Mithral Hall and the orcs of the newly established Kingdom of Many-Arrows can't last long. The orc tribes united under Obould begin to fight each other, and...

Hmmm..... It's most definitely pure speculation. But if the cities of the North were depopulated it certainly isn't the first time. On the plus side, think of it this way. If there is a 100-year jump then it safely allows current gamers to do what they want without..and be independent of the...

1) "Halfsies" are a good way to play something in-between. Yes, the broad characterizations about their history (especially half-elves) suck, but that can be ignored. 2) Nothing wrong with them. If they're in the PHB, don't use 'em. Unless the section on half-elves and half-orcs take up more...

What about the idea of 'gestalt' characters? (ala Unearthed Arcana) They said that in 4e a multiclassed fighter/wizard won't be a 'crappy fighter and a crappy wizard'. Perhaps a tweaked version of gestaltism is what they have in mind. Maybe. And since their idea has been for every character's...

1) I like the idea of temporary level-draining. It can temporarily weaken the character (so it remains an important factor in combat) without unduly punishing them. Let gods (and their aspects) have the power to do so on a permanent basis. 2) I also like the idea of making raising/ressurrection...

Gnomes should be brought in more as true cousins of the dwarves. Very little in D&D highlights that. And with that being said, gnomes can go either way in the 4ePHB. With the bard class likely being left for a future supplement book (possibly even as a PrC, hopefully), they can go back to being...

Yes, bards as a PrC! I liked it like that in 1E, and frankly by making bards a PrC in 4e (almost as shown in Unearthed Arcana) would be a step up...

I'd just as soon get rid of d4's altogether and give most spellcasters d6 bu that's another thread altogether.

Ha, sounds like me. When in doubt, don't buy.

Hmm I wouldn't mind the loss of heavy armor, that would make the fighter look a little better in the process. Clerics don't necessarily need it anyway (IMHO), if they want to go 'templar' they could take a level of Fighter or join a prestige class with that flavor. No harm there. But giving...

That's something closer to what I'd want to do in most cases, including certain templates. I'm not a fan of going through monster levels before getting to take class levels.

Night Below. And I'm still not done reconverting it to 3.5...

Elaine Cunningham's good, although the Magehound trilogy wasn't my cup of tea. Richard Baker's good, so is Mel Odom. Salvatore still has his moments, although the continuing effort to de-superfy Drizzt (while laudable) doesn't do much for me. I don't worship at the Altar of Ed but he's also had...

Got a few written during 1e/2e (mostly elven and cleric-related), then laid off a long time. But if you notice an article on wizardly feats, oh, sometime in the late Fall (#325?), then it could be mine. :)

had to ask, I moved down here 2 months ago and the last time I tried an address found online I found no such store...Of course, if I was bright I would've tried calling first. :P Truly, I'm looking for a decent store that hopefully stays open till 7. Perhaps with a decent comic selection?

Still waiting for mine.

I did a paper on this in college. James Dallas Egbert III was a young genius type who operated on a level that even his teachers had trouble comprehending. Gaming was his only real way to connect with other people. As far as personal D&D stories go, I remember my gamer friend coming to school...

Pros: you subscribe you're getting the issues at discount and they'll be delivered so you don't have to trot down to the store. Cons: Your copy can arrive later than the same issue delivered to stores (at least it has been lately), also Mr. Fat-Fingered Mailman can mess things up by bending...
