I recently got a bit of a raise due to a promotion and I am doing my best to support my FLGS, so I'm getting them there and not at Amazon. I choose not to download the PDFs because my job is in law enforcement (though internet crimes are not really my specific jursdiction) and it would be very...

I'm the Police Chief of a small to mid sized city in central Kentucky. My salary is open record as I am a public employee. Our local newspaper prints all the local government employees payrates at least once per year(around budget time) anyway. I've been with the department for 13 years, and...

Another "not yet" vote here. I got a bit of a raise with a promotion this year and I'm going to buy from my FLGS because I can finally afford to do so.

Thanks for the replies. I can't wait to ge the core rules so I can get a more full understanding of the way the system works. The "Dex based Rogue powers" makes sense to me. I guess I should stop trying to figure out the whole system from the snapshot of the rules in the quick start guide...

I'm looking over the quick start rules and the pre-gens in preperation for playing through KotS on Saturday. The Halfling's attack powers all seem to have either +8 vs AC and (x)d4+4 as damage with the exception of "Sly Flourish", which is +8 vs AC 1d4+7 for damage. The way I'm looking at the...

Thanks for the quick response! I guess I would have called it wrong. That's why it's nice to have a place like this to get some direction. :)

OK, sorry if this has been asked, but I didn't see it down thread. I just got KotS, and I have read the quick start rules and the pre-gen characters. I am not reading the adventure because I'm playing through it this Saturday :) I noticed that the dwarf fighter has the ability to knock an...

The smallest thing I could find in my 2E MM was the Atomie at "less than 1' tall". It's a sprite, and I found it on page 328 of the Monstrous Manual. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the replies. I'm glad to hear that Greyhawk will be an official part of 4E. That reaffirms my decision to switch to the new system.

Ok, I've been away from D&D for about 8 months (new job duties). I started considering 4E a few months ago, and very recently I was convinced to adopt the new system. I spoke to some fellow gamers in my area, and it looks like 4E will be the primary RPG at my FLGS. I also got a look at KotS...

I'm sure the answer to this is "we won't know until the rulebooks are released", but does 1 for 1 diagonal movement mean that my Steelsqwire templates will be obsolete? I never minded the 1,2,1,2 diagonal movement in 3.X I guess. I was used to tabletop wargaming where everything was measured...

Welcome to the boards. :) You'll get a lot of good advice here, but it's hard to say what I'd have done without being in the situation myself. It sounds like you suffered in silence longer than I would have. IMO a campaign is a cooperative venture, and everyone should be getting some...

It's going to be a looooong 4 months...

I am a police officer in real life, and you are 100% correct on the proceedure. In my area the non-evidence items except weapons are usually held at the jail until the suspect is released on bond, or at the end of a sentence. Any weapons are held at the police station until a judge orders them...

I don't want to derail the thread, and I'm no C&C expert, but I think I can give an answer to this. I'm not saying one system is better than the other. Just trying to answer the question. C&C uses the Siege Engine mechanic and that allows you to try almost any action with a check against a...

You were too late to save me! You posted after I went to the Dragonlance movie site and clicked on the trailer. :( The horror...the horror.... :eek:

I see what your saying here, and I agree in some respects. It has been my experience though, that if something is included in the "core" rules it is more difficult to convince players that they can't use it in your campaign. It's a little like a judge directing a jury to disregard testimony...

Yuan ti? Grung? Ingundi?

As a DM I used to avoid designing encounters that had effects that would "remove" a player from the game. My gaming groups were always small and played infrequently, so I tried to keep the players engaged as much as possible. I also saw the game as entertainment for my group, so I tried to...

I can't speak to the actions of the other characters, but Parkman behaved in a totally believable manner to me. As a police officer armed with a handgun he saw Sylar killing Peter. His training and instinct would be to "stop the threat". He tried to do that by firing at Sylar just like he has...
