So, um, now I wanna play a werewolf. With crinos form and all. How would you do that in D&D 4E? Please help, Barastrondo, you're my only hope!

Aw mang, don't tell me you've already forgotten that the plural of ninja is ninjae. This is a simple extension of that. But then noone ever listens to meeee

3E state is complicated by duration, and by the fact that the pre-combat buffing ritual could involve up to half a dozen spells (or more) at high levels. Furthermore, you then had the possibility of dispel magic removing a random subset of those buffs, thus forcing a recalculation mid-fight...

There certainly is a learning curve. It just happens to be one that works over multiple encounters. Furthermore, a multi-round duration would appear to have precious little to do with a learning curve, given that the duration is fixed once you cast the spell. Not much learning can take place, at...

It is not particularly complicated to handle these effects. You simply let the players do the bookkeeping for their own characters, rather than trying to keep track of everything yourself. As someone who has played to 13th level with 2 leaders in the group, this has not been an issue. The...

Ah, right. That's pretty nifty, then. :) (There's quite a few powers around to give extra saves and bonuses to saves.)

I think the idea behind the hospitaler is that it's usually very hard for a paladin to challenge more than one enemy. So this ability could lockdown one monster at most, leaving the rest free to whack the party. You happened to run into a situation where this wasn't an issue (only 2 monsters...

Would ordering from Amazon.com (not .co.uk) help? I've rarely had a problem with the US store, certainly not like what's happening in the UK. Okay, you have to pay and wait for delivery, but you'd probably still get the book faster.

So... what's so good about Destiny Inversion that it's a 10th level power? (Other than the shared suffering combo, that is.)

Hmm... Dungeons and Dragons... as a cartoon....

Right. In 4E, being able to understand all kinds of weird and wacky languages is not a "spell". It's a permanent ability. It just takes 10 minutes each day to refresh your memory. In that sense, it's kind of akin to at-will Mage Hand and Ghost Sound.

Aw d00d, now you're starting to sound like Hussar.

... is a false conclusion to draw from banning halflings. And low-Wis characters. And low-Wis players.

Ah, but this is (one reason) why you ban halflings.

Only if you believe that the true enjoyment of the game is to be found, not at the table itself, but talking about it afterwards.

Nonsense! This merely indicates that you are insufficiently practiced in chewing scenery. Remember, roleplaying is all about violence, angst and chewing scenery.

This may be true for you, but whether it is a generalisation that can be validly applied to the population at large is another matter. The most obvious interpretation of "fly Dex mod squares" is just that: you fly for Dex mod squares. At the end of that, you fall, if you're not on the ground...

You say this like it's a negative thing.

The solution to this is to ban low-Wis players. Oh, and characters too.

Ah. Enough about banning stuff. Let me now wax lyrical about the joy of banning players.
