    Guns in a fantasy setting

    I think you missed my point. I was saying that you can't just use damage and cost to balance the weapon because there are other factors (using the greatclub and falchion as examples), and you then pointed out the same type of factors I was already talking about. D&D can be high magic, but some...

    Guns in a fantasy setting

    According to that logic why should anyone use any weapon except a club? Looking at the 4th ed equipment list a great club is 2d4 and costs 1gp. Why would anyone use the Falchion which does the same damage for 25 times the cost. The reason is because there are other factors than base damage and...

    Guns in a fantasy setting

    What if I placed the same enchantments on said gun? It seems silly to say "Guns are useless since with magic enchantment I can make this awesome crossbow" since the guns would have access to the same magical alteration. In 4th ed, guns become even more possible since powers which key off of...

    4e vs Diablo III

    4th ed is as similar to Diablo 3 as any other edition would be. It is a fantasy game about killing monsters, usually through team work. Mechanically the two franchises have little else in common. D&D uses turn based tactical movement, where Diablo has a much more arcade esque real time combat...

    no one, since Louisiana seems to have fallen off the face of the earth.

    Creature Incarnations: Kobolds

    The best part of it to me is that the player has been my friend and fellow D&D player for the longest time, so he is rather jaded when it comes to goblins and kobolds as credible threats.

    Creature Incarnations: Kobolds

    Reminds me of the rogue's reaction to the first ambush in H1 when he got mobbed for running ahead. "...but...but... they're KOBOLDS for heaven's sake."

    Experience Point Weirdness: Is my math funny or theirs?

    May be intended since 11 and 21 kick off new tiers.

    The highest-damage fighter power is level 3?!

    After reading over it, I have to say that the intention is two attacks is normal, with the third attack being if you are wielding the correct weapon. Another thing to note is that the initial attack(s) must be against the same target while the weapon granted third attack can be against...

    For real this time: What is your stance on 4e

    Love it so much I am hoping to find someone who wants to buy some of my old 3e stuff.

    KM's Big Thread of Planescape Races

    Off the top of my head.... keep the name othersight and make it so they gain a +2 insight bonus to one roll on their next turn after they use their halo. Works well since the other specific planetouched type feats also add to the halo effect.

    D&D 4E 4e Unarmed Combat Weapons

    I like this ideas since the brawling knuckles allows the unarmed fighter to take advantage of the hammer based kicker effects. One thing to consider to make the two fist weapons have a greater difference is giving the knuckles +2 prof but make their damage 1d8 and keep the wraps as is (helps...

    [True/False] There is a point in every campaign when the PCs come to blows.

    When I ran a 3rd ed game for some friends in college every game session was a fight between the Human Samurai and the Halfling Rogue. Every session they would find something to fight about, and then during the week when we were on campus just hanging out the Samurai would take the antagonism of...

    KM's Big Thread of Planescape Races

    Just checked it out and really liked the way you rolled all the planetouched into one very thematic race. Only problem I could see is that you have a heroic feat granting darkvision. Considering how rare it is and that the base race doesn't even have low light vision, you may want to consider...

    4E books warped? Maybe it's the humidity?

    Just outside of Houma, Louisiana. Humidity is always on the ridiculous end of the spectrum and neither my core gift set nor my wife's PHB have been warped

    DM's Toolkit Program--NOW AVAILABLE!

    If I was messing around with the class editor, which we know is impossible since I was so emphatically refused, I would comment on how accessible everything was as well as my only confusion being the level and numbers section under the powers tab. On the monk sample it says zero even though...

    I have two concerns about 4th edition. Help me out.

    As others have said before on the boards 4th edition plays better than it reads for many people. For instance when I first started seeing powers I was worried that the play styles would not have enough variation between classes. This is no longer a fear of mine after running two sessions, since...

    Rogue Weapons - Possible Error

    This kinda came up in regards to the Wizard staff implement power. Basically when it say you must be wielding something, it means that you must be using it.

    Help me chose my 4E campaign world

    Sundered Skies has really reignited my interest in Savage Worlds, but with my group the only way I will get to really run it would be to convert to fourth.. that being said you may want to look into combining Sundered Skies and Spelljammer since they seem to have some similar elements.
