    WotBS WotBS #5 - Dumb NPCs

    I'm on WotBS #7 now, so it's a bit late for this, but in #5 and elsewhere, I've noticed some NPCs were just... plain dumb. Caela in #5 is a good example. I can't figure out her motivation for trying to piss off the party so that they go to the forbidden valley and kill her - it just seems...

    Accidental Sales Pitches

    Now, I run 3e D&D and quite enjoy running it. But, sometimes you just end up doing something that's 100% totally a sales pitch for a different game, and I ran into one of those during the session I GMed on Friday: <Player> "I cast Dispel Magic on the Solei Palancis Dreadnought." <Me> "Um...

    Tome of Secrets - Artificer Issues

    (This might be better served on the Paizo forums, but honestly I don't really like them and don't have an account.) So, I really like the Tome of Secrets Artificer, except for how its main ability, the weird science inventions, works. (Or, uh, apparently doesn't.) While you're certainly...

    Forked Thread: Disappointed in 4e: "Reads Bad, Plays Good"

    Forked from: Disappointed in 4e I personally found that 4e played almost exactly how it read, with the exception of some mechanics that looked perfectly fine and turned out to be a bit "durhur" in play. (See: Orb Wizards and stunlock. With all of the whining various DM sources do about not...

    Never Say The Fans Don't Matter

    Just wanted to point out that, in the print books, rings aren't restricted to one per handby tier in 4e, and Golden Wyvern Adept became an epic-tier feat called Spell Accuracy that did the same thing. Never say the fanbase rising up and collectively declaring something terrible won't have an...

    Monsters with Fancy Equipment

    So, uh, about monsters with fancy equipment in 4e. I'll admit I haven't had the time to sit down and fully read every page of all three corebooks as that is a lot of text, and I've unwisely spent my time doing things like making fun of all of the terrible monster names in the Monster Manual...

    Ranged Strikers - more "aggro" mechanics?

    So both the Ranger and Warlock, from the playtest, have mechanics which allow them to "mark" the nearest enemy, who takes significantly more damage from anything they do from that point forth - +1d8 for the ranger, and +1d6 for the Warlock. The principal reason I can see for why these...

    D&D 4E Ranged Cover rules all hosed up in DDM2 (/4E?)

    In this situation, where C1 is an archer, C2 is a dragon, and the black squares are walls, C2 has cover from C1? What? That's just plain hosed up. The relevant quote is on DDM2's rulebook, page 30:
