They take up the same "slot" but I have personally worn bracers while weilding a shield in RL. I can not find any clarification of how they (or say goggles and a helm or an amulet and a cloak at the same time). Do you just choose which is "empowered" in the slot each short rest? I was...

Perhaps the single best item a 4th ed game needs, these are awesome tools, but when my wife went to buy me some for my birthday, the online store was down (error message). As these guys out of business? Thanks, Ken

Poll is about the total sum of the class. Mechanics + Fluff + Brokenness + ease to run + reduction of fun for everyone else in game + everything else, i.e. and overall opinion. Often times people just have a gut feel for the class they dislike the most. That is what this poll is about. I...

Ok so looked at the shaman and unlike the other broken aspects of 4th (battlerager, I'm looking at you) the shaman is the first which breaks from the internal balance of the game and is not just some combination or "Extra" which was not playtested well. It is a fundemental aspect of the class...

So I’ve now run 2 campaigns and lots of little 4th ed sessions. What intrigues me is how much different the two were and what the end results have been on the player’s interest. The discussion moves in and out of 4th ed specifically but hopefully will give insights to others as they go to play...

I've been reading reviews, playtesting, and otherwise pondering the 4th ed druid. So far it is hard to say why anyone would ever play a wizard over a druid. Role Creep at its worst. Anyone have a difference of opinion? If I am stuck on combat, transforming allows them out of the primary...

Looking over the sowrdmage, it is a very effective replacement for both a fighter and a mage (for lots of AoE). is it too much more powerful too fast? I mean, why would anyone ever play a fighter over a swordmage? Challenges are awesome, batter or equal AC but in leather armor, attack damage...

A buigbear/ minotuar can not use reach weapons such as the halberd in one hand correct? Or is it they do not have greatswords in one hand, but can use the next weapon size in damage from the weapon damage by size chart? Thanks, Ked

A revision of an earlier (read 1st addition race), I'm interested in people opinions on balance. RACIAL TRAITS Average Height: 6´ 10˝–7´2˝ Average Weight: 250-350 lb. Ability Scores: +2 Strength, +2 Constitution Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares Vision: Normal Languages: Choice of two from...

Have not had time to read the boards, but last time I was here, these were an issue. in my game I did the following: As per the PHB (+2 to hit otherwise basic attack without ability modifer to damage) with the following: Special: The strike criticals on a 18-20. I have seen people use this in...

Where is this in the DMG? Can not find it and it would be insane not to have it in there. I assume it would have what starting money and weapons they would have, etc. Thanks, Ken

For an average AC of a monets with assumed max stat (18), what bonus to hit would careful strike require to equal or surpass twin strike in chance to do damage/average damage?

Ok so everyone in my group is building up characters and while someone was once excited about being a Wizard, once he got the books and saw fireball, fly and levitate invisibilty and a host of other spells, he felt they were too heavily nerfed to play. Everyone (my players) else tends to say...

These have been converted from my old campaign. Any response as to peoples opinion of their power rating, I'm happy to hear it. Use a 1-5 scale please, with 5 being too powerful, 4 being strong but not too powerful, 3 being perfect, 2 being not great, but useful on occasion, and 1 being near...

What is your general opinion on the worst of the races (Mechanically)? If ya vote, reasons why and what you'd think of doing with the race to make it better would be great things to post. It would also be cool to post if you've actually played as well. See ya, Ken

Ok, so I for whatever reason have a beef on the half-elf thing so I figured to go all out and ask others how they plan to fix this sucker of a race. We now have final confirmation of: +2 Con (yes CON!), +2 Chr +2 diplomacy and insight +1 to diplomacy for others Can use human and elf feats (i.e...

trying to decide shipping. Can people who ordered keep on the shadowfell from Amazon list the day they got thier books and the shipping speed ordered? Like: free shipping, came in May 20th 1 day shipping, came in May 21st 2 day shipping, came in May 22nd etc. Thanks, Ken

Ok I have now DMed or played 50+ hours total of pregened 4th ed. Having done so, I have seen countless times specific races totally kicking butt, saving the day or their lives, while others consistantly fall short. From that I have formed an opinion on the races and wanted to see if anyone...

OK have run a lot of 4th now including a 20 hour session this weekend (home brew) and we still had a few issues with dying I would love to have WOTC answer for KotS that I will run later: A) ok when at 0 or less, you roll a 9 or less and you get a death "mark", three and your out. 10-19 you...

Anyone with KotS able to look into this real quick? Just want to know if standing provokes. I know crawling does. Thanks, Ken
