    D&D General The Problem with Evil or what if we don't use alignments?

    We actually talked about this point on Flail Forward last friday. https://www.stitcher.com/show/flail-forward Edit: I should post the link tree too. https://linktr.ee/FlailForward

    Oh crap, you're right! Will fix asap. We have two others with that name on the show, and no one spells it the same :)

    Massive $750 10-Book "The Enemy Within Collector’s Edition" From Cubicle 7

    Wow. I guess if you want to play through someone else's novel.

    The Blades Know What You Did In The Dark

    Wow, you have not played this at all. Easy to rise to the top? Take a look at the requirements to get out of Tier II. You need more money than you can even *have*. So how do you do it? You have to subordinate your entire crew to a patron who now literally owns your ass.

    [UPDATED] Dark Horror Fantasy in Robert Schwalb's SHADOW OF THE DEMON LORD

    On cursory reading, it looked and felt like any number of pro-fan-made "This is what I would change about D&D" rather than a new take on anything. That said, I like it quite a bit more than 5th edition already, so I guess he did what he set out to do. The one criticism that I would level at...

    Does the KotS Half-Elf Cleric need fixing?

    Yeah. It's garbage. The encounter power can't hit reliably, and his stats are all wrong. And it's missing an encounter power for being half elf.

    New Class: The Lancer

    Except nothing in the game that isn't a minion has fewer than 20 hp. Other things: I have no clue what this means in the level 3 flurry of blows power: "Close Blast Melee Weapon + 1" Do you mean blast 2? or potentially blast 3? Also, not a good idea to have a power with the same name as a...

    New Class: The Lancer

    Ok. But that just makes the power basically ignorable, because I could either take 2 attacks at -1 or up to 8 attacks if I were mobbed at no penalty. I realize the rapid strike power can be used to attack with reach, but honestly the situations in which that means I have to only attack one...

    New Class: The Lancer

    Some hopefully constructive crit: Blinding Strike is way, way too strong. A burst blind effect versus a non-AC defense is would challenge some of the best 1st and 5th level daily powers. As an encounter power it's far too good. Even if it uses a secondary ability to attack. Rapid strike...

    Power Specific Feats, critique, ideas

    Hey, if you're going to gank my idea for a feat from the thread on the WotC boards, you could at least credit me. http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1056957

    Monster:Tyranids Conversion

    I like your idea. The 40k universe is one of the coolest fictional worlds I can thing of. Some constructive crit... Mob attack should be "each tyranid" not each ally. Hive mind doesn't do anything as written, there are no "mind affecting" effects anymore. And minions probably shouldn't be...

    Warforged: MM vs Dragon Magazine

    I hope this isn't the beginning of a trend of "We already published rules for this, but if you want a mechanically better version you need a DDI account" As for this little package, it's great, the warforged were a little underpowered compared to a few other races in the back of the MM.

    Katar-- Cool weapon to throw in the recycling bin?

    It's there so rogues have a way to increase their base damage from the dagger. Edit: Except I remembered that rogues don't get their +1 to attack with anything but the dagger. Back in the crapper it goes.

    Does anyone actually need the DMG?

    Well, sure it's for newbies. 4e, more than any other RPG I've ever seen, is designed to make ease of use the primary function. I believe it's why there's a simulationist/og gamer backlash. The whole system is a concerted effort to bring new players into the game.

    D&D 4E What is your favorite part of 4e?

    The ease of encounter building. Although, for some reason it looks like they ignored all their own rules when the did KotS.

    Considering Hexes instead of squares

    Yeah, other than adjudicating the spaces of bigger than medium monsters, hexes work out fine. One thing the rogue in the party noticed is that, because there aren't as many hexes around a monster as squares, it's much easier to flank.

    Are there too few known encounter powers?

    I don't know about that. For one reason, there are a number of E powers we've seen that dole out some healing. Clerics, paladins and warlords at the very least have access to these. Using them in the first round of combat would be a total waste. Another thing is that when I'm using an...
