Not enough damage? For the folks that say this guys doesn't do enough damage I'd just like to point out that this: 1 war devil (level 22 brute) isn't an encounter all by itself. this is now the encounter: 1 war devil (level 22 brute) 1 ice devil (level 20 soldier) 2 bone devils (level 17...

Well there is a theory (can't remember it's name off-hand) that the reason we haven't me other intelligent life with interstellar travel capability is simply that 99.9% of civilizations destroy themselves at a certain level of technological development (that occurs before the advent of...

Funny this is exactly the same logic that I use to rationalize the new healing rules. And it works for exactly the same reasons.

If i handed you a rule book for a game that contained a million rules would you call that a complicated game? What if I had rules that could only be used depending on the current layout of pieces on the board? If someone handed me that game I know I would say geez this is really complicated...

Sorry if my earlier statement came across as an attack. It wasn't meant that way at all. But that one line seriously captured the essence of what I see as a growing problem with society in general. And I intend to use in future conversations with people. I understand the point you are trying...

How did I take your words out of context? When asked what fantasy you were trying to emulate you provided an extensive list. With every item on that list being a video game. What else is someone supposed to take away from that other than the idea you are trying to emulate a video game? I could...

If anyone ever wants to wonder why 3e isn't mainstream this is it. Most people don't like their hobbies to be complicated. Many people enjoy challenging their minds (I enjoy sudoko & kakarou). No offense but I'm pretty sure games could be designed that were so complicated only computers could...

Wow this is the most succinct explanation for what's wrong with society that I've ever seen.

So... just for the record and all... You're complaining that 4e isn't video gamey enough?

Ummm.. It seems to me that you aren't actually at 1 hit point in this situation. You are actually in negative hitpoints with a magic item keeping you alive & mobile. If you were actually at 1 HP yourself you would be okay if you lost the amulet. Basically you are saying if you take away a man's...

Many of the fantasy books I read talk about how magical healing drains you. So even though you are "Healed" you are left feeling very tired. Alot of this is usually presented as Magic simply accelerating your bodies natural process. And therefore your own body is still fueling the healing...

EDIT: Sorry quick reply seems to work differently than I would expect.. ----------- Ask yourself this: Why six hours? Why not simply say "five minutes after every fight, you're completely healed"? ------------ Yes, that's right. In many novels/movies that I like the hero manages to return to...

Well I tried all three of my active email addresses and none of them worked. As far as I'm concerned unless some significant motivator comes along I will not be putting forth any more effort to access their content. Thanks for your attempts at help though. They were appreciated.

Trying to get into D&D Insider not gleemax.

Well I tried logging on again today after a 9 day hiatus from the interent and found that I was unable to get in. I believe this is the 3rd (for sure at least the 2nd) time this has happend to me. I've decided to say screw it. I can get all the content or at least the highlights here, so why...

Well apparently the americans are fighting a war on terror in which only one side has an army. How is this any different from a pc group using hit and run tatics (terrorizing those damn goblins)? How about the war on drugs? I don't either side really has an army although the american DEA might...

Why would WOTC ever let the D&D brand go? Even without the RPG it's associated IP will be a real money maker for them in video games, books, and who knows maybe a half decent movie. Although I can see them canceling the RPG line I don't see the bean counters ever letting go of the IP. Unless...

I'm not really sure I understand this question. It's my understanding that more people buy forgotten realms books than play the game. A lot more. So if that's true why would they care that the Forgotten Realms RPG went away? Would the brand not still exist as long as books are being made? It's...

See my post above yours. Sure most store get most of there money from other sources, but there is a certain critical mass needed to maintaining the RPG market place. At some point RPG's just aren't worth the trouble for stores period. If you lose most of your revenue from that section it'll get...

Yes lots of stores sell many things besides RPG's. But in that case the question becomes if D&D goes away will they make enough money from RPG's to keep that section open anymore? Is that section viable without D&D? Obviously I don't know the answer but I bet the answer is no in many stores. I...
