    13 True Ways

    4 out of 5 rating for 13 True Ways Good book. Some great classes and info about the setting. The Chaos Mage is amazing, and I never saw a Chaos Mage that made me exited to play it. The multiclass rules are awkward. The Druid is a HUGE disappointment. Huge like it seems it was built by a forum...

    Playtest Feedback: Ship Combat

    Maybe ship-to-ship combat, should be done in a more abstract way, like 13th age combat? Some basic distances and special maneuvers to change it.

    How do you adjust SOLO monsters from MM1?

    I have some rules when designing solos, and always change the WotC ones. - Lower defenses and Hps. The basics they changed in MM2/DMG2 - High mobility/high range. The solo have to be a threat to the whole party. It's difficulty if it acts like a locking Soldier. - The most crippling status...

    Have they tackled Anti-Magic yet?

    Jeez! Please! Screwing the heroes is a nice story trope! Put yours anti arcane fields all the way. It's obvious that if you focus in combat challenges too much, you piss the players of arcane classes. But if they are mature enough, knows beforehand the kind of problem they will face, it's is ok...

    What game system have you tried that made you go WOW!

    Mutants & Masterminds. It's crazy. A masterpiece of roleplaying system. For the setting, both Shadowrun and Eberron really impressed me. It's a shame Shadowrun rules are pretty much subpar.

    Worlds with Liberal Use of Resurrection?

    Remember to make the war for the material component(i.e. diamond dust) the center of all geopolitical conflict. The one who controls the diamond, controls the world. or The diamond dust must flow.

    Everyone starts at 1st level

    I agree with one of the first posters, in 4th Ed, is easier to just add the incremental bonus to everyone than take then away. If the other PCs are level 10, the newbie starts with level 10 HPs, add +5 to attacks, defenses, etc... You can give the level equivalent magic items or not. I'd rather...

    Stargate- was there ever a RPG?

    Stargate Sg-1 RPG was great. I bought mine used last year and I'm hunting for the others. Maybe d20 isn't the best option for you, so I recommend GURPS or Savage Worlds. Both can be adapted easily with the fluff in th AEG book.

    Game broke down over Pinning Strike

    I'm with Cadfan. If the player can describe in game term why the dragon should stay, it stays. If not, the dragon is free to fly. I like to think the rules are the starting point, not the end point for adjudicating situations.

    Making Rituals Permanent by Spending Healing Surges for a Year

    I like the HS cost. Make magic feels personal and exhausting in the long run. When you could just make a high check or spend more money, takes the whole "sapping my life away" thing.

    Monk Preview

    WotC, please, hear the feedback. Hadouken was the most homebrew thing stuffed into monks. Throw him a bone a let him fireball from day one. If they are smart, they cram as mush Street Fighter moves in the powers as they can. Hurricane Kick make a neat Daily power(as in hit, push, shift, hit...

    This kind of thread is a lot of fun to read. Do you realize that just to please everyone that posted here is impossible :D

    Gamer opinion on RPG comics

    Don't have a evil-but-comic character, like Black Mage(or Richards). Humor is good, but do it right, or don't do it. Bad humor is worse than none. Update as often as you can, if it's good, you must deliver the fix for your junkies. And find your own voice.

    Deals with the devil?

    Anything your story needs. Nothing is off limits if your story needs.

    DMs: what have you learned from PLAYING that has made you a better DM?

    The most important thing I learned is the motto of the 4E. Say YES! I barely played in my whole lifetime. When I got the opportunity(and the time) to do so, I was luck my DM was a very good DM. The story was interesting, the world rich, the NPCs very entertaining. But, he could not say Yes...

    Art: Bloodfury Savage: Since when do half-orcs shave their pits.

    About the subject, I couldn't care less about the way half-orcs sahve or not(Or it's just some artistic freedom), and I prefer my female HUMANoids as much alike humans it can get. I for one can accept dragon, beholders, owlbears and rust monsters. If they put breats in a Thri-kreen I wouldn't...

    Barbarian and Avenger defenses (Forked Thread: Thaneborn Barbarians)

    I think the problem of the OP is much similar of the first version of the barbarian. Do we really want a class who has a such obvious choice as a feat? And an armor feat. It would be like a Crossbowman class, who could be doing more damage without any penalty by getting the longbow feat in the...

    Help, I'm on fire and being eaten by rats!

    I know it's wrong, but I like to go by the first answer in the thread. Each effect in unique, and you must save for each, even if they don't stack. This and that same attacks doesn't stack also. So, if you get "Ongoing 5 Fire", and get it again from the same attack, you still got only one. But...

    "loseing is not cost effective"

    Spending the big guns in early is not a big problem. Daily attacks are NECESSARY only against the dreadful level+3 fights. Almost all the other situations can be beaten only by encounters and at-wills. You just get to improve your threat assessment, so making early mistakes is ok. Just keep it...
