Nadaka said:4: the argument that anything heavier than your max load can not be lifted is clearly false by the rules. That is merely the load that one can lift without having any chance of failure at all.
vagabonvoid said:In the rules, it only names The type of material the porticullus would be made out of and ignores the actual weight of it. By your argument, the adamantine porticullus could be small and weigh 50 lbs or gargantuan in size and weigh 10000lbs and still lift it with a DC33 str check...
Nowhere in the rules does it say once can lift heavier than their heavy load (this is why there is the entire paragraph about pushing and dragging). Also, you can fail to lift your heavy load (last sentence in the carrying capacity paragraph).
I'm glad they emphasize in the DMG that to use common sense.
Nadaka said:Even looking at John Mclaine, at the end of the last movie, was he as good at hacking computers as Theo from Die Hard 1? WHat happened to all the XP he got from getting shot, blown up and saying bad one liners? He doesn't add half his level to his int checks or his computer use skill because it just isn't in his character.
So stop playing 4e if it hurts your brain so much!Nadaka said:It seems the 4e answer to any question is just this: "Because." No further elaboration is given.
Nadaka said:Does this make sense to anyone else?
isirga eth said:However, I still don't understand one thing - why did the designers bother with a skill system at ALL? What's the difference between making an untrained insight check and making a wisdom check plus half your level?
What difference does a +5 trained bonus from the Paragon tier onward?
