[QUOTE="Darkthorne, post: 4419331, member: 60783"] Ok, either the monster manual is hosed (which sucks because it's the printed book) or the xp's listed in the encounter calcultor is incorrect. It looks ok, but the one I built (excel) I don't have to subscribe to and does the same job. Also tangent (but works with my point) which I apologize in advance for, while I am the only one in my main gaming group that digs 4E the most, I am SERIOUSLY getting tired of the extremely lame convert your character column. At first it was ok some of them did make sense and only seemed to slightly stretch the original character concept, the rest are falling under "Are you kidding me!?!?" category. Why are they bother making new classes (ie splat books) if the columns are worth the time spent writing them, followed by someone else reading them? I understand some things are still in the works but don't push out garbage just to have stuff there to fill the space. While I used to hit their site waiting for each update, now I just see a rehash of what was done a week or two before. Also I like how the powers and the new stat blocks are done for the monsters, but now I have seen some glimpses of the Forgotten Realms excerpts and it seems like they are trying to gear their design to people w/ ADD (Not trying to slam anyone w/ ADD). Nothing I am seeing recently is drawing me in. I truly hope I am wrong, but I have yet to see what they are going to offer that is WORTH paying any subscription for.:( [/QUOTE]
