Making an at will action denial leads to the following gameplay loop: Player: deny action Monster: Unable to act Repeat Combined with minor action attacks it basically means that the class no longer has combat strategy Wow. Just wow. You have no idea what you're talking about, do you? 1. The abilit...

Sorry for the delay Kaelik: Making an at will action denial leads to the following gameplay loop: Player: deny action Monster: Unable to act Repeat Combined with minor action attacks it basically means that the class no longer has combat strategy And actually yeah all of those are math things, the a...

Alright ill bite, why am I a troll? When you make claims about the mathmatical flaws in a given system after having created something with glaring mathmatical flaws it tends to lower the quality of your argument. Bane guard's flaws: Three primary ability scores: Dividing the ability of power selecti...

I for one am disappointed in both the quantity and quality of 4rry trolls that SA has managed to send us this year. I guess they are just too sad that WotC has admitted that their game sucks and no one likes it to mount impassioned forum invasions over it any more. -Username17 Truly I am an invadin...

O-assassin as in the one that used shade? The vampire I would argue only fails the role dynamic as it does it's job faily well, just thats something that 4e admittedly dosent capture very well, the avenger can suffer from lesser) but similar issues (so does the beastmaster ranger to be fair) as the ...

How are the current 4e classes useless, I mean sure power have changed but that happens in every edition (Ray of Enfeeblement getting changed to a Penalty is an example I used to forget). The bane guard is a sticking point because it appareed to be you critiquing the 4e system of design whilst wholy...

Aye but scathing satire falls flat when you simply ignore the system you are attempting to satirize or critique.

Counterpoint: Did you do the math on the bane guard?

Big O notation doesn't mean anything to them because they are literally of the opinion that human minds are magic and we look at dice and get results instantaneously and without any effort or thought. . Do you know what the purpose of Big O notation is? cause this is exactly the problem it was desi...

It's seriously stunning to me that you refuse to get even the most basic understanding of how your resolution system actually works. Well at the most basic level it's a set of D10's matching we already know how those work, as that table has been posted at least twice The main problem that has been ...

That of course is assuming you only need a single success, if Kemperboyd is copying of reign (which is amazing) then the width of your dice pool can matter, thus allowing for two tiers of probability, 1: Succeeding at all and 2: succeeding well? Also This math assumes all the die are different apar...

Isn't the whole point of doing probability calculations that you can design a system without the results necessarily being obvious? You just do that calculation once for each die pool and then you can design perfectly fine? Using your math it comes out as follows Diepool Probability of at least 1 su...
