Please stop attempting to compare apples to oranges. It's insulting. Yes, you can make a Dexterity Fighter, and no a Goliath will not be one. But there are Strength/Dexterity races to be if you wanted to make a Dexterity Fighter. Just as there are powerful Strength/Constitution builds to have if yo...

This is a generally good idea. 4e keeps the player and DM side of the equation very separate. Meaning that any time you are giving a bonus to the PCs, you could give an equal penalty to the NPCs and get the same effect - and the players wouldn't even need to know you were doing it. It's more total ...

Re: Sins of 4e
No, a Halfling Fighter is not more playable in 4e than in 3e. At least not relative to other fighters. Sure Fighter is badass in 4e and ass in 3e, but if I made a 3.5 class that had an arbitrary +100 to every stat at level 1, a halfling one of those would be better than an orc fighter. A 3e halflin...

Hell, even Halflings make decent Fighters now.

Re: Sins of 4e
With 4e on the way out (finally!) we can start analyzing where and how they went wrong. I don't mean "things they did that I don't like" (because there are lots of those), I mean "things they did that no one likes." Those are the things that sank the edition. Hate to break this ...

Instead of giving a blanket +1 to hit per tier, just subtract it from the Monsters' stats. Also, you might want to look into jacking down the monster HP and boosting damage, in essence making fights quicker and more brutal (closer to 3.x at least in THAT regard) And why give characters a feat at eve...

Sorry to write an extra post - but I snuggled in one more info in my above post (to those who read it earlier). There's a 64-page rules booklet for the DM in the Red Box. 64 page DM's guide with advice on running games. 32 page player guide comprised of rules on 4 races and 4 classes, covering leve...

Re: The End of 4e D&D.
I'll take a piece of this action. $50 bucks cash money says you're wrong. Very funny. I never take a bet that I cannot win. Since my prediction is that there will never be an Arcane Power 2, I could never collect my 50 dollars since at any future point "never" won't have happened yet and ...

Re: The End of 4e D&D.
So we're calling it. 4th edition D&D gets its last book around the September mark, with the Rules Compendium. There is never going to be an Arcane Power 2 or a Shadow Power or a Darksun Player's Guide or any of that. The DMG 3 will not happen. Starting in Fall of 2010, they will produce a new l...
