The Gaming Den

Considering me (or Imban) run our D&D games online, it'll only be relevant if we use MapTool or such a like tool.

... but still, I'm just amused.

Hat tip to Imban for this.[br][br]To get the least funny news out of the way-[br][br]- Cone effects are gone (Not sure about this)[br]- HP is no longer rolled (Yay!)[br][br]Now for the funny news (to me)[br]- Moving diagonally is a square only, not 1.5[br][br]Now, while this is meant to make movemen...

I'm hoping. I've already come up with potential house rules, so.. yeah.

(And thanks, I've been abit more busy lately than I would have liked, and have more or less stopped gaming to M&M, a system I .. onl;y sorta know)

From ENworld [br][br]Or, as Imban said:[br][br]{20:15:14} <@Imban> Uhh, there are no more spell schools, Wizards now use either staves (AoE spells), wands (long-range spells), or orbs (single-target and battlefield control spells), the Wizard spell list has been radically shortened[br]{20:16:19} <@...

.. it's really not that simple Crissa. Anyway, in the latest article, Collins (urg) came up with these [brilliant] ideas:[br][br] First Reaction[br]Tier: Paragon [br]Benefit: If you are surprised, you may spend an action point to act during the surprise round.[br][br]Golden Wyvern Adept[br]Tier: Par...

Take Luck as much as you can (capped at PL). Oh, and Perception-range powers. They autohit (still provoke a Toughnes save)

Also, you'll probably wnat to ask TavishArtair or Imban for min/max advice. (*shakes an angry fist*)

I actually think I liked Faerun since it was stable. Because I prefer not having to have adventures dealing with "THE ENTIRE WORLD HATES US."[br][br]n essence, I think the Points of Light idea is illconcived and stupid. I'd rather the setting lie about it's base and maintain a stable (and ...

Fixed it and the quote tag, sorry.

EDIT: Oh, right, credit goes to Imban for the title. I just now rememered I haven't given him credit.

It looks 4e Faerun is undergoing drastic changes[br][br][br][counturl=113]Rich Baker's Post[/counturl][br][br] Anyway, why is Mystra dead? OK, several reasons, some in-world, some meta-management...[br][br]1. It's an appropriate (if grim) finish to the story of Cyric's betrayal begun in the Time of ...

Chuckles: I prefer not to have the Gods actually tell their cleric to do anything. Because they could have ust done it themselves. More to the point, if my story sorta fails because they act up, there is something wrong going on. Besides the abuse of clerical spells.

.. I disagre, that if a cleric wants to cast 10 or so spells, go ahead. If they want to raise the dead, go ahead. I'm not going to tell my players what they can't do, but I also generally have a "please be responsible" request.

[cheap joke] It put a hex on them[/cheap joke]

Well, the hexblade does represent a fighter/mage archetype, and hey! It may be better in 4e!

There are a few articles about playtesting on WotC


ETA: WotC recently purged all of their articles. (only recent and discontinued articles surivived)

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4arch/main

there are some rumblings that 4e psionics may be out shortly after core..

I was under the impression it would be seperate from class progression?

It was briefly on the wotc section

And 4e hits suck and keeps hitting the down arrow

- Uses the SWSE skill system and condition track (bad, good)
- Removes Aoo'S. (BAD!)

Alright, from an IRC channel:[br][br] [br][15:46:39] <@Aslan_Cross> Managed to get into the design and development article about the Fighter[br][15:46:54] <@Aslan_Cross> &#129;gYeah. I thought about going high Con and using a hammer, but I wanted to start with the chance to make a couple of atta...

The announcement is up.. and the server is zergrushed/slashdotted/down

What I'd like from it isn't going tohappen, I'm afraid, but I'll be able to verify that in Decemember. A ECL/LA/CR system that allows for customized races that don't suck.

You know, it might just work out... maybe. (I liked some of the elements of Bo9S. Not sure about SW:SE.

A post about a reason to not allow druids. This.. is just umm.... well, to explain. If you know what the Stundie awards are , you can skip this next line.[br][br]If not, well. You find a really stupid statement by usually a troll. In this case, you read through it, and post it because it's so stupid...

Aside from sorcerers, how does that destroy the game? If something sucks for you as a cleric then you just decide that tomorrow you won't use it anymore. Problem solved.

Or.. .you can just not give them a shitty choice, avoiding the problem?

I'll add something in.[br][br] Please, no Extra Mode [br][br]For those of us who play PSU online, you know that your normal operation is to grind. Because .. yeah, the Story missions are HARD.[br][br](Ironcially, PSU Offline doesn't share sthis.) But in PSU Extra? Blech. No story. It's why I like pa...

He's going[br][br]"What happened?" And wants[br]a) I was using Word and an error called GPF popped up and it died, then the system crashed and my document's gone! [br]b) I was online, and I got a window "SVCHost is shut down." and it rebooted[br]c) The mp3 drive hung in midtransf...
