In the last campaign I ran I had the following rules for Chargen: Ability Scores: 22 Point buy Additional bonuses for point-buy: +2 points for writing a back-story (Deadline: December 14) +2 points for writing a strong connection to Surrion (the God of True Light) +2 points for writing a...

I can't really explain why I feel excited about new power sources, but I have to say that I do. Also, I agree that there's a distinct pattern or theme to each power source - at least, mechanically, although they're subtle enough for me to appreciate them. And there's a part of me that would...

That's an interesting viewpoint for me, esp. since currently I'm writing up rules for a LARP here in south NJ. I don't think that a system like that is as much a flaw as it is a feature. I think that you should be able to prosper/function somewhat as a starting character if you're great at...

Definitely slightly more anti-4E to me. I used to go to the General RPG discussion forum "alls the times." But nowadays, certain threads drive me to seclusion in the 4E rules forum/cave more often than not. :(

I stopped playing WoW about a few months ago, but not because I "hated" it. I like the game and the social aspect of it, especially since most of my players play it. In order for me to actually win at PvP (which is the only end-game activity that interests me), I needed a lot of time... time...

That is really odd. I actually had a player who had nearly the same "idiosyncracies" as this "Fred" of yours (I also have a player named Fred, but he's awesome). "Had" of course, is the operative word since I've since stopped playing with him. His attitude just kept bringing everyone down. My...

Beast Companions only have 2 Surges, but you can sacrifice your healing surges for them as a standard action (I think).

I'm playing a Str cleric of Kord as well, except my cha is 12 and I have enough con to get plate. I do pretty well for myself and my party of three (chaladin and artful rogue). I don't really run out of healing for the most part (we're level 6 and I could've taken bastion of healing) and I do...

I think I understand what is happening here. the OP is adding scale + shield + 1/2 level his friends are adding dex +1/2 level + armor + 1/2 level. They might be thinking that "dex mod" means "dex + 1/2 level"... Which is wrong (if this is the case).

If I had to choose between the two with my money, I'd pick D&D. But right now, I'm off the GM chair and PvPing like a maniac with my [Merciless Gladiator's Greatsword]. I hate being Horde (though I do like the Forsaken and BEs) but I love having no queue-time for BGs. Most of the players at my...

Will does not like what he hears from within the room. "My comrades! To me at once!" Will moves toward the door and attempts to smash the hinges* so that it cannot be closed against him. He also positions himself so that only one can engage him. Thrice-damned! Ogrin... hang in there...

ao'Thuir leads Lucien and Richard away from the Meijer residence and toward their trap. Through the winding streets does their path lead. They are noticed, certainly, even in cosmopolitan Orussus. But they are undisturbed. Richard and ao'Thuir's appearances make sure of that. Between the Wood...

OOG: Sorry, I've Interweb connection problems in the home. I'll be gone on vacation. Different location but access in destination will be unreliable. Will peers at the darkness beyond the door. It's a trap. Goddess knows it's a trap. But I cannot turn away now, not when our only clue awaits...

OOG: It was a remove curse. I think someone (not ishmael) should keep the CLW potion though. Always handy. I don't really want anything from the loot pile.

OOG: Message received. Will move the plot along on Christmas Day though, when I get a break.
