I'm getting a too many connections error.

Well, yeah. Have you seen the new HoS necromancer? It's "dark fire, dark fire, dark fire, get 1 skeleton, dark fire, dark fire, dark fire, and more dark fire". Maybe some minion undead too. Because when I think "necromancer", I think "dark fire." "dark fire"?...

Here's the actual changes. Name Page Change Turn Undead 62 Changes the damage die from d10 to d8. Removes the damage increases at all levels except 11 and 21. Removes burst increases. Consecrated Ground 65 Removes the user’s ability to move the zone. Spiritual Weapon 65 Clarifies that allies gain co...

The Book of Vile Darkness has been added to the product catalog. For 4E? This ought to be good. Although, while it will likely be boring, I suppose it won't have any infinite Strength cancer mages running around. From the catalog description is sounds like a DM resource book, rather than a player o...

I noticed that some posters on the WotC forums have a little beholder icon that indicates that they are official play testers.

Inflation is when the buying power of money decreases.

Basically it is when you have to pay more to buy the same things.

You both cannot use aid another on use magic device checks nor take 10.

[edit]Will you can take 10 at level 13 and higher do to a class feature, but your build is level 1.

Okay, the point you are missing is that you can't have a fight against minions in a sandstorm that slowly damages everyone, which is totally a scenario that is fun, interesting, and used. You know a question has been bothering me for a while. What exactly are the rules for a sandstorm in 4E? I look...

They took until Dark Sun, but they eventually did this with the inherent bonus rules.

DESIGN GOAL: Fix the RNG.

What is "RNG"?

As it has been brought up, rules for creating/customizing monsters is in the Dungeon Master's Guide. The rule for new powers are basically rip off another power, but a damage table (monster damage has been errata'd) exists as well. Additionally I'm not aware of any splat book for this, except for th...

After the following post the thread shifts to the far right. I suspect a messed up quote tag.

I find it absolutely hilarious how 4E defenders keep circling around the Kobold Slinger - which I already said is a bad example - when in fact the main concern is that magic items used by monsters tend to stop working. Which I'd already proved anyway You have not proved that monster items quit work...

Zinegata already said that. In the bit you just quoted. he went on to explain why it was still a relevent example. Why is that bad again? It's not a relevant example because it is backed with a appeal to consequences. It's not that a legitimate complain that gluepots break the game if looted doesn'...

Fine, not the Slinger, bad example. In practical terms though, you can't loot the Slinger's ammo because it breaks the system. You can now add an immobilization effect that only ends on a save to any ranged weapon ability using a sling. Seriously, that's why people in Enworld ask other peeps whethe...

Zinegata wrote:Check the Kobold Slinger example - you can't loot their special ammo off of them. And that ammo isn't magical.

And you cannot why?

Also, I don't recall stat adjustments for magic weapons in the original MM.

It is in the Dungeon Master's Guide.

That's not the case in 4E. The monster's corpse and weapons literally disappear the moment you kill them, instead leaving behind a "package" that's supposed to be tailor-fit for the party. Actually many monsters get non-magical equipment and I cannot find any rules that they disappear whe...

Good, now you can learn to read the fourth word of the sentence. Which is can. I did make an error,but you are hiding behind weasel words. See, 4rry telling us 4e is doing great financially. No, he asked you to proof. also loooooooooool at being unable to tell a story because of the mechanics of 4e...

Titanium Dragon's argument was incredulously stupid, but to transfer that to all that like 4E is like saying that [insert race] are [insert stereotype] because you found one that was. You might notice I said "can" not "will" or "all will." He is claiming an argument st...

The cactus harpooned your character, reeled them in, and then sucked their blood. That's about all I remember about that monster.
