The Gaming Den

Remember, these are the same guys who think the kewl powerz of an Avatar of Death should be resist necrotic 20. Don't get your hopes up.

How much have you actually played the game? We had a heroic tier game going for a year. If you want a game that has longer combat than 3e, where mini's and mini movement are much more important 4e is the game you want to play. Honestly, this was one of our problems. Combat took forever to resolve, ...

Is it just me, or did the 4e designers not deliver on a lot of what they said they were going to do? Give everyone something interesting to do every round? Sure, spam at-wills. Eliminate magic item dependency? Nope, you still need neck, weapon, and armor, plus the fact that many optimized builds (su...

They'll never nerf the orbizard. They seem to nerf good options, but never of the game-breaking stuff. (Although it's kinda pathetic that you can break 4e when your character basically has the the same as what a 3.5 wizard had at level 1).

Demigod will lose it's ability score boosts.

Wow. That throne just sucks.

Is it just me, or does there seem to be deliberate power creep so 4Fail can sell more books?

Well, they've already stripmined all the art... ..but yeah, I agree with the uselessness of most of the splats. I mean, it seems like they could have made them more useful if the designers weren't obsessed with "every class should have its own extremely limited schtick" With the exception ...

I am thoroughly surprised at this. To be honest, if I had cut my teeth on 4e, I wouldn't want to switch back to the overcomplicated mess that is 3e. We started with 3.5, then a few years later 4e came out. We tried it for a year, then we realized: we can't do half the crap we could in 3e, and comba...

Personally I'd go with a golem rather than a skeleton, for the Diablo reference, but I don't see the problem with the necro/archer described. It'd work in 3e too (though you'd want to use the druid as a chassis because rangers suck). Thing is though, most necromancers aren't marked by being shoehor...

Hey, my group just switched our 4e campaign from 4e to 3.5. Converted our characters and everything. The universal consensus is that 3.5 is better. Sure, it's just one group, but I saw similar stories on the WoTC boards.

I'd just like to point out that my PC is so cool! He's a necromancer! Sure his skeleton has the same stats as a bear, but it's not a bear! It's an undead! The use of bows is a COMPLETE COINCIDENCE. This isn't a ranger, it's a necromancer! You can tell, because I erased 'ranger' from the sheet and pu...
