Who was in charge of 4E around the time of the third players handbook? I recall it being a lot better done and more interesting than the previous 2. Though, that may have just been due to lowered expectations.

It's rather akin to how some people will tell you with a straight face that Fighters are versatile because they can fight with different styles of fighting. If they got different styles of fighting with abilities that have non combat based maybe. Like your ability to judge a persons position and bo...

A lot of the handwringing over trap options just GOES AWAY if you bake retraining into Players Handbook 1. So your Flaming Uppercut technique actually sucks... Wouldn't a better place to start would be for your Flaming Uppercut to not suck, but maybe taking flaming/ice/thunder/quick uppercut isn't ...

Re: OSR movement threat or menace?

. Acording to them It dosn't matter that your fighter is completely incapable of beating a monster like a Behir This reminds me of the issue of ivory tower gaming that Monte Cook was a fan of. You can easily build a fighter that can take on a Behir. If you know what your doing. Otherwise your getti...

At one point I extended the vestige binding feat progression from ToM, so a character could get an 8th level bind for either 7 or 8 feats. I did the same thing with the Complete arcane feats that granted some spell like abilities to 9th level spells. I think the chain was 5 feats total. So the math ...

I think using the heal skill to raise dead a person, attach grafts, Heal people, and make drugs that give benefits. Craft skill that lets you build scaffolding fast enough that your buddy can stab the dragon in the throat. A jump skill that if it doesn't give flight changes formula so at 20 ranks yo...

The use of wrong units could be a way to gauge customers. Like if I'm selling a computer to a hick farmer and after being asked if it runs fast, I respond by saying does a 160 gigabytes sound fast to you? Then charging him way more than I would otherwise as he has no clue he would be getting screwed...

The thread was still on the first page, I didn't think it was really a necro or that GC had left when I made the post .

I didn't think the last 5 pages would be that bad, but with that aside I felt pointing out that the rules state that GC's strategy doesn't work was important, because none of you people called him out on it. Plus I was a bit curious if it was possible to pry more on the stats from his characters.

Non shit tier melee has a range greater than 100 Please describe this. Flying pounces. Only way that might actually work is if the dragon is straight up since ascending is half speed for non perfect maneuverability. I hope this wasn't covered, but you can't charge while upwards at all unless you ha...
