Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity

no no....Ring of Warmth!

But seriously, if you are going for "coolness" rather than functionality or what-not, then the Apparatus would be pretty cool. Rod of Lordly Might also is pretty cool, if not terribly tough.

I'm joking in reference to "another flamee war on the internet" audio from RPPR.

In this world there probably is a neo-Nazi furry group. In fact there are probably several who argue amongst themselves

Ross (and others) are right about the paladin, especially as it levels up. Divine grace itself is nasty, especially if you have a cloak of charisma. Even without the mount, they hit hard.

Hey Ross,

You've been running 4E for awhile now, how do you find the balance? I assume it's more balanced than 3/3.5. I've been playing it between sessions of my game, but not enough to have a definitive opinion. It seems more balanced, but combat also seems to take longer. I love how the classes work together from what I've seen. It feels much more teamworky.

I think it depends on the palyers you have too. Mine constantly surprise me in their cleverness and imagination. That makes it harder.

In any case, at higher levels of D&D 3.5, wizard power is daunting. The game mechanics are not balanced. As long as everyone has fun though, it's not an issue. It does make having fun harder though :-)

Sure, if you have "A" golem attacking you. A good GM can come up with a challenge for there players no matter what. A single anything is rarely a challenge. A good game system does help the GM though. D&D 3.5 is not easy on the GM for creating balanced encounters, that's for sure.

As for what fighters can do that others spell caster's can't at higher levels is: Hit things that have high SR. If you count on spells killing things after level 12 or so, you will be unhappy.

My players do miss having a wizard at times! Masss damage is a big problem for them.

As for the duskblade, still not really a wizard in terms of variety and shear mass firepower.

My players have managed to get all the way frlom 3rd to 12th level in 3.5 without a wizard. The party is:

Knight 12 (PHB2)
Rogue 12
Duskblade 12 (PHB2)
Cleric 9 Radiant Servant of Pelor 3

The Duskblade typically does the most damage, but ends up with low HP regularly
The Knight anchors the group soaking up damdge and dealing okay damdage too.
The Rogue is hit or miss with damdage depending if he can sneak attack
The Cleric heals, buffs, and now occasionally blasts.

I love good RP in a game and this game had many great moments. The meta discussion was hilarious too....."I know this guy is just going to try and kill us."

Just great fun!

Great concept Ross. As an actual play it was very intimate (shut up) with just Cody and Jason, but that added to the atmosphere. I liked how the investigation went and how it was very open and not a set of directive clues to follow. Great GMing and playing guys.
