Re: Shield and Forge Armor, why not?
Updates to the enchanting section? Give to Zimmmm!!! Thanks for all the great info, panda. I know that there was lots of Deep Thought that went into the changes for ED4. While I personally just love hearing it, I also think it helps community folks make informed decisions on changes or custom equipm...

Re: Shield and Forge Armor, why not?
Yeah sorry if my intent was unclear. The blood charm idea would've been something reusable or disposable. Something like a desperate blow/spell, but for initiative. It's just a bit harder for a shield - what part actually digs into the flesh in order to power the effect, esp given that shields get e...

Re: Shield and Forge Armor, why not?
I'd advise care on this. There is some ground that is Talent, some that is items, and some that is magic (thread item). Initiative reduction isn't something I'd personally be uncomfortable allowing through a long term crafting. That's really a Talent, thread item, and blood magic domain. Knacks (aga...

Re: Shield and Forge Armor, why not?
You answered your own question. the change to defense for shields means that you really don't want to allow those to be improved. Combine that with the fact that armor can now be improved MUCH MORE than in previous editions

Re: Is Multi-Disciplining Worth It?
"Is it worth it" is a weird perspective, I think. I think it's hard to arguable that it is NOT worth it. There are a variety of reasons someone could not want to do it - additional bookkeeping, extra weird LP math, watering down a characters focus, etc. However, that aside, it's hard to say it isn't...

Re: High-Circle Preview: Archer
From a preview perspective, I'd rather see ANY of the other three magician Disciplines before Wizard. Wizard isn't really representative of what is COMMONLY available to casters. You look at their higher circles from ED3, and they have all sorts of incredible things they can do with magic, at varyin...

Re: High-Circle Preview: Archer
First, my thanks to both you and panda. To me, this is the kind of stuff that is most interesting. Great to see the thought that goes into these decisions. I agreed with Sr Rags, "Tracer Missile" just feels unappealing. Granted, I really can't come up with a better solution right now. Everything I c...

Re: Dumb Questions
Sr. Rags provided the answer. You'd have to start digging through probability tables, but my gut tells me that an extra die is usually going to provide better results, statistically, versus a Step bonus. However, I really don't think it's insanely meaningful - if your table just treats it as a Step ...

Re: New site feedback
You thinking back to the old forum where you could open a text area without changing pages, with the only downside being that that ext area didn't have all the nifty bold/italic/etc buttons?
