Apr 01, 2010 9:33:26 It'll need errata, interesting hats are incredibly overpowered in basket weaving competitions.

Me too. It's a great joke, but I almost wish it was real.

Bah, the cloth and wicker power sources don't belong in D&D anyway. They're just a pale and overpowered mockery of denim and they're too Tailorpunk. About the only remotely good thing about them is the "Sewer of Temptation" PP but that's not enough to warrant this new addition to canon.

I kind of want one.

Me too. It's a great joke, but I almost wish it was real.

Seriously though, it would be great to have just for those situations where someone says "Pff, you can't have cheesemaking as a skill? This isn't an RPG!"

Just grab this book, and hand it over.

Apr 01, 2010 22:36:52 Thoroughly apt and amusing. I think they should add interesting hat to the character builder.

The finishing is great. Looks real. Wizards is tempted at the moment. Let this Thread pages increases and they will consider making one for the Essential line !

A Rulebook for Roleplaying, a premiere !!!!
They could make a Game Day at it's release....Some RPG'ing Delve where you put your manners in practice at your local store.

This thread has been dead for a while, but I laughed so hard I cried so it deserves a bump Despite the adverts statement that there have never been rules like this before, indeed there have been. This gem from Dragon #74 (June, 1983) comes to mind among others

Jul 11, 2010 9:25:13 Dragon #3, October 1976, should also prove to be an exceptional source of base material for the new book. It contents included the birth tables of two and a half full pages of tables in the characteristically small print of the era, as well as the Healer class, Scribes abilities tables, the Idiot class, and the Jester class (small excerpt shown below). Personally, I think the "dirty underwear" attack power would make a sensible free action to add to any 4e character's "second wind"; maybe WotC can take care of that in the August "Character Builder" update.
