30 Day D&D Challenge - Day 3

#3: Favorite playable class:

Oh, jeez. Well, for a long, long time, it was Wizard. 1st edition, 2nd edition, 3rd edition, 3.5. Wizard was my go-to class. And let’s face facts, in those editions Wizards were, and are, the most powerful classes.

But then 4E rolls along. And bam! wizards are a lot different. In fact most classes are fairly well, equal. I found a healthy interest in being a Leader. Which is not Wizard. They’re controllers. I didn’t want damage, which would be sorcerers.

One thing I did notice in the older classes, especially clerics, they could not attack, and heal, in the same turn. Wizards in the older versions could blast away, and decimate the enemies in the same action. Clerics could attack or heal, but rarely both.

Now, they can attack an enemy, and with that attack, buff allies, and still heal an ally with a minor action,

Since 4e’s release in 2008, I’ve rarely played a wizard, but I’ve played a Cleric, Warlord, & Ardent. I haven’t tried a bard, because they are slightly more slanted towards controller. If I want one of them, I’ll play a wizard.

I’ve not tried Shaman or Runepriest. I’m not all that keen on the Primal source. Just isn’t me. And the Runepriest looks weak,and a little flaky, to be honest. A player in my group had one, and it wasn’t very effective, but that could have just been him. I would like to try an Artificer. It looks really great at the buffing aspect for allies, but most DM’s want to restrict it to Eberron, and I’ve yet to play a game in that world.

So this is a half-n-half answer. Wizards still have a nice place in my heart, but I like playing Leaders.

30 Day D&D Challenge

#2: Favorite Playable Race. Well, I’m a human, so I find Humans easiest to play. Actually, for 4e, I like the fact that you get a +2 where you want to put it, and the bonus At-Will, can come in handy. The extra skill too is nice.

But human seems like a cop out, so I am also going to say Dwarf. I like their personality, and stoic-ness. The feat support in 3.5 & 4e is also pretty good. Dwarves are nice change from humans.

Dungeons & Dragons 30 Day Challenge

Day #1: How did you get started?

My next door neighbor, Jon W. went on vacation do the Jersey Shore over Memorial Day weekend in 1981. He came home with the game, and apparently read it on vacation. He loved it, and showed it to me. (We were becoming buds.)

I had a healthy (?) interest in magic and fantasy at this time, and was immediately fascinated. I also quickly realized this was a group game. I got nearly the whole neighbor hood into the game. The girls too. It was downhill from there. Runequest, MERP, Rolemaster, MSH, Car Wars, etc. etc. etc.
