comment What are the most important errata for a new D&D 4E group?
Potter - I empathize with your position. If you want to see if the rest of the community is with you, bring it up on meta.rpg.stackexchange. Take note that "Too localized: this question would only be relevant to a specific moment in time" is one of the standard issue vote-to-close reasons on all StackExchange sites, but I'm under the impression we can edit that list though.

comment What are the most important errata for a new D&D 4E group?
I'm voting to close; this question and its answers may become outdated as new errata is published, though it seems the answers pointing to the Rules Compendium seem like they will stand the test of time. Perhaps a re-phrasing of the question is in order?

comment Third-Person Limited Narration or Third-Person Omniscient Narration?
@cr0m - I think I got it: Third-Person Limited Narration contrasted with Third Person Omniscient. What do you think?

@chaos - In response to "Why would you ever", I think that's pretty much the same question I asked in the first place :P

comment Third-Person Limited Narration or Third-Person Omniscient Narration?
@cr0m - I thought about this point when I wrote the question. In my opinion, it can't be First Person Narration, as the narration is not in the first person; the GM is not a character and the story is not told from the GMs perspective but from everyone else's. Now, in the above scenario, if the GM tells the players "No ships are following your characters" because they fail the Spot/Perception checks, are they not changing the story in the style of an unreliable narrator? Hence, I personally feel Unreliable Narrator is the best term.

If it's intuition, shouldn't it technically be Wisdom not Int? ;)

comment What could you call medical doctors in a medieval/fantasy setting?
@SevenSidedDie @mxyzplk @Tynam - It's not about subjectivity though; I see this question as a reference, for which there is no one answer. I think that the top answer being a collection/aggregation of answers supports that opinion.

+1'd, but is not the best GM the one who railroads without the player's ever knowing it?

@Ry St - I've re-tagged this [sorcerer-and-sword] since [sorcerer] seems to be for the Sorcerer game. Please correct me if I've made an error!

comment What could you call medical doctors in a medieval/fantasy setting?
@SevenSidedDie - This is true; given the setting monk can still be a practitioner of medicine, but I'm hoping that the term I find here feels more self-evident that we're talking about a non-magical healer.

Could you link to a Wikipedia entry or publisher web site or something?

comment What could you call medical doctors in a medieval/fantasy setting?
... then you're kind of going down the Cleric healer path, and I'm fishing for a strictly medical (non-magical) healer of sorts.
