Wouldn't every creature technically be within 5 feet of where the flask hits, so they ALL take extra damage? Edit: Wow, someone asked that same question in the thread you linked to. I must be psychic.

It's really a combination of your group and the edition you are using that determines how much you can/should wing it. One of my groups is playing 3.5 and is very adamant that anything the DM uses is by the books, with little variation from the rules. My other group is playing 4e and really...

The one time I asked my parents, they asked me these questions: Are you on drugs? Are you hurting people? Are you going to jail? Are you doing horrible in school? After I answered "no" to all of these questions, they pretty much said "then do whatever you want."

Personally, I'd just make it so only attacks or spells cause AOs. That should be easy enough to keep track of, since you'll already need some sort of system to determine "Can X hit Y with melee"? But no, totally removing them wouldn't break much of anything.

City Creator ? AutoREALM ? If you're looking for a free alternative to City Designer 3, I know of none. Your best bet would probably be to get GIMP, steal some stock pictures, and make maps by hand.

It definitely has some very good things to steal. The rests, iterative changes, combat reactions, and elite/solo creatures are the things I hope to try out if we get back to 3.5ish D&D at some point. However, it doesn't seem like it would "fix" 3.5 as much as it thinks it will. *shrug* That...

Wow... that encounter is... wow... I was planning on running this adventure soon, so if anyone has any helpful hints about running this, fire away.

If it is a skill challenge, they are hard-pressed or threatened. Otherwise, it's a non-challenge.

Check out Slow, PH1 277. "If the target was already moving when slowed, the target stops if they have already moved 2 or more squares." (something like that)

This thread is about revelations had while reading a thread about revelations had while reading a thread. :hmm: Won't someone think of the children?!

A form of Stockholm Syndrome, perhaps? I understand both sides of this homogeneity discussion, and actually agree with both of them. 4e does have many tiny details that make characters play out so differently, while still having characters that are 90% the same on paper. 3.5 did have a lot of...

If you want the rest of the rules on marks, see that page.

I think people have been holding off to see the final version of the Hybrid rules.

Eberron Campaign Guide has Medium mounts which only small creatures can ride.

Um... be a Swordmage... They use blades as implements and the spiked shield is an light blade. :hmm: Alternatively, take Arcane Implement Proficiency (light blades) from Arcane Power.
