    Holy Symbols: are they God-specific? Can they be altered?

    RAW, I can't find any either. I'm thinking rather then a ritual to change the deity, it's just a class feature for clerics and paladins. That, or magical holy symbols by nature morph into the deity of the wielder when they first use it as an implement. Maybe they can wield any deity's symbol as...

    Wizards in leather

    I agree. Look at the leather armor in the PH. That doesn't look too difficult for even the squishiest of Wizards to wear.

    Wall Effects

    I don't have a source page, but I do remember reading that a square usually means 5'. I believe it is in the DMG, around the encounter building areas. They just decided to get rid of the 5',10',15',20 squares and changed them to 1,2,3,4, but they're still 5 feet. That being said, I would rule...

    How to detain an Eladrin Rogue? ie, teleporting

    I would say that's pretty important. Also, that's 1 per five minutes of resting. That means the rogue needs to teleport past her bars, and walk around avoiding guards for at least five minutes before she can teleport again. If she is placed in a room that doesn't have a window to outside, or at...

    Designing user-friendly adventure module maps

    I posted this yesterday in the 4e Fan Creations forum, and I got 4 replies, none of which understood my question. I realize this is probably because I phrased it badly, but I think I'll post it in general anyway, as it has more to do with adventure modules in general then anything else. I'm...

    How should I make my adventure's maps?

    Not exactly what I was asking, but thanks for the ideas. The question was more, if I was to make adventure modules that other people can download and use, in those modules, how should I format the maps so the people who download them can use them the easiest.

    ranger powers and heavy thrown weapons

    I like to follow "It may not make sense, but they tell us it's balanced" train of thought. To make it logical, the ranger's ranged powers require more accuracy then anything to pull off. For example, Nimble Strike, you're concentrating on shifting while attacking, so you can't put your full...

    How should I make my adventure's maps?

    I've been making adventures for my campaign, and I thought that I should take some of the adventures and make small module things out of them, so I can use them later on, and so other people could borrow them from me. The one thing I was wondering is how should I make the combat maps? I...

    The Vase - Adventure

    I'm no mathematician, I can't even spell it without a spellcheck, but I concur that the shambling mound is overkill. +12 to a reach 2 attack. Using the premade lv1 paladin from KotS with 20AC, that's an 8 or higher to hit on the mound's basic attack, and he's the highest AC there. I say find a...

    More Monsters -- Kobold Miners (and friends)

    Some very interesting ideas, I especially like basically using kobold minions as ammunition. These may very well be in my game later on. The only problem I have is Sudden Drop. I don't particularly like this ability, because it is basically ret-conning a pit trap into existence. Usually, a...

    The "Normal" Power Source

    I like this idea, but having an extra 9 power cards seems like it would get a bit problematic and space consuming. What I would suggest is shorthanding anything that can be short handed, and put 3 or 4 of them on one card each, with the titles "Normal Attacks" or "Normal Movement" kind of thing...

    Exceptions, flavor text and rules interaction: Icy Terrain/Flight/Cold Resistance

    White Dragons have Ice Walk, but that doesn't affect the hit. So the dragon would not take damage, but would fall prone. However, the terrain is not difficult to it, but it would be to your allies, which gives the dragon a bit of an edge. (Though the difficult terrain ends with a minor...

    D&D 4E 4e Scenario Template in Landscape Layout- STEAL THIS FROM ME AND USE IT

    I've never understood the idea of a landscape adventure. My DM Screen is usually a binder with the adventure in it. Having the adventure landscape means I'd have to invest in a special binder to keep flipped pages hidden, or turn my head sideways a lot. That being said, to people that this...

    House rule combat maneuvers

    Perhaps all of these maneuvers trigger an OA with combat advantage before the attack, with a special clause saying that if this OA misses, it can't trigger any of the "deal damage on a miss" powers (though marking still works.) Slam I think should be tied in with Trip. I think that the reflex...

    Oddities with the Experience Table

    This is just an idea, and I'm not sure I understand 100%, but perhaps the weird levels coinside with PC abilites? Perhaps when they get new encounter powers, the XP increase of a monster's level has to increase. Every time they gain a new ability, the XP of that level's monsters increases more...
