I believe this is correct, too. The DMG offers more clarification as well: The only mention of intersecting with walls is the case where lines running parallel to the wall aren't blocked. Really, this is just to prevent the silly case where two creatures in a long 5-ft wide corridor would have...

These are all pretty fantastic, but I was hoping they would help clarify the Kobold Hurler from the KotS side-trek article. Sadly they're not here. That article had the Hurler essentially being a thrown weapon version of the Slinger, but claims that they only carry two special pots with them...

Regarding the tipping point phenomenon where high complexity challenges become "easier" than lower complexity ones, for better or worse I can envision instances where parties would abandon a high complexity skill challenge given enough failures without truly achieving a failure as defined by the...

I'll confess to not having the books yet (crossing my fingers that Amazon actually ships tomorrow as I haven't gotten the Dear John letter yet), but it seems like people are complaining that the save will be too easy to make at epic levels, no? Granted I'd like to see how it works out in actual...

Yeah, I'm hoping the upcoming Dragon article on new kobold variants will help clarify this. 2 pots seems pretty weak for an enemy that's essentially born to hurl pots. Maybe 2 pots of each? The tactics section certainly talks as if he has at least 1 of all 3 types.

I'm planning on running both (Kobold Hall first) with player-created characters. There's definitely a risk of kobold fatigue, but the KH encounters have such interesting environments that I think they won't necessarily feel like kobold encounters. It should be a cool showcase for the kinds of...

This is a good question that I don't really have an answer for. I may have to modify the last encounter depending on whether the mirror is there in one piece or not. Maybe the mirror isn't absolutely required for Kalarel's ritual, it just makes it easier and faster to perform. The Thing in...

I'm planning on starting in Fallcrest with Kobold Manor from the DMG (as mentioned above) to get the party to level 2 before Irontooth. Just a general hook about trade between Fallcrest & Winterhaven being completely shut down (by Kobold Manor at one end & Irontooth et al at the other). Then...

And on that note... Is anyone planning on running the Kobold Manor "mini-adventure" from the DMG as an intro into KotS? Doing that would probably get the party to level 2 before hitting the kobold lair, if that would actually help much. Of course, there are drawbacks: - That might just be too...
