I've created a swamp combat encounter where there are foes on swampy islands a foot or two above the surface of knee-deep brackish water. All the water will be treated as difficult terrain, making it difficult to travel quickly from island to island. There will be artillery goblins (or some...

Sorry for what is probably a totally noob technical question here. Not sure where this belongs. I made a Lesser Battlebriar and a couple other monsters using the Monster Builder. I saved them as html files but when I open them using IE, it opens a blank page - no monster. I don't have any...

If a monster is Insubstantial and Vulnerable 5 Radiant and it is hit with, for example, a radiant attack like a 8 point Lance of Faith At-Will, how much damage does it take? Half of 8 (4) + 5 for 9 damage? Half of 13 (7) for 7 damage? Something else? Thanks.

Making a Solomon Kane -inspired Tempest Fighter in DDI and it's got my ATT Bonus as +11. I'm not seeing how or why it's adding +2 in my "Misc" box. Att Bonus 1/2 level Abil Class Prof Feat Enh Misc +11 +1 +4 +3 +1 +2 Seems like it should just be...

There's a Genasi Swordmage in our group that has a couple different powers that require him to be hit for them to trigger. The rules don't really cover this area that I can see. I ruled that if he wanted to be hit, he could be hit. In this case he was using an Encounter power to waste a...

Players are headed into a swamp next session and I was considering bringing out a couple of these guys but there are two points of concern. 1) Their Clamping Jaws attack triggers at the start of their turn but it's a Standard action? So... it's not really at the start of their turn, no? It's...

Didn't see this in the collected errata: PHB p77 indicates Javelins use Dexterity. PHB p218 marks Javelins with the property Heavy Thrown PHB p216 says that a Heavy Thrown Weapon uses Strength instead of Dexterity for the attack and damage rolls. What's correct? (post was giving me a black...

1) Is there a FAQ yet for 4E? I couldn't find one at wizards.com (I can't find anything there). 2) Does Shifting provoke Attack of Opportunities? Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking of running a short d20 Modern game based on the great Vertigo title, 'The Losers' by Andy Diggle and Jock. Anyone out there tried this? It would be my first d20 Modern game - I've been looking at the ruleset for a long time but wasn't inspired to run anything for it until I got my...

Speaking of minotaurs... can anyone tell me what the 'reach zone' of a large figure with a reach weapon looks like? It isn't a square is it? They can't reach an opponent 4 squares diagonal from them I assume. How many squares can they reach? Thanks.

"Wounding - A wounding weapon deals 1 point of Constitution damage from blood loss when it hits a creature." - DMG p226. Is a Trip Attack, (say with a Dire Flail or some other tripping weapon), considered to be a "hit" in this context? Thanks in advance.

I've read the 3.5 PHB Errata, and am aware of the Overrun corrections, but I still have a question. Table 5-1 Feats has a listed benefit of "+4 on overrun attempts; no attack of opportunity" for Improved Overrun. (PHB, p. 91). It seems to indicate that no opportunity attack is allowed against...

Does an "Empowered" Deep Slumber spell effect up to 15 HD of creatures? Thanks.

Forgive this question, but I'm separated from my D&D books. If a character has Combat Expertise and goes into, say, -4 to hit, +4 AC mode whilst fighting a few orcs, and then has Attacks of Opportunity against one of his foes, is his opportunity attack at a -4? Same question for a standard...

It's probably best to simply follow the DMG character wealth table for players creating characters above level 1, but I think it would be cool for DMs to make exceptions for characters that are very narrow in focus and utility. That's something that's always bothered me about the wealth...

I have tried to google for this, and I'm not finding them all browsing through the books either. Can anyone tell me who the 7 deities of the Faith were? Thanks.

The information on nets in the PHB indicates that they have 5 hit points. The DCs to break out of them or escape from them are relatively difficult, but their hit points are very low. Can a character simply hit the net with their sword for 5 points to escape? If so, why would anyone do...

Round up or round down for applying 1.5 times character's Strength bonus? PHB p113 doesn't say, and I'm not aware of a general rule. Thanks.

I am starting up my Midnight campaign soon. One of the players had a character concept that didn't seem to fit any of the available core classes very well. I am relatively new to D&D though I've been roleplaying for 23 years - I'm not crazy about the whole concept of classes to begin with, so I...

Why doesn't Moradin have War as one of his domains? PHB p.91: "He governs the arts and sciences of the dwarves: smithing, metal-working, engineering, and war." Does anyone know if Moradin has War as a domain in 3.5 edition?
