My family and me recently moved to Montreal, Canada, and we want to give out 'thank you' notes for the caretakers of our (2.5-year-old) child. We don't know French (and don't think it's wise to rely on Google Translate), so I was wondering if someone here would be SO kind as to translate the...

One of my PCs is using a nasty 2 magic item combination which I can’t believe is legal. The two items are: 1. Gloves of Dimensional Repulsion (Vault 1 page 134) 2. Space Shifting Bolt (Vault 2 page 27) Without those gloves, the arrows only teleport the enemy 1 square (in addition to...

From the New York Times: :uhoh: :erm: Edit:Apparently this is the same as this thread. Ooops. Moderators, please close down this thread.

I'm looking for a story about a god who sacrificed himself - truly got himself killed - for his followers, or for mankind in general. The idea is to have priests of a dead god, priests with no power, no way to channel a god that no longer exists, but that honor his sacrifice. The setting is...

So, I've got a player that came up with a level 16 character which he says can decimate just about anything, acting as a party all by himself and taking down opponents of any level. I don't have lots of experience with 4e, so I thought I'd ask around here if this character is really that...

I'm trying to think up of a good system to play out a wizard's duel. It's for Ars Magica, but I don't like that system's wizard's duel rules and am thinking of replacing them with something else. What I'm imagining is something combining a battle of wits with magic might, so that the battle will...

Destructive Salutation + Orb of Inevitable Continuance + Quick Draw = BROKEN. I've just run a game with Pydruhs, a level 22 human wizard bloodmage archamge, as the PC. He's got Destructive Salutation, indeed twice (from his Archmage), plus Arcane Mastery to let him cast it more times. He also...

I've recently came across a picture of the following tattoo: This is the emblem of the Order of Hermes, the defining symbol of the Ars Magica game, that a devout fan of the game permanently etched on himself. That's commitment. The Ars Magica fan community is a small one. ENWorld is large...

There is a power that, if hit, causes damage. It then says you can sustain as a Minor action, which causes x damage (save ends). What does this mean? Can you sustain if you didn't hit? Can you sustain on the same round you've hit? If you don't sustain that round, can you sustain the next round?

I'm gonna run "Sleeper in the Tomb of Dreams", from Dungeon #155, next session. Anyone got experience with this one? Any advice? The party will be minimal, just 4 characters strong. The characters are spanking-new level-8 characters, advanced in a single jump from level 3. So I'm expecting to...

If a prone character is teleporting, say with feystep, is it possible for it to arrive as "standing" in the destination? What about if he's using some other teleportation power? Does this cost nothing, no action or so on?

I'm thinking of ruling that switching hands (moving a small object from one hand to the other) is a Free Action. This is risky, however, so I want your advice. The item in question is a dagger. The idea is that by holding two daggers, you can throw the first and later draw the one in your...

A few things that cropped up in my latest session. As we're not sure on the rules, we'd appreciate ENWorld's knowledgable feedback. * Is it possible to interrupt an interrupt? Consider characters A, B, and C, all standing next to each other. A is a fighter, that has marked B. Now let's say C...

I just made my first houserule, after the party blasted trap-statues and vault-doors with artillery and, having discussed the rules (objects having only hp, not hardness or resistance to damage types), realized that one can punch his way out of jail. We didn't make a hard-and-fast new rule...

I was reading the journal Nature (a high-impact scientific journal), and was amused to find a D&D reference. I thought I'd share. It's from Big data: Welcome to the petacentre, by Cory Doctorow:

Are you pleased with the new healing rules? It seems to me that they strongly enforce per-day hit-points, limting healing to healing surges per day (with the exception of regeneration and so on, but I'm assuming that's rarely and not generally available to all the characters in the party). In...

I have a Tiefling character in my group, a warlock multiclassing into paladin. He took the eyebite power, and uses it (as well as hiding) with his Divine Challenge. The result is that the target can't hit him or even approach towards him since it doesn't know where he is, so it takes the full (8...

Anyone made a DM-Screen .doc or .pdf for 4e? I'm gonna run my first 4e game session soon, and could use one...

A friend of mine is in Seattle, and I want him to pick up a D&D Gift Set or the three books. He was in a Barnes & Noble there, but they said the books will only be there in a few days. He'll be out of the country in two days. So I need the address of a gaming store in Seattle, one that has the...
