Well, I’ve been away from EN World for a while and haven’t posted anything in ages, but I’ve been trying to keep busy. I’ve (nearly) finished the initial draft of my first humor-heavy fantasy novel, but while I was writing that I also came up with what might be the worst D&D joke ever. This may...

I'm working up an NPC Warlock for my game tonight and thought that the "Cocoon of Refuse" invocation (Cityscape, p. 68) would be perfect, as the action's currently taking place in a ramshackle port town. The description makes it sound like a ranged attack...but I see no range given in the...

The beginning of the end is tonight. Anyone still interested? Last year, I believe one thread sufficed to cover the whole of Season 5, not individual episode threads, so I'm putting this up now. For me...this is probably the least excited I've been for a season premiere. Not sure if I've...

Anyone else catch John "Ol' Chumbucket" Baur (of International Talk Like a Pirate Day fame) on Jeopardy last night? He seemed unusually nice for a pirate and talked and dressed kinda normal. He did pretty good in the game before botching his Final Jeopardy answer and finishing last (although I...

In the Monster Manual appendix, the Undead listing states that undead universally are immune to paralysis. So.... ...What happens when an undead meets a Trumpet Archon (MM/18) that blows its trumpet? That entry states that "All creatures except archons within 100 feet of the blast must...

Has anyone who sent in a query to either of the online mags (Dungeon/Dragons) had their idea greenlighted and been asked to submit a full submission?

I've talked myself in circles on this one and now don't know what to think any more. Here's the situation: There's an unlit room in a dungeon--total darkness. The tieflings lying in wait have 60-ft. darkvision, as do the party's dwarf and half-orc. The party's two humans have magic items...

Things I noticed: 1) Locke's dad called Ben "bug eyes," very similar to one of Sawyer's nicknames for Mr. Linus 2) Locke's dad acted almost nothing like we've seen him in all the previous flashbacks. Didn't seem like much of a con man. In fact, he gave out so much information that he...

IMO, one of the best episodes in a while. Several "Holy crap!" moments. Mikhael...Jin's mom...Sun causing Jin to become an enforcer for her father...that statement at the end of the episode. Wow...just wow! And more good stuff coming next month it seems.

Help! Where in the PHB or DMG are the rules on what causes/advances fatigue and exhaustion? Thanks in advance.

What if it had been International Talk Like a Pirate Day when certain famous lines were spoken/sung/written, and they were instead delivered with Pirattitude? We might've had.... "Do or do not. Thar be no try. ....ARRRRRR!" The Empire Strikes Back "Show me the booty!" Jerry Maguire "O...

Since Survivor's new season starts this Thursday, I decided to go to CBS's web site to check out the contestants. Check out Billy's Favorite "Board Games." http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor13/survivors/fav_billy.shtml

Quick question for the EN World gurus: A 10th-level cleric casts an empowered Cure Moderate Wounds spell. A regular Cure Moderate Wounds spell would heal 2d8+10 points of damage. For simplicity's sake, let's assume that both d8 rolls are 5s (5+5+10 = 20 points healed). The Empower Spell feat...

I know that if a sorcerer or wizard uses a Summon Monster spell to call in reinforcements for a fight, those critters aren't counted for experience point awards (since the spells are part of the caster's attack repertoire). Does the same thing hold true when a tanar'ri uses its racial power to...

Are there any rules that deal with the effects of a creature using a shield made for something smaller than itself? If someone could point me to such rules, I'd appreciate it. I'm particularly wondering if a Large creature using a medium tower shield should still suffer the -2 penalty to its...

It's on page 61 of the August issue (#191). It's a full-page ad showing a human warrior with a big shield and shining axe battling through a sea of baddies. The caption is: "We Invented Godmode." The smaller print down at the bottom of the page reads: "This is where RPGs started. Character...
