    D&D 4E 2 handed weapons do not seem to multiply STR bonus in 4E.

    Hey, maybe this means that the sword and shield will be a viable combination now!

    Magic Fist Unarmed Strikes?

    Does the Amulet of Mighty Fists make your attacks magical? This amulet grants an enhancement bonus of +1 to +5 on attack and damage rolls with unarmed attacks and natural weapons.

    Your DM is acting within the rules.... rule 0 that is!

    Which WotC settings in 4th Edition?

    My vote goes to Dragonlance. Some of my best gaming moments have been in that setting, although I am not sure how well it would translate to 4e given the systems emphasis on pulp action. Regardless, Dragonlance seems very 'retro' to me and would be more likely to attract all of those 1st and 2nd...

    Help me pick a grad school

    I haven't been to either place, but it might be a good idea to base your educational choice on something other than the gaming in the area.:P I'm not sure if there have been any studies on which geographic areas in the US are more or less popular with gaming, but I did notice that a few...

    Seeking game in Denver/Boulder

    Thanks for the suggestions! I shall look into any local advertised games at said stores, should I not find any others here. Tabletop gaming seems to be popular in the area.

    Seeking game in Denver/Boulder

    Hello fellow gamers! I will be moving to Colorado next month and I am seeking to hopefully secure a spot in a funtastic d20 game in the area. About me- I am a creative professional in my mid-20s and have been into tabletop role-playing games for about 10 years. I am seeking an established group...

    Looking to join a game in Pittsburgh!

    I am looking to join a game in the Western PA area, preferably close to Pittsburgh. I would prefer any kind of d20 game, but that is just because I am most familiar with that system. I am willing to try others if you are willing to teach. I'm more of a social gamer, so I'm up for just about any...

    Brain in a Jar ECL

    The comparison was between a 1st level wizard Brain in a Jar to a 10th level human Wizard.

    Brain in a Jar ECL

    How's a Brain in a Jar going to be a Wiz1? It can't use verbal, somatic, and probably material components. :P It would easier to make it a psion. Isn't there at least some negative ECL adjustment for lack of hands or body? I don't have Savage Species to check. I recall there being an online...

    Brain in a Jar ECL

    Nope. Planescape. Maybe a +5 would be more suitable. You still have to consider that no being able to manipulate objects and having no attacks are pretty major drawbacks. It also can't carry or wear objects that weigh anything because it has no strength score. This means that it can't even wear...

    Brain in a Jar ECL

    Well, it has 3HD and a bunch of psionic powers. Its a tiny undead, it can fly, and has blindsight and telepathy. +6 int and cha, +4 dex, +2 wis Naturally, since it has no real body, it has no attacks whatsoever and has no str or con. The only way it can manipulate objects is thought telekenesis...

    Brain in a Jar ECL

    I'm thinking of playing the "Brain in a Jar" monster from Libris Mortis for an upcoming Planescape game. This monster was never intended as a playable race, but I'm sure it can be done. Eventually my plan would be to embed myself in some sort of golem or other construct. Think 'Krang' from the...

    Yes. Throw Spirited Charge in there and it gets sick.

    What is your most trivial house rule?

    The only house rule we have is that Hit-point dice are rolled by the player and secretly by the DM. If the player doesn't like his roll, he takes the DM's roll, whatever it is.

    Dice Survivor, Round IV

    d6 because it is too common. I want really fancy dorky dice to play with. I have a feeling that the d20 is going to win.. :)

    Worst Feat Ever

    Would Weapon Specialization(Net) allow you to do 2 points of damage every time you hit someone with a net? Not really that useless it if it does. :)

    Weapon Proficiency

    Keep in mind that while a weapon proficiency is good for all sizes of weapons, characters still suffer a cumulative -2 penalty to attack rolls per size catagory different from their own.

    Warforged Bonus languages

    I think any nice DM would just let them have Draconic as a bonus language, but by the RAW, the only way to get it is to spend 2 skill points to put a rank in Speak Language(Draconic). Are you sure the fastplay character didnt spend the skill points on this?
