    Inns in an Instant - New Dragon article for creating random inns turned into a quick web app.

    Hi all. Just thought I'd share a somewhat obscure link I found that you may find useful. It's an application that uses the Inns in an Instant article from December 2012's issue of 'Dragon.' It converts it into a quick generator you can run fairly quickly, and allows you to print off a whole...

    Wood Elves and Wild Elves - Different since?

    It's been a long time since hearing of the Wood Elves and Wild Elves back in 2nd edition, and somewhere along the way I must have mixed and merged them into the same thing. Someone recently pointed out to me that they're now completely different sub-races. How did I ever get these two mixed up...

    D&D 4E 5E Wishlist, and what failed about 4E

    For me, I'm not concerned so much with magic items, character classes, races or alignments, demons, devils, monsters or anything else. My problems and dreams are far simpler and very basic: Please deal with errata better. The next small section will be basically me ranting on the problems with...

    'Melee' powers and throwing melee weapons...

    Since Righteous Brand is a 'Melee' power, and my melee weapon is a Dwarven Thrower, and I can use Righteous Brand as a basic attack (Power of Skill feat)... that means whenever I'm granted a Basic Attack I can use Righteous Brand at range? Correct? Also, since Righteous Brand can now be used in...

    Move and then charge, or *only* charge in a round?

    In the Rules Compendium it says you can't take any *further* actions after charging. It clearly says that after you charge you cannot then do anything else (except a free action), which is fine. The problem is, it doesn't say you can't do a move action, and *then* charge as your standard. It...

    Where do devils go when they die (on the Prime Material)?

    As the subject. I remember in older editions they used to 'puff' go away, unless they were 'gated'... etc. I remember reading *somewhere* that they now just die. That's it. If that's so, could someone please point to the source as well? It's driving me crazy.

    Lava damage?

    I could have sworn I saw lava damage somewhere in one of the books. Someone fell into lava in our game last week and couldn't find out what the effects should be. Anyone remember? Plz post where you found it too if you don't mind. :)

    Player 1 'grabs and pulls' player 2, then claims it's 'Forced movement, no AtOp'

    So in our game tonight a player was stuck in a crack in the floor. He asks a fellow PC to pull him out. Next to him was a nasty Mummy. Because the other player pulled him, he claimed there should be no Attack of Opportunity because the other player 'forced' him to move. There was no power...

    Can you sleep in armour with no penalty?

    As the subject, this question came up in our last session, and as 3.5 has an annoying tendency to tamper with my rules memory bank, I couldn't find the reference though I know it existed in 3.5 for sure. In 4th Ed are you now able to sleep in your full plate without consequence / penalties?

    Is the Executioner underpowered, not a striker or both? (or am I missing something?)

    So I've rolled my supposed Striker and compared it to the other strikers, and I've come to the conclusion: Executioners suck (as Strikers). Let's be honest, their damage is hurting. Sure they have nice little tricks like shifting back and forth at will, silencing an enemy... the poison is cool...

    Armor of Repulsion - Useless?

    Armor of Repulsion - Minor Action. Whenever an enemy moves into an adjacent square, you can push that enemy 1 square as an immediate reaction. This power lasts until the end of the encounter. From what I can tell from the rules for Immediate Reactions, they don't interrupt (like an Immediate...

    Rant on Errata and what Wizards need to do to move forward.

    Let me get the rant out of the way. I have to say that I think I'm not going to be buying any WotC products for a very long time, especially books. It is book after book after book that have endless errata and half the time it seems nobody is even proofreading the material anymore. What are we...

    Old 4th Edition Dungeon Master's Screen

    Hi I only recently realized the Perception area of the 'Frequently Used Skills' table may be wrong. The DC's to listen to Whispers through a door add up to 20, whereas in the DMG and PHB they are at 25. Am I missing something or is this errata? I've looked through the errata pages and found...

    Goblin Hexer - Errata? Or just OP?

    So I started playing 4th Ed again and ran the FR intro module (from the CG) and realized the Goblin Hexer power Blinding Hex to be rather... strong. Not only is it vs Fort (horrible for casters) it also does a fair bit of damage at 2d6+1, AND it blinds! (even worse for casters who are now...

    Graveborn - What are they?

    I started reading Open Grave and noticed a quote in there that made a reference to graveborn, saying that Shadar-Kai sometimes will deal with them (as opposed to killing them outright). What are graveborn? Can't seem to find them anywhere.

    Poll: What is the best Warlock/Wizard implement? Orb/Staff/Rod/Wand?

    So I bought a pretty decent looking Tiefling Warlock/Wizard figure. Finally, the Reaper guys have started to ship PC class type minis with a *CHOICE* of implement/weapon. This particular Tiefling (they call them 'Hellsworn' I think, to avoid TM infringements...) came with: Orb Staff Wand (or...

    Prone then Teleport/Move (Slide, Pull) = Still Prone?

    If you're knocked prone and then use a teleport power, such as the Eladrin Fey Step or the Assassin various shadow walking abilities, are you still prone or can you choose to 'teleport' into an upright position? Is there anything official written on this?

    Open Grave: Constructs were or were not 'alive'?

    Page 7, 3rd paragraph "(This phenomenon is what makes it possible for creatures that were never alive, such as constructs, to become undead)" Page 9, 3rd paragraph "All undead were once living beings, in that they had a soul. Soulless constructs do not and cannot become undead." So... yeah...

    Using Portals : Touch or Step Through?

    I seem to remember reading that in order for a creature to use a portal, they merely needed to touch it. Can anyone remember where this is written in the books? Or am I mistaken and it's not the case? The question will come up when characters see a portal and try to poke through to see what...

    Do creatures/players always know consequences of their actions?

    The original question was: Do creatures know if the actions they take have negative consequences? My assasin attacked an Orc, the Orc retaliated with an immediate interrupt and knocked him back and prone, and my assassin lost his encounter power. The answer is on page 57. Above is exactly...
