Make your history unique and significant! Do you find yourself choosing the same old background over and over, because it never really matters during play? Is your character disconnected from their past? Does your character begin play as a blank slate because they have no real history or...

So, I love playing Arkham Horror - but I find that it's hard to bring everyone together for a few hours of playing. I've given some thought as to how I might play online with people, but I wasn't sure that would be as satisfying. To add some dimension, I think it might be fun to play the game...

So, while fighting some Grey Wolves, several party members spent a decent amount of time faceplanted in the dirt. All that prone-action caused some confusion. First, being prone has no effect on your ability to attack, although you do so at a penalty. Does this mean that you still threaten...

So, I'm setting up a few undead encounters for my level 1 party. I began looking at the minions for zombies and skeletons. At first, I was unsure about including multiple level 3 creatures (even though they're minions) in the encounter - but then I compared the level 3 Zombie Rotter to the...

So, I got a chance to quickly browse through the PHB. The only thing I really had much trouble with was the way Wizard spells are handled. First, it seems that by class ability, you gain two Daily and Utility spells in place of the usualy one, but you can only choose one per day. But what...

So, we had planned to switch to Fantasy Grounds tomorrow at our game. I've done all the prep work, and now all we need is to get the client up to date, since we're using all the new features of Fantasy Grounds 2. Only problem is http://www.fantasygrounds.com isn't there anymore. I'm assuming...

So, there are a number of small games that I'd like to fiddle with while at work. :) Of course, they don't let just anyone install programs on the work computers. Does anyone know of a method by which you can run programs that need to be installed off of a USB stick? Alternativley, does...

I'm just now getting into this RSS thing, and it seems kinda cool. So, is there an RSS feed for the forums here at EN World? Is that sort of thing even possible? It seems like it would be awesome! You could set it to monitor the Titles from new posts, and perhaps include the blurb that pops...

Okay, for some reason, our group has been under the impression that you can't move through a friend's square when that friend is in melee. However, I've just discovered a small paragraph at the bottom of PHB page 147: "You can move thorugh a square occupied by a friendly character unless you...

I have a question: Does magical armor resize to fit any character? Would a +1 suit of leather crafted for a 'small' goblin magically fit a 'medium' human? Thanks!

So, I'm looking to spice up my d20 D&D game. I ran some Hackmaster a while back, and I liked the flavor of the Critical Hits tables. So I decided to convert the HM tables into D20! >:D I'm prettymuch done, with the exception of figuring out how to handle the severe head hits. But I was...

So, this came up in last weeks game, and I'd like some feedback. Here's the situation: Players are attacking a hobgoblin warren. Three players have gone down the 20ft hole already, one (the druid) is left at the surface, and cannot see what is going on in the hole. Two of the three players are...

Somewhere, I saw an excel sheet that helps calculate the difficulty of an encounter based on the party. I can't seem to find it now. Does anyone know what it was called, or where it can be found? Thanks!

Is this a good place to test my signature? For some reason, it seems to not be working. For a while it did - and then it stopped. I've got back into it several times and resaved it, but nothing seems to be working. Unless of course it works this time. Let's see: Okay, it seems that...

Somewhere there's a ranger variant that doesn't use spells. I can't find it however - too many books! I thought it was in UA, but it wasn't there. So, does anyone know where it is? I think it's a WOTC product, if that helps. Thankls!

I'm considering the option of Magic Ratings from UA in the campaign I'm about to revive. I was wondering if others had used the system, and what you thought of it. Or if you considered it, and then decided not to use it. Does it crank up casters too much? Is it balanced fine? Is it more...

So, lets say the party's mage cast Otto's Irresistable Dance on one dragon, and another dragon cast Freedom of Movement on the first dragon? Does the FoM negate the Dance? Can the dragon just move now, but can take no other actions? Or is Otto's Dance not a "movement restricting" spell...

In my game, there's a bit of a question on DR x/epic. Does this mean you need a weapon of +6 or more to beat the DR, or that you only need a character who's level is 21st or more? Thanks!

SJ Games is working on an online store to sell their product in PDF form ( http://e23.sjgames.com/ ). In the latest Daily Illuminator Steve mentions the DRM firestorm going on here, and other boards: - see the rest here: ( http://www.sjgames.com/ill/ ) Hmm. It looks like WW is likely going it...

Ok, so if you Maximize a spell, (say Burning Hands) then it fills a slot 3 levels higher - in this case, a 4th level slot - but it remains a 1st level spell for DCs and whatnot. What if you have Heighten Spell? Can you also Heighten it to 4th level so you get the benefits of the Maximize...
