    (LRF) Escape from Sembia *spoilers*

    I ran this today and was completely underwhelmed. If you saw my previous thread I'm real new to running 4e, but know how to run a mod. This was... bad. With only the barest skeleton of a plot (not even one of those skeletons with cool powers) I had to fluff it and make sense of 'they ninja'd...

    D&D 4E Needing a crash course in 4e to DM

    Ok, I need to grasp 4e in about 2 weeks. I'm still on 3.5 myself, but have opted to run a 4e module for... reasons. What're the big differences, are minis strongly suggested, these kinds of questions I need answered. Also need information on LFR and how that modifies straight 4e.

    Reworking Favored Enemy and 'Precision' damage

    Preamble (or Ramble, I'll point out where I get to game theory). Maybe I should've worded it the other way around, but I submit that both work on the same (or at least similar) principle. Both the Ranger and Rogue fight more effectively against certain targets due to a knowledge of their...

    Time for traps!

    I haven't seen a traps thread around here for some time, and considering the fiddly way WotC handles them I figured it better to just to play it by ear. This is one of my all time favorite traps, that I've sprung on unsuspecting parties. That's not Jell-o! After vanquishing the black dragon...

    So... about sunder...

    I've seen the great Sunder threads pop up so often I've become curious. Does anyone actually use Sunder? I know I've had it used on one of my characters because he had the only weapon worth a damn in that fight, but it's one fight in at least 200 battles (and lord knows how many encounters...

    What's the color of Sonic?

    And no I don't mean the hedgehog. I've recently come across a Sonic addition to my weapon (oil of sonic weapon or some such) and thus need a corresponding die. At first I tried simply ruling out what wasn't already taken... Blue for Ice, Red for Fire, Green for Acid, Yellow for Electricity...

    Earliest Ki Blast

    As a Centaur (with their 4 HD and 2 LA) what is the earliest level I can get Ki Blast? I'm thinking it's 17+ as you need 8 BAB, (and two feats I plan to get as a monk) and a free feat, but I think I'm missing something.

    Little Help with a Forest Ranger?

    I've had a bizarre idea about a gardening/farming ranger with Plants as a favored enemy. I'm thinking adamantine spade and sickle with a gourd or canteen filled with herbicide for good measure. Aside from that, and a general goal of keeping farms and wilderness safe from 'weeds' (malicious...

    Magic Disruption can kill highest level spells?

    In Complete Mage the feat Magic Disruption forces the target magic user to make a Concentration check, or lose 2 caster levels for casting their current spell. IIRC you can not cast a spell if your caster level isn't sufficient to cast spells of that level. So my question is this: If using...

    Favored class after Reincarnate?

    I've recently been reincarnated (from a Human to a mountain dwarf), but I can not tell if my favored class changes based on the new race I've acquired. Do you change favored class with a change in race due to Reincarnate? Actually, a rundown on the entire process would be liked, all I can...

    How much BAB is a feat worth?

    If you could buy up your Base Attack Bonus with feats how much should it be worth?

    Lazy adventurer?

    I've got a character that I've decided to make very lazy. Now I've got him a Hand of the Mage for most minor tasks, and horeshoes of the zephyr (he's a centaur), so he doesn't have to swim. What else can I do to make sure he doesn't have to lift a finger outside of combat? Actually, anything...

    Focused Mind?

    The feat gives you a +2 when taking 10 or 20 on intelligence or intelligence based checks. I could have sworn that most if not all Int or Int based checks could not normally use the take 10/20 options. Am I mistaken, or is this just something for Elves with Skill Mastery?

    Redblade Skill Question.

    I've been making my own classes and have some up with a problem I can't quite figure out. How do you give a class it's skillpoints? Every time I've tried I wind up with a class that gives the minimum of a skill point per level.

    What are the most useful languages?

    I've made a big mistake. But that's a whole other thread. I'm currently playing a multiclassed character in Living Greyhawk, and very glad that I'm Human. At 6th level I've now got 4 classes (4 levels in 'skillmonkey' and 2 in 'buttkicker'), and am the definitive skill monkey with Jack of All...

    Academic Life?

    I've been playing with the idea of allowing the teaching of skills I believe are important, but are often underrepresented in games. Thus attending classes at a university is an acceptable way to increase craft, knowledge, and profession skills. What would you do with this idea?

    Prophet's Blood

    Just outside the halls of Thomas' Tumbler, on the veranda under the mace and scripture a few ranchhands congregate. They talk of their animals, including a single prize bull that's sitting beside the veranda ready to be sold. A wandering merchant has come to see the ranchhands, several aides...

    Within the valley a few days travel from the ocean a tension fills the air. Several groups including anarchists, holy men, and, dissidents seek change within the Great Kingdom.
