    Curse of the Crimson Throne Conversion

    Yeah, I read through that before I came here to post, actually. There's not much there, unfortunately. Really just the very first encounter. I was hoping for something more than that. Anyone seen anything else out there? Shannon

    Curse of the Crimson Throne Conversion

    So, I'm going to be teaching a few people to play D&D and I would like to start out using 4th edition - but I am DYING to run then through Curse of the Crimson Throne because it's just such an awesome storyline! Has anyone done a decent conversion of CotCT to 4E that they've made available on...

    Eladrins, Tieflings, Dragonborn Too Far Outside Standard Fantasy?

    I guess I don't see the elves of Tolkien as being Eladrin - they're elves. And I guess I don't see general asian fiction and poor video games to be a staple of the fantasy genre. Dragonlance had the draconians as a race of minions specific to that world - and that's fine for a world-specific...

    Eladrins, Tieflings, Dragonborn Too Far Outside Standard Fantasy?

    How many of you feel that races such as Eladrins, Tieflings, and Dragonborn are too far beyond the scope of standard fantasy fare to be included as base races? Personally, I can't think of a single classic fantasy story that involved eladrins, tieflings, or dragonborn and I resent them being...

    BattleMaps and D&D Insider

    Or you could use MapTool for free and create maps that are nicer than a battlemat and faster, too. That makes it pretty cost effective.

    Is a short sword a light blade?

    Additionally, Rogues have a "First Strike" class feature granting them Combat Advantage against any creature that has not yet acted in the fight so if the rogue were to sneak up behind a mo-fo and launch an attack from surprise, the rogue would most certainly deliver sneak attack damage in the...

    Sleep. Sleep! SLEEP!

    But the Rouse failed his save so he should continue to be slowed. The original poster is correct that Morrus is no longer affected because he was hit but then successfully made his saving throw (rolled 10 or higher), mearls is asleep because he was hit and then failed his first saving throw...

    Why are healing surges limited?

    Page 6 of the quick-start rules and again on page 12 of Keep on the Shadowfell, "Once per day, you can take an extended rest. It must last at least 6 hours to gain the benefits. You have to rest or sleep during this period."

    My KOTS experience [spoilers]

    This would seem to be something remedied by using a virtual tabletop (VTT) such as MapTool or (presumably) the one that will come with the PHB. As a MapTool user, this wouldn't be a problem in my games at all. Paladin marks the Dragonshield? Put a blue aura around them both so you can easily...

    Why are healing surges limited?

    I'm not sure what you mean when you say that there's never a reason to consider whether taking an extended rest is a good idea. There is ALWAYS a reason. The question the PC's would ask themselves is, "Do we want to take an extended rest or do we want to actually get something done today...

    CA, San Diego - Looking to fill out group for new SCAP

    I'll be running the Shackled City Adventure Path (SCAP) set in Greyhawk (D&D 3.5) and I'm looking for a few more players to round out the group. The game will be hosted in the Mira Mesa area, most likely on Friday nights but that's not set in stone yet. Please feel free to email me at...
