    Looking for game- north central CT (Hartford/Windsor/Enfield); 4e or 5e

    So I'm finally starting to have the time and the schedule stability to start looking for a tabletop group, but things seem a bit thin in this area. Looking for a group for some form of D&D (4e or 5e)- prefer a fairly mature/grown-up group, with at least some RP. Anyone out there?

    4th edition online resources?

    So, I used to have a DDI subscription, back when I was playing 4e pretty regularly- but I let it expire as 5e was coming out. Are the 4e compendium and other resources still available on line? Would I need to renew my DDI subscrption? Or CAN I still do that, with 5e taking center stage? If not...

    D&D 5E Prestige classes in Next?

    So way back in the days of 3e/3.5, one of the mechanics that came out in the DMG was the idea of prestige classes. In 4e, they were replaced (mostly) by the idea of paragon paths. So now that the 5e DMG is on the horizon, does anyone know if prestige classes are likely to be in there? Or are...

    D&D 5E Multiclassing and save proficiencies?

    Just a quick question, on my first read-through of the new PHB... It looks like, when you multiclass, you only get some of the proficiencies for the new class (PHB 164)- and none of the classes show any save proficiencies (only armor/weapons and maybe a skill or tool). Is that the correct...

    WotC Website?

    Not entirely sure where to put this- please move if necessary. For the past few days, I have been unable to access the Wizards of the Coast website (and thus the Compendium, among other things). Since I am trying to do character design work, this is sort of a bother. Is anyone else having...

    Unarmed combatant/2 weapon defense

    Does having the Two-Weapon Defense feat help when using the monk Unarmed combatant feature? It says that it makes unarmed strike a weapon in the unarmed category, but also says you must have a hand free to use it. Are you considered to have a weapon in hand (for TWF/TWD) or not? For...

    Battle Cleric's lore

    So I have seen this (class feature?) mentioned a few places, but I can't find an actual write-up for it. Even DDI Compendium search gives me nothing. Does anyone have the details, or know where I need to look to find them? Thanks.

    Proposal: Allow Expertise feat for class feature

    Situation: Under current house rules, Expertise feats are banned for basic character creation, and each character receives a free Expertise feat (player's choice) at 5th level. However, since that rule was adopted, at least one class/build has been released which receive an Expertise feat as a...

    D&D 4E 4e/Essentials compatibility?

    So I've been paying only a little attention to the whole Essentials line and appropriate debates (mostly as I don't have the money to purchase much product right now). With the holidays coming up, I might get some of the Essentials material as gifts, so I have a general question- how compatible...

    Combat virtuoso and Bard hybrids

    The Combat Virtuoso feat (from Arcane Power) allows bards to use their CHA bonus for attack rolls (but not damage) from attack powers gained through multiclassing, paragon multiclassing, and half-elf Dilettante ability. No mention is made of powers from the other half of a hybrid build- but...

    Spellscars= dragonmarks?

    So I just picked up the 4e FR book (along with Martial Power). In looking through that, I found the section on Spellscars- and it seems very much like what I might expect a 4e version of dragonmarks to look like when the Eberron supplement comes out. For the FR setting, most of the powers and...

    Dragon/DDI content for the Macintosh crowd?

    So, for the longest time, I wasn't sold on 4e, but I bought it anyway. Now I'm wondering, is there any way for us poor Macintosh-based players to get DDI/Dragon content? And if there isn't now, does anyone know if I have other options, besides waiting for things to show up in later print...

    Feat proposal- Extra Rage (CompWar)

    I'm working on putting together my first LEB character proposal, and so far I'm thinking of some flavor of barbarian multiclass combination. I would like to put forward a proposal for the Extra Rage feat from Complete Warrior.

    Vacation (Yes, again)

    Just to let my GMs and fellow players (3 games worth now) know, I'll be leaving shortly from the civilized environs of Boston to the far-away, near-mythic land of Oregon. I expect to return in a week (Saturday, July 14th, late)- but unlike last time I have a much more relaxed schedule and...

    Out of town

    Now that I'm actually in more than one game here, I figured a notice was in order. I'll be out of town from early Friday (June 22) until late Monday (June 25) for a friend's wedding. I don't know if I will have net access- and I will be busy/driving for a large part of the time. I'll get back...
