    Thoughts on running Death House

    Assuming that PCs start with 0 XP, there is no way to not be level 2 at the end of 4-1, and no way to level to 3 prior to the end of Death House, based on the 300xp/600xp awards at each "waypoint".

    Thoughts on running Death House

    Why couldn't a PC walk through the Mists at the end of 4-1, then play Death House and then continue on with either the Hardcover or 4-2? Why avoid the mists and do Death House in Faerun? Missing the logic. The levelling out I get (in theory)...there are ways around that too, I surmise.

    Thoughts on running Death House

    Hey Kalani, Can you find that quote from the Admins? Because that's not what I got from them. What I got was that it is strongly suggested that players choose one "track" or another (DDAL or the Hardcover) due to XP issues as well as story continuity. I never saw anything explicitly...

    Requesting Death House help - SPOILERS AHEAD - DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE NOT DMING

    It's clear that the PARENTS didn't forget about the kids. However, from the childrens' perspective, of course they forgot about them. Why else wouldn't they have come back for them. It's really, simply a matter of perspective. In this case, from a child's point of view.

    Check out the Season 4 Sneak Previews!

    I'd like, if possible, to be able to weave my players in and out between the hardcover and the AL mods. In the opinions of the Admins who might know better, is it possible to work out a progression to weave in and out between AL Season 4 Adventures and the hardcover on an ongoing basis, or is...

    Skerrit had said early on that it would be a modified XP award system. I can't assume what that meant.

    DDEX3-10 Quelling the Horde *Spoilers*

    Okay, nobody's mentioned the Incubus encounter. How did you all deal with that? There is NO scaling for lower level parties (it's a CR4 beastie). The *average* damage for the kiss is 32 hp, with no hope of Death Saves if you have fewer than 32 hp. Was this just an editing oversight? I had...

    Keeping track of bloodied, marked, etc...

    I grabbed an .89 package of multi-colored pipe cleaners at the craft store, cut them into thirds, and made rings out of them. Red is bloodied. Each player gets a color to signify their effect on the appropriate mini. Aside from the stack of 'fuzzy leis' that obscures a mini sometimes, it...

    Dragging a party member out of harm's way?

    Thanks Hellah and Shroomy, I 'd missed that. Simple solution. Covers a whole panorama of issues. Yay!

    Ranger - Twin Strike kick to the groin?

    Warpick weight: 6 lbs. Light Shield weight: 6 lbs. There is no discrete weight limit for a two-handed weapon that I can find. The heaviest listed is 12 lbs. A Heavy Shield is only 3 lbs. heavier. I don't get the logic quoted above.

    Dragging a party member out of harm's way?

    Right, we came up with the above option too... but if the PC chooses to be "helpless" then how long does the PC stay helpless? Until the beginning of it's next turn? The wizard didn't want to be helpless, as it was in danger. And then, if not "grabbed" and "moved while grabbed" but dragged...

    Dragging a party member out of harm's way?

    Hey all, How would you adjudicate this: Wizard is prone, still conscious and in harm's way. On the cleric's turn, he wants to pull the wizard out of harm's way. Wizard is willing. The rules as written allow an unconscious PC to be grabbed as an object (minor action) and moved (move...

    Does teleportation negate falling damage?

    PHB, pg. 284 "Same Move Action" Not what the RAW state. edit: that said, if you take two move actions in a turn, does it *have* to be considered a "Double Move"?

    Does teleportation negate falling damage?

    /facepalm Sure...okay, but that's not what the OP said happened... :)

    Does teleportation negate falling damage?

    Moot discussion on conservation of momentum? I don't know if this has been brought up, but the OP's initial question brings up a moot point... The PC in question needed to use a move action to get into the pit in the first place. Walk, run, crawl, shift, whatever...to then teleport would need...

    Just got the WotC 2008 Summer Catalog

    Deluxe Edition? So, I followed all the links and found this: http://www.amazon.com/Players-Handbook-Deluxe-Core-Rulebook/dp/0786950439/ref=pd_sim_b_title_10 Any word in the catalog about this one? What makes it Deluxe, beside the 100% price hike? :)
