How balanced would it be for a daily utility power to remove the component cost of a ritual spell of equal level or lower? I was looking at the list of ritual spells and it seems that for the most part rituals seem well balanced to me, about equal in power to a normal Wizard utility power of...

Hey all. Not really sure where to post this, but I'm giving away my copy of The Village of Hommlet 4e adventure that WotC gave out to RPGA DMs a while back. I wasn't using it, so I figure it was either this or put it up on ebay. Details at Familiar Ground - D&D Free Village of Hommlet 4e...

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (D&D Never Split the Party) Interesting. Seems like WotC is trying new ways to get in the news. I heard about this from a local radio station.

With the Assassin preview in DDI, we get a taste of the Shadow power source. What unifying theme do you think the Shadow Power source will have? For example, Arcane seems to give all classes with that power source a touch of controller and Divine gives a touch of leader (as well channel...

Do you play RPGs at conventions? What types of games do you play and why? The reason I ask is that I play a lot of WotC RPGA Living Campaigns. It's a good alternate to home games for those with busy schedules. I can play one character and go anywhere in the world and find a table relatively...

Here is a short list of encounter powers in 4e that I think need fixing. #5 Unicorn’s Touch (Arcane Power, Swordmage Utility 6) – This power allows healing without using any healing surges. Surgeless healing isn’t supposed to be that common at these levels, and most healing powers like this at...

Is everyone satisfied with the selection of at-wills available for their class? I'm not talking about the limit of two at-wills you get (three for humans), but rather the selection you can choose from. It's a fact that at-wills will pretty much define your playstyle for a large part of your...

I've made some very simple print and play maps that others might be interested in. Feel free to download, save, change or distribute them as you see fit. Familiar Ground » D&D Downloads It's nothing fancy. Basically, it's just black and white maps with simple drawings that you can print out...

Hello all. I just launched my new webcomic http://www.enworld.org/forum/publishers-press-releases/253571-launch-new-rpg-fantasy-webcomic.html The site is at Familiar Ground I need some opinions. So far, the only suggestions I've had were from other webcomic creators and a close circle of...

I'm wondering what reasons people subscribed to DDI for. Character builder? Rules Compendium? Dragon Magazine? Dungeon Magazine? Future content? What content are you actually using? Just curious. Cedric

I have a game coming up where I plan on using some form of horror rules for a variant 4e session. I'm looking for tips on horror mechanics you've used for any system, and hopefully I can adopt it somehow to 4e. What system did you like best, and why? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A friend and I were having a discussion as to which is preferable, a bonus to hit or a bonus to damage. I thought I saw someone do an analysis where it showed that a bonus to hit is preferred as long as you're not hit capped (i.e. you would only miss on a 1 vs. level appropriate foes). He says...

I have some opinions on this, but I want to see what others think before I chime in. The GSL has some good things and some bad things for game publishers. There are a few annoying things, like not being able to put monster stats from the MM (or even reference a page number). Then there are...

I've placed an NPC that likes to thow insults (imp trapped in a magic circle) for my next game session that I'm running. I need help coming up with a slew of game appropriate insults to throw at my PCs. Something like, "you can't hit the broadside of a barn if it was prone and you had a...

Do you remember those choose your own adventure books growing up? The one where you read a short story per page, then at the end of the page you get several choices and turn to the page corresponding to your choice? Well the 4e DMG has instructions and advice for playing with few players or...

I've looked at the FAQs stickied on this forum, but they are extremely out of date. I don't expect to quit my day job, but I want to know how much money and effort I should expend on a PDF product to break even. Would it make better sense for a new writer to try to work with existing...

I'm fine with the cleric in the PHB. It fits the defender of the faith type character very well. However, I also wanted a cleric that didn't have to always attack to aid his allies. The current cleric concept also prohibits pacifist type characters (not that such characters were well...

I was bored with a few hours to spare so I made the following. It's rather lengthy so I'm only putting a little bit here. Racial feats and a more proper description is in the attached PDF. Blessed Inheritors of a divine legacy, they shine like beacons in the darkness...

Someone commented on another thread that classes don't need to meet armor proficiency Str/Con prereqs if the proficiency is granted by their class. I can't find any rule that justifies that stance however. The only thing I can find is that armor/weapon proficiencies granted by the class are to...
