There's a thread on the new errata, and I read the first couple pages of it, but I really just want to discuss Magic Missile here. First, I really dislike the new changes. I'll just leave that out in the open so I don't surprise anyone. Making it auto-hit was... odd, but Ok, I guess. So it's...

By way of example, let's use the level 3 Warlock encounter power, Fiery Bolt. To really drive home the point, let's use a magic Cinder Wand + 2. That means it'll do an additional 2d6 fire damage + 1d10 damage on a crit, and +2 to damage rolls on fire attack powers. The question is, how is...

I decided to introduce my players to the Paragon tier by dropping them into the Astral Sea. One of the first things that happens to them is that they are discovered by a small group of Quom who determine that their sorcerer has a shard of Likal in his head. The Quom immediately move to capture...

I made a map of an "astral" schooner. I'm no artist, and I used Paint of all things, but I couldn't find an appropriate map and I wanted something I could print out without using up too much ink. I put "astral" in quotes because aside from the requirements of my setting, it may just as well...

Back when PHB 2 came out, one of my players immediately made a greatspear-wielding Warden. She currently has a controlling greatspear, which increases her pull and push effects by 1, and once per encounter can slide instead of pull or push. At the time, we debated the odd range of Thorn...

While there aren't many cursed items in 4e, they do exist in Thunderspire Labyrinth, as the Face of Baphomet, Bloodhorn Blade, and Bell of Fury's Calling. Does Transfer Enchantment transfer the curse as well? After the enchantment has been transferred, can the original (theoretically still...

Forked from: Should the Greatsword be d12? I've seen a lot of these types of questions, and a while ago I made a spreadsheet to help me answer these kinds of questions. I'll post it here now for everyone's benefit. The spreadsheet takes an attack bonus before adding proficiency and a target...

I'm looking at the latest Dragon feature, Character Concepts, and I've noticed an odd section: The way I read this is that Germain, having taken Novice Power at level 4 to get Burning Hands, now, at level 7, also gets Color Spray. At least, the author did not mention that Burning Hands has...

These are the maps I made for running Keep on the Shadowfell. They are PNG's so that they won't suffer from jpg errors. Each image is an 8x10 section, and although they are numbered by their encounter area it can be a bit of a puzzle to piece them all together. You'll definitely need to have...

I decided to make a Tiefling Warlord for KotS. I used the KotS format, and it came out pretty well, except I need a Warlord Utility 2 and Encounter 3. Take a look, tell me what you think!

I've been working up a campaign to play when 4e comes out, and I've come across an interesting dilemma. Unlike in Indiana Jones, when the characters take the nifty artifact from the temple, it does not collapse around them. I suppose magical ones might, but most do not, and are probably not...

I was looking at the character progression, when it occurred to me that with all the Wizard powers in the PrRC, that I might be able to craft a character above level 1. It turns out, we're missing a lot at low levels, so in order to do this I had to choose a high enough level to have most of...

I've recently completed writing up this little adventure that I ran with some friends last weekend. It uses a bunch of various 4e monsters and concepts, and we all had a great time running through it! Originally, I was reading a bunch of stuff about the Scalegloom Halls, and then I decided to...
