I am trying to blend 3.5 and 4.0 to make 3.75 (kinda like the Star Wars system)... but in doing so have run across a few problem children, one of which is Defensive Roll... I cannot figure out if there is already a working method for it or not in 4th, cannot find reference of it, etc... If...

I can barely get through the internet's D&D sites without seeing builds and play experiences with all sorts of other classes (rangers, rogues, avengers, clerics, warlords, etc etc) But I never see anything about Invokers... Are there any people out there who have experience playing Invokers...

First off, I cannot seem to find a search function on here, so cannot go back through older posts =( I am trying to make my first Avenger, and it needs to hold down a high DPR count... Typical combat is two or three people on big mobs, 1 on smaller mobs, no mobs run away really, maybe...

My first time doing this in a LONG time... but the character is more about flavor than about mechanics and efficiency, was looking to get some ideas on builds/style here... (try to be as efficient as possible, but some loss in efficiency is expected) The campaign idea is simple: We are...

I remember seeing somewhere, some abilities that referenced having less healing surges... IE. +1 Damage for every healing surge you have spent since your last extended rest. Dunno where I saw them though, and have checked the dragon's, dungeon's, books, and compendium... But I know I saw...

PHB 59 Definition of Zone: (with a few things left out that are for examples) "The zone keyword applies to powers that create lingering effects that extend over an area... Unless otherwise specified, a zone fills a power's area of effect. Use the standard rules for areas of effect to determine...

I was wondering if anyone had worked on a handy dandy sheet of all sorts of miscellaneous info: like when combat advantage is given, what DC's and tasks can be performed using skills, etc etc... Trying to make my own little folder that has my character sheet (thanks Kiznit, I think that is his...

Well, I accidentally TPK'ed my group =/ So now I am playing instead of running. The DM has given us freedom of Race/Class/etc so long as it is in one of the accepted areas (Core, Dragon Mag, Dungeon Mag, whatever)... He runs a game that is very open in style, where bluff and insight are very...

I am trying to figure this out, because it seems very buggy to me... Two situations to deal with... 1: A Rogue sneaking through a castle, comes to a grand hall with pillars set every once in a while, torches on each, some shadows, but not many. He starts stealth in a nice area, successfully...

Planning an encounter with some undead and oozes... Only ways into room are from above, north, and south, there is also a caved in aqueduct to the east. The room is filled with water. it is approximately 50x50 in size, with a 20 foot ceiling. Description: In a cistern of water underneath the...

DM's guide says easy way to make a monster elite is to add a template, make a solo by adding two templates... Small selection of templates in DM's Guide, and one or two more in forgottent realms books... but are there any others out there that are official?

I know this is prolly an easy question to answer, but since all implements(except staff) are obviously very light items:rods, wands, orb, holy symbol... is the staff also considered a 1H implement? I know it "can" be used as a quarterstaff, but if the wizard just wants to use it as an...

Wizard is listed as a controller, but I do not see a great deal of push/pull/slide in their repertoire. Mostly just low damage abilities with AoE capability, long ranges, and some minor de-buff style effects. Which makes them 2nd in controlling to someone like a Swordmage(a defender!), 4th in...

Just a simple question for other DM's out there on monster creation/usage I am thinking of maybe making a few special enemies using the PHB for creation versus using the DM's Guide. I have always been a big fan of fine tuning and tweaking my specials to make them exactly what I want them to...

This is to get a feel for whether this is a good idea or not: Since we have Initiate feats that give a "splash" of flavor but do not really give what is needed for paragon paths, my players and I have come up with a possible way to alleviate the issues: Initiate feat gives the first splash ->...

I see so many monsters with marking abilities... What do these do? What are the effects?

I know it says if a creature if forced into dangerous terrain (pit/lava/etc) it gets an immediate saving throw to attempt to stay safe, but falls prone if successful... If the creature in question is already prone from rolling a successful save due to forced movement, and it is forced again in...

Would this be too powerful for a group of 6 1st lvl's? The encounter will have some other mobs there also... a Hobgoblin Warcaster, an Orc Raider, a Goblin Skullcleaver, a Gnoll Huntmaster, 2 goblin cutters, 2 orc drudges, 2 hobgobling grunts, and a hyena. Sounds like an awful lot, but with 6...
