I sat down with the DM this past weekend and we talked it over. I tried to encourage what he is trying to do and just told him to roll with it. The idea is that you start with a race template. Cherry pick what you like for the races, the stats that work well with the character you have in...

I need some advice here. I am trying to help a fellow DM out. The DM in question wants to start a 4E game where you have access to EVERYTHING. You basically choose your race and then at level one you can take any power, from any class - as long is it fits your level. You wouldn't even have...

In comparisson: The PC with the Crit bow described above plays two PC's. A paladin with a +3 Inspiring/Frost Broadsword and the ranger with the crit bow also has a +3 Distance/Lightning Longbow. (The DM has given this player some custom weapons by combining lower level properties.) My PC's...

Perhaps this is just item jealousy in action but last night our DM gave our Ranger a +2 magic Longbow with a Daily power that concerned me. (I think it was a custom item, not sure though maybe it does exist...) The Daily power is a Free Action to allow any hit by the bow to become a critical...

I agree with Camelot. A recent communication I had with WOTC Customer Service seems to back it up but take that for what it is worth. The question/answer can be found in this thread. http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/264110-swit-charge-question-2.html

Speaking of WOTC Customer Service, I recently submitted a similar question to them regarding this very topic. I ended my question with a situation that occurred in a game I play in where a player wanted to hold his swift charge and do it later.... Customer service was vague about it though...

I totally agree with your philosophy, and as such propose a similar one. As a DM I have the right to expect the basic rules of the game to be followed, that's why we play a game that has rules to begin with. The player is also an arbiter but an arbiter that should be expected to know the rules...

The player is trying to get the best out of his powers and you can't fault a guy for that. But ya, he is trying to gain benefits from his power by utilizing his ready an action in an odd way. Example of another scenario: The Paladin PC (played by player in question) wanted to utilize So he...

You are correct on your assumption in your first paragraph. I also totally agree with your second paragraph and see no reason why that would not be ok either. The thing is the player wanted to basically use the effect without even rolling, assuming it happened before the attack. I explained...

Holly hell! I admit the thread title is off-base. It should be "Is the DM's decisions in game worth arguing over in game." Or something along those lines.... The player just thinks the rule that the DM is the arbiter is lame and will not respect it at the table. Like I said he is the only...

To clarify we are good friends but we can butt heads from time to time in game. Everything is fine once the dice are scooped up off the table but it seems that all of our games recently have been riddled with strife.

EDIT: New thread title: Do you accept the DM's decision at the table? I have a real rule nazi as a player and he pompously declares almost every game that as a DM, my word is never final. Rules are rules and if there is an ambiguous situation where the DM has to make a call, the player kinda...

I know you can only apply cursed or sneak attack damage once per round but do they bot apply if a PC is a Warlock multiclassed in Rogue w/sneak attack? i would assume they would but am having a debate that needs to be settled.

In H1 Keep on the Shadowfell supplement for Forgotten Realms conversion one of the Shar servants has Recharge, y,z. What does this mean? I know that usually you recharge with a d6 roll - i.e. 5, 6.

Actually, as I understand it from Manual of the Planes, The Shadow Plane is just a shadowy duplicate of the Material Plane with certain varying degrees of difference - but in whole, is very similar to The Material Plane. So if you cast the spell underground, then you would still be underground...

The spell says you travel normally at 50 mph on the verge of the shadow and material plane. The shadow plane is just a shadowy material plane that may differ in areas but is relatively the same. ( as I understand it) The "traveling normally" is what confuses me. "The effect is largely...

When casting Shadow Walk, do you move through objects? I guess I am not certain about exactly how you travel via the spell. i.e. If casting in the Underdark, can you Shadow Walk to the surface through stone? Would this also thwart the faerzness (impedes teleportation) effect of the Underdark?

Line of sight and line of effect - this is confusing me.

Looks like a great place. Hey guys and gals, just signed up. Can't wait to look around. Thx for the cool site.
