It’s based on the book Wool (and the sequels) by Hugh Howey. But departs substantially from the books. I binged the first season. It’s good! Although like all streaming “prestige” shows, it’s very slow in parts. Hey, no need to edit down to 42 minutes for broadcast TV, right? I do think the...

(Why I am posting a 4e character optimization thread here in 2021? Because I was going through some old files, came across this, and felt the desire to share. Enjoy!) Eladrin Swordmage Advance (ESA) is a feat that allows you to make an MBA as a free action against an enemy you teleport adjacent...

Hail, old timers. I'm seeking an old thread and my search skills are have utterly failed me. The premise was, "What if illithids (mind flayers) are far-future aboleths?" Many time travel shenanigans ensued; a good time was had by all. I believe, but am not positive, that the thread starter was...

Why are some threads highlighted in yellow? I'm sure the answer is going to be something obvious and I'll feel stupid for asking, but at my age, I'm just glad I still remember the question I started with.

One of my players has asked for a drunken master-like paragon path. Mechanically, the character is a genasi rogue, but she's played as a libertine swashbuckler who is inebriated most of the time. The player wants her to get various boosts from the liquor she consumes, and/or sway around...

Playing a 4e Seeker-Ranger hybrid using throwing weapons modeled on MwaO 's miscibility table guidebook. Using battleaxe main-hand and handaxe off-hand, so far. Currently 3rd level. Game has turned out to be extremely magic item stingy for RP reasons, so this might be the last time my character...

My DM was kind enough to give each PC 'any Rare up to level 20'. But I'm suffering analysis paralysis and can't decide what to take. My character is a level 17 shadar-kai Avenger (Censure of Unity). He wields a Flail, and I am not interesting in changing this (for RP reasons), which restricts...

Hybrid Essential classes: must they take their Essentials-style Encounter power? Or can they choose an Encounter power from their parent class, even if the sub-class would never normally get real Encounter powers? The specific example I ran into is hybrid paladin (blackguard), which has this...

Assuming I timed this right, this is my 3,000th post at EN World. Yay, me! I'm no Crothian, but 3,000 posts is still a lot of jibber jabber. :)

We've all got stories about lousy customer service, but I'm here to tell you about SUPERB customer service I received from Fiery Dragon Games. Since the launch of 4e D&D, I've been using Fiery Dragon's Battlebox -- especially the Condition Counters. They are little plastic bases that hold...

My main 4e character, a 22nd level dragonborn paladin, has enough cash and favors accumulated that he can acquire several Rings. Question is, which ones? A related question: is it worth ditching his Strikeback (Encounter, make MBA when enemy hits you) to pick up the item (Many-Fingered Gloves)...

I've got a gift card burning a hole in my pocket, so which of the 4e planar books should I buy? And why? Manual of the Planes The Plane Below The Plane Above I almost exclusively play Living Forgotten Realms (LFR) these days, so none of the books will have any direct use to me. But I do like...

Can a mount wear more than one Mount item? For example, can a mount wear both horseshoes of speed and impenetrable barding? I realize this is an easily answered question... if I could find my Adventurer's Vault! I think I loaned it to a "friend".

I feel dumb asking this, but how do I hide the News Flash? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I'm sure the answer is blatantly obvious, but I can't figure it out.

The neo-Red Box (a/k/a the 4e Starter Set) is in my hands! Well, technically it's sitting on my desk in front of me while I type this, but you get the idea. I'm sure everyone pretty much knows what's in it by now, so I'll only comment a few things that I noticed: There's a small flyer titled...

Do you need a free hand to use a power with a range of melee touch? For example, the paladin power lay on hands has a range of melee touch. If the paladin is wielding a weapon and a heavy shield, he does not have a free hand. Can he still use lay on hands? (There are tons of other examples...

[Also posted on Circvs Maximvs, but posting here too because I'm vain.] I went to Origins for the first time in 10 years. It was a fun, for the most part. Here's what I did. D&D Living Forgotten Realms (LFR) They were premiering a lot of LFR adventures at Origins, so if I had wanted to, I...

I recently returned from the D&D Experience 2010 convention, where I played in ADCP 2-1 The Paladin's Plague, the first Living Forgotten Realms (LFR) "battle interactive". Here's a description of what happened. This is going to contain massive spoilers for the plot and mechanics of the event...

Slow (the condition that reduces your movement to 2) seems weak to me. Yet there are tons of powers that inflict Slow, and some classes seems to have Slowing as a major focus (Invoker, for example). What do I not get about this? Sure, occassionally you can Slow a melee monster at a distance...

I am absolutely sickened by the amount of hate being poured out in the various threads reacting to the Dragon and Dungeon magazine announcements, etc. Scott Rouse is getting crapped on for no real reason, simply because he was the unlucky one whose name was on a quote in a press release...
