From my experience, it doesn't take much to provoke a reaction like that. Who knows what's actually happening right now? The landscape has changed a lot since then. But it seems relatively clear that the only way custom magic item and power cards will happen is if we tell builder how to...

This is no knock on the developers that work on Builder, as I believe they have all given a lot of effort and have put out a good product despite apparently severe restrictions on budget and time. It seems to me that their XML output closely reflects the internal data structure of their...

For healing: The Bloodied value does not seem to be in the XML -- you just need to do the math. The Surges per Day value was already mentioned above. The Healing Surge Value stat is only the *bonus* to the characters surge value (you have to add 1/4 HP to it to get the actual surge value)...

As originally presented, +2 prof. and d6/d6 damage, with no properties other than the standard Double ones (Defensive and OffHand), it seems kind of weak for a superior double 2H weapon. It's much weaker than any of the four double weapons in Adventurer's Vault (see the Double sword for closest...

The interior font of the 4E books looks to be Mentor. The sans serif font used in tables seems to be Method Sans.

I'm no expert, but I think you can go either way, but if you want honest feedback, I would prefer a texture that is roughly uniform brightness (all relatively dark or all relatively light). The bark texture you have is artistically very nice, but there are parts of it that are relatively light...

According to the "Adaptation" section (page 20) of the Swordsage class in the Book of Nine Swords: "To create a monklike character with a tremendous array of fantastic moves and strikes, give the swordsage the monk's unarmed strike progression and remove his light armor proficiency." I am...

Stevelabny has correctly solved the puzzle. Congrats! I will still verify correct answers for anyone else that wants to try.

Hints above updated to help those further along with the puzzle. The hints are now numbered -- if you want to try to figure things out on your own, highlight each hint, one at a time, until you have enough information to continue.

I'm not trying to be all that clever on this one. Here are some hints (spoiler text below) 1. The puzzle is a word search, of course. 2. Soveliss is a ranger, right? The flavortext suggests that his nemeses are hiding in the letters. 3. The puzzle has to do with favored enemies. 4. The...

Has anyone tried the puzzle yet? If you can get stuck, I can send you a hint.

Also, if you are interested in the contest but are not sure about how much time you can commit, please post anyway so I know. It will affect how I do the contest.

Okay, here is the sample puzzle I promised. Hopefully, this will whet everyone's appetite. The title of the puzzle is "ALE", and you will need one or more of the core D&D 3.5 books to solve it. This puzzle is probably between easy and medium difficulty. The answer to the puzzle is a single...

Perhaps I should clarify what I mean by "it will happen over the internet". What I meant was that it won't be held at a physical location, like at a con or something. The basic idea is this. The contest is a marathon puzzle solving competition where you compete against the other teams. All...

I don't know exactly how many puzzles there will be yet, but I suspect that it will be closer to the lower end of 25-50 than the upper end. For the MIT Mystery Hunt, the variety of puzzle material is enormous -- and the winner of the hunt gets no prize other then being able to host the next...

I have been thinking about having a D&D themed puzzle contest for some time now. The reason for this post is to try to determine how much interest there would be for something like this. I don't have all of the details worked out at the moment, but I can tell you a little bit about what I am...

Ugh. I wasn't really trying to make it complicated to begin with, but you bring up a valid point. I guess the charger goes first then, taking his AoO in response to the trip. Then the tripper goes next, taking his readied action to trip. (At this point, the charger may or may not be prone...

That's the real crux of the issue, isn't it? It seems everyone agrees that the charging attacker still gets his attack, but there are several interpretations on what condition the attacker is in (prone or not, still charging or not) when he finally gets to resolve his original charge attack...

{Double post}

I wasn't saying Person B doesn't get his attack -- I agree with you that he does (otherwise, charging would really suck). I just think that he is prone when he finally gets to make it (so he is forced to stab up from the floor, swipe at A's feet, ... something like that), cos he has already...
