    ENWorld blocking my Internet address!

    Not sure what he did but darjr fixed it! I'm thrilled to be typing this from home without having having to unplug my router. :) Thanks to everyone taking time to look into this and helping me out!

    ENWorld blocking my Internet address!

    Bummer, I was really hoping the traceroutes I sent you with and without the block would help pinpoint the problem. From my end all I see is the timeouts in the browsers at the last leg of the traceroute at the cyberstreet. As requested earlier in the thread I sent the same info to darjr today so...

    ENWorld blocking my Internet address!

    I'm back in Iowa from a vacation to the warmer parts of Florida and wanted to check in and see if anything had changed here. I know with the launch of D&D 5e this isn't a major priority for EN World but that's exactly why I really want to be able to visit EN World from home; so I can look...

    ENWorld blocking my Internet address!

    I'm at work and checking the front page. It hit me I hadn't seen any subscription replies to this thread so I wanted to follow-up on things. I sent the private message to Morrus directly. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks!

    ENWorld blocking my Internet address!

    Sent! I just sent Morrus a private message with all the info I have and the exact error messages I get using Safari and Firefox. Thanks

    ENWorld blocking my Internet address!

    I can send you a couple TraceRoutes that helped us figure out it was my IP. I'll have to do that tonight when I'm home since I don't have them here at work. While on the phone with my ISP and doing troubleshooting they finally had me unhook my router and hook my computer directly up to...

    ENWorld blocking my Internet address!

    Starting about 2 weeks ago I found I couldn't get to ENWorld on my computer or portable devices from home. At first I just thought the site was down for maintenance for a few days but then realized I could connect fine at work. I have been working with my ISP today troubleshooting the problem...

    Do You Read This News?

    I read this news summary near daily. I most appreciate the D&D/WotC updates and the Board game sections but have found most all the other categories interesting and/or useful at different times. Thanks for all your ongoing efforts!

    Battlerager Vigor damage bonus

    As the DM for the adventures a couple nights ago I'll jump in and try to answer this. Nail used Crushing Surge pretty much any time an at-will was used; basically every round he wasn't using an Encounter or Daily power. At level 5 that's about half of attacks for these two combats which I think...

    HELP! Avenger issue

    That'd be worth forking, IMO, Nail. I'd be curious too and very few are going to see this unless it's its own thread. Would you like to do the honors? :)

    HELP! Avenger issue

    Ouch, that's going to go to his head! :lol: ;)

    equivalancy table

    Maybe you can grow up to the governor of a very populated state as well! ;) I allowed Nail in my game to drop his scores below 8 since one of my few house rules is "choose your ability scores, before applying racial adjustments your mod total must equal +9" which allows people to get what they...

    D&D 4E Is character death acceptable in 4e? If so, how often?

    Which is pretty obviously something we all need to talk about more openly then. Your statement appears to put you in the role of spokesman for our group, but I'm only aware of a handful of quick comments by 2 or 3 of our 7 players on this subject as everyone is quickly gathering their stuff and...

    D&D 4E Is character death acceptable in 4e? If so, how often?

    Just to help steer things back on track, this is very much the direction I was hoping discussion would take us (and it has to a degree). I apologize if my initial post was not very clear in this regard. Thanks!

    D&D 4E Is character death acceptable in 4e? If so, how often?

    Or it could just be differing perceptions, DM or otherwise. ;) It is true that not one player has actually used the phrase you quoted, but there are frequent comments back & forth about "how many saves have you missed?", "how many hp do you have left?" and "do you have any ongoing damage on...

    D&D 4E Is character death acceptable in 4e? If so, how often?

    Thanks for the comments! You hit on part of why Nail & I have been discussing this. The party has been charged with finding out what happened to a lost caravan and tracked a couple of the wagons to a Hobgoblin cave. So far they've mainly fought disorganized goblins, various beasts and several...

    Expertise justification?

    Here it is. Thanks.

    D&D 4E Is character death acceptable in 4e? If so, how often?

    Forked from: Expertise justification? This is a good topic and deserves its own thread IMO. So here's some posts from the other thread before we decided to create this one: So what do people think? Or what have people experienced in their games? I don't think PC death should be common, but...

    Expertise justification?

    Thanks for the comment, kilpatds. But I want to ask you & anyone else like Nail who agrees with you: Should there be a middle option at the end of a tough battle between "Short Rest and we're probably good to go if nothing really mean is around the next corner" and TPK? In tough battles with...

    Expertise justification?

    Sorry I didn't see this earlier today, OG, busy day at work. :( I think that's probably it. I didn't adjust what Goodfellow put in his sheet and he picks up a +1 item at 2nd level, then +2 at 6th, +3 at 11th, etc. I think previously in this thread there was discussion that while it's possible...
