    Races and Classes at a Very Casual Glance

    Fun list :) I wouldn't say a druid "casts like a wizard". although they broadly perform the same function, they feel and play very different. I'd say: they use the force of nature to control like a wizard.

    Astragoth blindly stares at the screen. "I'm sure there's a search button here somewhere", you can hear him mutter softly. please help! I'm looking for traps for my 7th lvl party (d&D 4th) but I can't find a search button.....

    My very first campaign

    Well, we kicked off. My own, self written campaign, with me as dm. I thought i'd like to say "thank you" to enworld. I've been a silent, passive member for 6 years, but Enworld has helped me a lot to start writing down my own ideas and to start out as DM so thumbs up to everyone :)

    Tips on using Good-Aligned Dragons...

    I once encountered a silver dragon at a banquet. She was, in fact, my partner at the table. I was there to use the library of the duke to look something up, and he invited me for the banquet and arranged a date for the evening, wich turned out to be a educated lady of around 40 years old. We...

    Inexperienced DM vs. MIN/MAX druid

    I'm a min-maxer. I am not ashamed to admit it. I have played druids on several occasions, and I love playing druids for one reason: they are very, very powerfull. I'll tell you this: allow him the phb and masters of the wild and nothing else. Do NOT give him a inch outside the rules. More than...

    Quintessential Monk

    well that's a sweet review.... I've always wanted to play a monk but always found it too challenging/weak at low lvls. I guess this book is a must have for me. I'm off to the book store. Cya!

    Vote your favorite Class

    I must say Druid.... perhaps because it's the hardest to kill class in the game. The versatility of the class is overwhelming.... she can take the role of the cleric, the rogue, the wizard or the fighter, and she can do this all fairly good. Unfortunately my 12th lvl druid was disintigrated by a...

    6th level spell for sorcerer

    thx for the nice suggestions... you were right about phantasmal killer... polymorph other has more uses and works better. You are prolly also right about Banishment..... I'm doubting between the mansion and finger of Death. I'm really hesitant towards dropping the greater disjunction spell...

    (Not again!) How's this sorcerer's spell list look?
