mudbunny That link worked perfectly. And the wiki page on DDI Adventures is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

mudbunny I looked around on the Wizards community site but I don't see that group. Could you provide a link?

I have the D&D Online subscription which gives me access to all sorts of published adventures in Dungeon Magazine. However, there is no good way for me to know what adventures are available for the level my PCs are at, or that match the settings / themes of my campaign. Is there a decent...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. This generated more passion from some than I expected. :-) I have now realized that I was misthinking what an area burst 1 really was. I was thinking of it as filling a cube, and therefore rotating it makes perfect sense. However, I realize now that it is...

Hmm. This is a good point. So what you are saying is that an area burst 1 is approximating a spherical burst with a diameter of 3 squares, and it is treating every square within that burst as equally affected, even though some squares are only partially covered. This actually does make quite...

I have a wizard player that has been requesting to be allowed to rotate his area bursts to not align with the grid. This would allow him to "sneak" his bursts in to either hit more enemies, or hit enemies while avoiding allies, where the standard mechanics would not. Obviously this improves...

I just started a new campaign. For the most part I prefer to keep all the PCs at the exact same XP so it is easier to keep track of, easier to balance encounters (since everyone is at the same level), etc. However, I do struggle when I want to reward the players for things that they do as...

A lot of shaman powers read something like "each ally adjacent to your spirit companion gains XYZ". Does the shaman himself count as an ally of his spirit companion? Or does he not gain the benefit because it is actually his power and it doesn't read "you or one of your allies". Thanks, ~ Justin

I recently started a new campaign and one of my PCs is playing an assassin. After the first gaming session we had some mechanics questions that I'm hoping you guys can help out with. - The assassin's shroud reads thusly: "Before you make an attack roll against the target, you choose to invoke...

I have a sneaking suspicion that that post was made by the player in question... :-) Thanks for all help guys looks like a reskinned Barbarian is the way to go. ~ Justin

I'm starting up a new campaign and one of the guys in my group has a character concept in mind for a warforged fighter-type that wields a massive two-handed greatsword and does mega damage. He initially built the character as a fighter but since fighter is designed to be a defender and not a...

I have made some look & feel improvements to the tool, and I have completed the Items search. Also, the site URL has changed so if you have bookmarked please change them to the following: Scryer - D&D Insider Compendium Searcher Thanks, ~ Justin

Thanks for all the feedback folks. I am glad to hear that people seem to like it. I have been using it myself (after all that's why I made it), and I'm finding it very helpful so I will definitely be adding the other searches (items, powers, etc.). Probably will take a few weeks though. Stay...

I have put together an iPhone-compatible website for searching the D&D compendium from the iPhone. It is currently a work in progress but it is functional, at least for searching creatures. Details are on this thread...

If you are interested in this thread, you might be interested in something I threw together - an iPhone-compatible website for searching the D&D compendium from the iPhone. It is currently a work in progress but it is functional, at least for searching creatures. Details are on this thread...
