The PHB lists choppy water as difficult terrain. The dock itself is on Turnabout Island in the Eberron system in the winter: Not quite Arctic, but pretty dang close. It's not going to be sky blue waters. Blood in the water... it's disgusting, it's one other thing to think about, but damn if...

I'm liking this idea, especially the prone aspect. It's Water WALK, after all, so it would assume that if you fall you fall in. I might have to write up a whole personal rulebook about this upcoming encounter, just in case. I'm thinking about concealment: Underwater creatures have -2...

This is one of those "The Rules Aren't Anywhere" kind of questions, but I'm at least hoping for an opinion... In their next encounter, my group will be hijacking a galleon from a dock. The plan so far, unbeknownst to them, is to give them (and me) a little experience with aquatic combat by...

I'm in the early stages of putting together an Eberron campaign for 4th Ed. I know there's a lot of wiggle room, but I'm trying to stay as true to the universe as possible. One of my early encounters may involve my party fighting a young or wyrmling white dragon and some yeti (yetis?) on...

I thought I posted this last night, but I'm not finding it, so I'll take another shot: I have a plot bug running through my head based loosely, if not directly, on Stephen King's Dark Tower series. More specifically, while I want to leave the door open (no pun intended) to allow the group to...

I'm planning on having my PCs encounter a Young Adamantine Dragon fairly early on in the campaign. However, in writing the history of the dragon (since he'll be fairly important in the coming story), I have no idea how old he should be. I've looked through both 4th Edition Dragonomicon books...

Thanks to everyone for the assist! The inherent bonuses idea was a great one. I only have access to what is written in DMG2, not Dark Sun, and in the end I think I'm going to go with an amalgamation of that and treasure parcels, handing out treasures as regularly in each level, but giving...

I'm currently in the early stages of running a 4th ed campaign with six people. However, just three sessions in and I've never had a full group, I've already had one person drop out due to work conflicts, one person take their place, a third person only show up to one session with two...

If this question was answered before, I apologize. I don't yet have the ability to search past questions. It might be more of an opinion than a rule question, but how strict do DMs get when it comes to distributing parcels to their PCs? The Dungeon Master's Guide, of course, says that a party...

I couldn't find anything written on this in the first DMG, so I thought I'd try here: How would a DM classify a found ritual book in terms of treasure parcels? Is it considered a regular item? Or is it a magical item? And if it is a magical item, how would one go about determining its worth...

Thanks for the help, everyone! Right now I think I'm going to do a combination of both: order the laminated mat from the website as part of the starter kit (cuz I'd like to have some other stuff, as well) and pick up a roll of straight grid paper from Staples or my local shop if I want to...

First off, I apologize in advance: I'm a new member to EN World, and have not become a subscriber yet, so I can't search to see if this topic has been discussed in advance. If it has been, please point me in the right direction. I'm also relatively new to D&D in general. I've been in my first...
