Get one subscription of DDI and share it among your group. Character creation is as easy as it is to make a World of Warcraft character, or any other RPG Video Game. We have a group of 12 players and 3 DM's and nobody uses the books anymore. DDI really is the best thing to happen to DnD. When...

My opinion is, if your DM doesn't know how to strategize then it's going to seem easy to the players. After all the DM is only one person thinking, and the party has 5. 4E has really become a strategy game rather than a hack and slash of the old days. Even terrain has a major effect on combat...

I taught my son D&D by having him run himself. I created a character that had basic statistics and said it was him. I started him out using a local park as the setting and having him find a secret dungeon in it. I ran him through finding a sword and fighting level 1 monsters and eventually...

I use EXCEL sometimes. You can use the built in shapes, import graphics, and you can size the grid easily. I've also used Paint Shop Pro. Having layers is very helpful.

Try the D&D 4e Combat Tracker: http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/DnD4eCM You can import all of the characters PC's (from the Character Builder) and your monsters (from Adventure Tools) into here, and you can group them into encounters. Then with a push of a button you can shuffle them into...

I'm actually thinking of Plague of Frogs, but yes, your right, it does have an initial attack. Thanks for the answer.

For many damaging zones it states, "Each creature that enters the zone or starts its turn there takes..." When the power is first used and the zone appears do you apply the damage to anyone that is within, counting it as if they 'entered' the zone? Also, do you apply the damage to someone if...

If I mark the warlord with Aegis of Shielding and he uses Commander's Strike on one of my allies, does my Aegis of Shielding reduce the damage, even though the Warlord is not the one actually swinging the weapon? It seems like it might because the power (commander's strike) is initiating an...

Finger Jello.

I've been playing Dungeon!, the old TSR Boardgame based on D&D, with my 5 year old. He loves it. He even plays by himself sometimes.

Free. A lot of companies like lulu.com allow printing on demand.

Anyone know of a site that has posted PC's or NPC's? Have a group of classed NPC's I need for an adventure, I have in a few days. I was hoping I wouldn't have to roll them all up. Looking for 4th-6th levels. Thanks.

About a few months ago I would say my former 26 AC was adequate, until the DM's started classing the monsters, and our campaign went to Average Hit Points for all Characters. Then I found I was running for Heals alot. At level 19 we are fighting multiple giants and starting on bigger dragons...

Rogue using an animated shield That's a good idea, but to use an animated shield properly, would you have to have Shield Proficiency?
