    Tripod vs. the dragon

    Sadly, they are from Australia (well, sadly for we who want to see them anyway), so it's a long shot at best. I'm secretly hoping they have mad success and continue the tour throughout the states in the near future. Hey droogie, I bet you're a trojan like me ;-) and I completely agree with your...

    Tripod vs. the dragon

    Hello Enworld! I just wanted to pass this along to everyone. Perhaps someone here in Enworld will be lucky enough to be able to catch this show. It's the first comedic opera about D&D, and it's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. Not only are these guys talented writers, performers and...

    Berbalang?

    Level 12 Encounter (XP 3,500) 1 berbalang (level 10 solo skirmisher) 1 gibbering mouther (level 10 controller) 1 skeletal tomb guardian (level 10 brute) I DM'd this exact encounter for my new group at 11th level. It was in a crypt, the berbalang was buying dead bodies that were supposed to be...

    OGL d20 modern

    Hello again! During the summer I queryed if making a game based off of d20 Modern was viable, meaning players of my game would need that book. My decision was to instead use the d20 Modern SRD and change it, to suit my PA game. So my plan is to use the OGL to reprint a lot of the d20 SRD using...

    Should I release a game using d20 Modern?

    freyar ahhh, I see. But then, what is the point of using d20 Modern if you can't state compatability. Do you claim its compatable with the d20 Modern SRD? What about the cardinal no-nos of not publishing 'how a character levels up' for instance? That's not in the SRD, as far as I know...

    Should I release a game using d20 Modern?

    afstanton Are you saying the d20 SRD can be used without the OGL lisence now? Sorry if I sound a bit outdated here, haven't been keeping up honestly. Last I knew I'd have to copy the OGL lisence into the book, not print level-up rules and reference the d20 Modern book for any rules I didn't...

    Should I release a game using d20 Modern?

    Hello world of EN! For quite a few years I've been working on a PA game using the d20 Modern ruleset, in hopes of using the d20 modern SRD. Well, then 4e was announced, and I got discouraged about the fate of that system. Now, a year and a half later, I have revisited the 'book' I wrote and...

    Timing of actions

    Hello! I have a couple questions that arose in last nights game. First, can you use a minor action in the middle of a move action. Meaning move 2, use minor action, move 4, use standard action. I think not, but thought I'd ask the wise anyway. The other question is a little more tricky. Say a...

    Cleric multiclass pros and cons

    solodan- yeah flavor is a big part of it. I'd take athletics over perception for instance. I'd agree about Disruptive Strike, it is tempting. Plus as you said, the Wis synergy with a ranger is golden. Thanks for the feedback. knightofround- ahh nice call there with Thievery. I'd go for it if...

    Cleric multiclass pros and cons

    Hello Enworlders, I'm going back and forth trying to decide what multiclass to take for my STR based lv4 cleric. Basically an 18 str, 16 wis build, Spiked chain, human. The Warlord seems like an excellent choice, powers like Hammer and Anvil work nicely with Righteous Brand for instance, but...

    Battlefield archer question?

    I'd agree, it's multiple quarry's, single minor action, as Falling Icicle said ""At a time" couldn't really mean anything else." But, I wouldn't say you can apply it more than once per round. From DDI "If you have dealt Hunter’s Quarry damage since the start of your turn, you cannot deal it...

    metagaming

    Tripgnosis I can understand your distaste, perhaps my perspective will help. I see this 'metagame' knowledge of players and monsters as actually more realistic than if they didn't know of conditions. A common theme I see RPers overlook is the concept of the PCs actually being there, in the...

    D&D 4E 4e: the metagame.

    Great thread. I have to say I agree with your sentiment Disengage, but not all of your execution. For certain, the best games I've played in the last 30 years have been with DMs who design worlds for the players to play in, not DMs who made (or used a premade) a world and directed the...
