I'd like to see this get done at some point, too!

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Starter Set Great intro package with a fully fledged mini adventure path. Worth it for the adventures alone, which allow multiple paths through each section of the adventure and multiple ways through the middle sections to get from intro to finale adventure.

Merric, I know what you mean about high level over-complications. If it wasn't such a ball-ache to rework the encounters, I would make the adventure paths into level 1-12 rather than 1-20. However, in fairness to Paizo, they are offering what they set out to offer, with the inevitable...

Heh heh- you masochist, you :D Thanks for the info!

DVD re-release Anyone checked out the dvd re-release, yet? I am considering buying it just to avoid the endless disk swapping and its only 10 british pounds over here. Does it put everything on the one DVD or is there still swapping about to do?

For various reasons I have been out of touch with ENworld since around April (shocking, I know!). I used to find that the news FOR THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS was displayed on the front page, but I am now only getting the current day's news. Since I can't get here every day, it was very useful to see...

Totally mind-blowing! Bravo!

Got my Dragon Dice Well, got my Dragon Dice (see link for picture http://q-workshop.com/products.php?lang=EN&sell_type=DETAL&currency=EUR&category=Dragons%20White-brown ) the other day. (Really quickly considering they are coming from Poland and quote a relatively long lead time- they must be...

I personally fancy the dragon dice from these guys in Poland http://q-workshop.com/main.php?lang=EN&sell_type=DETAL . They are quite pricey though.... They deliver internationally by the way. Check out their designs and see what you think.

Unless specifically stated in the ability that it works with combat expertise, I would say "no." Fighting defensively is NOT combat expertise and vice versa. As far as I know, nothing in RAW prevents you fighting defensively whilst at the same time using combat expertise. Therefore you can do...

In this thread http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/dungeon/ageOfWorms/paladinsAndWormInfestation on the "Dungeon" message boards, James Jacobs (Adventure Path head honcho) says that in his opinion the worm infestation is not strictly avoided by the Paladin's immunity to disease. Of course, the...

As an example, take the Efreeti, MM page 115-116. Spell-like abilities are listed with "at will" abilities followed by "3/day-invisibility, wall of fire" and "1/day-grant up to 3 wishes, gaseous form, permanent image, polymorph self". So, can he go invisible 3 times AND call forth a wall of...

I was recently using a creature with spell like abilities. It had some "at will" and 4 different abilities/spells listed under its "3/day" heading. Now, I took it to mean that it has 3/day of EACH of its 4 limited abilities (12 uses of the cool stuff in total). However, a player thought that...

Hmm, I think you may have put your finger on the reasons for my occasional lingering unease over 3.5. I like it but at the same time I often feel like I am constrained by the rules or perhaps forced to look up certain mechanics too much, at least compared to older D&D editions. Its harder to...

Teenage mutant ninja hydras :D Hmm, I see what you mean. I took the section in the Hydra entry where it states that "you can ready an action to sunder a head which attacks you" as implying that it was a way to avoid the AoO (as it goes without saying that you can ready any action you like)...
