    How should I make my adventure's maps?

    I got a poster sized 1" grid paper from Office Depot. It is designed to be put on an easel, but it works great for maps. I can fit about four dungeon rooms on it, folded to show them in turn.

    Challenge! I want to convert your concept!

    You can't do that. You can only take level 1 at will attack powers. You can't take a cantrip.

    Just realized something about item crafting.

    In my campaign world, you damn sure have to. I won't allow my players to perform a ritual whose key skill they haven't trained.

    Converting Arcane Archer

    Thanks drothgery, though it didn't work when I tried to supply a title. Edit: It worked when I did it right. ;) I don't really like the utility power for this, and I'm open to suggestions for something that has a better Arcane Archer feel. Anyone?

    Converting Arcane Archer

    Uh, I thought the spoiler tag would make the collapsed section that has the Show button. I guess it just blacks out the text. If somebody could tell me what tag does that I'll update it, but in the mean time, how does this incarnation of Arcane Archer suit everyone. Anything still rub you the...

    Converting Arcane Archer

    That's not bad, Cryptos. I like that: Arcane Archers can use bows as implements and use imbue arrow as an implement mastery power... I think I'll go with ZetaStriker's suggestion for Arrow of Death, a big boom that's bigger on bloodied targets. Perhaps to retain the "bows are magic in my...

    Converting Arcane Archer

    Damnit. Why couldn't they have just put it in the book... I see what they did, of course. They put Wizard of the Spiral Tower in its place. That's basically an Arcane Swordsman. I don't like the death arrow either, but I don't know what else to do. I knew I wanted the "cast spells through...

    Converting Arcane Archer

    I'm a little confused. You think Arcane Fork is okay as long as it doesn't do what it says it does? Huh? If Arcane Bow Implement has to lose something, I'd rather have it lose the 'use as implement' bit instead of the 'mundane bows are magic for you' bit, as that is the core bit of Arcane...

    Converting Arcane Archer

    Despite a mention during previews that Arcane Archer made the transition to paragon path, it seems to have been dropped in the final. I have a player who has a whole character concept that is pivotal on Arcane Archer, so I'm doing my best to recreate it. To that end, I'm posting my first go at...

    Implement ambiguities

    Oh man! Does this mean that spellcaster/rogues can't sneak attack with their spells in 4e? Bummer. So perhaps the deciding factor on whether the light blade would work is the Weapon keyword in the power description?

    My attempt at Druid

    Did you mean for this to be a Minor Action instead? Because if it is a Standard Action, I don't understand why this would ever be used. I mean, I can effectively double my speed by spending my Standard Action as a Move anyway, at will. Is there something I'm missing or is this a typo? I...

    Fireball? Can wizards still cast a fireball? What does it do?

    Encounter Powers as Encounter Slots

    Could somebody tell me what RAW means? I keep seeing that mentioned, but I can't figure out what it means.

    Linked Portal Could somebody tell me how linked portal functions? I have a wizard in an impenetrable tower that needs a backdoor, and I think that might be what I need. Somebody with books please post the effect for the Linked Portal ritual.
