I'm a player in Scouring of the Gate Pass. We are leaving the city in guard uniforms as disguise. The guard uniform says "Studded Leather Armor", but it was removed in 4E. Is it the same as regular leather armor?

"Rather than being unable to take actions, you lose one standard action each round. You may not make opportunity actions. Now the stunned monster can still move, use minors, and blow action points. This makes a big difference for solos." If you would do something like this, I would think you...

I think the section should be improved then. Just making up skills is not really appropriate, IMHO. Also, a +2 diplomacy check is also totally different from creating a new skill (which is what is says right now). I suggest that you give an example in the text, so people will understand. Thanks, R.

Skip the "Background Skills Section". See also http://www.enworld.org/forum/e-n-publishing/257645-background-skills-section.html

The "Background Skills" section (Player's Guide, p. 9) is a bit ambiguous, as it contains terminology from the 3.5 edition (i.e. craft, profession, performance related). Is it a leftover from the 3.5 edition or should I really create a new skill in 4e? Thanks, R.

When you develop a skill challenge, it shouldn't be a roll-the-dice challenge. This also means that developing a good skill challenge takes probably more time than developing a good dungeon battle. Things that I consider present in good skill challenges: - Punishment and pleasure. Every action...

I couldn't find a page where to post errata, so I thought I create a new one. I found the following small mistake: Player's Guide, p.10, Wayfarer's Step: "This spell can only be learned from the Wayfarers (see page 17)" => This should be page 18. Cheers, Van der Hoorn

I DM'd most of the adventure yesterday. I must say it really worked out well! Some comments: We had 4 PCs, which is really the minimum I think. On the website you mention 3-4 characters, but after two battles, they barely got through (may have to do with some of the players missing a lot...

I have to disagree here. We play with a two-weapon ranger and it does the most damage of all characters. I would say it is one of the most powerful classes there is. Underpowered classes can come in variety, but it always depends on the other PCs. It also depends on the race, feats and...

Hmm. Unless you're planning on releasing a module that uses this specific hook, I suggest you may just want to put instead that the DM can use the corpse as a hook for another adventure and remove the specifics. Personally I would have made her a combatant. For players it's always fun to have...

That seems to work properly (except for the footer)! I guess Mac doesn't have Calibri (I have Office 2004, so it may be included with Office 2008, not sure). Acrobat Pro converts it automatically to another font, I guess that's why it worked on Acrobat. Thanks!

You may want to PM the author; this thread dates back to August, so the author may not read this thread anymore.

Great work! The adventure reads really well! Some comments and suggestions: - The PDF doesn't display well on my Mac (all kinds of question marks), but if I use Acrobat Professional it displays normally. Maybe it has something to do with the fonts; not sure. - p.1: Key Locations -> Important...
