    April's D&D Feedback Survey Results

    It's a convenience sample, so validity is definitely questionable.

    D&D 5E House Rules That Make The Game Better

    +3 is what I decided to go with for now. We start the campaign this Saturday, so we'll see how it goes!

    D&D 5E House Rules That Make The Game Better

    That's part of what I'm struggling with. I'm leaning towards +2 if I offer the option at all. +5 just seems too high.

    D&D 5E House Rules That Make The Game Better

    The way FATE does it is that you can spend a point to either roll again OR get a flat bonus to the roll. I've been muddling about with whether I want to offer that choice when I implement a FATE-style system when I begin running Princes of the Apocalypse.

    Stacking advantage: doing the math

    Stacking Advantage Math The die rolls are all independent events, so the formula to figure out if at least one of them is successful is this: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) So if we use a success chance of 60% as Justinhalliday did then the formula looks like this: .6 + .6 - .36 = .84...

    What should the DDI Campaign Tool do?

    This. Take what Obsidian Portal already does so well and add tight DDI integration. The reference wiki similar to what enworld does for acronyms on the forums is an awesome idea. Being able to have campaign-specific entries on the reference wiki would be even awesomer. See a name in an...

    Dungeon 163: Beyond the Mottled Tower

    I agree! I definitely want more "How to Make SoW a Cohesive Whole" by FourthBear.

    Dungeon 163: Beyond the Mottled Tower

    Fourthbear, I really enjoyed reading your thoughts and will more than likely use them for my campaign as well. Now that the next adventure has been released (congrats Piratecat!) do you have any thoughts on how to integrate it tighter into the overall narrative?

    Dungeon 164 - Scales of War 9: Haven of the Bitter Glass

    Holy Piles of Awesome, Batman! I read through the adventure during work (Shh! Don't tell anyone!) and I have to say, this adventure captured my imagination right off the bat. Don't want to get too much into specifics since players of the SoW campaign are reading the thread, but holy crap for...

    Obsidian Portal Obsidian Portal is also a great website for campaign wikis, adventure journals, etc.

    Amazon Orphans unite!

    I pre-ordered mine in December. I checked the status of my order yesterday morning to discover that they wouldn't ship until June 10, and not arrive until the end of the month. So I canceled, complained that it was ridiculous they couldn't get them to me sooner when I had pre-ordered six...

    Magic Items and their resale value

    I would just like to say thank you for leading me to that comic. You have officially ruined any productivity I would've had for the rest of the day. :-)

    Ranger Fighting Styles

    So it seems to me that TWF Rangers come out better than Archer Rangers in regards to the Fighting Style class feature. TWFers get Toughness as well as the ability to use normal 1hers in their off-hand, while Archers only get Defensive Mobility. As far as I can see, starting out as a Ranger is...

    Mobile Ranged Attack (KotS Spoilers!)

    The way I interpret it is that the ranged attack doesn't provoke an OA, but the movement still might. If the movement was meant to be a shift, why didn't they say "can shift up to half its speed"? I may be wrong, but that's how I read it.

    Paragon Path Optimization

    For the Hexhammer, wouldn't you need to get Hide Proficiency before you could get Chainmail Proficiency?
