Pull that ladder up! Keep that bilge rat from getting back up here. Chizz runs toward the fight in the stern, clipping his knife to his battle harness as he moves. Once in range, he pulls out his bow again and looses two arrows at Kumar, grazing him with one of them. Lachlan! Mind your...

Any plot that contains "it is very critical that..." has a problem in it. What if the players come up with a clever way to avoid the arresting troops? What if they just hand over the map, or toss it off a bridge, or roll Sleight of Hand to plant it on a nearby drunk, or eat it? What if they...

Satisfied with the confusion caused by his thrown boomerang, Ryk focuses on catching up. He scrambles nimbly up a pile of rubble, jumps up to catch a canvas awning, flips onto the roof and runs across it, and drops down into an alley where he will have a good shot at the rival team as they...

Here is a different take on Vicious Mockery. Our bard is famous for using it to get in the last point of damage after the ranger and barbarian have chewed through scores of hit points but not quite finishing the job. One way I describe the reliably fatal Vicious Mockery from our gnome...

Statistically, yes they do. However, you must remember that 73.6% of statistics are meaningless, and the rest are wrong.

Ryk takes aim with his boomerang and sends it on an arcing trajectory that sends the Horn's Apex team scattering. Two of the rival runners are forced to dive and roll to avoid the missile, allowing Ryk's team to gain ground. Attack - twin strike, at-will: 21 and 23, 2 attacks.

Ryk has good numbers for the primary chase skills, and twin strike with boomerang is a reliable ranged +1 and sometimes +2 for the battle. I'll wait and post late in the round, in whichever challenge seems to need the most help.

Elves. Bamfing pointy eared freaks. Let's see if he can do that with a mouthful of water. Chizz runs toward the archer and tries again to push him over the side, but the elf is a skilled hand to hand combatant and the force of Chizz's charge is wasted. He stays in the elf's face, menacing him...

Being contemptuously dismissive of popular things makes some people feel cool, 1337 or otherwise superior. You see it in music, fashion, movies, just about every field. For these people, it's not enough to say "I'm not interested in awards , ratings or surveys; I decide what I like without...

Chizz, about to shoot the dwarf, suddenly sees a more serious threat. Quickly sliding his bow to his shoulder, he grabs a nearby rope intending to swing into the enemy archer feet first, knocking him into the briny deep! Unfortunately the swing is poorly aimed and he is forced to drop to the...

Chizz takes a moment to collect himself; his head is ringing from that last hit. He decides to switch to his bow for the rest of the fight; there is a healer on his side but there are others who also need the healing, and they may not have the luxury of switching to safer ranged fighting...

Ryk continues racing ahead, then suddenly notices Spring has veered off in another direction. Looking to the left, he realizes that the dinosaur is correct; the Horns waited until they were behind a building then teleported sideways to confuse pursuit. Spring scented them but Ryk had already...

Let's go! Janjan! Ryk and Spring break into a sprint. athletics 24

Note: with Taran stepping back my 3d6+8 just became 1d6+4 instead, on that interrupt. Unless someone else steps in somehow and provides a flank. So I take back what I said about not marking him, 1d6+4 is not worth getting clobbered for :(

There is one page in the PHB (I think it's either 275 or 285, I don't have my book handy) that lists all the "conditions" a character or NPC can be afflicted by. Most essential page in the whole book. Bookmark it, or even photocopy it and laminate it; you'll be looking for it in every single...

Chizz studies Kumar's movements. Part of him is surprised that the feared pirate is so small when viewed up close; from the tales told of his exploits, Chizz half expected him to be ten feet tall. And he doesn't breathe fire, either. I wonder what else isn't true? The half-orc stabs with...

on kumar's turn: duelist's stance strike 29 vs reflex for 6 damage (interrupt, trigger: an enemy hits or misses me) edit for corrected damage - forgot that Chizz has already dealt sneak attack damage this round.

GMing 4e, playing some 4e online as well. I'm mildly interested in running a pathfinder or 3.5, but only if I can tone it way down - maybe playing it E6-style. Also looking forward to Gamma World, already beginning to map out a world (New England area with sea levels 150 feet higher than now -...

If I were doing WotC's marketing, I'd be sending you email too. It works. The number of people like you that will be angry enough to stop buying is so much tinier than the numbr of people who will be induced to buy, that not sending the email would be a very poor business decision. Aside from...

There are so many ways your interest in gaming can get tied to your email address, and your email address find its way to WotC, that fixing blame on any particular entity is pointless. After all, my abiding interest in British lotteries I haven't entered and Nigerian oil money in abandoned...
