OK, a Dominated creature is Dazed, and you choose its one (standard/move/minor) action. A Dazed creature can normally take Free actions. Can you force a Dominated creature to take free actions in addition to its one S/M/M action? Instead of? More than one free action? "Drop your sword (free)...

And hope he's not an Eladrin. Or pretty much any non martial class. We've taken to blindfolding prisoners. This cuts down on teleportation, and prevents non-Martial types from getting LOS. (No good with close burst powers, some of which can arguably burn ropes. Can't remember if Blast powers...

I can't tell you a compelling reason to do almost ANYTHING voluntary except for the satisfaction of it.

Huh. Is there any reason to DM *except* to have an excuse to worldbuild? I find it's the best part of the game... I generally start campaigns when I have a great idea for a world, not the other way around.

None of either (not even as NPCs) in our first 4e game; none so far planned for our second. FWIW, in the 4e world I'm building, Tieflings and Dragonborn are part of the history; halflings, dwarves, and gnomes are not. :)

I just hope that "for DMs" means something other than "More modules!" We hates modules, preciousss. We dursn't use them, no, we dursn't. I want *Keh-RUNCH*! I want new monsters. I want new traps. I want new fiddly bits to ADD to monsters and traps. :) I want interesting and weird rules I...

Last update was in October; is this program still being maintained?

Most magic item dailies suck. A few are great. If your DM allows you to select your own magic items, you can usually find some which synergize very well. Also, look for items with Encounter powers, or good Properties. As an example, compare a Battlecrazed weapon to, say, a Flaming one. Which...

Having not looked at the feats, I'm not sure, but might it be that WOTC wants people to get away from "2 18s, 4 8s" in chargen? (OTOH, if the prereq is Intelligence, I have no clue as to motive.)

I'd like an official statement if it's a bug some users are experiencing, or a change in policy/performance.

Just to amplify/clarify on the rituals thing: If you have a ritual scroll, you do NOT NEED the Ritual Caster feat. ANYONE can use a Ritual Scroll to perform ANY ritual, provided they pony up the component cost. If it's a no-fail ritual (like Raise Dead), it doesn't even matter if they have any...

Well, foo. :(

The power says "Use this power when you are hit by an attack". I read this as "Before you take damage, you go 'poof'" and are somewhere else. Another player thinks this means I take the damage and THEN teleport, making it a lot less useful. Which reading is correct?

Very slightly off topic, but in my 3.5 game, the PCs were fighting a Sylvan Lord, and thanks to a timely Dimensional Anchor managed to get him into a bargaining position. I had no intention of him surviving the fight -- he was mostly a speedbump enemy -- but there he was, and they demanded of...

Shrug. There's a Swordmage NPC who occasionally pals around with our group of cutthroats and ne'er-do-wells, and he bloops all over the battlefield like a frakkin' pinball. But you're right, his choice of destination is limited. I guess my point, if I had one, is: a)Teleporting melee is already...

You mean, like the Swordmage?

Uhm... I just checked out Drivethru and RPGNow, and I can buy WOTC products, still. When does this go into effect? (I got as far as checkout, I didn't actually try to buy anything, but if you can add them to your cart, I don't see why you can't buy...)

So lemme ask you. Orcus is in the Tome of Horrors. So is Jubilex (not Juiblex) and a couple of other big-name demons and devils, some renamed, some "classic". All OGC. One project I've been working on, off and on, is a Big Book Of Slimes And Oozes, 'cause I think they're cool. I was going to...

I still have one issue that I'd really appreciate solid legal advice on, ideally from Clark or someone else. The GSL does not apply to websites. The GSL also requires that it be accepted. Given that I have not accepted the GSL, is there any reason existing copyright law would not cover this...

When it comes to MMORPGs, the phrase "Anything free is worth what you pay for it" is terribly, horribly, true.
