    Starting Wealth vs Organic Wealth

    A few months back I saw a post (almost certainly on this board) re: the disparity between the starting wealth given to a new character and the amount of wealth a character grown "organically" from 1st would naturally have. If I recall, a starting character had a good bit more wealth (expressed...

    Staff Fighting and Dual Implement Spellcaster

    Keep in mind, to get ANY bonus from the second implement, he'd have to get the Dual Implement Wielder feat anyway, so it isn't appropriate to count that in the "cost" of this concept. That said, sure it costs one feat to make the staff a double weapon, but for the price of that feat you're...

    Staff Fighting and Dual Implement Spellcaster

    Hurm. RAI, I agree, that this shouldn't fly. The caster is getting double the enhancement bonus of his item added to damage essentially for free. RAW though, I'm not so sure. Don't double weapons essentially say to treat them as two separate weapons for rules purposes? Unfortunately there...

    mc question

    I'm running the Builder on my Mac right now! :) I use Parallels 3 (they have a v4 out now for about $50). You also need a copy of Windows, however. Runs perfectly fine though! :)

    Polearm Warden Builds

    A Half-Elf Earth (Con) Warden can choose Eldritch Strike as his Dilettante power. It is a melee attack (so Reach applies) that uses Con, and lets you Slide the target 1. Also, its a Basic Attack. Add in a Staggering Reach weapon, a few polearm feats, and the Versatile Master feat (along with the...

    Major Problem with the Favored Soul

    Maybe the idea is that a normal character has a speed of Fly 0? So +4 to your Fly speed gets you to Fly 4? :confused: I noticed that too.

    H2 Thunderspire Labyrinth doubt

    Because of the burden to the servers, the Search functionality is disabled unless you buy an account. Dunno how much it is ... I don't think it's very much. You could always go to google and try your search with the tag "site:www.enworld.org". That'll sometimes work. Edit: Hrms. Let's see if it...

    H2 Thunderspire Labyrinth doubt

    I think you more or less have it. Perhaps this is just a case of over thinking it? Bronze Warders can't shift, so unless an ally can give them a slide or something, they have no way to avoid OAs. Both of their powers to move them through people do provoke OAs; one thing to remember is that...

    If you can find a group that plays a pre-3.0 version of D&D or Retroclone would you:

    Only if there was no other gaming I could find. I'd probably choose non-DnD games (Vampire or Hero or ...) over older editions as well. :) Edit: Posted before the poll was up. I voted not play, although that's not 100% accurate. Like I said, if it's the only game in town ...

    Intimidate in combat: viable?

    I agree with your larger point Eric, but I think what a lot of posters are trying to say here is that the OP's intentions are not sane about it. Not just the bonuses he has accumulated, but his apparent plans on how to use them. Maybe he and his group will be fine with it, but I think at least a...

    Half-Undead and Pregnancy

    I think to myself, hmm, I don't remember contributing to a thread called Half-Undead and Pregnancy. And what the hell would I contribute to a thread like that anyway?:confused: So I click to find out. Oh! 2003! Wow ... I'm not sure I even remember anything from that year. What did I have to...

    Cool Hybrid concepts? Post here!

    Some ideas I've thought of, but haven't tried yet - Barbarian|Sorcerer, using Hybrid Talent to nab either Dragon or Cosmic Source. Str to AC baby! Rogue|Ranger, Hybrid Talent for Beastmaster, free flanker at all times! Fighter|Ranger, Hybrid Talent for Tempest, damage city Fighter|Barbarian...

    D&D 4E Is character death acceptable in 4e? If so, how often?

    For the most part, I think so. It's hard for monsters to achieve the type of spike damage they'd need to effectively take out one PC while leaving the rest relatively hurt; IMO that type of stuff mostly came about because of full attacks or from save-or-dies. Still, there are still some...

    Grasp of the Grave - are miss and hit virtually the same?

    Huh, now that is interesting. A fellow player in my game has that spell and uses it regularly; in his case his power card (and the Character Build, as I just double checked!) has the area created daze enemies in it until the end of their turn. The Compendium, however, lists otherwise. I checked...

    Best 3.5 Adventure Path to convert to 4e?

    One good metric to consider is whether an AP requires flying/water breathing/plane shifting, or other forms of high level magic. Keep them in mind, since access to these kinds of effects are far more constrained within 4E than in 3E ... an adventure expecting all of the party to fly at an early...

    Wizard losing his spellbook

    Actually, check out the non-magical gear table in the PHB. Spellbooks show up on there in plain black-and-white, for 50gp. I'm almost 100% that Wizards start with one for free, but additionals are definitely more than 1gp.
