    (Mongoose) Wraith Recon Announced for 4e

    Wow... that setting sounds like a hoot. I hope the book doesn't take itself too seriously! If I can take a humorous look at "if Tom Clancy Wrote D&D Modules" with just this book, I think it would fit... over the top characters, parodies of various governments and their actions, a critically...

    Help! KotS: Dealing with Hobgoblins [Spoilers!]

    Hi there, I was wondering if Wizards or anyone else has come up with some guidelines on how the player's can bypass or gain the trust or do something to make having the pass phrase to the hobgoblins worth it? Like some kind of skill challenge to be able to negotiate with the hobgoblins, and be...

    So I just ran the Irontooth fight, my party kicked ass!

    Edit... oh, I guess this goes in the general rpg section?

    So I just ran the Irontooth fight, my party kicked ass!

    I'm so proud of my group! We just ran the Irontooth fight, with level one characters, the Warlord, the Wizard, the Rogue, the Cleric, and the Fighter. All of the characters were pretty much unmodified, except for the fighter, who had throwing hammers rather than daggers. I did lower the...

    D&D 4E 4E PrRC ~v2.7~ FINAL UPDATE May 29.08

    In the chart on page 54, you wrote "scalemail", and it is "scale armor". Scalemail is an inaccuracy and a confusing way to describe armor that they happily corrected in the latest version.

    Best class/role for solo play

    I would say there is one very very important thing: Be able to hear yourself more than once per combat. and one less important thing: Have high defenses and lots of hit points, and maybe other ways to mitigate damage. That would about do it for me...

    Well I went to the Game Demo! Did Escape from Sembia. My thoughts

    Well, I was playing a ranger, and in the first fight, I got up on a table, so I got the "attack from higher ground" thing going on, and I also managed to get some cover by slashing a bag of flour, so I was in a real good position to not *need* to move much during that fight... so I didn't, which...

    Well I went to the Game Demo! Did Escape from Sembia. My thoughts

    Okay, here are my experiences in going to the game demo in my city... I will try to focus more on the stuff that I *didn't* know about before going, rather than stuff that is easy to figure out. First thing: there were some interesting things with line of sight and moving around to be able to...

    D&D 4E 4E PrRC ~v2.7~ FINAL UPDATE May 29.08

    Are you going to add the Design and Development stuff, like the Paladin Smites?

    D&D 3E/3.5 4E Simulationism: Did 3.5E Really Do That Good of a Job?

    I don't think 3.5e handled realistic melee weapons based combat well at all. If you want my opinion on what a realistic melee combat system would be like, I would do one designed by a guy that actually fights with period weapons... Which is what this article is about, and it uses a combat...
