    monk preview: another expertise feat - talk about stealth errata!

    It may be listed as a Centered Breath feat, but it in fact has no stated prerequisite - another thing that can be misinterpreted in the article.

    monk preview: another expertise feat - talk about stealth errata!

    Nope, this is not the feat for those that both use weapons as weapons and implements as implements, such as e.g. a bard. This is the feat for those that use weapons as implements, such as the monk or the sorcerer, as I read it. Not sure how weapons that also are implements, such as a songsword...

    Ki is dead! Can we make martial more magical now?

    Well, call that a different kind of Feng Shui influence; rearranging the monsters to form a more harmonious surrounding. "Now, take that orc and put it over there, so that his green complexion complements the fuchsia backdrop! And that goblin, he definitely won't go with that sharp light - put...

    Monk playtest: Is Unarmed Attack a weapon or an implement?

    Huh? Cutting and pasting from the article: That is, when you wield a monk weapon, it is an implement.

    Monk playtest: Is Unarmed Attack a weapon or an implement?

    The "Unarmed Combatant" section says that Unarmed Attack is a weapon, and has a +3 proficiency bonus. It can also be enchanted with weapon enchantments, such as +1 flaming. The section "Monk Weapons" says that Unarmed Attack is a Monk Weapon. The section "Implements" says that Monk Weapons...

    4e Monsters that scare the crap out of characters

    In order to properly scare the players, you have to threaten something they really care about, whether it is the characters themselves, certain NPCs, or a certain plot development. First you have to create a connection, then you have to get the players to invest emotionally in that connection...

    Pathfinder 1E Interview with PATHFINDER lead designer Jason Bulmahn

    Well, for all that it's worth in a fantasy setting with teleports and passwall spells/rituals, the design of stairs was a very important part of medieval defense works, as I recall it. That includes things from arrow slits and murder holes, to designing the curvature and direction (clockwise...

    Adventurer's Vault 2 Playtest

    Hm, reading the Healer's Sash description begs the question: Can a character refuse to take a Long Rest (or Short, for that sake) while the rest of the party takes one? Keep doing laps around the courtyard or something?...

    My Grind Fix: Half hp, 2/3 Xp

    Anybody else but me writing here? ;) I take it you refer to the first encounter of the evening, the ogrekin(?) with his trained lots-of-hitpoints rats? (Those must have been made out of neutronium, or something...) Did not really pay that much attention to it, because it wasn't until after it...

    I would just adore a similar setting, but without all that license baggage.... I'm still mourning that I did not manage to sell the "Zero no Tsukaima" ("The Familiar of Zero") anime to my DM...

    May and Beyond previews

    Hm... how do you combine "take the higher of two rolls" and "take the lower of two rolls", when they apply to the same roll? Roll three dice and take the middle one?

    So, what happened to the Design writeup on Expertise?

    Anther thread reminded me of this: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/253318-question-mike-mearls-should-you-happen.html#post4731384 Has anything come out of this?

    Immediate Reaction: Hits or Misses an attack

    From Wizards' Player's Handbook 2 FAQ: This means that an IR on the movement part of a Charge is resolved after the movement part, which is the triggering condition, is completely resolved, but before the attack part, which is not part of the triggereing condition. The question here is...

    D&D 4E Stalker0's Alternate 4e Paladin: The Crusader

    I think that should have been included in multiclassing from the beginning.

    Inquisitive

    What you need is an object in the same mold as an implement/weapon/focus. A bag-of-tricks/toolbox/utility-belt that is a keyword for these powers and thus enables them. And just as with an implement, you can squeeze your players for more expensive and improved versions, giving these powers more...
