I'm about to take over the GMing duties for my group, and I've decided to start with Eyes of the Lich Queen, a 5th-level Eberron adventure which was published in 2007. While there are a few kinks in the adventure, for the most part I found it quite enjoyable, and with a little bit of polish, and...

That's what he ended up doing, when we couldn't determine if he could take the whole body with him or not.

Our swordmage really needed to retrieve a magic item from a dead enemy, but was lying prone within melee range of a very dangerous monster. So he asked a simple question: "Can I grab the body, and teleport away with it?" For that matter, can he do that with one of his living teammates?

That must be it. Iron Heroes was the last D&D-esque game we played before 4E (with diversions through Vampire, Dogs in the Vineyard, and Mutants & Masterminds in the meantime)... Chaotic Archon, being the little cheater that he is, must have assumed that this rule carried through, and none of us...

Not exactly what I was looking for, but thanks... I understand the rules for flanking with an ally; it was the ability to flank someone by yourself that is in question.

Last night we tried to find a rules passage, and for the life of us, we just couldn't find it. This is something that we could all swear that we've seen, somewhere in the rulebook, but when we tried to pin it down, it was nowhere to be found. Can you flank with yourself? If you start on one...

Thanks for posting that letter. That's the one they've got posted in the shop too. Aero Hobbies has really been turned around over the last couple years. The previous owner passed away, and the new management has done a nice job of modernizing the store. Where once you'd struggle through...

For anyone in the Los Angeles area, it looks like Third Planet in Torrance is closing down next week. I stopped by there yesterday, and there was a little notice tacked up on the wall that they'd be shutting down, dated from Christmas. While it's no longer the best game store around, I have...

I've run a whole Mutants & Masterminds campaign using cards instead of dice. There are basic rules for it in the Masteminds Manual, but the short of it is: Discard the face cards from a two standard decks, giving you 1-10 eight times. Reds are face value, blacks are value +10. The players have...

My group had another cool moment that utilized the well in the hobgoblin guard room. We went down the hallway into the water filled room where we unfortunately ambushed by a massive Blue Ooze. Barely managing to shake off it's stunning influence, the team backtracked down the hallway, kiting the...

Here's my suggestion for a modern game: Heroclix's T.O. Morrow

I'm guessing that since this class is designed for 3.5, you may not have been paying much attention to 4E. The Shadowfell is a new plane used heavily in 4E, being a dark reflection of the real world, filled with evil creatures and undead. Many people will look at the name of your product and...

Like many, I'm planning on playing a half-elf fighter multiclass character (in this case, into wizard). One thing that I can't seem to find in the PHB is how many hands I'd need to have free to cast any of my wizard spells. Assuming he starts with a longsword and a light shield and is casting...

If you want a cleric who imposes penalties on the foes, rather than bonuses on his allies, perhaps looking into a warlock multiclass might be helpful.

They use a similar principle to the one mentioned previously, although they prefer Pie.

Doesn't quite scan correctly for a haiku. Try this instead: Dragonborn can fly; Make sure not to look upwards When they fly above.

Which do they like better: Cake or Pie?

Here are a couple posts from the Paizo boards describing their current intentions:

Instead of making a whole new category of powers, you've got another option when it comes to a spell like Grease that seems to slip between the cracks... either up its power enough to make it an Encounter Power (make it ranged burst?) or lower it's power to make it an At-Will. Problem solved.

That's from Treasure Planet - if you haven't seen it already, and are interested in Spelljammer, you should definitely rent it.
