But you don't understand. The ENTIRE LINE OF D&D EVARR has been one huge meta plot. It all links back to Sigil and the Lady of Pain, but they have not yet released who or what she is and how Sigil came into being. If that's not enough, even the MECHANICS of the game are tied to the meta...

Those all sound like good ideas, thanks. What would you consider "plot-relevant combat?"

Well, if you want them to be able to, set the price at whatever you think they should have at that level. I'm coming from a 4e perspective, so what I would do is give them a few treasure parcels from a higher level and take it out of the treasure later, so it balances. The price can be...

Plus, unlike owlbears, dragons are intelligent, meaning that selling them would be like slavery. Plus they're way more powerful than any normal slavers, and would eventually grow so powerful that they'd escape and kill their captors in the process. Even if I was the most malicious...

"Geh-nah-see" or "jeh-nah-see?" Funny how the Forgotten Realms races are the most confusing.

How should the DM run 4e combat in a play-by-post game so that it will be engaging but not take weeks?

I've been thinking of this recently, too, and I have an idea for the start of the campaign. If you plan to use this, players beware of spoiler alert. Have the characters be normal adventurers from a normal town. Make them think they're doing an "above ground" campaign. Have them get hired...

I have tried to DM 3 PbP games. All have failed for the same reason you said. I agree with IronWolf. My problem is that I play 4e, which I have found out is not meant for PbP at all, especially the way I DM. Darn fun combats...Anyway, I think it could work, but everyone has to be willing to...

Do you want them to be evil? You can try to persuade them in game to change heart before its too late. This is a really good idea for showing your players that evil is not a good choice, while still letting them "win:" http://www.enworld.org/forum/blogs/juergen-hubert/920-path-evil.html...

You just insulted a lot of kobolds and goblins with that word. You'd better watch yourself. T)

Hey, don't go subverting yourselves to the Lesser Angels and Earth Elementals yet! Remember, we have power in numbers!!! Small-sized humanoids, unite!

Yeah, I'd like to play or DM this campaign to. Problem is, I play 4e. And while I would love a solid game of tactical battle and dungeon delving, my players get bored very quickly when we have combat, so this kind of campaign wouldn't work for my group. The thing I think I would like most...

After doing some really simple math (I'm not good at the more complex stuff), I figured out that before racial modifiers, using the standard array, summing together the modifiers, a PC gains 1 NAD 50% of the time, 2 NADs 33.33% of the time, and 3 NADs 16.67% of the time. The thing is, you...

I'm sorry, Pyrex is right. You can already do that with Readied Action, and you can still take a move action and a minor action on your turn. So you don't have to get your book out: PH 291: Ready an Action When you ready an action, you prepare to react to a creature's action or an event...

I know I've tried and failed at making RPG stuff, both for 4e and my own games. Yet we still keep trying...Good luck!

A conundrum that has been encountered in 4e is when optimized characters are paradoxical; they are either strong or tough, either fast or smart, and either wise or charismatic, but not both or neither. This is because the corresponding defenses pick the higher of the two modifiers, meaning the...

I thought the PH3 was just as good as all the previous PHs, and can't wait for more! In my view, each class has a distinct flavor and mechanical function that sets them apart from each other enough to warrent each different class. Even if I never see them in play, I like reading about them...

Yes. Win.

I don't think it's an "implication," but rather they're coming right out and saying it. There's going to be a series called Gazetteer, each one detailing an area of the core Points of Light campaign setting. It sounds like it could be a good source of inspiration; I approve, but it doesn't get...

S=\ I would be very interested in knowing what feat could possibly do that. Except if you look at the proficiency bonus of improvised weapons, they are all "n/a," meaning whether you are proficient in them or not, it doesn't matter. There's no proficiency bonus. On top of that, the...
