    New previews!!!

    From the DM Kit picture, I must say that Grabbed is a welcome addition to the Conditions list on the DM screen. It's long annoyed me that it wasn't there. Also added is Removed From Play, which is nice. Adventures in both boxes is a nice touch.

    Newbie Q: Magic Item Markup

    cpendlet, the Player's Handbook says (page 224) that "Prices shown are the base market price for the items. The actual cost to purchase a magic item depends on supply and demand and might be 10 to 40 percent more than the base market price." So the book seems to assume that the "usual" method...

    Newbie Q: Magic Item Markup

    DracoSuave, CovertOps, I've got to say I'm with Grandpa here. The paragraph certainly does explain a way of figuring out mark-up, Draco, but it is presented as an alternate way to the "usual" way. The "usual" way is nowhere in evidence. Covert, Grandpa isn't misinterpreting the method...

    Are you learning anything from D&D Encounters?

    They can. There's an option box right at the top of the character sheet window that gives the options Hide Flavor Text, Flavor Text Above Power, and Flavor Text Below Power.

    d20 vs. 3d6 "dice heresy" by Chris Sims

    I must admit to finding his article confusing. I thought I was following along just fine... then out of nowhere comes "These elements taken together led me to using a bell-curve determiner for D&D attack rolls". Let me see if I have his position correct. Maybe I've misinterpreted...

    How many practice sessions did you have?

    It's certainly possible to die and not be raised in 4E. I wouldn't be on my fifth character in my first campaign otherwise... --- In that campaign, which started right after the game released, we had no practice sessions, but jumped straight in. My DM let me swap my character out for the...

    WotC Updates

    What seems to be happening is that the links and RSS feeds are going live at the same time they were before the revamp, midnight Eastern time. The articles themselves, however, aren't going live until midnight Pacific for the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday updates. So for three hours, the links...

    Class Acts: Greatweapon Fighter

    Oh it's definitely overpowered. My Barbarian/Fighter should have a +5 Con mod at that level, and never really has a use for minor actions. There's no reason NOT to take the Acolyte Power feat and grab this power. Even if it was a Daily stance that needed a Standard Action to activate, it would...

    Char Op & Barbarians

    My barbarian far prefers Acrobat boots: getting up from prone as a minor action is quite useful.

    Which published Wizards 4e adventures have you played?

    I've played Thunderspire Labyrinth, and I've DMed Kobold Hall and Keep on the Shadowfell. I'm currently running Thunderspire, and recently picked up Pyramid of Shadows with the intention of running it next.

    Killing the d20-The Bell Curve roll

    Keep in mind that this will mean that bonuses and penalties to die rolls when you're near the middle of the curve or triangle will be significantly greater than out near the ends. Marking a creature that has a 50% chance of hitting your allies with a d20 means it goes down to a 40% chance of...

    Broken things errata'ed, July 2009

    Battlerager Vigor now triggers on YOU hitting with melee and close, rather than being hit. Invigorating powers no longer stack for you, instead they give THP if you miss.

    Divine Power Excerpt: Rituals

    Ritual as skill challenge is a pretty cool idea, if you ask me. I hope we get more ones like that going forward.

    Revenant up

    There's the basic limitation of prereqs: you're only ever going to count as Revenant and one other race, so you can't qualify for multiple soul feats, except where they've intentionally given a race more than one. As far as the complaint others have made about the soul feats taking up so much...

    KotS - Glyphs

    My players conjured up a Tenser's Floating Disk to float over the runes, after having triggered one. I figured if jumping over them is supposed to be safe, then floating over them should be as well.

    Hybrid Playtest part 2

    Cool, I missed that.

    Hybrid Playtest part 2

    They say, in the article itself, that Hybrid won't be supported in the Character Builder at this time.

    My First 4e TPK!

    I've seen two TPK's so far with 4E. First, as a player. Fifth level party, in the encounter that would have taken us to 6. Dwarf Cleric of Tempus (originally of Kord, as we started when the PHB first came out, and transported ourselves to Forgotten Realms once the FRPG arrived/ This was the...

    No, DEX is primary for all monks, according to the article.

    Free Keep on the Shadowfell at Wizards.com

    To follow up; my players through me a curveball and decided that instead of dealing with Irontooth they'd go and try and find Kalarel. So, back to the Keep instead, and into a couple of encounters that hadn't really changed much. We cut off just before Sir Keegan, both because it was getting...
