I'm interested in playing a Dwarf Wizard multiclassed into Cleric, so I'd like an answer to how that would work as well.

If somebody cast this spell while in a battle with Strahd, I'd let him use a ritual that allows him to break into their mansion and steal all the alcohol. That'd be enough to motivate my PCs to hunt him down rather than wait. :D

My only dice ritual is that I can't roll d20s that have hard-to-read numbering. All my d20s are dark with clear, white numbers. Any d20 I have to squint to decipher will result in a string of critical misses, and I've noticed this trend with other players in our group as well. I've also become...

I agree that power gaming just for the sake of "winning D&D" is pointless, but min/maxing is inherent to any gaming system. I don't try to break the game or build an unstoppable force when I create a character, but I do try to make decisions that are optimal for my character's goals. I want my...

Congrats to the winners! Since the contest is over, here's my full submission (Entry C). It answers a lot of the problems that people expressed in the voting thread.. As much as I love the concept of Power Attack, I hate it's current version in the 3.5 RAW. One of the most common reasons...

That's a valid mechanical argument, but I love the flavor of minions so much that they are one of the things I'm most looking forward to using as a DM. The whole point of minions is to let the PCs squish them, so the lack of HP progression doesn't bother me. I want them to die in one hit, which...

My group has always embraced the concept of mixing and matching settings, especially in creating characters. For example, if the campaign is set in Ravenloft and you want to play somebody from the Realms just have the character pulled in by the mists as part of the backstory. Lots of our...

This is a 3.5 rewrite contest with 4e prizes. There are no powers in 3.5, so I think you're a little bit confused about the nature of the contest.

Ran the adventure last night and we had a blast. There were 3 players so I let each of them play 2 characters. One chose the Warlock and Ranger, another the Cleric and Fighter, and the last played the Wizard and Paladin. I'm the only person in our playgroup who has been following 4e news, but...

I don't see why gaining power should be related to time at all. Experience points represent how experienced you are at overcoming challenges (encounters). It shouldn't matter if you fight five encounters in a year or in 24 hours - it's an equal amount of experience. The leveling curve also...

If epic destinies are truly epic and high-level play doesn't bog down in 70 dice being rolled per turn, then I can't wait to DM an epic campaign.

Good. I'm tired of being the only person in my 3.5 group who can remember the rules for defensive casting, disrupting spells, etc. Hopefully Counterspelling, if it exists at all, will also be better implemented. I can't remember a single spell being countered in all my days playing 3.X.

What are the rules (if any) for disrupting spellcasting in 4e? I assume casting a spell still provokes opportunity attacks from adjacent enemies, but do you lose the spell if you're hit? Are there rules like Concentration in 3.X?

I'd like to see the finalists but judging a contest like this could take a while depending on how many submissions there were.

Priests in WoW wear cloth armor.

I think he means the "What are you doing to stop me from being too embarrassed to mention I play D&D within earshot of the high school football team?" question.

I expect many Fighter Powers to be linked to weapon type.

I want it now as well, but I've learned to be patient. In the meantime, reading about the conceptual changes in 4e has really got me thinking about my performance as a DM and what I can do to make gameplay smoother and more fun.

Who says they won't be consistent within the 4e D&D world? The way I'm reading these changes is that you can provide your NPCs and monsters with as much detail as necessary and ignore extraneous information that will have no impact on actual gameplay. I think we can all agree that this concept...

Yes, thanks for responding.
