    Munch me a blaster character, please!

    Well, we've managed to survive to 2nd level. So of course the 2 of us wizards have a question neither we nor the DM has an answer for. The chart on page 29? says pick a Utility power. The text on page 158? says choose 2 utility powers, and you can cast 1 per day. So if I've understood this...

    Munch me a blaster character, please!

    Looks like I'll have an extra week before I get to try these out. An old friend is in town so I'm skipping our 4E start session and going to hang out with her. We may throw together another game or play some board games. From the sounds of it, the rest of the party is a warlock, wizard, and...

    Munch me a blaster character, please!

    Ah yes, I did mean 1st level. And as far as stat generation, I really don't know except what the DM said, "normal". I think there is a default method in the PHB and that's most likely what he meant. Fire and frost mages, cool! I'll have to print them out and sit down to check them out, thanks!

    Munch me a blaster character, please!

    For various reason, my 4E books haven't touched since I got them. And now our first session is this coming weekend. I'm not an early adopter of 4E and my only previous experience was disjointed and unsatifying, but I'm hoping one or more of you with some 4E under your belt would find it fun to...

    Advancing a creature and revising CR

    I haven't actually tried calculating this myself, though I guess when I'm finished advancing the monster I'll see how it works, but to get the new challenge rating do you just do as it says in the MM appendix, i.e. add based on new HD and added abilities or should you recalculate based on the...

    [Dawning Star] Check out these stats for Helios Rising!

    He can't answer the page count, that would spoil the contest. Guess the page count and you could win!

    Hordes of the Abyss: Q&A

    Oh I would not have ever suggested any questionable behavior, in fact I suspected one way or the other you knew exactly what you were doing. :)

    Design a Room Challenge - T'Nusis Deep Space Mining Facility

    I had a draft for a room, but I cleaned it up after posting before the crash, so the draft is skeletal. It's for the admin area/director's office.

    Hordes of the Abyss: Q&A

    Does the book use the new stat block format, bah!, or the good ol' format?

    Buying action points

    Adding them might be useful if the encounters are truly deadly.

    How often does the grapple mechanic come up in your game?

    The fact that the mechanic for grappling is still obtuse, even in 3.5 makes it an option almost never used by players. Monsters usually initiate it and I can't think of any session where we actually followed the published rules.

    CSI Miami, Lawful Good, and Paladins... ?

    I suppose a Lawful Good character would also make sure the junior detective also made amends for his crime, but it might not be "punishment". More like community service or something less harsh. But this is a perfect time to ask. Last week or the week before on CSI Miami, they had this cut...

    Treasure, challenge, and fun

    They don't stack, cause if they did, by the end of reading all 5 books you'd have +15 to a stat.

    Good ambient/environmental sounds for a game?

    Didn't a Planescape product have a mimir-cd rom? I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for, or actual ambient sounds of nature and the environment.

    Explorer's Handbook Overview

    Felon, if you haven't check out the preview at the Wizards website, it might help you. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20050803a&page=1 Definitely read the How to Survive an Airship crash, if only for the entertainment value.

    Share you worst campaign meltdown

    Our worst blow out was a mid to high level 3E game a few years ago. Reflecting on the last session with the other players I came to two conclusions. 1. All the players had ran their own 3E games, thus we had come to expect "this many encounters per session, challenge rating works like this...

    How to increase a constructs hit points?

    I'm going to show the stats I have now to the DM and see what he says, then mention max HP's. Considering the wide berth we've been given with this experiment, I would say max HP is not too much to ask.

    How to increase a constructs hit points?

    This is a "fighter construct" of unique nature. It is a warforged husk we found and with a forge, schema and magic spells, we've animated it. The DM said I can stat it out, as a 3rd level fighter of Construct type. Essentially a cheap golem or complex animated object.
