Well, that depends on the party makeup. Given the choice between the monsters attacking me (AC 16) or the paladin (AC 20-23, lots more healing options), I'd much prefer they focus entirely on the paladin. If you've got even one defender in the party, having them soak up the attacks is usually...

I'm confused--Where is the -5 to the archer's fort save coming from? What additional weapon feats does the TWF get? Keep in mind he'll also: be attacked far less often spend half as much money to get the same benefit from magic weapons only need to draw one weapon when going into combat (just...

I'm playing a dual-axe-wielding ranger now, and loving it. He's going battle axe/hand axe for now (for the versatility of throwing that hand axe). But once he can afford a second battle axe, that's the way to go. He's got Weapon Focus (Axe), so he gets a +1 damage to every attack he makes. Nareau

I'm playing a two-weapon-fighting ranger, and beginning to think the ranged ranger would have been a more powerful build. My thinking is that they're pretty well matched in terms of powers (ie, just about all the attack powers can be used in melee or ranged, or there are equivalent powers for...

I think that's the most sensible reading. I think there are two reasonable strict readings that hinge on the word "none": "None" could refer to "No attacking the target, no standing next to the target, and no challenging a new target". This reading would mean challenging a different target is...

Indeed. Keeping an Eladrin imprisoned would require some effort! Nareau

As has been pointed out in a couple of places, the Ranger Attack 3 power "Shadow Wasp Strike" is strictly worse than the Ranger Attack 1 power "Evasive Strike". Can you suggest a balanced houserule for how to fix SWS? Nareau

My feeling on this is that such stunts should err on the side of being too low. Swinging from a chandelier is awesome, and so attempts to do so should usually succeed. At 1st level, my ranger has a +7 to his acrobatics. So a DC of 15 means he has a 65% chance of success. Here's how I would...

I've got an Audiovox 6700, and I've been overall very pleased with it. If you can stick it out for a few months, it might be worth waiting for an Android capable phone. Sprint is part of the Open Handset Alliance, so hopefully they'll be among the first to carry them in the US. Nareau

The quick reply box isn't locked by default. Clicking the Quick Reply button doesn't clear out the text from the quick reply box. The formatting buttons in the quick reply box aren't clickable. Clicking "Go Advanced" under the quick reply box generates an error. All this in FF3. When you...

Count me in! Nareau

I'll take Thursday 12:00-2:00 Nareau

There are some very well done maps of the island from Lost: http://images.lostpedia.com/images/4/45/Cool2.jpg http://images.lostpedia.com/images/d/db/Lost_island_map_template.png http://images.lostpedia.com/images/e/ea/LOST_ILE.jpg These particular maps don't contain spoilers for the show. Nareau

I heartily agree with all of Olaf's suggestions. We recently finished up a 6-year campaign that saw the characters rise from 1st to 20th level, and there's no way we could have done it without every one of those tips. One thing I'd add: Talk to your players about the issue outside of the...

Excellent, thanks guys! Nareau

It looks very familiar, and I'm thinking I saw it in the Monstrous Compendium back in the day. Anyone know who the artist is, and where it first appeared? Nareau

Yup, you missed part of a post. Part of DG's post was hidden behind a spoiler tag. You have to click-and-drag over the bottom half of his post to reveal his translation. It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma! :D Nareau

Wow! Lots of excellent feedback. I'll need to tackle this one bit at a time... That's certainly something I'm concerned about. However, I know Daniel is really good at this kind of thing. I think that by handing them the pieces (printouts mounted to foam core), they'll have more fun being...

I'm putting together a Hollow Earth Expedition campaign, and have a mystery that's central to the game. I'm worried that it's going to be WAY too hard to figure out, because it requires several steps, understanding the nature of the riddle, and understanding the techniques to solve it. My...

I know. I also neglected to include internal features (such as cloisters). For the purpose of this exercise, I'm just looking for edge combinations. I'm interested because I'd like to catalog all the tiles we've got, and be able to keep a list of "how many of what tiles" exist. I think that...
