    Difficult to build race/class combos

    I have a tiefling fighter in my group -- newer player said she thought tieflings sounded cool, and wanted to play a fighter. I swapped the int bonus to a STR bonus for her character. Still a CHA bonus on a fighter. I'd do the same for any other newer player who also picks a bad-stats combo...

    D&D 4E 4e's Inorganic Loot System: Yay or Nay?

    I spose mine is a bit more TLDR than "a kid can use a magic knife, but THE MOUNTAIN THAT WALKS needs no knife at all." But still... anyway, that's the assumption.

    Keep on the Shadowfell Anticlimax(some spoilers)

    Holy crap, I'm going to do that. That's very cool.

    Trance ability

    If the player himself is playing an Eladrin, and he's playing the only Eladrin, that's cool, strip his power for this game. You could even give him a neat little benefit, like a dreaming power, or something similar. Nothing wrong with not wanting a benefit because it doesn't fit your idea of...

    Will taking the same encounter power twice break anything?

    If you're going to allow this as the DM, just say that if someone is going to do so, you want to review it. For a couple reasons -- if they want to take a power twice that they think is cool, that should be fine. If they want to take a power twice that is somehow broken in a combo, just ban...

    D&D 4E 4e's Inorganic Loot System: Yay or Nay?

    That isn't how the magic threshold system works. The trident isn't magical, the sahaugin wielding it is magical. It is so magical that if it did pick up a +2 (or whatever) trident, it wouldn't be of any benefit. If it picked up a +3 (again, or whatever,) it would be sufficient enough to give...

    D&D 4E 4e's Inorganic Loot System: Yay or Nay?

    Dead on. I really like the parcel system, however so far in running the game I've ignored it completely.

    Three more days

    Possible upcoming extension on the ban. Check Meta. The wars are ridiculous. I hope the ban sticks.

    Invisible Paladin

    You know, I would rule that the wizard would take damage in that instance -- he violated the terms of the challenge and attacked someone else, even if he incidentally happened to accidentally tag the paladin too. Of course, this is merely a house rule. However, I do feel it reflects the spirit...

    Mechanics vs Description (Forked Thread: Disarm rules)

    How disarm ends the fight: Someone disarms a monster. Wizard, who was delaying, uses a minor action to mage hand it away. Fight is trivialized, unless monster has other attacks. Personally, I think disarming should be an option, but it should also be a remarkbly difficult option... something...

    Invisible Paladin

    Quick, albeit tangential question -- Regarding the spirit of the rules as divine challenge is written. This spirit of the rules is perhaps easier to ascertain as the ability has been rewritten, and the community has seen two versions of the ability. Would anyone argue that the spirit of the...

    Forked Thread: Rules for Parents who Bring Their Kids to Their Game

    I wish this was also my experience. I play with a couple, at their house, and their 3 year old goes to bed at consistently around midnight. Apparently, their daycare has the kid sleep all day...

    How drunk do I get? - need rules for intoxication

    What I would use is -1 for tipsy, -2 for drunk, and -4 for falling down drunk. Falling down drunk would also automatically grant combat advantage to an opponent. You could make a single feat counteract all of that. Assuming you want some bonuses for drunkenness, it can also grant you...

    So THAT's why Regdar gets no love...

    Yes, it is racist, and sexist, that Regdar is a white male human fighter in the center of the art. Yep. What it isn't is evil, or even necessarily wrong. Racism and sexism are very loaded terms. Catering to an audience does not make you evil. More poignantly, it isn't even necessarily...

    Channel Divinity Feats

    For Sehahine's Reversal, you could have this function if the cleric rolls between a 16-20 on their save. Or any other arbitrary number that seems appropriate. Condition reflection is rather great, especially when most conditions will be reflected at controller monsters... who are exactly the...

    Sensing the presence of magic - isn't the mechanic backward?

    Heck, I think I'll houserule it myself for my games. I like powerful magic items punishing you for daring to inspect them magically. I remember my players enjoying it when their monstrous kobold characters took an item they had found to a kobold wizard to identify, and his eyes burned out of...
