Escape from Zanzer's Dungeon from the Black D&D Boxed Set. I ran it, w/ no problems-- since most of the monsters in it are available from various leaked & preview materials. The only thing that I had to "make up" was unarmed fighting-- I declared a punch does 1d3 damage (the PCs have to fight...

It depends on the 4E rules themselves. The more contingencies addressed by the official rules, the less on the fly rulings a DM will get away with. This is why Rule 0 was more like a suggestion in 3.x-- the rules covered so many possible contingencies, that there was no "need" for DM decisions...

Post most carefully Else mods move this thread away To Obscurity

Oh my Haiku thread! why must all threads I create perish so quickly?

Oh Daily Power! Thou art so great in power Except Sleep. You suck.

So I was thinking that it might be fun for us to make some Haikus about 4th Ed. The rules of the thread are as follows: All posts (other than these instructions) must be in Haiku form. This means that if you take issue with someone's post, and want to respond, your response must ALSO be a...

They are only required for half-orcs, druids, barbarians, sorcerers, bards, and monks. So only people who want to play those classes have to pay the ransom.

They may be shooting themselves in both feet. Observe: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=222665&page=1&pp=30 Probably the most important thread on this messageboard in the last month.

Clark, I admire your optimism in times like this. I honestly hope that it all works out for you!

You know, about 2-3 months ago, I remember making a prediction: "I think that WotC is going to let the 3rd party publishers twist in the wind, and at the last minute decide not to have an OGL for them to use w/ 4E to weaken/destroy some 3rd party publishers, so that they will be the only...

So today I finally got to PLAY 4e (instead of DMing it w/ the preview materials). I played the dwarf fighter, and aside from my daily, only used one maneuver-- Tide of Iron. I had me a lot of fun with that. I used it to push 2 enemies off the top of a 30' tower, and then in the final combat...

With the area of effect attacks, a way that I do it in BASH! w/o minis: A 2x2 area of effect will hit 2 targets, 1 if targets are spread out (or person is being super careful on aim), and 4 if targets are packed together tightly. A 4x4 area of effect will hit 5 targets, 2 if targets are...

I have a feeling if you release a free PDF with details on how to make Half-orc barbarians, and Gnomish Bards, and that it is really popular, that Hasbro will send you some old-school TSR of the 1990s style cease & desist orders. If you were smart you would publish all such things under the...

Oh great. Does this mean you have to buy the martial sourcebook to make a nimble fighter? Just like you need a PH2 for a half-orc barbarian, or MM2 for a frost giant? This really disappoints me-- I like the rules of 4e, but cannot in good conscience actually buy any books to reward this kind...

I agree! Two-Weapon Feint-- m, Standard, At Will. Your foe reacts to your attack from your sword, leaving an opening for your dagger to slip through When wielding a weapon in each hand, roll 2d20 for the attack roll, taking the better of the two. For the damage roll, use the worse of the...

Something that I was wondering about is whether the MM will also have any "default" generic monsters. There are Gnoll Clawfighters, Gnoll Huntsmen, but are there any generic "Gnolls"? What should we assume is the "default" of all these monsters that exist, since each thing will probably have at...

Elan will die, and stay dead b/c he isn't high enough level! When bards are released for 4e, they will find out that he does have a destiny and rez him.

Yeah, but if it is only with Pregens, I don't think that would threaten their sales any. Its not like people will be happy playing the same Halfling Paladin or Eladrin Ranger that they had no say in character creation. They could probably release the Pregens at 6th, 15th, and 25th levels and...

Running is much better than in 3.5. It means that in a SINGLE MOVE ACTION you get to move an extra 2 squares. In 3.x it was like, a full round action to run-- you had to waste your whole turn on it. Double move in 3.x can still be done in 4E-- AND you can run for both those moves! In 4E, you...

Check the first one at least-- casters get at will attacks starting at level 1, and lots of extra spells /day based on level begining at level 2.
