Amateur hour. . . I can see you are new to DMing. The correct way to handle this. . . Sleep with the guy's girlfriend. Take pictures and keep them in your wallet or as a screen saver on your computer. Share them with your other friends. If the guy complains, ask him to point out where...

Actually. . . the purpose of a pen and paper roleplaying game is to have fun. Any rule that restricts or hinders having fun is a bad rule. WotC has finally embraced this idea fully and has tried to move the game away from '20 minutes of fun packed into four hours.' Sure 50gp plate may not...

Wow! That will teach them. I hope the Hasbro shareholders don't find out about this. . . the stock would go into free fall! Somebody not using a rule because he doesn't like where it is located?!!? LOL!!

VanRichten. . . see my sig. . . it applies to YOU.

Problem is, that doesn't make them very effective at breaking up movement at all. Just a minor inconvenience. You had to create huge fields of caltrops to have a significant effect. I'm not saying they should be super powerful weapons of doom or anything, but throwing down a square of...

You're not going to get hundreds of attacks period. Just the movement limitations will make it vitually impossible to get more than a dozen or so. But even that assumes enemies stacked up in every square around the fighter in an entire 180 degree arc in front of him, for several ranks. In...

I was planning on using caltrops in my first 4E session. I like the idea of the save. I think I might go with - Make a save when you enter a square filled with caltrops. If you fail you are slowed and cannot run or charge (save ends.)

Killjoy Cooking With the Dungeons & Dragons Crowd Lore Sjöberg 14 hours ago Cookbooks are a lot like Dungeons & Dragons and other role-playing games. They contain seemingly rigid rules that, in practice, require a certain amount of adaptation for your own tastes. So how come cooking gets...

This is ridiculous. There is not even any ambiguity in the rules here. As others have pointed out, wield means "to use." Wield does NOT mean 'to hold'. If you actually know what the word means, there is no question at all. If you don't then I suggest you look up words you don't know, its...

Why should they keep those people on the payroll, when there are thousands who will do it for free? Isn't all the stuff in Dragon eventually going to make its way into a future release? By the time it does so, it will already have been nitpicked to death - and then they can release the 'fixed'...

I think they wanted to make it a challenge to reach the new tier. . . but once you're there, wanted to 'catch you up' and get you into the new tier faster. Just a guess.

Maybe just organize them into groups by class, and then an "everything else" category? In your summary in the first post, you've integrated a rogue question into a cleric question.

No problems at all. Pages are fine. No smudges when tested.

I'm sure if I had a chance to study the books I could see where the invisibility could be overcome. . . but its really a moot point. As others have mentioned, this will be a solo encounter because Orcus will kill the rest of the party. If for some reason he is unable to effectively combat the...

You needed fire or acid to kill a troll in 1E, or you were just screwed. I'm only to happy to see those days come back! :) Of course, as mentioned, fire effects are going to be a lot more common these days than they were back in the day.

Ok. . . I haven't thought all the way through this. . . that's what I have you guys for! I thought I'd see if anybody had any good ideas on how to do this. What I'm interested in is a system whereby characters who die, can 'miraculously survive' but accquire a permanent battle scar that...

Is there some design reason why a 2h sword couldn't do 2d6?

Actually. . . I think many class concepts before. . . regardless of how they were built. . . . will have dedicated base classes under 4E. They're just not out yet. Two years from now there will be a slew of options of every kind and flavor. . . it's just going to take time to build up the...

Unfortunately your post will have almost zero effect on the people doing the things you are complaining about. Generally, the opinions of 95% of the people on the internet are worthless. . . but I keep coming back and finding the occasional gem. . . or more often actual interesting facts...

Not a bad build. . . . will go through a single tough opponent like a buzzsaw. . . great for 3E. . . not so great for 4E where its all about numbers though.
