    Wed 4/20 news post typo

    Hey, I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but the news post for today (4/20) lists Dungeon 112 as being available at the ENWorld store, but it should read Dungeon 122 (based on the cover and the fact that 122 is the issue that just came out). The name also needs to be changed...

    Warforged - I've seen them in play, and they are balanced/too weak/too strong.

    I have a warforged in my current campaign that started at level one, and is now at level nine. In my estimation, warforged are about on par with dwarves for quailty, which is to say they are as good as the strongest PC race, at least in a fighting class. In the early levels they are perhaps...

    Does SR protect your Mirror Images?

    What exactly is covered under "react beliveably" anyway? Are figments actually objects? Would they (for example) be oulined with a glitterdust or farie fire spell? On a side note, Arcane Sight would be a pretty effective counter I would think, you should easily be able to pick out the real mage...

    Does SR protect your Mirror Images?

    So wait a sec, you're telling me I can pop a Mirror Image with a Melf's Acid Arrow, but not with a fireball, because Melf's Acid Arrow is an "attack" and fireball is not? How does that make sense?

    Whats the best you've ever rolled

    ...on damage to kill something? Not in terms of total damage delt, but just you were stunned by how well you had rolled? During my game the other night, a paladin in my group finished off a 12-HD skeleton which had been created by a necromancer with the Destruction Retribution feat from Libris...

    If a Paladin Lays on Hands a incorporal undead, does the 50/50 miss chance apply?

    Hmm, perhaps I was not clear enough. In my understanding, whether an attack is magical or not has nothing to do with whether or not it can hit an incorporial creature (you can hit it with a plain old non-magical longsword if you want, it just won't take any damage). It does determine whether...

    If a Paladin Lays on Hands a incorporal undead, does the 50/50 miss chance apply?

    The way I read the text in the MM, there is no miss chance involved. Nowhere does it refer to a miss chance or your attacks missing or even concealment. Here is the relevant text: "It can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons or creatures that strike as magic weapons, and...

    Built for speed

    A character in my campaign has speed 70, I don't have his sheet in front of me, but lets see if I can do it from memory. Lets see, I think he is currently Barbarian1/Psycic Warrior3/Fighter1/Elocater (Psionic prestiege class)1, so currently character lvl 6. For the record, the sources I allow...

    When are you considered "balancing?"

    aha, this is what I am driving at, so when are you "technically balancing?" Is it in one of the four situations I described above, or is it something else?

    When are you considered "balancing?"

    How is that differant from option 3? Is there a situation where moving out of a square that requires a balance check to move through or across would not provoke a balance check?

    When are you considered "balancing?"

    First of all, my apologies if this has been covered before if so could someone please post a link? Under what circumstances are you considered to be balancing, and possibly flat-footed? Here is the relevant text from the SRD: "You can walk on a precarious surface. A successful check lets you...

    How many of you have tried designing youor own game?

    A few years back when I was in college, a buddy of mine and I spent about 3 months during the summer desinging our own rpg system. It was loosly based on Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying, and set in the Wheel of Time world (this was before the WoT RPG was out, and we wanted to try playing in that...

    Effective party of Eberron PCs?

    I am also running an Eberron campagin. The party is really strong, actually, they consist of: Warforged Paladin (despite the -2 WIS and CHA, he had the stats to pull it off, he also has the adamantine body feat, the DR is really strong). Human Artificer/Urban Ranger (from Unearthed Arcana)...

    Prophetic Magic Items

    How about a mirror that only reflects illusions. It would obviously do nothing against someone invisiable, but if somone were using an illusion to disguise himself, or mask a doorway or something it could come in handy. Otherwise its effect is pretty minor I think.

    9 new races, please comment

    Ok, here are some races I am thinking of using for a campaign I am planning. Each of these races has a +1 level adjustment. In the campaign, the players will be restricted to these races, or the Aasimar or Tiefling from the SRD (with the humanoid type instead of the Outsider (native) type), or...
