    Dragonshield Tactics ( again, I know)

    Classic example of worrying more about the RAW than rules that make any kind of sense. If it's stupid, not fun and disruptive then it doesn't even matter what the RAW says. Assume its a mistake and play in a constructive way, not one that will start arguments that the players will be on the...

    The Star Pact Handicap

    I do believe similar bonuses don't stack, so just the normal +1/+2 I think.

    Custom Magic Item Rules?

    Are there any rules for making and pricing custom magic items, and are there any rules for stacking weapon abilities onto one weapon? Can you have a flaming dragonslaying weapon or can you just not merge weapons now?

    Temporary Hit Points...

    This is a guess, but like almost everything else, it's encounter.

    Something "Shifty" Going On (Spoiler Warning!!!)

    "Spoiling" the charge would be an accurate assessment imo. It's not a case of a monster thwarting the PC cleverly, it's just the PC getting screwed out of his action. No matter how the rules turn it out, I wouldn't use it that way. It's very useful for maintaining flanking, which I think is...

    So any bets when the first books will show up?

    I'm confused how that isn't the same.

    Preorder, cancel, preorder, cancel etc

    Cripes, just realized that Amazon won't get me my books until the 17-23. o_O Waiting 2 weeks after release? I dunno about that. Anyone know an online venue that will ship earlier? Edit: Ah. Apparently if you choose free shipping they put you in the back of queue and you have to wait 4...

    GMs: What lessons have you learned from playing/other GMs?

    As someone who does this, in fact I DM basically exactly like that but less organized... and is now very embarrassed by watching that video, it is the most fun way to DM for sure. Oddly enough since you're the DM you can make your NPCs act in ways you might be hesitant to have your PC act, as...

    Orcs preview

    Hm. Thinking too much of them as monsters than as a society. Basically, it's just a level 7 orc. What stops level 7 orcs? Level 7 humans hopefully. That's like saying "Well, some towns have a level 8 adventurer in them so why are they any orcs?" Mind you orcs have commoners as well, women...

    Who was right

    Why would someone come in... ask peoples advice, listen to their opinions, then tell them they're opinions are invalid and wrong... and keep asking for advice. Someone who doesn't want anything but validation. Sheesh. You are not acting for a discussion you want people to agree with you or be...

    D&D 4E My Warlord Concept - Why Does 4e Fail?

    Well, it didn't fit your weird class fantasy so yes, the system is entirely "lame". I'm sorry I'm actually confused as to what you want... you want to shoot people, and have it inspire people with the cool way in which you shoot them? Warlords inspire people through their actions and rhetoric...

    Helm of Opposite Alignment, Efreeti, and You

    Indentured service isn't slavery. If you keep sending him on suicide missions then yes you're not being chaotic good... but as long as you don't treat him like an expendable resource there isn't anything necessarily wrong about forcing an evil creature into service instead of murdering him...

    Scroll of Revivify

    Well, divine ward is one way. Besides that I would think a readied item on a belt or some such could be pulled as far of a move action. Basically I allow anything as complex as drawing a weapon to be done while moving.

    Help w/ Item Powers - Sword of 4 Souls

    Okay by "weapon of legacy" I really just mean it improves over time. I'm not really down with the penalties associated with them. It is an artifact, but one that actually harbored the soul of the second strongest corruptive devil to grace the prime material, so it's powers are a little screwed...

    Help w/ Item Powers - Sword of 4 Souls

    I need help figuring out the exact powers of an artifact I've given my level 10 players. It will also be a weapon of legacy and advance in power as they progress. Okay, heres the gist of the item. It's a +2 sentient silver holy longsword that was enchanted to slay a very powerful devil lord...

    [FR] Where does Gargauth Live?

    So he lives on the Prime Material Plane, but does anything ever reference where in particular he resides? Gargauth is the arch-devil demigod of corruption, I would imagine he has possession of some city somewhere unknown to the residents.

    drows and duergar as "evil" races

    Pretty sure Duergar are lawful evil normally though. Though you did say personal take.

    RA Salavatore Books vs 4.0 E

    I think Sitara was trying to imply that they're not very faithful to the rules, and I'd agree.
