    "My beast companion rolls to Aid me..."

    IIRC, the beast companion should have (or should be able to get) something called "shared perception", or something like that. It gives a +2 to perception checks when your beast companion is within X squares of you (I think it's 5 or 10 squares). I mention this because you said "(specifically...

    DM's computer

    I'll throw in another vote for Maptools. Go to Rptools.net, it's free, easy to use in its most basic format, and quite powerful if you want to put some time into it. I've been using Maptools for 2 campaigns/4 adventures now (the premade WotC adventures: H2, H3, P2 and P3) and its great. I scan...

    Damage of two types but immunity to one

    I don't know what the actual rules are, but I use a pretty basic house rule for this situation and it came up because one of my players has immunity to necrotic (intelligent item from one of the WotC campaigns). My rule goes like this: Any duel damage type is half and half. If something does X...

    P3 - Anyone run it?

    I am currently running P3 and my PCs just got past the Dracolich. The worst part of this adventure for me, so far, has been the Teeth. My PCs are INSANE when it comes to trying to see everything and go everywhere, and playing these pre-made adventures has just made things worse. I spent more...

    DMing with a laptop

    I DM with a laptop. I hook it up to my buddy's 50" TV and use MapTools to run encounters and it is slick. -No more looking through my friend's giant collection of minis to find good representations of monsters: I just find a picture online of the monster, take a screen grab and make a token...

    Can you help a bored DM?

    Well, first the rogue decided that it would be a good idea to see what kind of booty was in the ship's hold (though were he was going to hide it once he stole it was something I don't think he considered). That lead to the party trying to figure out how to get into the hold, steal everything...

    Can you help a bored DM?

    I ran KotS for my group about a year and a half ago, iirc, and the only part of the whole campaign that was memorable was the PC's interaction with Splug, who became a permenant part of our group (much to my dismay). I tried to kill Splug on several occations and the PCs kept stepping in, or...

    Some questions about flaming sphere

    This has come up a number of times in my game (I'm the DM). I'm not sure if there is an official ruling on this (haven't seen one) but I ruled in my campaign that you can move the sphere in any direction, but it has to be on a flat(ish) surface at the end of the move. So, the sphere can climb...

    D&D 4E Wemic 4e FR (PEACH) ^^

    Are you saying it's a 1x2 creature? (a long creature?). I guess that as long as they are not using oversized weapons, the large portion is probably not an issue. I think you have to limit the speed to 7 though, or take away one of their other racial abilities, to make them balanced. Then again...

    D&D 4E Wemic 4e FR (PEACH) ^^

    Might be overpowered I think your wemic might be a little overpowered. Large 8 move low light vision shield proficiency and natural weapons That's quite a lot. If you changed it to: meduim 7 move and kept the rest the same, then I'd say it would be more inline with other races...

    Cantrips and Wizard Multiclassing

    Multiclass II feats. Something like this came up in my group and I wrote up a "II" feats for all the multiclass feats. My "Arcane Initiate II" feat gave all the cantrips as Encounter powers, but when I made a thread about it (both here and at WotC) most people said that the cantrips should just...

    A couple ideas on how to bring back Save or Die spells

    Save or Save or Save or Die My only problem with giving the wizard "save or save or save or die" powers is that, for balance's sake, you are going to have to give similar powers to the other classes. If not, then you are once again saying "The Wizard is special because he gets magic" (which was...
