    D&D 4E Stacking in 4E?

    ... No, seriously, this is all plainly spelled out in the PHB. Get it, read it. Essentially, though, Like does not stack with like. The most powerful affect is the only one that applies. Feats. Powers. Damage Types. Etc, are all 'types' of stack.

    Dying - Multiple Times before rest

    This has been answered in a variety of places. You get 2 strikes before a rest, on the third, your out. Its a reference to the basic paradigm that healing is, for the most part, dependant on a characters natural resources (Healing surges and general fortitude.) You can only suffer x amount of...

    Caltrops?

    Most beasts will avoid caltrops if they can see them at all. My dog always avoids glass she can see.. and while she does some times get splinters from glass, and once a nasty cut from a shard, it never slows her down at the time. People don't have anywhere *near* the perceptions of beasts...

    Sacrificial Bunnies (Warlock curse question)

    a level is not an intangible. If its a level appropriate enemy in chains, he's still a threat, as far as I am concerned. I believe the spirit of the suggestion/rule is based around creatures of approximate power. If you'd put it in an encounter against the NPCs, then its a credible threat. If...

    Sacrificial Bunnies (Warlock curse question)

    They are tied up. >.> They sit there mewling like small rats.

    Stone rain (rapid shot) converted for PCs

    Whatever it takes? Multiclass to Ranger and take the powerswap feats for it. Or learn Blinding Barrage.

    The Point of Masterwork Armor?

    Personally, I'm going with the 'Enchant is required to be wearable' either due to the weight of the armour, or the flexibility of the textiles.

    [Points of Light Setting] The Residuum Must Flow (updated 6/24)

    I'm doing a similiar thing, in that Residium is the corner stone of the economy for my setting. Its a low-temperature, crop-unfriendly place, and much food production, general mining, etc, is dependant on rituals. Residium can be refined from natural sources, and is the key component in keeping...

    D&D 4E Crafting... can anyone make anything in 4E?

    Its fine, I like the idea, in fact, and I'm doing similiar things with rituals, to adjust the flow of gold in the economy. However; What sort of time frame are you using? If you are using the 3.5 timetables, anything you make up off RL times is going to be MASSIVELY longer, in most cases...

    Sacrificial Bunnies (Warlock curse question)

    *sigh* Derren, Regicide; You're threadcrapping again. You're arguments are worthless, because you start from a completely different baseline, one that is not, in general, shared here. I have no real problems, if somebody wants to use a bag of bunnies. The rules on placing a Warlocks Curse...

    Warlocks, Shadow Walk and Concealment (not Stealth)

    Think of it like a blurred shadowy outline, generated simply by the arcane powers of the warlock themself. Like the oldschool Blur spell, I guess.

    D&D 4E Dark Sun Conversion to 4E

    As opposed to permenant hitpoint drains (Which don't make a lot of sense in measuring pure physical lifeforce) I'd recommend losing a healing surge. I'd also recommend a ritual that allows you to restore it, by defiling a truly large area, or by sucking the very life from a powerful creature...

    Another "power sources" thread (this time without speculation)

    You think Body/animus/soul is a stretch for psionic/martial/ki? I think they are about perfect, to be honest. (In that order.) And I quite like that. I like the fact, that soul energy is an essential unknown in the assumed setting, that not even the gods know what it is.

    Knee deep in the dead

    *cries* I read this thread, and started humming the Opening Doom 1 music. >.< I didn't even notice, a co-worker did. Its a good idea. I'm using it. Corpses count as difficult terrain.

    No Animate Dead?

    In 3.5, all the animating force comes from the Negative Material Plane (Excluding those Eberron Undead and later releases powered by raw positive energy) Negative Material Planar energy, would be Planar!Evil. *That* Is why its an evil spell, and why animating a Golem was not.. And why a Flesh...

    GSL is up

    You can make an elven subrace, and publish it. But not an alternate elf. Its not a copyright issue. Its a "You want to use our logo? This is what you can/can't do."

    Making sense of rogue powers

    1 (Melee keyword requires melee range, if no altertative area is listed.) 2 - There is a thread covering blinding barrage. Regardless, you need 9 non-magic daggers, or 1 magic dagger. You've an interesting point about the lack of ranged keyword. I'll need to compare close blasts of different...

    No THF striker?

    Loss of imagination

    I flat out don't understand this kind of question. Less fluff is more space for self-description.

    attacking an area a little higher: blasts and bursts in 3D

    The game, as a rule, does not deal with fractions of squares. Neither will I, as DM. Aiming it 3 squares up to hit a large target and miss the mediums, I'd allow.
