They couldn't do a teleport with V to get to Greysky anyway, as the wizard took conjuration as hir barred school. Silly min-maxers. Are the Azure City teleport mages still around?

The Europe centric settings can sometimes seem repetitive, but really, I've tried Arabian-themed settings and dabbled with Far East elements, and found that working in a D&D-style fantasy genre inevitably leads to European flavor regardless of where you try to place it. I think it's partially...

I was thinking of the non-dwarf party members that have to assist and pimp out the dwarf, whether through skill or magic. It would make for a good comedy session, but as a campaign I imagine it would get out of hand. Dungeons and Ho's would be an entirely different genre, I think. Back to...

I'm looking for the chance to play with a group in my area. I live on the western side of Pittsburgh. I would prefer to be a player initially, but would consider DMing. The only limitation on DMing would be that I couldn't host, as I have a small apartment. I'm likewise limited in terms of...

Well, that's better than a campaign where you try to get the dwarf laid several thousand times so that you can be sure he's fathered a thousand children just so he can destroy an artifact.

I'm not the best min-maxer, but I like themes... this package was chosen to maximize combat advantage opportunities through skill bonuses, flanking opportunities, and straight-up giving away a combat advantage. I call it... Surprise!

I'm trying to imagine what kind of campaign that must have been for the Dwarf PC. On second thought, no.... :eek:

If the wizard's player takes his turn at DMing, I would recommend picking up Ritual Caster as a feat at some point. It's not essential, but it will but some options back on the table when the wizard PC is not available because his player is running the game.

I think that ranger outstrips rogue in popularity in this edition because of versatility, and that this accounts for its dominance in the striker role at this time. This may change after Martial Power. I can't be the only one that does this, but at this point I'm more inclined to make a human...

I don't doubt that you can do it, but it sounds like the two styles wind up as completely different games to me. Keep in mind that I'm not saying one or the other is superior or inferior to the other. Several things I wonder about during this discussion: While I don't doubt that the group...

Never mind.

They'd have to send someone over to do my dishes once a month. Or maybe my laundry. I own products from every edition of D&D... the one thing I have the least of is published adventures. I had one ancient solo adventure called the Ghost of Lion's Castle when I was a kid, and have one 3rd...

Knock. It's controversial to some due to the argument of making rogues redundant, but it's an indelible mark on D&D from O to 3rd. It appears in every D&D inspired video game, from the old TSR Gold Box Engine games in 1988 to Dungeons and Dragons Online in 2006. It's the poster child of the...

Fourth Edition solves this nicely, as maintaining your divine powers is not dependent on the tacit approval of your god. Your powers are granted by a ritual, sort of like an ordination ceremony. Do something the god likes, you don't gain any more power than you should have at your level. Do...

I can understand why they continue mechanically, but conceptually perhaps a good house rule would be to have the character have to spend the same action they expended to activate the stance to resume the stance when the regain consciousness (ie, getting back into position or recovering their...

I suppose that one of my bigger weaknesses when I run a game is that I always want in-story logic and consistency. One of my biggest hurdles is "why is this group of characters together?" The thing I would least want to do is run a game where a group of adventurers meet at a tavern, or a group...

So... are they cows that do factory farming or people that do factory farming with dairy cows? I was personally riveted with: This is definitely someone who loves their Tieflings! Or, perhaps just someone who just completely misunderstood the Chaotic Neutral alignment.

It's not like they didn't know Dark Pact was coming. It must have at least been in the planning stages to some degree prior to the PHBI coming out. That makes four pacts, two for CHA and two for CON. It's also not like there aren't already classes with an uneven number of powers per stat...

Isn't this entire site basically just one big 4th edition review? There are topics here ranging from every possible aspect of the game and what people like or don't like.
