It's a 10 or higher, making it a 55% chance. Edit: Beaten to the punch.

Huh. I have exactly the opposite reaction from mhensley (OK, not EXACTLY opposite since I wasn't playing the fighter but you get the picture). Our fighter seemed extremely tough, going toe-to-toe with a couple of enemies in an ambush long enough the rest of the party to clear a flank and come...

I played 4E (well, the version available through H1) for the first time this week and I have to agree that it felt like D&D. Was the session deep, immersive roleplay? Not really. Did I have a lot of fun pretending to be a half-elven holy warrior zorching the snot out of a bunch of kobolds with...

I imagine that this comes from the fact that that's where pretty much anything that wasn't divine, physical or psionic went. It's a hard habit to kick.

I've read this a couple times and I'm not sure what you're upset about. If all the monsters in the MM are in DDM, how can you tell from which source each monster "originally" came?

The general belief I've heard (mostly over on RPGnet) has been that you spend a feat or some similar resource to have the ability to get abilities from different classes. Someone who doesn't grab from multiple classes should therefore have more feats to spend on maximizing their abilities in...

As a player, we'll be continuing in the same campaign we've been playing for the last 8 years - bureaucrats from a 18th century England in an Arabic embassy (very, very loosely). As a GM, I have an idea for a 1-30 campaign (loosely) based off of the bloodstone pass series. Heroic tier will be...

To be fair, any information you get from this poll will be useless in a larger sense (even if you ignore PirateCat's very reasonable response of "there's no way to tell yet") since you're taking data from a selection that is functionally a tiny dot in the population that is interesting.

The reason that I didn't speak about alignment wars is that I have somehow managed to play D&D for 22 years without getting in one. I have no experience in them. IP conflict did when I was younger and neither my friends nor I were particularly skilled in conflict resolution. It hasn't been an...

Well, IC party infighting and OOC party infighting are two different things. I don't know about Lizard, but I'd say that IC isn't always bad.

The single best roleplaying session I've ever been in was based on an argument between my character and another's about what to do with a powerful artifact. Ethical dilemmas can be great characterization (so long as they grow naturally out of play and aren't forced).

OOC: Little bit of a nitpick - Leland should be at L6

Leland moves L4 -> M5 -> L6 and attacks the Worg.

Initiative: (1d20) = 5 Leland grimaces as the arrow scores his flesh and charges goblin #3. Attack Roll: (1d20+9=15) Damage Roll: (2d6+4=10) If that puts the goblin down, he cleaves to Goblin #2 Attack Roll: (1d20+9=20) Damage Roll: (2d6+4=11)

I'd guess that 10th level D&D characters are not the sort of characters you are interested in playing/running for. Either cap games at lower levels, give out less XP or change to a more deadly system (GURPS isn't bad, IIRC). I believe a significant of the problem is a difference between what...

Which makes me pretty happy, as it models one of the other characters in my campaign pretty nicely.

Because you don't play with my friends and me?

I'd rather have the healing to fallen ones, personally. Mostly because given the choice (assuming the two options are exclusive) between "Players A & B no longer get to participate and become passive observers to how awesome Player C's character becomes" and "Players A, B & C all get to...

Leland moves in to just inside the door (L3) and reactivates Detect Evil. Spot check (1d20+1 = 2)

Listen Check: (1d20+1 = 5) Leland pulls out his Everburning Torch and holds it in his off hand as they advance.
