Oh! Yeah, those are good ideas! I was thinking about how to divert stuff, but I didn't think about a control room. Though I doubt PCs would like to go crawling through pipes that were earlier filled with sewage, even if it's been diverted since. I really like the support of engineering, though...

The way I've always imagined Bards... Well, first off, it isn't just normal singing (/dancing, story-telling, etc), I imagine that he is concentrating quite hard on it, and there are some definite magical effects. A singing or instrumental bard has ethereal accompaniment. A dancer has ethereal...

I'd take the creature and flip it around. The orc war chief just cast magic missile on your ass.

That is a really awesome idea. Why aren't my players so imaginative? I guess I need to tell them to try and abuse things rather then following the examples. Sure, I might have to say no more, but not as much as they think.

Now, I've posted this kind of thing in General before, but I'm still not sure if this is the place for it, or the Plots and Places forum. Please tell me so I don't make a mistake again, or at least so I don't feel like I'm making a mistake. Anyway, I'm a fairly new GM, making my own adventures...

I like Dragonborn. It seems to be the only race bigger then a human. I mean, sure, a dwarf is thicker, but the human stands taller. Are tiefling bigger then a human as well, I wonder. (As in bonuses to Str or Con)

A wizard taking a fighter feat could cast a split-second spell that strengthens her muscles enough to pull of the fighter power. A fighter could take a wizard feat, allowing him to make maneuvers while in combat that mimic the somatic components of the spell. Obviously not going to happen, but...

A controller in DnD is like a controller on an xbox. Slow, weak, and doesn't do exactly whats promised, but heavy enough that you can pick it up and use it to bludgeon the guy beside you. I think the new Sorc is going to be a cross between Wizard and Wilder. You don't get the fire armor effect...

Warlord: "Fighter, you go up to the left of those goblins and make them move towards the pits. Rogue, you go around the back and pick them off. Wizard, cast Summon Playboy III, I'll standby and protect you if anyone gets past fighter." -Editted because I wanted to put some actual stuff in-...

Why wouldn't they? :D Same idea as hiding behind a rock: make yourself as small and hard to hit as possible. My cat makes an attack from prone, pouncing on a mouse. Or when it is lying on its back, claws up in the air. God, I hate that cat.

I don't see the harm in having a small notepad in which to jot down your powers. Unless you're starting at a high level, chances are you'll only have a few powers to note down before the first session, and you won't be adding anything new for a while. After using a power from level 1, you start...

Magic Missile's unerring strike is part of the spell. In fact, a level 1 wizard could hit a god with it. The problem is that it doesn't do much damage. A 3rd level magic missile hits for an average of, lets say 6 damage (I don't know the actual specs), but for a 12th level fighter, thats the...

I actually agree with Strength after thinking about it. A human-intelligent cat would be able to make a better sword then the normal man. Though if the DMG says something like Dexterity, I'm making special Cat-forged weapons.

Chapters Indigo, because I get a discount. If I had more money, I'd be going to my FLGS, but I'm trying to save for school. If I could, I'd get a second PH. But at the moment, my group is going to have to buy their own or huddle. I wonder if WotC is anticipating most of their customers are...

We're just pulling your pigtails as you sit in front of us in class. It means we like you. At least WotC is good at making errata. They could just let us stew and wonder whats going on. At least, in my opinion.

I wonder... In 3.5e, couldn't you stand without provoking with a good tumble check? Perhaps 4e will allow an acrobatics check to stand and move with the same action, like a bounce/ukemi/tech. Or perhaps you could roll from prone, somersaulting around the field. "Look ma, I'm a boulder trap!"

Not really rolling per se, but during a really difficult battle that the DM shouldn't had thrown at us, only one PC was left alive. The entire game was going to be decided on the last PC's attack roll since the DM had revealed the BBEG was on his last 2 hit points. He rolled a 1. But at the same...

I'm ashamed for this to be following silver moon's example, but my groups favorite moment was after a long session where the PCs were locked in tiny rooms and had to do gruesome things to get out. One of the players hadn't slept the night before, but because he had no life he came anyway. After...

Cleric(+Warlord). I want to be support and healing, have been ever since my first days. Heal plz. kthx. Though a Paladin might be cool as well. Or Warlord on its own. Really, I don't seem interested in Fighters or Rangers, but I think that's because I need new people to play with. My current...

Aaaaand the polymorph effects just ended on the male orcs you just force moved into the mud pool. If only you left on the bikinis. I'm sure there are going to be a bunch of rules with forced movement making it less useful/risky/fun in the PH.
