    Game Day mini = Spined Devil

    I'm curious as to what the "nethersight" that's listed under its Senses is.... Veeeeery eenterestingk....

    Does The New Edition Raise Your Houserulling Interest?

    That's just the stirring of Great Cthulhu as he senses another presidential election season coming around. One of these aeons.... yessss, one of these aeons.... :eek:

    Why Not a 4th Book?

    Methinks it's time for the triumphal Return of Grimtooth! (hmmm, does that date me a bit too much?)

    D&D 4E Is liking 4E biased by how many books you own?

    I have, ummm, one 4' wide shelf, a backpack, a plastic carrying box and a tote-bag full of books, all WoTC 3.5. Then there's the scattered dozen or so FR books stacked on a shelf in my room, and my 3.0 books shoved in a filing cabinet somewhere. The backpack, box and tote-bag all travel with...

    Even More Squares?

    *Beats Jerome with a square, stone monkey whilst in a silo.* What? WHAT???

    D&D 4E 4E: More "Wing it" Friendly, perhaps?

    Ahh, and now, having read the Podcast thread about Monsters, Monsters, Monsters -- I'm REALLY stoked. That has "wing it" written all over it, and as a bonus, my players' characters won't have to suffer.... as much. (they'll still suffer, oh yes, they'll still suffer....) No more having to go...

    D&D 4E 4E: More "Wing it" Friendly, perhaps?

    I like to wing it. There, I said it. It's rare that I show up to DM with much more than a general idea of what options to present the party, and what overall plotlines I have in mind. From there, I dangle bait in front of the players and hope they bite. Still, in 3.5, it can get really...

    Martial equivalent of Wish..

    Hmmm, the irrevocable death thing is probably a game-breaker. What probably would work better would be something like: Blaze of Glory For the next 10 rounds, the fighter cannot die. She gets a +20 bonus to her attacks, base weapon damage is doubled and she threatens the space around her as if...

    Monsters of the feywild.

    Hmm, now this all gives me an idea for a nice way to get a party into the Feywild without them even realizing it. Imagine, if you will, a wild, almost primeval area of forest with an anomalous clearing deep within. In the clearing stands an ancient set of menhirs in the form of a great gate...

    Why are monkeys being given treasure?

    Them thar Orientally Adventurin' monkeys would be the Vanara.

    So, about those halflings...

    Ayup -- that's why they're normally sidekickish gofers/packmules who rarely (if ever) do anything useful in combat. If they do happen to be useful in combat, then they're the sort who --for whatever reason-- need some sort of orders from a PC as to what they should be doing. Gashripper, for...

    So, about those halflings...

    This is why I usually end up providing such a character myself when I DM (usually happens before I realize I'm doing it, too). Lets me keep the character on the sidelines, but available for when the party needs a dose of lightness or ego-boosting. A recent example is Gubchuk the Goblin -- a...

    Hope?

    That and because hope floats -- no matter how many weights you tie around its ankles. Believe me, I've TRIED. :uhoh:

    Design and Development: Cosmology

    Ooooh, enchanted ships pushing thru the planar barriers to get to the Astral Sea -- and being the only safe way there! Hmmm, this gives ideas, yesssss.

    Hobgoblin Fluff

    Somehow, my imagination brought up this conversation between some hobgoblins when the first of those nasty, uncontrollable beasties he mentioned was full-grown: "High Chieftan, the results of the latest breeding are ready for your approval." "*grunt* Fine, show me. If I like it, I might not...

    Unarmed combat: you can junk the monk

    Huh, and here I was under the impression that you simply couldn't utilize ANY of the Two-weapon fighting feats when using natural weapons -- Improved Unarmed Strike being included in that list. At least, that's the way I've always played when both as a monk, a fighter and a DM. So, TWF works...

    No Macs? Holy crap did WotC do the math wrong!

    The assumption may very well be -- but there's honestly no real way to tell. However, in at least my own case, I'm the primary DM of a group where I have to drive 80 miles on the weekend just to get down to them, and DDI would significanly simplify things (and save gas, heh). Still, bein' a...

    No Macs? Holy crap did WotC do the math wrong!

    Howabout because we'd like to be able to subscribe to the Digital Initiative and get all of the functionality out of it, not just a subset? That's the big kicker, really. Dragon & Dungeon are great, yes -- and probably worth the price, but still there's a large chunk of it that we'd be...

    D&D 4E 4E Devils vs. Demons article

    I'm not seeing that, honestly. It just means that whatever plans a demon makes, whatever convoluted, twisted ideas they might come up with, they're all geared towards a singular focus -- that being destruction simply for the sake of destruction. It doesn't mean that they can't be clever...

    Critical Hit with Fireball!

    The critical hit would come into play on either of the per-encounter or at will uses, as those are single-target attacks under this theory. And in the case of having multiple per-day uses of a spell at higher levels (as I'd hazard will be the case), the per-encounter/at will uses should still...
