    Raise Dead: A nice big bone to the simulationists

    As a branded "Hater" I would just like to point out that I too LOVE this approach to raise dead. Baker's point about why kings can't just have their wills stipulate that they be raised has always bugged me. I have had to bend over backward in campaigns to deal with this before, claiming that...

    D&D 4E Anyone know a Pro-4e site?

    Would this mean then that "haters" could start their own explicitly anti-4e threads, where any positive posts regarding 4e are not allowed? Just wonderin'... PS-- I'm pretty sure you won't find anything negative written about 4e here.

    Anyone else notice the weirdness about Defenses?

    The monsters don't follow the same rules. There are "patterns" but no hard & fast rules for what a monster's defenses will be. I have seen level 3 Solo Brute with base of 17 on all defenses before stat & half level were added, and I've seen level 11 Solo Brutes with defenses of 11 before...

    D&D 4E Using 4E style /encounter & /will abilities with 3.X

    Note-- this will only work with spellcasters (Later I may try to come up w/ such abilities for other classes, but not today). This was written with Castles & Crusades in mind, but will work with any 3.x OGL system, including D&D: Normal Casting in C&C is Spells / Day with a number of slots...

    D&D 4E What can change your opinion about 4E?

    1. Lower the OFFICIAL price of the books to $30. I don't care if you can get it for that much on discount.com-- the OFFICIAL price of $40 each is ridiculous. Haven't these people heard of soft-covers before? Please make soft cover w/ B&W interior art versions and call them "economy editions"...

    Advancement of Pregens to Second Level

    Here is an idea for a couple level 2 Fighter Maneuvers: Shield Block (Encounter) Immediate Reaction When an enemy makes an attack against your AC or Reflex, you may make a shield attack against their Reflex (even if the opponent is not adjacent, using a ranged weapon). If you succeed, the...

    4e rules will make some games much harder to run

    Welcome to the Crusade!

    Speculating about traps

    The Ballista should not attack AC-- it should be reflex. A suit of armor won't make much difference to a ballista shot. Your goal is not to be hit by it at all, not that your armor will save you! Ballista Takes 3 standard actions to load (a crew of 3 could fire it once per round). Shoots...

    D&D 4E ConQuest Sac- 4e Demo!!!

    They meet in Wellman Hall on campus Friday Nights, starting around 6pm, and most games get rolling by 7pm. I think that I am going tomorrow, but will be running a DC Heroes Justice League game I think instead of 4e again (since it will be mostly same players, and there is no hope of leveling up...

    Minion fun! What do you plan to do with them?

    do d20 7th sea the right way. Not that drech called "Swashbuckling adventures". For the PCs, all the sword schools & sorcery would be done as feats.

    D&D 4E ConQuest Sac- 4e Demo!!!

    Dude, I ran a 4e demo at DRAGON last week! Shoulda been there. I think this week I may be running a supers game, if I decide to come (b/c of finals I think attendence may be low, so I may not come this week).

    D&D 4E 4e Competition/Alternatives?

    I LOVE ASOI&F, and ran one of my best BASH! Fantasy Edition campaigns set in Westeros (using the low magic rules). However, the claim that rape appears in the book is a little true. There is a scene in which the Mountain that Rides & his men are at an inn, and and they rape the innkeepers...

    DDXP characters - unexpected tactics?

    Pretty sure that ability ends as soon as the paladin moves in the opposite direction of the marked creature. You can move closer to it, but cannot move away from it. That's how I've run it.

    Should the DMG be the cheapest core book?

    LOL! Seriously, I think that the books are $34.95 b/c of some discount by buying it online. I think the sicker price will be like $39.95... which I just shortcut to $40.

    Should the DMG be the cheapest core book?

    But on the bright side, your nit-picking ability is batting 1000!

    Should the DMG be the cheapest core book?

    At $40 it already is the cheapest core book..... and also the most expensive as it seems ALL 4e books are $40.

    Post your Home-made Monsters

    Wow, this is a very cool idea. I could see doing the same for horse & rider, etc. You may want to note that the speed changes if it is just a goblin.

    D&D 4E 4E balance: Does it extend to PvP?

    Well in a 2 on 2 fight I ran, it was Fighter & Ranger vs. Paladin & Warlock. Fighter & Ranger won-- but I was using the "accurate strike" with +4 damage at the time. W/0 it, it may have gone the other way.
