    Monster Update: Wights and Ghosts

    I've been hoping for this for a while, and am surprised they didn't trumpet it more loudly. One of the two entries they started with was exactly the one I most wanted to see an updated version of, too (Wight).

    Assassin Executioner Question

    Only ones they create. Heroes of Shadow, page 22, specifies this, but I don't find any mention of any resistance or immunity to other poisons anywhere. Characters have only the abilities it says they have.

    Does a Setting need gods?

    Dark Sun gets along fine without gods. (As a game setting, I mean - from the point of view of the people who live there, it's kind of a crapsack setting). If you don't want to ditch divine classes entirely, as DS does by default, both 2E and 3E made various rip-off-able allowances for clerics of...

    Final Monster Vault Preview: Penanggalan

    That swarm is just odd in both narrative and mechanical ("fluff" and "crunch" if you like) terms. I, too, would have appreciated some explanation. Perhaps it's a bunch of really old Penanggalans, their bodies long since rotted away, their heads starting to do the same, minds long since lost to...

    Why did you stop subscribing to DDI?

    There were a number of factors making me consider not renewing - perceived dishonesty about what was going on with DDI, disappointment with the online character builder, failure to address some serious bugs in the offline monster builder - but in the end I decided my decision would hinge on...

    D&D 4E D&D 4E: Who can use poisons and how often?

    The other characters don't get the Executioner's poisons for the same reason the Executioner doesn't get, for example, the mage's Sleep spell. The Poisons are basically the Executioner's daily powers (they even work a little like the Mage's spellbook does).

    Another MV preview: Hurly Burly brothers

    I'm just reading these previews now - they're not linked from anywhere that I can tell except the main D&D front page, so I was unaware of their existence until now despite actively looking for such things! - and the Vestapalk one seems poorly edited as well ("Birth" when "Breath" is obviously...

    Essentials Bard: the Balladeer

    That link doesn't seem to work. However, clicking "Blog" on the left-hand side will take you right to the relevant entry.

    Essentials Bard: the Balladeer

    I assume you get Majestic Word as well? This looks like it could be fun to play. Are the crescendos you choose at first level in addition to, or alternatives to, the ones specific to each at-will power? I assume in addition.

    Marking

    The bear should probably get the hell out and seek easier prey. But if that isn't an option for whatever reason, yes, I would generally have it go after the striker. Either way, it isn't just going to blindly obey the mark.

    Critique my D&D tool

    Seems to have taken a full restart in my case... but no matter, it's working now! Looking forward to playing around with it.

    Critique my D&D tool

    From the videos, it looks like it could be very useful. However, it doesn't seem to work on my system; it just gets stuck forever on a page that says "Connecting socket" and never finishes loading.

    You Wanted Character Themes, You Got 'Em - Dragon 399 ToC

    Yes, but how many of them have new content for the game (as opposed to advice, anecdotes, history etc) that was created specifically for this issue (as opposed to a book that was later canceled)? Either zero or one, depending how the Unearthed Arcana looks.

    Accessory: Random Treasure Generator Version 3

    Is this still available in any form? The links on your site just take me back to the top of the page, they don't download anything.

    Mearls' Legends and Lore - poll on delve format for adventures

    This, this, a thousand times this. The delve format is fantastic for boxed sets, but becomes cumbersome if you insist on presenting an adventure as a single book. I was going to skim the thread and make that suggestion if someone else didn't, it's nice to see that someone did within the first...

    Oots 0783

    That was... kind of depressing, actually. Didn't think I'd ever sympathize with those two d-bags, but I'm with Roy; they were nowhere near bad enough to deserve this.

    IMPORTANT! Should EN World continue reporting RPG news?

    I'd be very sad to see the news page go. I don't post that often but I've been a reader of this site in its various forms since 1999 and it was the 3E news of that early era that first brought me here. But, if I'm honest with myself, I'd be sad about this for reasons of nostalgia, not because I...

    Where can I download "War of the Burning Sky"?

    Morrus, of course, means the 4E versions (which, given your reference to DDI, is probably what you're interested in). The 3.5 versions of the entire saga have long since been written and are available in places like rpg.net. They're only being released to ENWorld subscribers as the 4E ones...

    Where can I download "War of the Burning Sky"?

    Well, parts 1 through 9 at the moment (both the 3.5 and 4E versions), and eventually the whole thing.

    Oots 0772

    I think that was right as of the 1E PH. I mostly remember playing that they could be any alignment except LG, but I don't know when or even if that became the official rule.
