    What are all the sources containing options for making Sneak Attack affect Undead?

    I'm getting ready to run Expedition to Castle Ravenloft, which is Undead-heavy, and one of my players is pretty set on playing a Rogue. Can anyone give me any sources they know of that make Rogues a little better in an Undead-themed campaign? Or, alternatively, just tell me what the...

    What is the best material to use for creating DM Screens?

    There are a few decent DM screens available for use out there on the internet, but I"m curious... If I get one, download it, and print it out, its just 4 pieces of paper. I want to glue it to something connected! What is a good material to use for creating that harder-backed, connected...

    What is your definition of Railroading?

    It seems that the general consensus is that railroading is restricting player options, but only overtly so, enough to be noticeable by the players. What type of options are most commonly restricted during "railroading"? Actions? Location?

    What is your definition of Railroading?

    So, is all that stuff the definition of a sandbox? If not, what is the definition of a sandbox? And, with that, is there even a way to create a sandbox in D&D?

    What is your definition of Railroading?

    Inspired by the poll about railroading... I read it and voted, but then remembered a discussion I was having with my players about what railroading is, and wanted to ask you all about it. So, what do you consider railroading? As an example question, do you consider World of Warcraft, or more...

    Can you "Take 20" to Hide?

    I would agree with Shilsen on his "rule of thumb", but in this case, I would say yes, under certain circumstances. Taking 20 has two main "requirements" - enough time and consequences for failure. While there are consequences for failure in almost every opposed skill check, I would say that if...

    What are the Differences between High-Fantasy and Futuristic/Cyberpunk Games?

    So, does every item have a PL attached to it, or do the PLs only really apply to the setting?

    My good friend needs HELP in Phoenix, AZ!

    So, a good friend of mine is getting out of the military and is probably moving down to Phoenix, AZ and the surrounding area. He's spent the past few years working computer tech support, and is looking to continue his career in that field in Phoenix. He's got a sweet clearance! Any ideas?

    What are the Differences between High-Fantasy and Futuristic/Cyberpunk Games?

    So, I don't have the futuristic or cyber-whatever books yet. How does hacking work (not looking for lots of detailed rules, just a general idea)?

    What are the Differences between High-Fantasy and Futuristic/Cyberpunk Games?

    Do they go over PLs in the source books?

    What are the Differences between High-Fantasy and Futuristic/Cyberpunk Games?

    Man, I'm starting to think that this is going to be really hard for me to run! I can imagine a million environments and whatever that would fit into D&D, but half the time it sounds like you guys are talking gibberish! Not from a "I don't know what that mean/is" standpoint - more from a "Wow...

    What are the Differences between High-Fantasy and Futuristic/Cyberpunk Games?

    I'm just referring to things in traditional D&D that are "game breakers" or that are game altering - a game including scrying is way different than a game without, but by the core rules its still a perfectly viable option for players to use. I didn't mean to infer that a cyberpunk game would...

    Does damage from a touch attack ignore Damage Reduction

    I see what you mean, but its as if you're saying its LESS true or NOT true simply because it doesn't say "melee attack" elsewhere. That doesn't really make sense... yes, its a little odd that they would point out touch attacks and not melee attacks for the purposes of this argument, but I don't...
