    Eladrins, Tieflings, Dragonborn Too Far Outside Standard Fantasy?

    I thought so too (and still do) so I asked Gary about that once. He said it was possible but so long ago that he couldn't recall with certainty.

    Faun (homebrew race)

    I like the idea of fauns/satyrs as a PC race and your version in particular. Nice job! The only things I'd change are size/weight and speed. I imagine fauns as M size but rather short, perhaps 4'10" - 5'4", 90 - 140 lbs. I also think of them as fast with their goat-like legs, speed 7.

    What are your house rules?

    Here are my house rules based on KotS and what I've read here at EN World about the core rules: 1. No dragonborns or tieflings as PC races, but may appear as monsters/NPCs 2. No warforged at all. 3. Halflings have same speed as dwarves, not humans 4. Gnomes and half-orcs OK as PC races from MM...

    Drinking a potion is a minor action?

    Is it a full round action? I'm not saying you're wrong but it looks from KotS as if charging is a standard action. So you can take a minor action (drawing a weapon) followed by a move (move action) followed by a charge (a standard action). No?

    Healing surges - more than one at a time? While unconscious?

    Thanks, Deus, Ginnel & Wormwood! ;) Note to self: Pay special attention to at will/per enconuter/per day abilities.

    Healing surges - more than one at a time? While unconscious?

    I was reading KotS last night and wondered if you could take more than one healing surge on your turn. There are at least two ways this might be possible as far as I can tell: 1. Use an action point. After surging as a regular standard action, expend an action point to get a second standard...

    Amazon Distribution "Issues" in the UK

    According to Esdevium, KotS ships today to offline retailers who should have it later this week. Leisure Games in north London have a reputation for offering a good mail order service. If I were seeking to order KotS or the core books by phone/post, I would try them. You'll need to pay full...

    D&D 4E KotS Street Date! Bring on the 4e lovin'!

    I'm picking it up this week, perhaps even tomorrow. I've got some gift vouchers that I received for my birthday that I've been saving for KotS. Although I intend to get it this week, I won't run it until 7 June, the day after the core books are released. As I'll only have 24 hours to digest the...

    Which race WILL you be playing?

    The first time I try 4E will be on the edition's release day at a WotC-organised event at The London Dungeon. I don't know if I'll get to pick a race or just handed a pre-gen. If I get to decide, I'll play a dwarf. I like dwarves. :) The following day, I'll be DMing a 4E campaign so I'll be...

    Character record sheets?

    Thanks, Nikosandros & Burr. I appreciate it! :) And thanks for creating them, neceros. You're a star! :cool: Burr, Don't feel badly. Everyone rolls low for initiative sometimes. ;)

    Character record sheets?

    Are there any blank 4E character record sheets online? If so, where? I don't mind whether they're official or not but I'm not interested in anything that breaches WotC's copyright - I don't touch pirated stuff. They do have to be free though. Apologies in advance if this question has been...

    D&D 4E UK 4E Launch Event at The London Dungeon

    Oooh! The witching hour. Cool. Thanks ;) I don't know what will be run at the event, but I'm running Keep on the Shadowfell that Saturday, 7 June at the London D&D Meetup. If you or anyone else would like to play in my game, please sign up to the Meetup group. Then, when I announce my 4E game...

    D&D 4E UK 4E Launch Event at The London Dungeon

    Thanks, Matt ;) Unfortunately, I didn't find out about last year's event until it was booked out. This year, thanks to EN World, I found out in time. I called Mike at Leisure Games and he e-mailed me saying I was in. :cool: :) :cool: What time will it end? Any idea?

    DMing 24 hours after release! Am I nuts?

    I've told my D&D club that I'll DM a 4E game on 7th June, the day after its release. Because I'll be busy during the day on 6th June, I'll have less than 24 hours to digest the new rules. Can it be done successfully? Any suggestions on how best to handle this? I wasn't a playtester so I don't...

    Things to do in NYC when you're a geek?

    Thanks for the suggestion ;) but if I wanted to take pictures of old buildings, I could do that from where I am now: I live in a city that's about 2000 years old! :D

    Things to do in NYC when you're a geek?

    Interesting! Is that the same as The Society of Illustrators and Museum? What gaming illustrations are there?

    Things to do in NYC when you're a geek?

    Hi, Mike ;) Thanks for the suggestion. I went to Neutral Ground once before many years ago. I don't know if it has changed but when I was there, it was more of an RPG club than a store. I didn't have the chance to play that time and won't have the opportunity this time either so I'll need to...

    Things to do in NYC when you're a geek?

    I'll be in midtown New York City later this week and early next. I was wondering what a geek like me would enjoy. I've already got a few places on my 'to visit' list including: - Compleat Strategist - Jim Hanley's Universe - Midtown Comics - Forbidden Planet - Toy Tokyo - Various...

    The Economist's obit on Gygax

    Thanks, haakon1. ;) I didn't know about the obit until I saw your post. I could have read it online but I bought a print copy for posterity.
