    evasion and being grappled

    Even a pinned character is not helpless, and a helpless character has a Dex of 0, but can still make Reflex saves. The Rogue entry says that a helpless rogue can't use Evasion, and the pinned entry says that a pinned character is not helpless.

    Chess and diagonals

    And pawns were removed so that all the races..errr, I mean pieces... were balanced across the board.

    Need quick Book of Nine Swords multi-classes help

    They don't reset, they recover. Reset implies you can re-choose your readied maneuvers. You can only recover your expended maneuvers. It takes 5 minutes to swap out maneuvers. (or one fullround action with the Adaptive Style feat)

    PsyWar Polearm Build

    I had a character with Hold the Line and a longspear. Oddly enough, no one ever charged anywhere near me. :uhoh:

    PsyWar Polearm Build

    Actually, you only get the AoO from Hold the Line when someone charges into a threatened square, not just anytime they enter one. If they didn't charge, then there's no AoO, and you have to wait for them to exit a square to get an AoO.

    What do they do with the copper and silver?

    Even in my Iron Heroes game, where gold doesn't really mean much, the players try to take everything they can get their sticky fingers on.

    How many AoO for a ranged attack spell/power?

    Under Ray spells, it says 'can crit like a weapon', that doesn't mean you can cast Keen Weapon on the Ray to double its threat range, so 'aimed like a ranged weapon' doesn't mean 'provokes like a ranged weapon'.

    D&D 4E Death and Dying in 4E: Propose Your Own Homebrewed Rule!

    We use this for my Iron Heroes game: At 0 or fewer hit points, you are Disabled. If you are at 0 or fewer hit points and not Stable, you are Dying. Every round, you lose 1d4 hit points and then must make a Fort save DC is equal to 10 + your negative hit points. If the Fortitude save succeeds...

    Do the PCs ever die in these playtest reports?

    My submarine was in a set of games like that, on the 'bad guys' side, and we kept winning over and over, so they kept giving away our position to the other side. So we started giving away false positions, then they started making up stuff, like we got a firing solution on the carrier of the...

    Cops looting bodies?

    Make their gear scale with level and tell them "every body searched has 1d4cp on it, unless there is supposed to be something to help the plot, in which case I'll tell you when you find it" My players (though it's Iron Heroes) are finally getting used to not rifling everyone's pockets.

    Nonhuman noncombatants?

    In my Iron Heroes game, which is set in somewhere close to Eberron, and doesn't use alignments, my players just mow down everything. I had an adventure where a sorceress had charmed a whole town, and they just ran through and slaughtered peasants until they could reach the sorceress and her...

    Death & Dying - a better (and simple!) system.

    Here's what I use in my Iron Heroes game, it's based on something I found on this board, I think: At 0 or fewer hit points, you are Disabled. If you are at 0 or fewer hit points and not Stable, you are Dying. Every round, you lose 1d4 hit points and then must make a Fort save DC is equal to 10...

    Halflings: An Identity Crisis

    Kender minus klepto equals halfling to me. The whisper gnome picture looks like what a halfling should be. In my Iron Heroes game, set in a sort of Eberron-ish place with guns, the halflings are pretty close to a more savage kender (close to the Eberron halfling), and my Valenar Elves are like...

    Brainstorming: Fantasy: Changing Magic

    well, I tried to post my Arcanist that I use for Iron Heroes, but the formatting is terrible and I don't have an hour to redo it in this post. :\ this is from the file I posted for my players. It has plenty to do every round, whether it's a spell or not. I had to leave out the progression, it...
