    Power Cards, Cheat Sheets, and the Wii: Why I want legal PDFs

    The service will, someday, be discontinued. How many years we have is anyone's guess, but since the 3.5 debacle I don't trust WotC on the longevity front, particularly given the ongoing expertise and masterwork armor issues. Not as severe as 3.0, but still the sort of thing where the best...

    Power Cards, Cheat Sheets, and the Wii: Why I want legal PDFs

    Power Cards: I make power cards for all my PCs using Magic Set Editor. With legal PDFs, I can copy and paste the text from the PDF to MSE, saving me a lot of prepwork. I could also do this with Insider, but that's a monthly fee rather than a one-time payment. With a book, I have to have it on my...

    Should the DM accommodate characters, or characters accommodate DMs?

    Because the DM is doing more work than the player, and it's his game too. If one of my players said 'I don't like the way you're running the game, and I'd like to run it instead', my response would be 'SOLD!'

    iPad

    This, absolutely. We could fix many of the world's problems without much difficulty, but we'd have to give up our laptops, steaks, and waste of electricity. Someone should make us.

    Artificers: Sucky?

    The advantage of the Healing Infusion powers is that they let the target heal as if they had spent a healing surge, rather than actually making them spend one. So: 1) You wake up in the morning. Your two Healing Infusion 'bottles' are full. 2) During a fight, you use HI twice, emptying both...

    PEACH my 1st-level Druid build

    Since two of my players will be absent next week, one of my players is running a 1st-level one-shot where I get to play. The expected party is Swordmage, Druid, Bard, though it may still change a bit. The character: Heritage of Dodec | Dangrim Thorik | Obsidian Portal

    Dungeon Tiles - Volcanic/Lava Tiles

    Natural-looking shapes, spaces that most characters can jump, with the possibility of longer jumps for characters with Athletics. Haven't printed them out to see how well they interlock, but they look good. Thanks for sharing!

    Strategy Game System for RPGs

    I've considered something like this too. My main ideas being: -Set the large-scale (strategic) map to a scale where the PCs move a number of squares per day (or other movement phase) equal to the lowest speed in the group. 5 squares in a move action in battle means 5 squares in a day on the...

    Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes on Death Saving Throws?

    1) IIRC, it can be used on saving throws. Death Saving Throws are saving throws. So you can use MoTL on them, right? 2) If you boost your result to or above 20, do you get to trigger your second wind?

    Easy to create Standies (paper miniatures)

    Free Standees from Gnome Stew to You! - Gnome Stew, the Game Mastering Blog It's a PDF. Load the image of your choice for each side of the standy, and print the document. It has some saving issues (which is to say, you can't save) because it's an editable PDF and most of us are using the free...

    Battlemind

    Druid, Invoker, Shaman. All Wisdom primary. All have Constitution as a possible secondary (I might be wrong on the Shaman). Wis/Con race? Corrolary: Battlemind is a Wis/Con class?

    Enhanced Resistive Formula: Absurdly OP?

    Is it just me, or is this...utterly ridiculous? It grants 2 party members more than HS Value in temporary hit points. You can do this twice per encounter. What were they thinking?

    4e Warlocks - How Would You Fix Them?

    I would do something along the lines of what someone around here did for the Paladin. All powers which used to use Constitution for their attacks now use Charisma. All secondary effects of powers used to be based on Intelligence. Now, for powers which used to attack with Constitution, it will...

    Creating/adjusting Figurines of Wondrous Power?

    Does anyone have any guidelines for creating new figurines of wondrous power, or adjusting existing ones? I'm looking at the Ironwood Hound (Level 10) from Dungeon #160, Page 54. I'd like to make it a Level 13 item, but I'm unsure what adjustments I should give it. Better attacks, defenses, and...

    Campaigns where most of the original characters are gone.

    This is a good idea, if your PCs are the type to do their homework. If they are, count yourself blessed.

    Problems with Dungeon Tiles

    I just got a set of [DU3] Dungeon Tiles: Caves of Carnage from my local bookstore. New copy, still shrinkwrapped, none of the pieces punched out - until I came home and started punching them out, that is. Sheet 2, which is underground rivers on one side and cave floors with rubble on the other...
