    hi guys!, question about puzzle encounters

    What kinds of puzzles do you think they'll enjoy? I've have varied success with different kinds, but it depends on the group. Do they like riddles and the like? Or more of a trap/puzzle kind of thing? I love riddles, one group I played with went through a dungeon full of doors that needed...

    What's the best trap you've ever unleashed upon your players?

    I love traps and puzzles as a DM. I love throwing them at my players and watching them try to figure them out. Doesn't go over well with the hack and slashers, but I believe it makes for a better, richer, overall gaming experience. So I want to hear about your traps and puzzles! This thread...

    D&D 4E Tell us what you like and don't like about 4e

    I really like what they did with tactical movement in combat. In addition to the five foot step as a free action, you can now perform: 10 foot hop, 15 foot cartwheel, and the 20 foot triple lindy. It makes things so much clearer now. I can't wait to take the epic feat that allows you to do...

    D&D 4E Moratorium on 4e threads?

    But, but, what would I ever do with myself if I didn't have a new 4e post every week?!??!?!? Seriously, though, this may work for awhile, but (even as much as I loathe the 4e threads) eventually this thread will be off page 1, people will forget, and 4e threads will again flourish on a weekly...

    The Great Anti-Hero Showdown(Nominations Open)

    Odysseus is not an anti-hero, he is a through and through hero. Classical Epics are defined as being about a Hero, which is why they are often referred to as Heroic Epics, and they are written about the Heroic Era. In this case, The Odyssey.

    point blank shot on ranged spells

    Interesting. Well, while it appears possible, I don't think a non-metamagic feat should modify the damage of a spell. If this was debated into another thread I won't go into it more here.

    point blank shot on ranged spells

    You certainly could, if you had Complete Arcane ;) Do you know how that big long debate turned out?

    point blank shot on ranged spells

    It's open to interpretation then, I would say you would have to house rule it. Because weapon focus clearly states for purposes of this feat Point Blank Shot has no such statement, it only says weapon, not 'weapon (or ray, for purposes of this feat)' Im going to do some more reading and see if...

    Firefly

    If you want to see the movie, pay for your ticket! Don't download it or sneak in. The only way we are going to get any more of this wonderful show is if the movie does well at the box office, piracy will only hurt our Big Damn Heroes.

    point blank shot on ranged spells

    Per the RAW, Point Blank Shot will not affect ranged spells at all. From the SRD, empasis mine:

    Sneak Attack vs. Uncanny Dodge

    In the RAW you can not Sneak Attack someone who has Uncanny Dodge in this instance. From the SRD: The Barbarian is not denied his Dexterity, therefore no Sneak Attack. I can see where someone would aruge this by the use of the word 'would' in the above quote, but I still think the RAW is...

    Blatant abuse of the five foot step?

    To futher expand upon the Ogre example, please Consider the Following (TM, Bill Nye the Science Guy): A character is in melee combat with an ogre near a ledge. He makes a full attack and take a '5 Foot Step' off the ledge, and begins to fall downwards. Now, as he is moving well within the...

    BattleStar Galactica S2/E7 08.26.05

    Next week looks very interesting. Lucy Lawless's character looks coniving, manipulative and intent on sowing discord amongst the fleet. Sound like just the kind of thing a CYLON would do......... I hope she isn't, it would be neat to have her as a recurring character (not a regular, just an...

    Open feat slot?

    As a DM, at best, I would allow the character not to use the feat slot as long as he remained at that current level. If the feat was still not taken by the next level up, the feat is lost. By the RAW, you must use the feat when you recieve it, so when the level is first gained. That being...
