    Rant After Play-Test

    Wizards are able to cast 3 1st level spells a day, and then can cast as many minor spells as they want. And how do we know the math behind the characters is wrong when we don't know the character creation rules? Maybe the wizard is best at magic like the fighter is supposed to be best at...

    Blog: Sneak Attack Vs. Backstab 3/28/12

    The idea in giving everyone extra damage when they have advantage is interesting. The accuracy boost is actually a damage boost over the long term, because you are hitting more often, so I saw the bonus as a damage boost as well as an attack boost. However, if accuracy is as flat as they say...

    D&D 4E Running player commentary on PCat's 4E Campaign - Heroic tier (finished)

    I'd just like to thank Sagiro and Piratecat for this thread. It has been great source of information and experience in running 4th edition. I'd especially like to thank Piratecat for his skill challenge sequence which I blatantly stole and changed to my needs. It went off pretty much as...

    Divine Challenge at the end of your turn

    Isn't Divine Challenge an attack itself? Divine Challenge is not marking, it's an ability that puts the marked condition on another creature, and also has the secondary effect of doing damage in certain circumstances. It's a magical compulsion that puts a condition on a target creature. And as...

    Marketing criticisms miss the point

    I don't think the people who frequent the ENWorld forums are necessarily the demographic 4e is going after. A 50/50 spread on those staying and those converting might actually be a good split for our particular demographic. Daag

    JollyDoc's Age of Worms (Updated 11/30, Epilogue!)

    Great update as usual. Just another note, Ray of Enfeeblement is a penalty that can't bring your Strength below 1. Daag

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    As someone who doesn't often post, all I can say is...UPDATE??! That said, I hope to see one soon. Daag

    BoED -- Vow of Non-Violence

    I would say the DC of the calming aura would go up, but not the weapon breaking of manufactured weapon DC. The reason for this is that the calming aura would affect the creature, while the weapon breaking ability explicitly states that the weapon makes the save, not the creature. I personally...

    Vow of Poverty and Spellbooks

    Personally, I think Vow of Poverty works best for a druid. All that AC bonus while you're wildshapped? All those stat boosts? All those Ex abilities you gain could be debatable on whether you keep them while wildshaped, but since they're level based gains, they should be fine. So if you put the...

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    A little more happened than I thought. It looks like the Bright Axes are going to be getting a little more than just a new arcane caster, if the Bright Axes are still around. Daag

    JollyDoc's Shackled City

    Well, I think I know what's going on because of what someone posted on another board. But I'll keep my mouth shut to let the suspense build. In any case, looks like the party finally has an arcane caster. Can't wait how to see someone with the Vow of Poverty, Vow of Non-violence, and Vow of...

    Dragon Disciple - a viable option?

    The Dragon Disciple as it is now is perfectly viable. It is a fighter class, and any other combination, though fun and interesting to roleplay, is not optimized. D12 hd, good fort and will saves, boost to Str, Con, and Cha are all good things. They have really good skill list, for a fighter...

    Help me price a Circlet of Enlargement

    Well, according to the DMG, the pricing should go something like this: 2,000 (continuous) * 1 (caster level) * 1 (spell level) * 2 (1 min/level duration) * 1.5 (body slot affinity) = 6,000 Now this seems low, and it probably is. However, this thing has a low caster level, so it's guaranteed to...

    Please rate Zen Archery

    I personally think it works best if you want to play a armored Cleric archer. You can use dexterity as 'dump' stat. Nothing like a cleric with Mithril Full Plate and an Animated Shield. Not to mention pumping everything in wisdom helps your spellcasting. Daag

    Wizards for the Picky... namely me

    Just so you know, the earliest a wizard can become an archmage is 13th level. The prerequisites are ability to cast 7th level arcane spells, knowledge of 5th-level or higher spells from at least five schools. A wizard can easily do this at 13th level, to take 1st level of archmage at 14th...

    Shifter PRC and Extraordinary abilities

    Templates are something you have to talk to your DM about it. Nowhere in the description of Greater Wildshape or anywhere else in the book that I can see says anything about templates. My dm and I came to the agreement, that'd if I'd met it, or encountered it that I could shift into it...

    A few questions about Chain Spell

    Chain spell is a good feat. I've taken it with both a Wizard and a Cleric I've played. The one thing that makes it incredibly useful is the fact you can apply it to Greater Magic Weapon, Haste and Greater Magic Fang. I don't know where people got the idea just because a spell is beneficial, you...

    Questions, Druid Goodness. PHB, DotF, MotW

    I'm making a character, a Druid specifically, just got MotW, liked it, but that's besides the point. Anyways my question regards the Wild armor and shield special property. If you have both a shield, say a +1 wild large wooden shield, and +1 wild leather armor, when you wild shape, do you...

    Shifter PrC house rules

    I personally don't think it needs it. The fastest you can get this PrC is as a druid, and a Drd 5/Shifter 2, can turn into a Dekanter goblin, from the Magic of Faerun. It has decent stats, and has Fast Healing 3, which in my opinion makes up for any of the spells he may be giving up. Also...
