Rel, I am not so sure this works for all challenges. In your example, and story hour, I think this works well as an abstract way to get through an 'unstructured' challenge. The players are scrambling to get through a maze of tunnels that you do not need to map out. However, for other more...

Extremely Satisfied. Dungeon, Dragon and Char Builder more then pay for the investment. I have been recently using the Compendium and Encounter builder much more and these are hidden gems. It made pulling together encounters a breeze because they draw from all the sources without having to...

Good stuff Rel, I have enjoyed what I have read so far. With yours, and PirateCat's, running commentary I am inspired to improve my DMing a bit. What I enjoy about 4e that I did not get in <=3.5e is the time it takes to prepare a session. With 4e, most of the work is done and I can spend...

Not to add fuel to the fire, but... I placed my amazon order for the gift set maybe a few weeks ago. I initially got the delay email saying shipping for mid/end-June. The books arrived today. I don't know anyone else's situation, but for me, I have been buying all of Christmas gifts...

I do not post much...obviously...but this conversation, and many others like it, reminds me of a religious discussion I had recently. My point in that conversation, is the same as the one I want to make now; and that is, why can't you be happy with your choice without having to put down...

Concentration In the SRD under Concentration you have the following in the table for casting spells, which seems to indicate casting a spell is possible while grapple or pinned: 20 Grappling or pinned. (You can cast only spells without somatic components for which you have any required...

The curse of 13... Twice I have played a character up to 13th level only to meet my un-timely end. The other characters in that game are just reaching 15th and that is the highest I have ever seen. My longest running character is a 1st Ed. converted to 3.5 over time Monk who has reached the...

I buy a new set everytime I start a new character...call it superstition. For me it is more like starting fresh.

What about this... I am currently playing a 3rd level Psion (Shaper). I just leveled to 4th and switched to Wizard(Conjurer) Once I get through 3 levels of Wizard I am going to switch to Cerebremancer. Now, at 6th level I am considering taking the Practiced Spellcaster. This will allo me to...

I just sent you over an email. I was going to start looking for regular game and oddly enough, I am over on the border of Sussex/Morris myself. We should try to get everyone together. If games are full, I could start a new group. Breezly

Wow, I never thought I would have to do this, nor did I expect that I would have to do this. Never did I want this to be another failed online game, yet alas, here I am. Things have conspired against me recently and, the short story is, that I have been given an ultimatum of sorts about time I...

OOC: Great link to the spell, thanx! Do you want to try and Bluff in order to try and appear as if you are not casting a spell? I am going to up your spell failure if you decide to try and bluff. Breezly

Post 020904 - A rough knight, Alturiak 6, Evening Anger consumes the Knights in Silver leader's face. His hand moves down to his sword, but he does not draw. "Are you daft dwarf? You dare threaten the Knights in Silver? You will not lead this caravan anywhere. You are part of an...

The guard looks at you strangely, as if he did not catch the meaning of your gesture.

The only way you could accomplish that with war horses, is to be able to be very near to them, even touching them. Otherwise, you will not be able to shake them from a distance. Breezly

Post 020804 - A Call to...Halt, Alturiak 6, Evening You move your pony forward up close the wagon that Athil is leading. The Knights in Silver are starting to eye you with some suspicion. You speak to Athil about your suspicions, and his face seems grave, though he nods a bit, acknowledging...

Aram and Silestrea think back on any of their travels or converations that may have been about traveling on the road to Sundabar (Knowledge Local (21), Knowledge Geography (15)). The first place you stopped on this trip had an inn and it also had a barracks for Knights that patrol the road...

Post 020604 – On the path to…?, Alturiak 6, Late Evening Post 020604 – On the path to…, Alturiak 6, Late Evening The Knights in Silver leader looks over the group as you give your ascent to traveling with them to the Knights check point. Athil also nods his agreement and he motions to the...

Tsoren, as you watch the wagon, you find that a few of the other Knights take a particular interest in the wagon, stopping and looking at the driver and the wagon itself. The Knights then move off towards the other caravans. As you were looking at them, you do notice that the armored man...

The Knight leader addresses Aram, 'Very well then, follow us.' As with Silestrea, you do not detect any grief in the Knight. He seems almost cold, focusing more on those in the caravan than on the fallen at this point. Breezly
