Being creative with your encounter area is an easy fix you can do on the fly. I use the DMG2 whenever I can but if I don't have time to study what to use, I just make stuff up. "There's a spike trap hidden here! 1d6 damage" "This square immobilizes you till you save!" "This square adds a +2 to...

If you're really on a budget, there are ways around spending. I would know, I live in an economically depressed Third World country! Since I commute a lot, I always have enough spare coins to represent monsters and I have about 20 minis that may not accurately represent a hero, but suffices for...

That is an excellent yardstick by which to measure future classes for ease of play.

Don't look at me, I meant the question in all seriousness.

We're currently using the 100 cp to the gp rule in my off the cuff ruled Dark Sun campaign, so it shouldn't be a problem that they're using 'gp.' In Bloodsand Arena's Kaldras' Betrayal you get '200 gold pieces worth of ceramic' which is a to of money, but it doesn't render ceramic obsolete as...

Question: While an enemy is grabbed, can you attack other enemies? That's actually a very neat character. I'd love to play it, but I'm not sure if I'll be using it. Still, perhaps I need a new campaign for it.... ;D As if I don't play in enough campaigns already.

I think you should be more concerned about your second base detector.

So THAT's why there were no shardboobs or wildenboobs.

I'd seen the exact crunch for defiling in scattered previews all over teh webz, and I assume it's unchanged? Basically increase damage but deal damage to yr allies? While it is sick, mechanically, in terms of how that compares to its actual fluff ("And plant life DIE while small animals cry...

A controllers usually says things like, "Okay, you can game but only after you wash the dishes, but make sure you're home by 11pm and don't leave your mobile on silent, always check yr mobile in case you miss my calls and remember that you have to empty the litter box tonight and..." Wait, what?

Thri-Kreen. I must know more. What are female Thri-Kreen like? And more importantly, are they hot?

Because I can.

I agree. I actually dislike 80% of Mazzanoble's columns thus far, but degustibus non disputandem. One thing I appreciate about her is that she doesn't take D&D too seriously. Sure, "Kevin the Minotaur" and all her other wacky 'disbelief-breaking' nonsense turns certain kinds of gamers off...

Do you guys have any immediate/concrete plans for your gaming group and Essentials? I run games for newbies on a fairly regular basis. Our reputation at My Girlfriend Is A DM is that of 'those ppl who make everybody play' so I'm actually thinking I like the Essentials. I think they'll make...

Do You Plan To Use Essentials In Your Game (No '4.5 Edition Sucks' Plz, Kthx) Oops

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm unsure of whether a 'low attack bonus' a function of the archetype itself (gauntlets/unarmed possessing low proficiency bonuses, etc.) or just something that's really customization-specific? I imagine the only thing holding the brawler back compared to other...

Danget. I was kind of excited about the potential to be had in a sidebar titled, "How to Speak Like a Human." Some players could use such advice at the table. And away from it. Sadly.

I gotcha. But I'm sure WotC is thinking, "What we need is DRM!"

I don't only care about DPR, but it is one of my higher considerations. My intent is not to aim for striker level damage with piles of bonuses -- defenders don't do that as well as other roles/classes -- but at least have a respectable base damage score. I had a Warforged Warden that dealt...

I suggest a digital delivery stream that will converge all of the ENWorld threads on D&D Essentials (and any other RPG products that have not yet been released) into one Internet access dependent online tool.
