I'm working on a homebrewed conversion of Gamma World/4E to a new setting. It's based on an RPG video game, and in this video game, flat-out missing is a lot more rare than it is in D&D. What would happen if I just add, for example, +5 to everyone and everything's attacks, including Monsters...

Is that bad, though? That seems more interesting, to me at least, than rolling. And I think it's more specific to the people who have fun doing that. In other words, the people who do not enjoy the scenario you described will be less likely to want to go through with searching via words. But...

Face into a book Inside a key well hidden Winter never more

The Dryad needs more power to protect her tree and her forest. There's a threat to her tree/forest and needs to go out and kill it. The Dryad is tasked by druids to gather wealth for their grove. The Dryad decides she wants an adventurer's, non-cowards death, as opposed to sitting scared at home...

I don't think it matters so long as the players have a choice. They might decide the invading force is righteous and join them, or be spies. They might want to doe fighting the invading force. They might want to flee the city, or try to go assassinate the leader of the invaders. Or, just say the...

Oops, our group did that wrong then, as this exact situation came up in our game. Thanks. I guess the Wizard can force the enemy to attack an ally in some certain situations, like if the Knight has a power that lets him switcheroo with the ally, like the protector(?) theme. Actually, can you...

Plus, if the defender is a Knight, his mark punishment is an OA :D. Divine Sanction and I think the way Divine Challenge works now would be good too because they don't require actions. And yeah, if the monster starts breaking it on his turn, I think that means hell yeah for the party. The...

I think being offended is an emotional state one cannot help feel, at least initially, and emotions are just as real as kool-aid spilled, to the one feeling it. The question is what to do about those emotions, but I think it's more complicated than simply choosing whether or not to be offended...

Yeah, but I wish they took more of a leaf out of the Duskblade and Beguiler books. Maybe the Bladesinger has to forgo a daily at level 1, but at 5th level they can take a level 1 wizard daily. And so on. I have noticed a bit of a problem in the games I have participated in recently in the...

I do think I miss the days when I was even younger than I am now, playing D&D in AOL instant message chat rooms using the dice generator built into the chat. But honestly, the vast majority of the time I would grow swiftly disinterested in the games, for one reason or another. But I did enjoy...

What's wrong with those classes? Having seen all of them in play, I haven't noticed any obvious deficiencies. There is definitely a problem with lack of support for Seeker and Runepriest, but they are certainly playable as presented. I enjoyed playing my Seeker with a Dwarven Thrower Mordenkrad...

Eh, read what I was responding to I suppose. Divine sanction is a mark. He was saying to pick up the paladin power that gives divine sanction in a burst 3. EDIT: If you're saying that neonchameleon is incorrect, I must admit I did not look at the PDF, I was just responding to what he said at...

Is that really much better than a PHB rogue, with hardly any optimization at all? i.e. maybe taking backstabber at first level. Or a dual striking ranger? Plus, you have to deal with IMO lackluster assassin and warlock powers. Sure the basic attacks are good, but what about the warlock daily and...

The definition in the OP is too exclusive, but D&D still fits it in my opinion: Winning in D&D is beating the monsters, losing is dying to the monsters. Before the technical definitions of 'winning' and 'losing' start flying, players have an innate incentive to beat the monsters, and try to...

jimmifett Haha, actually, Dwarven Resilience is the dwarven power that lets you use your second wind. So that particular statblock does in fact mention Second Wind in a 'form.' A DM could use that power and thus be using Second Wind. But I see your point. It depends on your definition of...

Eh, if a DM is controlling a player character, that character has second wind in its statblock, and thus the DM can use it if he wants to. Also remember, second wind makes you spend a healing surge, it doesn't just give your healing surge value in healing. The distinction being that if a monster...

Right, sorry, should have quoted First Aid as well I suppose: The creature has no Second Wind available given that it's not listed on the statblock, and it has no second wind to call 'its' second wind. EDIT: Note, Second Wind and healing surges are not equivalent.

This indeed sounds like a funny situation, but should have been quickly dispelled as just a funny joke thing and then moved on. Everyone actually agreed to let the monster heal 1/4 of its hit-points? People thought 'oh hey, that's cool, minions should always do that'? Like I said, I can kind of...

That would indeed be interesting, unfortunately for me I can't recall a 4th edition game I've run or played in thats gone beyond ~5 sessions or so.

Celebrim I think the idea isn't to have friday be fallacy free, but to have fridays be free of people calling "fallacy!" I think. My experience on enworld has been if there is a logical fallacy someone will call it, but an opinion will be regarded as such. And I was thinking, if you walked...
