    Poll: Irontooth Total Player Kill

    I'm not sure what you mean by this. Once the PCs become aware of it they should know where it is? And once they take damage they should know what's up. Were you taking HP from them without telling them or something? Or was it that they kept failing perception checks? Oh, I think I get it...

    Alternate Ability Score Generation Method

    Okay, my players and I both like die rolling methods for creating characters, but I was worried with the way that 4e was designed about the possibility of 4d6 drop the lowest causing some issues with game play if the characters didn't end up with a very high score to put in their primary attack...

    Question about Death and Dying

    Ok, just noticed this last night when running KotS's Kobold lair. I got the death saving throw thing. There is no more stabilize yourself except on a 20+. 9 or lower you get a check, you get three you die. You keep rolling until you get 20+ or someone stabilizes you. Ok, under the Heal...

    average result from an open ended dice roll

    Yeah, after I read it for the fourth or fifth time and understood what they were doing with that. You notice that the last time I edited that post was before I commented on yours and before you replied to me? So, if you saw that then you must have known that I reread things and discovered the...

    How drunk do I get? - need rules for intoxication

    Apparently, not to the starter of this thread. Telling someone else that their way of playing is wrongbadfun isn't helping either. The guy wants rules for this, it's his game, who are you to say what he should do in his game?

    average result from an open ended dice roll

    I DID read this thread, all of it, several times. I even commented on several of the earlier posts, did YOU not read that? So, PLEASE, do ME the favor of actually reading the thread and then realize that I already read it. I really feel like flaming here, I'm in a bad mood I guess, but I'll...

    average result from an open ended dice roll

    Heh, this is all much easier than you guys are making it out to be. http://www.rpg.net/columns/rollthebones/rollthebones2.phtml Scroll down to open ended rolls. M = M0/(1-p)) Where M is the average you're looking for. M0 is the average without rerolls and P is the probability of rerolling...

    Poll: Irontooth Total Player Kill

    I just ran my party through that tonight. I even warned them ahead of time about this encounter and how people were complaining online, tpks, etc. I even told them it was level six. I never do this, but we wanted to see how it would play because we're trying out 4e and this product. I gave...

    How to hurt a party KotS style - Ginnel stay out :-p

    Well, yesterday we ran through the crater encounter and then the lair. They easily dispatched the monsters outside the lair and the party's new member, an elf ranger, managed to take out the slinger with two well placed arrows before he was able to get inside and warn the rest. I pause play...

    Collected Core Handbook Errata

    Thank you, it's been a while since I looked at that. But that just proves my argument about CS. You can find threads on here that gave different answers from them about the Spellbook issues. But thanks for that. Hmm... it appears that they answer the crit issue as well, maybe that's what you...

    Did the WotC boards blow up...again?

    No, they've already done that and they still need more. I always knew there was some nefarious reason they picked Gleemax as the name/logo for this.

    CustServ on "What is 'an attack'?"

    How about a paladin PC versus a hobgoblin with the wizard template and the wall of fire power? Or perhaps a Wizard NPC? Also, what about powers that buff other PCs attacks? It's all relevant. I should hope the rules do cover it because they are allowing monsters to have player powers. Any...

    Vorpal Uber Weapons?!?

    It took you several days to write that up? Or are you trying to make some kind of joke?

    Collected Core Handbook Errata

    Thanks, but having seen how inconsistent CS reps are in their answers to questions I take what they say only as a recommendation. I've seen too many CS reps give conflicting responses to the same questions. Enhanced Spellbook and replacement powers for one example. But this thread isn't for...

    Vorpal Uber Weapons?!?

    These are good fixes that people are coming up with. But that still doesn't solve the problem of how it is supposed to be done according to the rules.

    Collected Core Handbook Errata

    Well, I'm sorry that I missed it then "more than once." I can believe that, but can you show me where this has been clarified? Just telling me that I'm wrong isn't much help. Because that's not how I read it in the book. And I just reread it when I made that post. Also, part of my point was...

    Collected Core Handbook Errata

    No, the only thing you maximize with a crit is the weapon damage. You don't maximize sneak attack damage or any additional rolls like that. The Hunter's Quarry is "extra damage." You only maximize damage that "you can roll with your attack." Also, since you apply the HQ damage AFTER the...
