I haven't read it yet, but are you sure that normal source of light (or even a low level spell like a cantrip) would be enough to pierce the mystical darkness that the Dragon dragon summons? Also did your dragon actually sit in the middle of his Cloud of Darkness? Where he has Total Concealment...

Isn't it a bit biased to post a poll like this on a DnD forum?

I say let it them use a skill to salvage the item (perhaps Heal or Arcane), but leave it outside of the usual treasure parcels. Let players show ingenuity and act like real adventurers. Also encourage them to use their money for other non-combat related purposes. Nice luxurious rooms, a...

I think that using the ability to wield an off-hand weapon while using a bow.. well I don't think it's really what the intention was. If that ever became popular enough I think they'll bring out an errata to correct it. I think it's really supposed to be meant for two people wielding melee weapons.

Ok, IF the character should be able to know this (maybe he has high mental stats, the right skills or whatnot) why shouldn't the character say "I have a bad feeling about that door". I mean if your character has 8 in Int and Wis and nothing in Thievery and such then I can understand it. But if...

nWoD Wasn't badly received at all. I think that a lot of people liked it. In the crowd that I was in if you didn't like it they just shrugged and played with the old one. They didn't try to tackle on bits from the former onto the new. I think the largest changes were probably the setting for...

Are you sure you want to do a 4th Edition game by post? It's somewhat miniature heavy (actually if we are to believe the DMG you need miniatures more then character sheets ;p). It also seems to delve heavily on on tactics. I think there were some posts on playing without miniatures though. They...

Ease > Common Sense If this disturbs you you can always wing it. And if the players complain that it wasn't in the rules simply say that its common sense not to sleep in armour. Perhaps Endurance check with armour check penalty. +5 per day. Make the first one something a Heroic character...

I hope they improve the path in one of the upcoming books. Perhaps give him a better Paragon Path. Pity, I was planning to make one but not with the current PP. I suppose I could always alter the concept to fit "infernal"... although I'd have to change the fluff on that one as well.

I just thought of a great setting. It's unusual for a DnD setting since it's humorous and bizarre rather then anything else. When reading this, do try to remember that I just thought of this 5 min ago and am making it up as I write this post. First of all the PC's (hereafter called "Heroes")...

True, but that's still an impressive move for an apprentice Wizard. Many arcane colleges would give such a student great (albeit postmortem) honours for such an impressive feat. Although his (ex) professors might shake their heads and note to add the case to the curriculum. Maybe they'll...

I know I shouldn't. Not amongst all the praises (it is a nice article) but I just have to get this off my mind. ... Really? I mean really? That's the most dreadful by far? An open grave? I walked past an open grave. I thought to myself "it's such a good thing that they have machines to...

Staff of the Lich Hmm, Staff of the Lich, the very first staff we've seen that has an encounter effect. Not too bad considering that (technically) a Level 1 Wizard could use the staff to immobilize Orcus for a turn.

At level 30 you'll probably have ways to reuse your encounter/daily spells. Also you can always retrain your at-wills later on. By the time your thirty they'll probably be new at-wills for Wizards for you to try out.

I applaud anything that allows variety and choice. LET people make bad characters. I've played in groups where some people made choices that were sub optimum as well as really good and we ALL had fun. Hell, I even play a sub optimum character sometimes just for fun. Let people have their choices.

Pity if that happens since it's probably the closest we've gotten to actually finding out exactly what the difference is between the two.

Yeah but at least the other character can go on fighting instead of using his standard action.... although... this does make someone else sacrifice their action.

Well, I don't know how they did it at Scalegloom but you'd need to be in a party with 7-8 Level 1 characters before encountering a Dragon. With three characters technically they'd all have to be level 6 before they would encounter a dragon.

I was wondering something, I have a setting idea which is heavily inspired by medieval Japan + Fantasy. I was wondering if the classes could be directly converted to more oriental styles just by changing their names and the descriptions of their powers or if they would require more work...

Have a force demolish the village they live in but leave them alive (he left them for dead, didn't notice them or whatnot). Either have it be the ultimate enemy or a force that works for him. If the first they can chip away at his power base until they can take him on or they can get one person...
