    Feat Tax and Why It Harms the System

    I just want to say thank you to everyone in this thread, OP excluded, for bolstering my faith in role players :) Thanks, guys! To the OP: None of your assertions seem to bear out in actual play of the game. Math exercises are fun, and I enjoy them as much as the next nerd; but from what I've...

    Awesome! Thanks.

    The DM Hotline

    Is it possible we could se a "best of" compilation from this on DDI? Personally, I can't call because I'm overseas (even though I have a US number...), but it's no secret that when one person asks a question, there are at least a dozen more with the same question.

    Whence the displacer beast?

    I always thought the blink dog was created specifically to be the anti-displacer beast. Cat -> Dog Evil -> Good Displacing -> Blinking

    Adventure Module Pricing and Patronage Projects

    Would you mind elaborating on that? Count me among those that just doesn't understand what exclusivity brings to the table.

    Kev's Lounge Free D&D EquipmentCounters

    These are awesome, and I can't wait to start using them in my games. Ration cards would be incredibly useful, as well. If you're looking for more ideas for a second set, throwing hammers would be nice. :) Thank you so much for putting these together for all of us!

    Thrallherd

    Keep in mind that, RAW, the DM stats your thrall. As a DM, I had a very bad experience with a player and his Thrallherd...

    KotS Party Situation.. (long)

    I don't think it's at all unreasonable to think that your warchief and his band would avoid the zombie room as much as possible. Maybe they wait until the PCs have dealt with the zombies, then attack when the coast is clear. It's what I'd do if I were a superstitious, mercenary hobgoblin. Either...

    KotS - Glyphs

    If a jump doesn't trigger it, I don't think a plank should. I say reward your players for being intelligent, and let them bypass what turns out to be a pretty negligible trap to begin with.

    I’m Thinking of Giving 4e Another Shot

    There's absolutely no reason why you have to play with this mindset. If your PC would use an exploit (martial powers are called "exploits") in a given situation, then play it that way. The question, "Do I want to burn a daily power in this fight?", probably doesn't even occur to your PC. Every...

    Tricks to make your RPG experience better!

    If you use a battlemat, get the WASHABLE Crayola markers. Between the two sets you get 16 colors for less than $10, and they come off ridiculously easy with a wet paper towel.

    What Class are you? Fun tool from WOTC promoting PHB II

    That's definitely the worst of the "What Class Are You?" quizzes I've seen. The choices are too obvious. Meh.

    DungeonaDay and d20srd.org

    I agree; it does seem kind of underhanded to be charging for someone else's work. Even if it's not technically wrong, it would just be more professional to reproduce that information himself. :erm:

    Multiple attacks, immediate reactions, and conditions

    No; the rules actually say exactly the opposite. Combat Challenge reads, "While a target is marked, it takes a –2 penalty to attack rolls for any attack that doesn’t include you as a target." Since the NPC Ranger's Twin Strike includes the fighter as one of the targets, it is not subject to the...

    Multiple attacks, immediate reactions, and conditions

    p268 does not apply to twin strike. It refers to monster powers such as the Astral Stalker's Quick Claws attack, i.e., powers that allow the monster to use one of their powers twice as a standard action. Powers like Twin Strike and Thundertusk Boar Strike are different in that they require two...

    Our KOTS TPK (Warning: KOTS spoiler info)

    I'm really curious about how you handled this. My group is about to go through the same thing, and I'm not quite sure how to run it.
