    New D&D Facebook Game Live Today!

    D&Df - The precursor to DDi Looks...interesting. I don't see why the race/class selection has to be so restricted, but since all you're really doing is clicking one button and then choosing an adventure, I guess the race/class isn't so important. Hmm, the fact that you can heal your friends...

    Any Thurderspire (H2) aides?

    Well, the only negative feedback I can give you is that I have a hard time telling which tokens I'm suppose to use for which monster. I mean, a good portion of them are self evident, but there are a bunch I couldn't immediately figure out (like the hobgoblins). Other than that, the resources...

    Any Thurderspire (H2) aides?

    Thank you Thank you all for these aides. Used the maps, NPC cards and tokens over the weekend. We didn't get very far into H2 (we finished up H1 at the start of the session and got through the first encounter in H2 by the end of the session) but the maps really helped with the flow of the game...

    New DDI aps

    I just hope they'll let us playtest the game table before making us shell out for year's subscription. If there is no playtest period (I.E. Free trial) than I will shun it like leper.

    New DDI aps

    I remember reading an article, not too long ago, that said they were looking at something in the $10/month range for the DDI applications. I would be very surprised if the total per month cost was anything significantly less than $10/month

    New DDI aps

    Encounter generator looks good. Heck, just the ability to sort the monsters by level/role is very helpful. What do you guys think of the price? (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4news/20080806) Basically, they want to charge $5 a month for what we currently have. I.E. The...

    Starting wealth for higher levels?

    Just a note on starting gold above 1st level: It doesn't really work well for lower level characters. If you compare what a character of 2nd level gets when you use the rules for making higher level PCs to what a PC of 2nd level should have from the 'treasure parcels' that the PCs accumulate...

    Can you retrain class features? Would doing so be unbalancing?

    And what is/are the consequence(s) of breaking your pact? And don't many/most of the Warlock powers have some link to your pact? Wouldn't you have to retrain many of your powers?

    Is Brute Strike extra-sad?

    Brute Strike is down right emo. So is Metor Strike; he got nerfed so bad that even the cleric laughs at him.

    D&D 4E Handling things like Riding and Craft with 4E Skills.

    It's D&D not B&B I like to play D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) not B&B (Blacksmiths and Basket-weavers). But, to actually answer the question, I would let any PC who wanted a craft or profession skill to have a craft or profession skill. What's their skill check modifier? 1/2 lvl + appropriate...

    Can you retrain class features? Would doing so be unbalancing?

    It would only really be an issue with the Warlock, as far as I can tell, since the Warlock makes pacts. It'd be pretty weird for a Warlock to 'retrain' his pact, especially from a roleplaying point of view.

    Can I move 0?

    You know, I was going to take your advise here and check DDI, but when I visted the site, to my utter amazement, the DDI site, indeed all of Wizards.com, is down! That never happens! I can't wait to pay $10/month for this obviously great site!! *the previous statement is sarcastic and not...

    Printer Friendly KotS Maps

    Powers as rewards?

    If by "occasionally" you mean "when they level up", then no, that wouldn't break the game. Otherwise, yes, yes it would.

    Shadowfell Gloves and longer-lasting damage spells

    I agree that the wording makes it sound like it should only add the damage once (that was my first impression) but I think that would put the magic item below the power range of other magic items of the same level.

    Shadowfell Gloves and longer-lasting damage spells

    Well, I WAS in the "add 1d6 to the power's damage once and only once" group, but then I did some research and realized I was probably wrong. You see, whenever I find a magical item whose description/function is in question, I look for a similar item (an item that has a similar effect) that's...

    D&D 4E a couple of questions about 4E rules...

    I was definitely the sorceror who casted the same spell 7 times in a row in one encounter in 3.x. Then again, I was an unashamed power gamer. I also don't see a problem with taking the same power more than once. If you give up a 5th level daily to get two of the same 1st level dailies then you...
