    King's Castle Effect

    This situation is covered in the Player's Handbook. Although it can be hard to find because it doesn't involve forced movement. The last part of the Push, Pull, & Slide Forced Movement section (pg. 286) states: So, you shift; your target slides. This is important for my Warlord because his...

    D&D 4E So... is there a default 4e campaign setting?

    You mean Hank's bow of infinite wishes? It's pretty sad that it was much more versatile than the wizard's magic hat. If you tried to stat it out based on the entire history of the series, it would be crazybroken.

    The campaign's final battle - what do you do?

    One thing that happened when we fought Lolth was that one of the players moved up and then broke a Staff of Power/Magi (I don't remember) to go nova. Lolth was right outside of the blast radius. Doh. For the original poster, make it clear to the players that losing this battle results in total...

    The campaign's final battle - what do you do?

    Yes. We played the Giant-Drow series in 1st edition, and Lolth wiped us out in the end. However, I was OK with that because I felt that I have played through the whole adventure series.

    "If this problem is so bad, why aren't YOU doing it, NPC?"

    There's an RPG trope that's implemented due to every D&D game featuring a party of adventurers—adventurers are common. Flush it. Instead, have each character define their class by their actions and choices. The player's wizard who just hit 6th level? He's the first one ever!

    eBooks, What Format Do You Do?

    Kindle can read unprotected mobi files directly. Kindle for iPhone can only read books purchased from the Kindle store. BTW, Kindle is now available to international customers, in case you weren't able to get one because you're not in the US.

    Linking pages in the PDF - nice!

    Just a reminder for those who print their adventures. You can move the encounter pages to the section that initiates that encounter. Why am I saying the obvious? Well, :uhoh: it only took me a couple of months to figure that out for myself. :o

    Uncannily prescient PCs.

    I was playing in a 2nd ed. AD&D game that was just starting up. Since I wanted to properly represent the 19 INT that my gnome thief/illusionist had, I assigned him the personality character template of Jupiter Jones from the Alfred Hitchcock's Three Investigators series of books, which helped me...

    Hiring a ritual spellcaster

    Suppose you wanted to hire an NPC to cast Transfer Enchantment for you. How much would this cost? I didn't see this option listed in the Player's Handbook or the Dungeon Master's Guide. Are there any rules about hiring someone to cast a ritual for you? If not, how have you handled this...

    Kindle - Amazon Remote Deletion of E-Books

    When you buy a regular book, you don't own it. You own one licensed copy of the book. You only completely own books you write that isn't a copy of other works.

    Studded Leather Armor

    Also, "light crossbow" should be "crossbow" instead. Otherwise new players may try to shoot laser beams from their crossbow.

    WotBS A Campaign World for WotBS 4e

    The map of the Ragesian peninsula is my "campaign world" for this adventure. I'm using the Player's Handbook gods for the gods of this campaign world. If I had more experienced players, I may have considered using Eberron. But I've got a n00bfest. But, honestly, I've fallen in love with the...

    Where has the Assasin gone.

    The assassin is behind you. The dagger blade popping out of your chest is your first clue. ;)

    Tele-gaming solutions

    I need the DDI virtual tabletop right now! But, since I can use this vaporware right now, I would like to know what is available to support this need. Last week, one of the players who is currently in a different state was participating with our tabletop game via internet telephone. We, of...

    Which mini to use for Torrent?

    I've been using the Storm Silverhand miniature: She's not appropriately armed to represent Torrent. But I just like this miniature, and I'm happy to be able to use it.

    Superior Cover from Allies?

    I think that the ability to get superior cover from an ally would make a great feat, or a special for a controller, artillery, skirmisher, or, lurker.

    Rules for selling gems?

    The thing is, you're supposed to buy things (magic items) with gems, not convert it to gold. Gems are currency. You give the seller a gem, and he gives you a magic item with some gold in change.
