    Any 2nd Gurus that can help?

    Well, this wasn't in the D&D rules. But if it was like the house rule we used to use, it involved calling out a desperate prayer while in desperate situations. You would then roll percentiles and you rolled at or under your character level, the god you called out to would help out in some way...

    WotBS curiosity about errata/balance issues in 3e/4e WotBS

    Personally, I love having this opportunity to improve an already-published document. It's one of the benefits of living in the future that I enjoy. When truth wins, everybody wins!

    WotBS Errata for WotBS #1

    (dink, dink...) Page 46, Boxes and Crates: replace "Balance" with "Acrobatics." Page 47: Souldraining Great Hammer should do 2d6 of damage from dice.

    Thank you for your feedback, and for posting your house rules. Now that I've finally taken the time to review every response and then update my rules further, here's the rules I added or changed from my original posting: Action Point Instead of taking an extra action when you can spend an...

    WotBS Errata for WotBS #1

    First of all, I wanted to express how pleased I am by this adventure. When I first downloaded the player's guide, I had some serious concerns about it. I got the sense that this conversion to 4th edition was being done by someone who didn't understand or accept the underlying design principles...

    Please troubleshoot my rules wording for prone and move action:

    I've thought of this and then found that crawl is a move action, but not part of a move action (like jumping, swimming, climbing, and balancing are.) But this is the kind of responses that I'm looking for.

    The People of the Cat.

    Before that Kitsune article came out, I made up my own racial power for this race. I build it by combining the druid's Wild Shape feature and the druid's 2nd level utility power, Skittering Sneak. Then I created two feats to make the fox form useful in combat. I think these elements can be...

    The People of the Cat.

    You may want to check out and reskin (heh) the Kitsune from Kobold Quarterly #9.

    Please troubleshoot my rules wording for prone and move action:

    "Failure: you fall prone and lose the rest of your move action." Is this redundant? Can you think of anything you can do with the rest of your move action after it's been interrupted by becoming prone?

    Frequency of Squeezing

    Funny thing. I was just going to add squeezing opportunities in the "White Wyrms" encounter in the War of the Burning Sky Adventure "The Scouring of Gate Pass." It takes place in a very large warehouse, where there's islands of bunched-up boxes & crates. I was going to add some thin passage...

    Dominated, are you still an Ally?

    Another consideration is having a dominated creature move through ally or enemy spaces. If the big bad dominates the wizard and has him move through the party to end up next to him, can party members deny the dominated ally from moving through their space? Can enemies allow the dominated to...

    Converting ritual scrolls to books?

    I have a house rule for this situation, that you may want to consider: Ritual Books & Scrolls Ritual books as described in the rules don’t exist. Ritual books are simply binders to compile a collection of ritual scrolls, and costs 1 gp. You can use a ritual scroll as you would normally use a...

    The new Kindle DX: good for gaming?

    Kindle does remember your place in the book you're reading. So, by pressing the Home key, it will take you to the list of books. You would then select the other book and it would open to the last point you were reading. So, it can work a little better than described above, but being able to...

    House Rules: If I show you mine, will you show me yours?

    Here's my first draft of my 4th D&D house rules. I would appreciate any thoughts on them, and I would also like to know what house rules are in the 4th edition D&D games you're in. Action Point Instead of taking an extra action when you can spend an action point, you can use one of these...
