    Reflavoring

    For those who don't know, Eric & the Dread Gazebo is a classic gamer story. Check it out. :) Here's an amusing Knights of the Dinner Table video which is an adaptation of this story.

    Who is running a 4E Greyhawk campaign?

    What I recommend that if there's a 4e element that doesn't really fit, then don't mention it. If a player wants to play it, for example a Dragonborn, then they can be the first one ever! Someone had to be. Why not the PC? That's what I did when I converted my 2nd edition game to 3e and a...

    Anyone tried a fighter with reach yet?

    I'm playing an eladrin warlord, and I use a long spear as a secondary weapon. Normally, I use a sword and shield since +1 to attacks and AC are precious to me, but at certain points, I switch to the long spear. I even took the Quickdraw feat so that I can switch weapons faster, as I need to use...

    Please verify: you can threaten while unarmed.

    As far as I can determine, you can threaten, take opportunity attacks, and be a flank buddy while unarmed in 4th edition D&D. Correct?

    [KotS] Winterhaven player handouts?

    Thanks, everyone. These links are helpful and I will be using them. But, I'm surprised that there isn't a Wiki or download site somewhere on the internets where KotS DMs can share their adventure enhancements, aids, and handouts for other DMs of this adventure series.

    [KotS] Winterhaven player handouts?

    So, I'm going to start running this adventure and I'm checking to see if there are any handy DM resources out there to help enhance this adventure. Specifically, I'm looking for a "player's guide" to the town of Winterhaven that I can hand out which lists all of the common knowledge available...

    Artificer playtest any good?

    So, we may have encountered a bug in this class. Another player is playing it, so I am not familiar with the Artificer's details. But, he has the ability to reset the daily power of a magic item so it can be used again. But, a character is still limited to using one item daily power per day...

    Martial Controller? Forked Thread: WotC Spring 2009 Catalog

    The concept of a martial controller was what got me to play a fighter focused on the spiked chain when 3.0 came out. I loved how I should trip-smack approaching opponents and stop their charges and advances. On my turn I would use Combat Expertise to pump my AC while placing myself in the midst...

    Need help with insults!

    Determine what the points of pride are for each PC, and then ridicule them. Find the points of weakness for each PC, and then humiliate them. What's your PC roster? (race, class, level, distinctive features, personalities, etc.)

    Die Rolls or Point-Buy

    From my house rules document: Character Creation: Roll your stats as normal once. You may choose to use what you roll or build your characters stats using 32 point buy method described in pg. 169 of the Dungeon Masters Guide. Character Advancement: Roll for your Hit Points as normal. If the...

    Anticipating a Problem: How to handle with players "Set in their ways"?

    Just tell him you are running a game in Eberron. That should take care of things.

    Class Skills? How Many?

    When you multiclass, you get to pick a class skill of that class to be trained in. So, the class lists needs to be complete when listing the skills that are class skills.

    No more dumb fighters?

    In my personal experience, players who want to play low INT/WIS/CHA characters are trying to find a way to be a dick during a game while getting away with it. No thanks. I rather play with the experienced SWAT team that puts their best effort to achieve our shared goals.

    why cant I sneak attack with a longbow?

    I think you should be able to sneak attack with any weapon. (three minutes and 30 seconds into the video)

    Amazon Orphans unite!

    I just wanted to say that I have had really good experience with Amazon customer service representatives from India and the Phillipines. I say, give them a try before hanging up. Some of them are really good at what they do and have been doing customer service for Amazon customers for years.

    D&D Insider! UP ! (merged)

    Since the Gleemax forums is currently failing to sign me in, I will post my observation here. I was surprised to hear that the DDI site was live on EN World, since I have been using the short URL for DDI every day. It currently links me to the D&D site (like it normally has done), but it hasn't...

    Considering Hexes instead of squares

    Diamond grid battle mat If super-diagonal movement bugs you, but you want to keep using your square-grid battlemat, then turn your mat 45 degrees so you have a diamond-grid map instead where the most efficient movement is forward, backwards, and side-to-side. Moving diagonally is appropriately...

    Protection from Eldritch fire

    The lich would prepare ray deflection to counter the warlock. Ray deflection can be found on pg. 166 in the Spell Compendium. Because of this spell, my warlock always had a Plan B or Plan C ready in case his opponent had that up. Usually dispel magic scrolls and non-ray methods of attacking.
