I suppose you've got rid of resurrection spells as well then, otherwise, where's the danger?

Defense, Fortitude and Willpower should replace the ugly names from Star Wars (Reflex Defense, Fortitude Defense, Will Defense - ugly, ugly, ugly!) Armor class could be the bonus a piece of armor provides to a character's Defense, if it is at all necessary to keep the term. Armor bonus would of...

Time Stop. One delayed blast fireball per round, plus one quickened and metamagically delayed other spell per round. It's not 10 guaranteed effects in a single round but they are on the other hand much more powerful than a beholder's eye rays. Well within reason for a level 20 wizard.

No.

No, and I don't want half-elves, half-orcs or tieflings either. Dwarf, elf, halfling and human would be just fine. If we need something else, how about some of the other non-hybrid humanoid races? Kobolds, lizardfolk, goblins and hobgoblins could all fill the shoes of the less interesting old...

Well... some traps always seemed more useful if they added something persistent to the environment rather than worked as a one-shot. Something as unoriginal as the old pressure plate would be more interesting if it wasn't all about reflex saving. How about this to spice up an encounter? A room...

Sweet! Now I want to see the other ones too.

Wow. Can I have your decoder ring? Obviously you must have got something out of that article that I didn't. Were they actually discussing how the new edition will require the sacrifice of virgins and babies to dark gods before every session or what?

DnD is a set of rules. Sometimes the rules are changed. Sometimes I change the rules, or another DM change them. Settings and fluff never enter into the equation.

Since alignments seem to be less important in 4e, maybe they finally got rid of the color/metal dragon idiocy and decided to just have ONE kind of dragon, but with endless variety in the form of dragon talents and special abilities that makes every dragon unique and interesting. It would keep...

The name yes, but it didn't say that he is Renard's contact, or if it does I couldn't find it. Thanks for the info though, now things make sense.

My player's captured Renard and Kathor during the Gauntlet fight. They interrogated them and I was left wondering who is really sending information to Renard? This information is conveniently left out of the module, at least I can't find it. I made something up to cover for it, but I was rather...

I'm considering changing the favoured enemies to make the groups larger. I can't really see a reason for a separate favoured enemy for every kind of humanoid. So Humanoids become a single favoured enemy option. This alone would make Ranger a lot more attractive. I might consider doing the same...

Oh, I didn't know a simulacrum wouldn't light up as a christmas tree all on its own when checked out with Detect Magic. I suppose the flickering lvl 1 illusion spell aura could be discerned through the glare of that lvl 7 illusion spell aura if the caster was really perceptive. I figured that...

Get a potion of disguise self for 50 gp. Give it to the simulacrum. If you need it to last longer and have the money, get a hat of disguise. Give it to the simulacrum.

We removed the silly oriental weapons, gave monks simple weapons proficiency and allowed them to use simple weapons as monk weapons for all purposes. We never looked back.

This is similar to what I have come up with. I created a needlessly complicated cosmology for what could have been a simple dungeonhack campaign, but I never expected I would have to actually use it for at least another 5 levels. Right now I'm struggling with questions like "why isn't the world...

Ok, so they all died. Maybe it was my fault, maybe they could have retreated, maybe, maybe... Regardless of who is to blame I'm left to try to fix it. I don't really feel like starting over my little campaign with new characters, and the players don't want to create new characters either. I'm...

Profession (pearldiver), Profession (goldminer), Profession (prospector), Profession (herbalist)... Estimate the value of the pearl you want in gold pennies. Make profession (pearldiver) checks, one per week, until you roll equal to or higher than the value of your pearl. This is a highly...

Tonfa blows? How about nunchaku? It's an exotic weapon with NO SPECIAL ABILITIES! It's not like there are any monks in d20 modern who can use flurry of blows with the nunchaku.
