    Dungeon 159 - The Ziggurat Beyond Time

    A 21st level dungeoncrawl? Sounds rather disappointing. I like combat, but introducing the Epic tier should be about more than that. Oh well. It's not like I subscribe :D

    Sleeper in the Tomb of Dreams (Dungeon #155) - any advice?

    So.... anyone else? Anything?

    Are you buying a DDI subscription?

    I was not originally planning on purchasing DDI subscription, but actually the free-stuff made me realize I might want to. While I didn't like most, I did find some Dragon and especially Dungeon content interesting. However, I doubt if it will be able to continue supporting my game, and I've...

    Sleeper in the Tomb of Dreams (Dungeon #155) - any advice?

    Thanks! Yes, it is indeed my intention to use Last Breath of Ashenport as a follow-up. If you have any ideas on that, that too would be welcome. :)

    Sleeper in the Tomb of Dreams (Dungeon #155) - any advice?

    I'm gonna run "Sleeper in the Tomb of Dreams", from Dungeon #155, next session. Anyone got experience with this one? Any advice? The party will be minimal, just 4 characters strong. The characters are spanking-new level-8 characters, advanced in a single jump from level 3. So I'm expecting to...

    Standing up while teleporting?

    Hmm. No, it doesn't. Good POV on this, thanks.

    Standing up while teleporting?

    If a prone character is teleporting, say with feystep, is it possible for it to arrive as "standing" in the destination? What about if he's using some other teleportation power? Does this cost nothing, no action or so on?

    Is switching hands a free action?

    Your ruling is perfectly reasonable, IMO. I think generally switching hands is more time and effort consuming than the given Free Action examples, yet easier than the Minor Actions provided. It's somewhere in between. I am happy with ruling it a Free Action primarily since magical daggers...

    Is switching hands a free action?

    The guy is planning of using two Daily-power daggers. He throws one, and then the other on the next rounds, using both Daily effects in the same encounter, while keeping his Minor actions available for other uses . At least, he wants to have this as an option.

    Is switching hands a free action?

    Thanks you all, I'll rule it a free action based on all the above. Yes, I'd rule that it is.

    Is switching hands a free action?

    I'm thinking of ruling that switching hands (moving a small object from one hand to the other) is a Free Action. This is risky, however, so I want your advice. The item in question is a dagger. The idea is that by holding two daggers, you can throw the first and later draw the one in your...

    So What is a Roleplaying Game? Forked Thread: Clark Peterson on 4E

    A very good explanation. 4e is definitely a roleplaying game. But I find that the game-with-the-game in it is taking too much of a focus, making combat often appear to indeed be some weird version of chess. I think this is because the combat was developed to be fun as-a-game, instead of...

    So What is a Roleplaying Game? Forked Thread: Clark Peterson on 4E

    Mustrum_Ridcully, I think, has spotted the main issue - what is it about the combat system that makes it part of an RPG? And his answer is spot-on - that the system supports the idea that the combat is taking place within an imagined "real" world. I think the 4e combat system is too hampered by...

    Clark Peterson on 4E

    Excellent quotes, thanks for the summary. I rather agree with Clark that 4e feels like a miniatures game, so far. I've still only played low-levels (1-3), though. I'm gonna give 4e a lot of more time to pan out, but so far it does feel like it's lost the free-form, versimilitude-feel. This...

    D&D 4E Revisiting an old question: 4E Liker - anything you worry about?

    My largest fear was, I suppose, that the game would be complex to run. So far (with 6 sessions under my belt), this seems so-so. On the one hand, a simple fight appears simpler. On the other, the fights are more complicated as the situations and monsters are. I think it's a win on the 4e side on...

    KotS adjustment *spoiler*

    I see I'm late to the party, but figured I'll pile on my experience. I've had the opposite problem, as my group has 4 characters (a Paladin, Fighter, Warlock, and Wizard), all at level 3. Although smaller, these are competent players so I think they're pulling a bit above their weight - but the...

    A few rules questions

    Right. Thanks ya'll, you've been illuminating.

    A few rules questions

    A few things that cropped up in my latest session. As we're not sure on the rules, we'd appreciate ENWorld's knowledgable feedback. * Is it possible to interrupt an interrupt? Consider characters A, B, and C, all standing next to each other. A is a fighter, that has marked B. Now let's say C...

    4E Monster Manual II: will you?

    No, I'm just not interested. The three core books are enough for me, at least for my current campaign - and I'm not sure I'll be having another 4e campaign ever.

    Did you houserule Hardness back?

    Not how I read it. Stone, or even vault doors, are not an "unusual material". I read it more like "a wall of liquid magma may be particularly resistant to fire damage", not "a wall of stone may be particularly resistant to most damage types". The RAW seems clearly to stipulate that objects have...
