Strahd has not received an official update. If you have the offline Monster Builder, updating monsters to MM3 rules is very easy.

I ran a session in which the players were imprisoned. The party watched the guard rotation and waited until the weakest guards were on duty. The fighter threw a violent fit and distracted the guards. Then the warlock teleported out of his cell and grabbed the keys, letting out the rest of the...

Falling damage was 1d6 in 3rd edition and 1d10 in 4th edition. That was probably the source of the confusion.

I always thought the story ended with the old man and the little boy carrying the donkey on their backs. Then they break their backs and die.

You know what else would be fun? Having a good attitude. Maybe you could actually try this class and find out that you love it. Or maybe some other people really like it and Wizards can't be spending every ounce of energy making you, in particular, happy. Wizards is working on a lot of...

Are you being sarcastic, or is there some amazing sorcerer paragon path I'm not aware of?

To comment on Peraion Graufalke's list: Leader: Clerics are the best in terms of raw healing, but tend to lag behind other classes with buffing. Striker: Rangers and rogues are the best single target strikers. Sorcerers are the best multi target strikers. Besides that I agree with that list...

As a DM with a wizard player, that spell always annoyed me. The minions, although perfectly healthy and of sound mind, stand there knowing they are only seconds away from fiery death. What is going through their heads? Are they regretting the decisions that led them to this point? Do they...

Seriously, just give it up. Wizards isn't going to make the game you want. Find another game and go have fun with it. That's the whole point of capitalism.

These are all leading questions. They all have some sort of assumed statement built into them. These questions are not likely to be picked because not everybody who reads the web-site is going to make the same assumptions. You could rephrase them like so: 1. Are there any plans to update...

Can we just get a separate message board titled "They changed it now it sucks" and transfer like half the threads over there? We have no evidence that 5th edition is on the horizon, by the way. I would like to believe that 4th edition has more than three years of life in it.

The thing about the four roles is that they fundamentally define anything you would want to do in combat. In combat, you have two goals: reduce the enemies' HP, and not get your own HP reduced. You can contribute in two ways: you can directly affect your party's or the enemy's HP total, or you...

It is possible to data mine from the D&DI Compendium. Sylloge, an Android app, does it. It requires that the user be logged into D&DI so it's legal.

For anybody who actually ran the original module in 4e, how many backup characters did you allow? I'm thinking of allowing one backup per player. I've heard the 4e conversion isn't as deadly, so that should be enough. How often did you allow an extended rest?

Okay, thanks. I thought it was five players, but I didn't want to risk having too many players and making it actually possible.

I am referring to both the RPGA freebie and the super-adventure. I recently got ahold of them both, and neither say whether they're meant for four or five players.

I like what I'm seeing, but I'm confused about the Technologist. The simulacrum has a speed of 4 but can't move on its own? Also, there's a typo in the power's header.

Is there an official ruling on how the DM is supposed to compensate for themes? Do we add an extra monster to the party? Add a level to the monsters? Kinda just eyeball it?

It was never made available to the public. The only way to obtain it legally is by spending $50 on Ebay.

The latest large Magic set, Scars of Mirrodin, has 249 cards: 104 common, 58 uncommon, 52 rare, 15 mythic rare, and 20 basic lands. An MTG booster pack costs $4 and has 16 cards: 1 marketing card, 1 basic land, 10 commons, 3 uncommons, and 1 rare or mythic rare (rare 7/8 of the time, mythic...
