When a character is first infected, he starts at the Initial effect. Does he keep rolling Endurance until he makes it to either side? Or does he roll once a day or something? The DMG is very unclear on this.

I use Alea Tools magnet markers. One of the best purchases I've ever made. You can get your foot in the door for about $30. I have a system that uses magnet circles as tokens. To pull this off, you need: *A collection of images - I recommend either the Wizards Art Gallery or Counter...

Thank you Klaus. I actually cut my counters into circles, so I end up with half a white circle. But if they're not in the jpegs, then I will pick this up.

Can anybody who owns this confirm whether the counters have the little white circles in the corner that the pdfs have? As much as I want this product, I find those little holes really obnoxious and it's kind of a deal breaker. Do the Castle of Shadow counters have them?

So I'm running Keep on the Shadowfell to introduce some new people to the game. I feel like really going all out on this, including counters for every monster. Fiery Dragon put out an excellent set of counters some time ago: www.fierydragon.com/downloads/castle_shadow.pdf I just wish they were...

Is there going to be a new class? I haven't seen any announcements on it so I assume not, but it might be a surprise...

Well tonight's game was canceled because too many people were busy. But I have something awesome worked out. I don't want to talk about it here on the off chance that a player reads this forum, but I'll let you know how it goes.

JoeNotCharles: Brilliant. It's a good, bad, ugly scenario, with magic. I can piss off the players by having four times the regular amount of enemies, and then give them a sigh of relief when the enemies start wailing on each other. weem: I like that idea, but what I'm doing isn't so much of a...

I run a one-shot game every Saturday for the local gaming club. And, of course, I have the writer's block. Anybody got some awesome plot hooks? It's for a level 4 party, and I'm open to anything as long as it's something original that the players have never seen before.

That's true. I'll take the wizard level now and take the rogue level later if it turns out the DM loves his fireballs. Thanks for the help.

So yeah, Daggerspell Mage. From Complete Adventurer page 31. I'm torn between going Rogue 1/Wizard 5 or Rogue 2/Wizard 5. It's basically a question of Evasion vs. another wizard level. Obviously the wizard level is better at like level 17, but we're starting at level 3 and I don't know how...

I use a similar setup. But since we don't have a regular gaming spot, portability is very important for me. *I have a fold-out laminated battlemat. I plan to purchase a set of battle graphs one of these days. I just use dry-erase markers, no dungeon tiles. *Even though I have a minis...

See, I don't want gems to be functionally identical to gold pieces. It seems like, "You kill the dragon. You find one million gold pieces," is too mundane. "You kill the dragon. You find one million gold pieces worth of gems and art. You may sell them to the local jeweler at your...

Alright, thanks. I'm going to make my own house rules for haggling.

So we have four types of gems: 100gp, 500gp, 1000gp, and 5000gp gems. But are we really supposed to believe that a few isolated settlements separated by expanses full of hideous monsters have a standardized system for dealing with the value of gemstones? Although the PHB doesn't explicitly...

Oy, it's kind of awkward to criticize a program then have the program's creator shows up. :p I did end up creating my own wiki, and yeah, the GM-only feature would be nice. Might I recommend that you streamline the NPC tracker and require fewer button clicks to change an NPC's name or tags...

I set up an account to try and digitize my campaign. As far as I can tell, OP doesn't do anything a regular wiki doesn't do. It has the adventure log and NPC tracker, but that's pretty easy to implement. Is there some crazy feature I'm not seeing here? It seems to me that OP is only...

I'd think a tiny hole in the nose would be less than 1HP of damage, so you could be at full HP and still keep the piercing. Here's your solution for everything: give the players what they want, but make them work for it.

Cool, thanks. I, the DM, was arguing that the bonus was doubled, while the players were arguing that it wasn't. I swear my players have no survival instinct.

This is the text of the power description, from Adventurer's Vault: Power (Daily): Immediate Reaction. Use this power when an enemy makes a melee attack against you. Make a melee basic attack against that enemy, with a power bonus on your attack roll equal to this weapon’s enhancement bonus...
