I think the Star Pact Warlock is not exactly either/or, I think you need both CON and CHA for this one.

One man's ninja is another's Thief-Acrobat, woot!

Well, you could try this: YouTube - Henry V- Speech

Well, to be fair, first edition does not have any combat options beyond "I hit it with my sword/dagger/bohemian earspoon" In such a game, I would also expect for a combat to be over before 10 minutes, so that we can go back to the exploring and the puzzles. Now, in my 4th edition game, our...

As a student of Western Martial arts, let me tell you that it's easier to hold your sword in your armpit, behind your shield, while you take a quick drink of potion, and then just go ahead and continue the combat.

That's because D&D Warlords, just like any other PC, are heroic characters with a compelling personality that allows them to do amazing deeds. Just like firesnakearies said, just because a character's power source is "Martial" it doesn't mean it's "Mundane" Think of Captain America, think of...

The vast range of responses to this thread just amazes me... As for me, I play in two groups, one of them consists of three couples and an extra guy. The other one is all-guys, but this was by chance and not by choice.

Can't talk about Thunderspire Labyrinth, but I successfully refluffed Keep on the Shadowfell and my players are very happy about it. I mean, the adventure as written is a bit low on story and it feels a bit rail-roady at times, but since the encounter areas are all fine, it was just a matter of...

We used to play hitpoints as "fleshwounds" in 3E and earlier... You know, like "that arrow hits you in the shoulder for 10hp!" Of course, narratively speaking, this meant that PCs ended up looking like pincushions (there's a Lidda picture somewhere that shows something similar) - Now that we...

Narrativism for the win!!! Seriously, how many people have stayed on the bedside of a comatose lover/friend/family member, talking to them... And of course, in fiction, this is sure to result on said character "returning to life"! (how/if it works on real life is a question I leave to...

Dunno if anyone's noticed, but the sample characters from Keep on the Shadowfell have been updated to paragon level for P1 King of the Trollhaunt Warrens... And the updated sheets have power cards! Sample Paragon Characters Not particularly impressed on the design, I actually like some of the...

Thankfully, none Now I can ignore alignment in my game without having to ban/houserule spells and abilities. Seriously, Detect Evil has been banned in my table since forever...

I printed mine on regular paper on a laser printer, mark the borders with green/red/yellow fluorescent marker, and put them inside some standard "deck protector" sleeves, with a Magic card behind them for strong backing. Easy peacy

I have several characters with drink preferences, I'll post the preferences of both my oldtime favorite (the most talkative) and the current one (the most laconic) Amphimir Míriel - Half-Elf bard "GREETINGS INKEEPER!!" He yells as he opens the door, grinning a huge lunatic smile "It is I...

First of all, thanks for posting and clarifying stuff Scott, you know we love you... A fourth edition update to Exemplars of Evil would be fantastic. I loved that book, but I really couldn't use it in my game because of of the villians on it needed very high level opponents or lots of...

Thank you for your oh-so-helpful post.

Now back into topic, what still bugs me about 4th edition is: 1- The designers tried to get rid of alignment, were blocked by someone higher up, and we ended up with a weird pastiche of previous alignments. 2- Homebrewing races is simple enough, but homebrewing classes (or even alternative...

I suggest that you read the Skill Challenges section once more. As Mouseferatu has pointed out, you are welcome to try any skill in a skill challenge, provided that you can justify its use. Besides, it helps a lot if the players become used to combining roleplaying with skill rolls For...

I second this. I have been thinking of running a Sci-Fi game, using the SW-Saga rules, without Force and Jedi, to play in the Wormhole nexus (setting of the Vorkosigan books by Louis McMaster Bujold)

Lets not go overboard. There are only two classes that mark their targets, since the Warlock's Curse and the Ranger's Quarry features do not generate a compulsion on the target to attack the PC. The Paladin's mark is, for those simulationists out there, a divine spell. Its even there on the...
