    Ampersand: Monsters, Minis, Ammo

    Oh really. You're saying, if I understand your reference to Walls of Iron correctly, that an intelligent player with a pen of rust monsters could get a gamebreaking (or possibly infinite) amount of money. How? Seriously. How do you pull off this magic trick? :hmm: The DM has to break the...

    One Million Magical Locations

    I'd say "preserved intact" instead of just plain turned into stone--a three-dimensional shadow in water, a statue of faintly glowing ice, a corpse kept fresh with gentle repose, a living creature locked in stasis via time stop or immersion in raw quintessence, et cetera. ...A portable weapon...

    Any way to make PHB2 class PCs before the book comes out?

    In DDI, there are previews (or playtest, for the barbarian) for every class save the avenger (and even then there is enough leaked info to reconstruct it up to level 4). If you are playing at level 4 or below, playing any of the PHBII classes would require only a one-month DDI subscription; each...

    Compendium Updated!

    It's not that bad, I think. Right click on the little "page" that comes up, go to the "this frame" option, and then click "open frame in new tab". Might make it a little better? Still kind of irritating. Unless you're using Opera, apparently.

    Eberron 4th Edition?

    Nothing will change. Word of God.

    With a subscription to DDi Character Builder, buying a PHB2 isn't necessary.

    ...technically true. Still buying the book.

    I need a good Lemure... and make it snappy!

    I applaud your reskin prowess, but A) most of the players in that party just fought an advanced young black dragon, B) that fight was getting kind of dull by the end, C) I'm already pairing the lemures up with what should be a larger and more dangerous overlord--the gulthir, and D) I'm...

    I need a good Lemure... and make it snappy!

    Pretty good. How would you do a non-minion Lemure? The only way I can make my players fear a minion is fill the entire 20x22 arena with them.

    I need a good Lemure... and make it snappy!

    I'm working on an encounter that, I have decided, needs evocative Lemures. Level 3, 4, or 5--the players are level 4, I want to field a bunch of them, and I want it to be a level 6 or 7 encounter. Preferably nothing that weakens opponents, since I'm pairing them up with a larger creature (a...

    What 18th level monsters need converting?

    Do you mean "high paragon" 18th level, or "on the verge of Epic Spellcasting" 18th level? The two are very very different, as you know. One of them includes bodaks; the other includes the Tarrasque.

    Survivor grafitti

    Twenty feet apart, on various large chunks of rubble: "...were created by Man." "They rebelled." "They evolved." "They look and feel..." "Human." "There are many copies." "And they have a plan." A sketch of Rick Astley in a youtube-style frame. Please, please say I have enough orange to do...

    advice to anyone still wondering if they should purchase a DDI subscription today

    GAAH. SO DUMB. What the hell is up with this? Is it deliberate? How can it be accidental? Why would someone possibly make it deliberate?

    Open Grave - Another Omission?

    Another omission?

    So I have the Martial Powers book.

    Read the post. Are there any new at-wills specifically for the ranged Ranger? Are there any new heroic-tier feats specifically aimed at the ranged Ranger? Are there any paragon paths specifically aimed at the ranged Ranger? He's not asking about the class as a whole; he's asking if the book...

    Comments and dislikes of lore and other changes in the 4th ed MM.

    Because they--along with all the other giants--were created to serve the Primordials, the foes of the gods at the beginning of time. Specifically, they were created to kill and oppress their divine-made counterparts, the smaller humanoids (elves, humans, dwarves, et cetera). I'm not really a fan...

    ...You just killed one of my players' characters. Would you like to share any of those encounter ideas?

    piracy is a problem

    Well, duh. I think that you'd have to be pretty stupid, or have spent the last ten years in a cave, to not suspect that the books would be available online before they're even released. The question was, will the overall amount of piracy over time be significantly detrimental to 4E's overall...

    Indiana Jones 4 and KotS similarities? *Spoilers*

    As an atheist, you believe that religious stuff is illogical, evidence-free, and often ridiculous. You're predisposed to file it all under "fantasy", and as a D&D geek you're willing to overlook, if not revel in, the peculiar logic associated with fantasy. That is, you're used to suspending your...
