Great... That already helps a lot.

Has anyone experimented with downtime and troupe style game? If every player has more than one character but only plays one at a time the character(s) not played may have time to do downtime activities even if the plot "requires" the group to continuously tackle the problems at hand. While one...

I'm probably overthinking it because it was that much fun the first time (is there a "tales from your WotBS sessions"-thread or should I open one to not derail this thread?) The bard in the group jumped on the opportunity to become a Wayfarer as soon as possible (and also got the SoF in the 2nd...

I intend to "sometime soon" start running WotBS again (I ran the first few adventures ages ago with 3.5 and we tried to "continue" in 4e but then the group disbanded) If I start it now (with a new group since all players don't play D&D anymore) I'll use A5E. Which WotBS parts are not already...

I recently had some strange ideas regarding Cipher Swords (from GPG #3) 1. Can a 10th level Artificer make a Schematic of the (very rare) weapon and then create Infusions of them? 2. If so, does someone who was given one of those Infusion Cipher Swords (ICS) lose the gained mastery levels if...

BTW: Whispered One vs. .Mouthless One ended in a "Do we really want to do this the next hours?" MO has better stats (almost everything including a multiple of HP), but a shorter range for the only attack that is pretty sure to cause damage which causes him to be in range for WO's attacks. WO...

I asked this on the discord but maybe someone here knows about it (or has plans): Is there a "Whispered One vs. Mouthless One" already somewhere online? I'll probably have an Archlich duel with the "I almost always play wizards" player from my regular group as Vecna. I am wondering if I should...

As for specifically combining Dangerous Signature with a ranged attack... Couldn't that be done with The Throwing Stance (also Unending Wheel)? Granted... a normally Melee only weapon would probably still be counted as a Ranged Weapon Attack but if it was only used to leave a mark (at short...

I'd go with the listing in the text as you just reach 3rd spell level at 9th, so you would at the same time that you reach 3rd level keep the same fizzle ratio from your 2nd level spells. Delaying this better portraits some sort of better control over the spells.

Can an East Wind monk use his cantrips without Ki points or does he need 1/cantrip since they are "level 0" spells? The examples only list level 1+ spells so they don't really clarify this Thanks in advance.

Can someone clarify a bit about the setting for me? The hidden city of the Taranesti was originally a Drow city. But right now the drow aren't there anymore (except the two assassins). Am I right to assume that the Drow left the city some time ago (even before the Taranesti came) and are now...

I am wondering if it would be possible to include Katrina as a PC in adventure 7. Our group recently changed and one of the new players would be a great fit for Katrina. So far none of her special background has become known to the group (I'm putting this vague on purpose, just in case one of...

You can also use a "backdoor" login by logging into the forums. Once I logged myself in there I also was logged into the Insider AND my login even stayed logged in (which it usually didn't do)

In my experience, it's not the logo but the useability in the Character Builder that makes and breaks third party products in 4e. If it's something simple (like a magic item that works sometimes and you just can write the stats to the "normal/magical" version of the item) then it's far likelier...

I'd take a look at the "Spellscarring" Rules from the Forgotten Realms. They could fit the mutations from Biomancy somewhat.

As I interpret them, the "true" Two Winds Monks aren't just Monks they are multiclassed (or maybe even Hybrid?) Monk/Sorcerer (East Wind) or Monk/Cleric (West Wind)

Your players can play the game without looking into the players guide once (some of my players never have), you just might have to explain some things to them (or direct them to the players guide) As a GM I'd suggest you first read through the players guide (some of the info might also be in...

We started in 3.5 and had a LONG (3 year) pause when 4e was released. Now the campaigns we played in 4e have simmered down (partly to DM "burnout") and I continued WotBS in 4e where we ended it last time and finished adventure 5; now wie are in the last act of adventure 6 (and would have gotten...

And even if the Monster Builder doesn't have an image export format, you can always take a screenshot and cut/copy the image yourself (if the statblock isn't too long)

Resist kicks in on each damage type affected by the resist. So in the example with X normal (weapon) damage and Y fire damage you would reduce up to 10 points (up to 5 weapon and up to 5 fire). If you only take 1 fire damage and 9 weapon damage you would take no fire damage and 4 weapon damage...
