    I made my first little new monster...

    I'd like feedback, please. Mainly, I want to know if this critter is relatively "legit" as a level 3 minion, or what changes you'd make. Fey Owl Level 3 Minion Small Fey Beast XP: 38 Initiative: +9 Senses: Perception +10; darkvision HP: 1; a missed attack never...

    Solo Swarms?

    Is there a particular reason why you couldn't make a solo swarm monster, or why it would be a bad idea? Has anyone tried it in a live game yet? Discuss.

    So, how are the Realms doing?

    I lost interest in the Forgotten Realms somewhere around 10 years ago, but I'd been a big fan of it before that. When I started hearing some intriguing things about the new 4E Realms, it piqued my interest again, and I figured I'd buy the new setting. Even though I actually have no plans at...

    More D&D-scale poster maps?

    I'm looking to find a few additional full-size, scaled for D&D miniature battles, gridded, nice-looking, color fantasy poster maps to use for my game. Basically, like the ones included in the H1-H3 adventures, or the DDM starter pack, or the Fantastic Locations products. Those, OR modular...

    The I'm not jealous of Gen Con attendees AT ALL thread

    While those scrubs sit around in some sweaty convention hall watching 14-year-olds dressed up like Drizzt argue over the relative merits of Naruto versus InuYasha, I'll be having the REAL fun right here at home! I get to floss my dogs' teeth. ALL three of 'em. Eat it, suckers.

    D&D needs to grow up

    Lies! Everyone knows that babies burst forth from their mothers' veiled wombs securely swaddled in abayas! To even suggest that an innocent child would do something so morally reprehensible as being naked is grievously offensive, sir!

    Literal reading vs common sense - which should take precedence?

    Well they did, but then PETA got involved, and lawyers, and now I'm no longer allowed to have pets....

    Minimum Damage?

    PHB page 58: Half Damage: When you calculate half damage, remember to apply the rule about rounding down (page 11). If a damage roll produces a result of 1, half of that damage is 0.

    Glass jaw of PC defenses

    It seems to me that the same principle works in the reverse, to the PCs favor, as well. The Tarrasque's Will defense is *ELEVEN* points lower than its AC, for example.

    Do you have these D&D Minis? Rate 'em for me! Pictures welcome!

    Yeah, I think that Ragnara mini is one of the coolest PC figures in the whole DDM line.

    New and Improved 4e PHB Index released!

    Awesome, thanks!

    How is FR changing with 4E?

    Two words: Fallout Realms. Seriously, I won't be at all surprised if the first words of the Introduction in the new Campaign Guide are "War. War never changes."

    DDI for $7.95

    I'll be paying it, with no reservations. I think the price is reasonable for the content offered.

    Lasting frost, wintertouched, frost weapon

    None of the arguments in this thread have convinced me that there is any reason for a rogue not to take these feats and a frost dagger.

    New Way to One-Shot Orcus

    Oh. Okay. Cool then.

    Which saving throw thwarts death?

    THAC0 was . . . no good. I think I liked it better when we had a list of different ACs across your character sheet and you wrote the number you needed to roll to hit that AC in a box beneath each one. Heh. That, and the super-secret hidden saving throw chart which was impossible to find in...

    New Way to One-Shot Orcus

    But the property as written specifically makes vorpal weapons a lot better, and I imagine that was at least part of the aim. Using those other solutions wouldn't help vorpals at all.

    Fool's opportunity

    I'd say it just takes the direct damage that its melee basic attack normally deals, and no additional effects.

    Swordmage: Class creep too fast?

    The class looks fun, and cool, but not especially overpowered thus far. I don't foresee a massive rise in Fighter unemployment figures any time soon.
