This is a system I've come up with to see what a given town has for sale. I didn't want to draw up a list of every item the town's magic shops and magic craftsmen have in stock. This system allows a player to seek out a particular item and have a better chance of finding it. I assign the town...

Actually, I don't think that website does what he was doing math for (add d10 for every roll of a 10 on a d10). Explode almost does it, but only finitely and it says the average is 6.11, not 6.[1 repeating].

Another example, "roll" a d2. Heads count as 1, tails as 0. Roll it 100 times. For you to get a 100, you'll have to get 100 heads. The odds of that are really small (1/2^100). Roll a d100. The odds of getting 100 are 1/100.

There are 12 possible outcomes of rolling a d12. If you reroll every time you get a 1 or 2, there are only 10 possible outcomes. Adding 2 to a d10 gives you the same odds. With 3d4 there are 64 possible outcomes. 444 gives you 12, that's 1/64. 443, 434, and 344 give you 11, that's 3/64...

To expand on what's been said: With 1d12b2(or 1d10+2) your odds of rolling any given number 3-12 is 10%. Your average number is 7.5. Your standard deviation is 3.02765. With 3d4 your odds of rolling each number are as follows: 3 1.5625% 4 4.6875% 5 9.375% 6 15.625& 7 18.75% 8 18.75% 9...

I can see two reasons: 1) "save on a 10" sticks in the mind better than "save on 11". D&D likes its numbers, when not based on an ability, to be 1, 2, or a multiple of 5. 2) Statuses on players often aren't fun. Failing a daze save once creates a reasonable challenge to overcome, failing it 3...

Have there been ANY paragon or epic DS adventures published anywhere?

I like the Char Builder because each player builds his character under the same account, and I can go in and reference them as needed. I can answer questions like "Who still only has a +1 weapon?".

You'd need to consider the balance of including utility dailies or not. I think you'd have to exclude them or you would create a balance issue between daily utils and encounter utils. You'd also have to make sure all the characters have the standard AEDU setup. If you have Essentials or...

Histhaven isn't an adventure at all, it's simply a setting.

Yeah, 20 minutes isn't too bad. Once I get moved in I'll probably go up there and check it out. Funny enough, the store shows up on Wizards' site for Magic but not for any DnD events. I ended up giving a short version of the story to the owner of the store in a Facebook PM. She seemed to...

I do DM, but not Encounters. I have actually been considering DMing Encounters, but next month I move to Chapel Hill, NC, where there are zero gaming stores.

Maybe a system where a given session can be combat light or combat heavy, and each class and maybe even each power works in each system. Like maybe in combat light there is no such thing as combat advantage (I'm imagining it works just a little more complicated than the board games), so a power...

Last night I had a terrible Encounters session that I wanted to share. My girlfriend had been wanting to get into DnD, so I figured an Encounters session would be perfect. We go down to my FLGS last night and the DM I had played with last season had a full table, so we played under a DM I...

I make sure to explain to my players that rolling initiative does not mean the RPing is over and it's time to fight. It simply means that we've reached a point in the game when simply talking through our actions is not precise enough. Initiative is rolled whenever we need to get that granular...

I'd love to see a day where more than half of the monsters in any given compendium search used the new math/formatting. .. Also I'd like to see way to filter out the old math monsters.

SURELY WotC knew how the power would effect minions.

Depending on the power source, maybe the gods/archfey/primal spirits/whomever decide that power needs balancing :) .

Yeah, their approach would probably be to add more themes than fix old ones.
