    D&D 4E Who's still playing 4E

    5E Beastmaster Ranger was an issue. No one I talked to had an issue with the Hunter Ranger (and the one I made worked fine). However, the rangers in 4E are fun and I enjoyed playing them. 4E had more options, but they were more streamlined and to the point. The 5E Ranger options seem more...

    D&D 4E Help with alchemist concept in 4e

    Agree with Hybrid class Artificer and Wizard. You can also choose the Alchemist feat for the wizard and replace the ritual spellcasting. I have a Bard in my group that has the Alchemist feat and she is constantly making things for the players. It is almost as good as having someone who...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do Vampires Exist?

    I personally like how they did it in 4E where someone turned into a Vampire through a ritual act. Has there been any guidelines for Vampire transformation in 5E?

    D&D 4E Who's still playing 4E

    I love that article for random background generation! Another one that is fun, but not as in depth (good for quick character building) is "Where do I come from?" in Dragon 383, p. 79. The article I was talking about though, was Unearthed Arcana: Personality Traits in Dragon 427, p.31. They...

    They actually covered this ides in a Unearthed Arcana article that is all 4E, but covers the mechanics that led into the 5E version.

    Feudalism for D&D

    Actually, if you want something to use as a base, I would recommend "The Time Travels Guide to Medieval England" by Ian Mortimer. They have a great breakdown of feudal social systems and it is so detailed that you could build and run a whole campaign with it. Recommended to any gamer who likes...

    1,000 GMing Tips

    30) If the part splits, treat the two groups like PC swarm Monsters. The group moves together and each person has one action they can do. Then, you are off to the next group. Do the same with your Monsters and then you have 2 PCs and 2-4 Monsters to deal with instead of a mess load.

    D&D 4E Three general 4e mechanics questions.

    I did. I also realized that no one answered the question either. Figured I would give 4E a solid in case someone happens to run into this like I did.

    D&D 4E Three general 4e mechanics questions.

    Player's Handbook 1, p. 276: (In Attack Results box, first column) "Automatic Hit: If you roll a natural 20 (the die shows a 20), your attack automatically hits." Save Throws are on p. 279 in Player's Handbook 1. According to the rules, "if you are under a persistent effect or condition that...

    D&D 4E 4e ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I have to double check to see, but I think he has the Primal Swarm class feature. My main question was whether two swarms attacking each other would cause only half damage to each other or would the two abilities cancel out because they are engrossed into each other, which got answered.

    D&D 4E 4e ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Yes, I am talking about Wild Shape. And come to think about it, he probably should have turned into a medium sized spider, not a medium size swarm of spiders....... So in general, two swarms attacking each other would cause half damage to each other. Got it. I was just looking for...

    D&D 4E 4e ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Question: Our party recently went up against a swarm of scarabs. In response, our Druid turned into a swarm of spiders and attacked the swarm of scarabs. In this case, do both parties receive half damage or do they cancel out the swarm property and receive full damage?

    D&D 4E Who's still playing 4E

    Speaking of the Adventure Tools, I remember it working fine when I had Windows XP (glitchy, but it worked), but once I upgraded my OS, it stopped working. I have Windows 10 now and it will come up to the load box with the dragon, but the "Launch Adventure Tools" button will not highlight, so I...

    Living Forgotten Realms updated and adventure archive

    I have been diving into these for a bit and I am loving them! My only complaint is that not all of them have been released and some of the adventures (okay, a good portion of them) were archived on the Wizards Forum, which no longer exist. Any chance they might reset them back to the website...
