    DDI Character Generator Issues

    You have to equip the items. Even them some of the item bonuses don't show up correctly. In the Shop interface towards the bottom right find the tab that lets you assign items to body slots and equip the items to see AC/defenses/etc. update.

    D&D 4E Where can I find a good 4e character builder program?

    As a non-standard anarchist I have to take exception to this one :p. I don't have a problem with the quality of the work WotC has done of late. I've bought, or received as a gift, every D&D 4e hardcover published thus far, and I like the majority of what I've seen. I also have a subscription...

    Level 3 PCs vs. Level 8 Monster?

    Hey, Rel, are there any rules for lava? I can't seem to find any? :)

    Houston Game Club?

    I'm sorry I missed you guys. I was incommunicado since Friday afternoon. I had a blast! I played the VLARP on Friday night. Firefly LARP on Saturday. Shadows Over Camelot on Sunday. Very good Con from my view. Maybe we can hook up at ApolloCon later this year?

    RIP Veteran's Armor (2008-2009)

    :-S Maybe I'm of subpar intelligence and/or my grasp of the relative value of daily powers compared to action points is skewed. Characters can use action points to get extra actions. My understanding of game theory is that the ability to gain extra actions is usually the strongest (and...

    Movement question, some opinions.

    Hm, we had EXACTLY this situation in our last game. When we rolled initiative at the start of an encounter the dwarf fighter's miniature was in a hallway adjacent to a window on the second floor of a building. The bad guys were on the roof of the single storey building next door. A one square...

    Ozark - Dothan - Troy - Enterprise, AL

    Dead zone? Man, you are not kidding! That is dead-center of the Bible belt. I was born in Dothan. I haven't lived there in over 20 years, but I can recall summer trips to the grandparents' and not being able to find gaming gear even at Waldenbooks in the big mall. So, I'm probably of no...

    RAW double jump

    I'll be the dissenting voice here. Eladrin move action 1: running high jump of one or more squares, but less than the necessary six squares to clear the goal. Eladrin move action 2: teleport the remaining distance. This action begins immediately while the Eladrin is in the air allowing the...

    Leaders, which is the most interesting?

    If you're into teamwork, not being the star and making everyone else better, Warlord ROCKS! He can dish out damage in his own right if built correctly, but he really shines at giving other people incredible bonuses to hit and damage that make the whole party far more successful. Healing and...

    Battlefield archer question?

    Not to belabor the point too much, I agree with Kordeth. I would go further and say that each time you use a minor action to designate a quarry the newly designated quarry must be the closest enemy at that time. So, the ranger (battlefield archer) becomes a truly mobile fighter. Each turn he...

    D&D Metal

    This thread is full of awesome. My Rhapsody account is going to get hammered today, and I'm going to create a new user channel from the bands listed here. Thanks! Brent (old fart that doesn't know this new-fangled D&D metal)

    Houston Game Club?

    Owl Con It's that time of year again . . . who's going to OwlCon? Anyone want to hook up to meet new locals? I'm running Shadows Over Camelot game on Saturday morning and playing in the VLARP game Friday night. Otherwise my schedule is wide open and I plan to be there all three days...

    Campaign Styles : Plot-driven versus Character-driven

    This. And more specifically, I'm running the H1-3, P1-3, E1-3 series of adventures from WotC. Much of the action is driven by the "plot" of those specific modules, but I don't run them straight out of the book. I've done my best to modify hooks and such to get the characters more directly...

    Misuse of the save mechanics in the MM to reintroduce save or die effects

    Sounds like you are exactly describing the "slow burn" effect that mearls talks about here. The threat of being turned to stone is effective, exciting and fun. The reality of a PC being turned to stone and the "unfun" of dealing with that aftermath takes away from a particular (preferred my...

    We need a unified optional game system or this hobby's gonna die

    How exactly does the fact that my game group chooses to play D&D only hurt anyone? I've played other games over the years, but I always come back to D&D. I have played nothing with anything approaching the consistency or time investment that I put into D&D. (Hm, ok, not entirely true . . . I...

    Thunderspire Labyrinth

    I got this adventure on Wednesday. I have read most of it cover to cover with a bit of skipping around. It looks great. It's four linked "adventures" in a massive underground complex with a "town" inside the complex. There are some neat NPCs and plenty of room for the DM to make adjustments...
