    D&D 4E New Take on the 4E Druid...

    Yes! That would be the perfect combination for me. Exactly how I envision a druid.

    Best PDF making tool. (Campaign Handouts)

    I use PDF-XChange 4.0 Lite. You just print to it, similar to PDFCreator. Works perfectly.

    Rescue at Rivenroar

    Yes, but there are annoying blanks in the descriptions. The Goblin Blackblades have a ranged attack without any actual range. The Tactics say that the second blackblade will use it against a target 12 squares away, so I guess it's at least Range 12. That's not bad for a thrown weapon. The...

    D&D 4E Another shot at a 4e monk

    This is looking really good, Vordimir. Have you gotten any further with it?

    Collected Core Handbook Errata

    You are misinformed about how crit damage works. Everything is maximized except any dice rolled due to the hit being a crit. This has been clarified more than once.

    A call to would-be 4E publishers (if it wasn’t for the GSL).

    Except that Monte didn't include that chapter (with "Breather") in his OGC. Not that much of BoXM is actually OGC. Go figure.

    Multiple Critical Hits?

    This. You roll one attack roll against each target. That roll decides miss, hit or crit against that target.

    A couple of quick rule questions.

    It says "if". It's not an automatic thing. If the Wizard/Warlock merely takes damage, the spell will still go off.

    A couple of quick rule questions.

    What are you talking about? Where did you find that rule?

    Do all wizards have all cantrips at 1st level?

    Yes. No. Melee basic attack only (PHB 287). No. Melee basic attack only (PHB 290).

    Collected Core Handbook Errata

    You are both right and wrong. Close attacks don't provoke OAs, Ranged ones do. The shape of an AoE attack has nothing to do with it.

    Proper location for discussions re: New License

    Now that title really doesn't make any sense at all. Why not let GSL kill OGF-d20-L and take it's stuff?

    Proper location for discussions re: New License

    I second the motion to move all GSL threads out of OGF-L. The GSL is not an Open Gaming License, so it should not be discussed here.

    The same tired old song...

    What's up w/ DDI?

    Dude, the Altair 8800 predates the TRS80 with at least two years. Personally, I think it's a Mark-8. :D (And I would know - I actually built one back in '74)

    D&D 4E Official Unofficial 4E Rules FAQ

    Yes, its pretty clear - you maximize all the damage you would do with the attack had it not been a crit and then you roll for the extra you get because it's a crit. So, Sneak Attack, Hunter's Quarry, Warlock's Curse, all get maximized. Like the CSR said, it's that simple.

    Calculating Damage

    This! Trying to turn the simple adding up of damage into a multi-step process to figure out when to apply the MAX() function, is quite un-neccessary. It's not a process. Crit? You get maximum payoff from your attack, and then maybe some random extra. Simple.

    A discussion of Keith Baker's post regarding the Skill Challenge system

    And again someone refuses to read the thread and understand the math. *sigh*

    What happens with reliable multi-target powers?

    Let me chime in on the side of Zorai here. The Rules as Written clearly state that the power is not expended if you miss when using it. Not miss entirely, only miss. Seven hits, one miss, not expended. Any other reading is just illogical. Of course, the result of this is highly broken, so they...

    A discussion of Keith Baker's post regarding the Skill Challenge system

    I looked at my downloaded copy of "Escape from Sembia" and all the DCs for Encounter 2 (the chase) are at 12. There is nothing about choosing easier (?) or harder challenges. There are also a lot of secondary effects and extra skill checks in there, which makes it rather interesting. As a...
