I was considering offering to give it a read, but then I saw that the Spanish-language PDF is 222 pages. Whew. That's a lot of proofreading!

Yeah, I think this is pretty much the point of this power. I suppose you could fluff it as the warlord pointing so precisely that the rogue can aim a little better.

I got it. I'm not that worried about it. Yes, my house rule on dominated can be worse for PCs that might have a way to save against the effect before their turn, such as a warden or another PC with a free beginning of turn save (such as with Superior Will). I'm okay with that. I prefer for...

I answered yes before reading the thread. I think it's fine (and in many cases helpful) for people to say what they do like AND what they don't like. I don't think it's fine for people to criticize ONE ANOTHER for having different preferences. Fine: "I don't like healing surges." Fine: "I...

I tend to prefer PDFs to begin with, so I most likely wouldn't bother paying for a hard copy of the beta rules. That said, if it were pretty cheap, it might be useful to pass around the table among my players as we play test.

Well, the good news if you want exploration is that you're running one of the rare official 4e adventures that actually includes exploration. The Cairn of the Winter King is a small dungeon crawl. The party gets to explore it as they see fit. They encounter obstacles that can only be overcome by...

Here's my suggestion of what you can say (plugging in names and numbers as appropriate): Hi NewGuy! I know you wanted to handle your character on your own, but I wanted to point something out that you might not have noticed. Some of your powers use Wisdom, which is a really high stat for you...

For what it's worth, the rules address the questions of free actions for dominated creatures as well as dropping prone. First, dropping prone is a minor action in Fourth Edition, not a free action. Dropping an OBJECT is a free action, yes, but a belly flop is a minor. Second, the rules for the...

I run my games online and in-person using MapTool. Online is obvious; in-person, I use a projector to put the map on the table. I'm a big evangelist for this approach, but I know you want to go with printing. I do recommend MapTool for an easy-to-use map-drawing program, assuming we're talking...

It's still a "save ends" for me, so if someone gets an extra save from an ally or from being a warden, they can still shake it off. However, that extra attack from being dominated does still hit right away, which I'm totally okay with. After all, the dominator didn't deal any damage - the only...

Sorry, I think I was unclear. My change to dominate makes the condition LESS severe. The dominated character immediately makes an attack against an ally. However, when that character's regular turn comes around, THEY CHOOSE THEIR OWN ACTION. They're just dazed (save ends). The character still...

First, let me say that I totally agree with your advice to make this decision based on role playing the bad guy. Who would the enemy perceive as being the most hated, or the most lethal to dominate? Don't make it a meta decision based on your knowledge of the characters; make it based on what...

Now that I've gotten it all figured out, I've written a glowing review of this app on my blog. Great stuff, divide0!

I'd go with the thief or the monk. Also, if it were at my table and I had a monster dominate a thief, I would totally allow the thief to sneak attack his allies, no matter what the rules say. Yay for Rule Zero! By the way, I've been playing around with modifications to Dominated, and I had a...

Edit: My original post was totally wrong. It looks like everything is working properly in Firefox 10, though not 3.6.26. Yay!

<slaps forehead> Yup, that does it. Thank you! This does create one other problem for me. With the background now being printed, the skills that are trained are now showing up as solid black diamonds, with the value of the skill check blacked out. Any idea what I should do about this one?

I tried making use of this tool today to print out my wife's character sheet, and I had some odd results. When I try the app in Chrome, it actually looks beautiful on the screen, but it prints out oddly. Rather than having the boxes formatted in nice tables as they appear on the screen, they...

This is very nice! I'm a big fan of one-page character sheets, and this delivers! Question: Am I right in saying that the actual ability scores do not appear? I see the modifiers, but not the scores. Not a complaint, just a question. Suggestion: If you need to save space, I don't personally...

I had heard such great things about the Slaying Stone, too, so I got it last month. I've read most of it now, and it seems pretty good to me. It is indeed non-linear, and I love some of the touches like the backgrounds, the "future adventures" stuff and the treasure parcels in the last few...

Dangit, you're asking too soon. I'm working on exactly this - a nice little intro adventure, with all of the cliches of D&D. It's a bunch of notes written on scrap paper, but not turned into an actual adventure yet. That said, I do have two other suggestions. I've been told that the adventure...
