    Rule Option: Banshee Wail

    In previous versions of Dungeons and Dragons the wail of a banshee was deadly. In 4e (following the "no save or die" unwritten rule) it's not so. I don't like that. Proposed banshee wail power (for level 12 controller): Standard Action Banshee Wail (fear, necrotic) Encounter Attack: close...

    D&D Blog - Kings and Castles

    Like everyone so far: it's a cool option, and I would like to see rules for how to gain followers, how many you get, etc., but these rules are an option, not "the way the game works" at high level.

    Should Organized Play Influence The Rules?

    Sure, but in a game where thousands of potential players may interact with hundreds of potential DMs it's a good idea to have a firm idea of the power scale and how advancement/character continuity works. Look at the large scale LARPs out there. They have rules for what you can create, how fast...

    Should Organized Play Influence The Rules?

    Expected wealth by level Magic item distribution Setting specific limits on race, class, etc. Which modules are always "in play" and which ones are not? Death, dying and recovery from such

    Should Organized Play Influence The Rules?

    Other: give me a base game that does what D&D does. Provide a "organized play" module to handle book keeping and other necessities of OP.

    When do you boot a player

    When to boot: 1. Violence (or serious threats of) - out immediately with zero chance of returning 2. Crude, obnoxious, unpleasant behavior (above and beyond our normal level of crudity) - several warnings, but you can't be a constant :):):):):):):) - eventually you're gone 3. Playstyle...

    Divided gaming group - looking for help.

    LOL. Half this board's posts wouldn't be here if this was the case. :) I'm a 4ron. I think it's much easier to prepare and run than any 3.x flavor of D&D could possibly be. I fully recognize and acknowledge the many shortcomings of D&D 4e, but accept them for the fact that I can prep a 4 hour...

    Pondering RE: Monte Cook / Long-term roadmaps for both Wizards and Paizo

    I didn't say it's going away. I said it's going to be a cottage industry or one supported by significant (probably MMO) online subscription content/services.

    Pondering RE: Monte Cook / Long-term roadmaps for both Wizards and Paizo

    I would be stunned to learn that Paizo has even 20,000 annual subscribers to their Adventure Path.

    Pondering RE: Monte Cook / Long-term roadmaps for both Wizards and Paizo

    Yeah, I think monthly revenue for all of the tabletop RPG industry could be as low as $1 million.

    Pondering RE: Monte Cook / Long-term roadmaps for both Wizards and Paizo

    D&D 5e is coming. Two years or less from now is my prediction. If you complain about the "video game" or "board game" aspects of D&D 4e, I think you're going to be very disappointed with 5e. There will absolutely be a near mandatory subscription model of some sort to "keep up with the changes."...

    Minor Action (save ends)?

    My understanding of this type of text: Target gets a save at end of each of its turns. If save successful then caster cannot sustain with a minor action. Also: welcome to posting on ENWorld.

    Feat Taxes, or, It's That Time of the Week Again

    I gotta go with MrMyth on this one. Since the introduction of the Expertise feat I've seen doznes of characters in our home game. I can't recall a single one that didn't have Expertise by 6th level.

    Math fixes; can you clarify?

    The gist of it is that all PC attack roll modifiers and defenses should scale +1/level over 30 levels. Without expertise and improved defenses and such it doesn't happen unless you take into account "specials" that are limited by race, class or some such other choice. Attack bonus: +1/2 levels...

    I'm going to India on a business trip. I buy dice whenever I travel. I want to buy some dice in India. I will visit the cities of New Delhi, Pune, and Bangalore. Does anyone here live in India or visit India often enough to direct me to a FLGS there?
