  1. The Little Raven

    What other Essentialized classes do you want?

    I could see that. Or Int/Dex. I could also see them being Martial/Arcane, and mixing up MBAs (with enhancements) and magical powers. I could see them getting Dailies to add to the feel of a fighter-type with extra arcane prowess on top of that.

    Eberron: Any new material published?

    Not quite. In 2011, FR is getting the Neverwinter Campaign Guide (which includes a Bladesinger class), while Eberron is still relegated to DDI-only support. I wouldn't be surprised if late 2011 or 2012 saw something for Eberron, like a Sharn or Xendrik Campaign Guide.

    Assassin Feedback

    Poisoner's Kit No price is listed for the poisoner's kit and, since other kits vary in price significantly, you can't really extrapolate how much it would cost. Also, there is a single mention of an assassin's kit, which I assume is just a typo and means poisoner's kit (since it's saying you...

    D&D 4E 4E Essentials Dungeon Tiles Master Set The Dungeon tile photos

    There are a few size changes and different front-back, but otherwise, almost all graphics are already represented in previous sets. Water container with a monster statue on the opposite side. Not new. Size changes to the fire swirl/pit, with generic floor tiles on the back. Size change...

    My first thoughts after reading the Essentials

    It should be made clear that not all situations use the scaling-by-level DC, with Climb being a particularly noteworthy case. A ladder is still DC 0 and a rope is DC 10, no matter what level you are. And the Rules Compendium makes clear that the DC is based on the level of the challenge, not...

    Graveborn - What are they?

    Can you provide more info on the actual quote, like a page number and location? I suspect it might have been an alternate term for shadowborn, which are natural mortals who are born/live in the Shadowfell.

    D&D 4E 4E Essentials Dungeon Tiles Master Set The Dungeon tile photos

    As someone who owns every single Dungeon Tiles set to date, I can confirm that all of these are reprints from previous sets. Thanks a ton, thalmin! My OCD need to own all the Dungeon Tiles almost made me buy this, and I'm glad it didn't since I have at least 2 copies of all these tiles.

    Unearthed Arcana!

    Yes, there is. Because everything programming related is easier said by people on forums than actually done by people who write code.

    What does your ENWorld name mean?

    My original ENWorld handle, Mourn, was the name of a Vampire: The Dark Ages character I played in high school. My current one, TLR, is because my first name (Brendan) is Gaelic for "little raven."

    Kobold Quarterly is Still Awesome

    Good ol' Razz. Fighting the good fight. Good to see the magazine is chugging along steadily. $24 a year for roughly 400 pages of content, of which maybe 50% is usable out of the box for 4e (not even addressing any mechanical balance issues that may crop up). Not really my thing, but I'm glad...

    Themes: What's the Catch?

    This appears to be the case to me. And it's fairly common that one person will argue a point against a thread full of people, based on the fact that their definition of the term does not match the others. Wikipedia has the term as I've always used it, from back in my days of video game...

    Database of Dungeon Tiles?

    I second the Dungeon Tile group on Yahoo. I use their sets and Pymapper, a DT program, to plan my encounters, then I take poster tack ("Monkey Snot," Scrib) and affix them to black poster board (22"x30"). If I need a larger area, I use multiple poster boards. This has really sped up use of...

    DM Rewards

    There are two waves of address-update rewards: June and August. The June people updated their contact information in the first 4-5 months of the year, and the August people updated during June or early July. A lot of people tend to sign up for the second wave after the first wave has gotten...

    Dungeon Tiles Master Set and other Essentials, I got a look

    Are you 100% certain on the fact that some of the tiles are brand new?

    How to make a game harder?

    Here's a few things that increase the difficulty... - Use MM3/DSCC design numbers and philosophy. The monsters all hit harder (even if some of them hit less often, like soldiers), are easier to hit, and have cool effects in place of resistances (like dealing damage right back when you hit them...

    Healing Potions and Strongheart Tatoo

    I'd say yes. You have to spend a healing surge to benefit from the potion.

    Monk Unarmed Strike

    I think it needs clarification, but my ruling on the matter would be that if you are using a ki focus (as opposed to a magic weapon), then you are using the unarmed strike as the delivery of those powers, and would gain the bonus. However, by RAW, this is something that needs to be clarified...

    Themes: What's the Catch?

    D&D in Target?!?!

    I gotta step in here and second this suggestion. When I was a child, I was a slow reader, and fell behind the rest of my 3rd grade class in reading by the end of my first semester. It was at that point my teacher introduced me to the Book of Three, and by the end of the school year, I was well...

    Monk Unarmed Strike

    No, it's not really debatable. Being a weapon with which the monk is proficient means the monk unarmed strike can be used as an implement. It just offers no bonuses to such, thus the reason you would use a ki focus or a magic weapon. It applies to OAs and basic melee attacks granted by...
