    D&D 4E What was Paizo thinking? 3.75 the 4E clone?

    Hear hear!

    I've solved Power Attack!

    For an at-will power I really like that drawback of opp attack on a miss. For an encounter/daily I like the miss effect of 'pushback'. I don't really feel like this is 'power attack' anymore though. That name has too much baggage.

    I think Barbarians should be strikers, or maybe even controllers

    I really like the barbarian as controller idea. Instead of 'wizard with different fluff', it's 'controller with totally different tactics'. Plus, how cool would it be to have a barbarian with a fear howl and the ability to throw scenery to change the terrain or cause area damage?

    Room Sizes...

    I think your formula is a bit wonky. Unless the characters are only moving in one dimension. Personally, I think a good formula would be something like: (Highest speed of all figures on map)^2 + (sum of all speeds) + (sum of all spaces). That should scale pretty well for any size combat, I...

    D&D 4E Exalted 4e

    If they use adamant skin technique they don't parry it. They don't have to even be aware of it. They just soak it up, look at the sky and say, what now? What NOW?!?

    D&D 4E 4e With No Casters?

    Wow, that is some serious puddleglummery! Who cares if they are called something else? It seems to me that the difference between a high-magic and low-magic game is the special effects, not the mechanics. If the martial leader can rally his troops to a second wind in the same way that the...

    D&D 4E Non-Euclidean Geometry in 4E?

    I *think* that those battleboards are actually just flattened hexes. They should work exactly the same as a hex grid, but I also think they are easier on the eyes than hexes. Also... whoever posted that earlier guide on how to draw on hexes... that was pretty clever. I like it. I think it might...

    Hideous Blow Question

    As far as I understand, it doesn't include the attack in the action required to charge it up. You charge your weapon beforehand and then unleash it when you hit.

    Making big fights with weak monsters fun.

    Well, this is a slightly different sort of encounter... but I'm hoping it will be fun. Have the weak monsters (zombies in your case, lizardmen in mine) exist only to make it hard for the PCs to get to and slay the main combatant (in your case this could be some kind evil cleric or powerful...

    Three char level 8 group - How would you do it?

    Cleric (for silence) Wizard (for dimension door and invisibility) Rogue (for even better coup de gras) This party doesn't fight fair. They run away until you sleep. Then they slit your throats with pick axes (for the x4)!

    Underwater Breath Weapons

    Should there be any change in effect for dragon breath weapons underwater? (Fire seems obvious). What about the green dragon's cone of corrosive gas? How would you describe the effects of these things underwater?

    Weapons with an Arabian/Calimshan flavour

    Pretty sure javelins are appropriate as well.

    Black pudding in a pit

    Can you qualify that response? If the PC isn't grappled it can climb out. If it has freedom of movement, it can't even BE grappled. Then again, I'm thinking of coupling this little trap with a dispelling screen to hopefully end any freedom of movement, levitate, or flight spells.

    Average of exploding dice?

    I think the suggestion was... 1 2 3 4 5 6+0 6+1 6+2 6+3 6+4 6+5+0 etc.

    Black pudding in a pit

    Erm, this seems to be the crux of the issue. What happens when you are forced to end your turn in the same square as a monster composed of corrosive acid?

    Black pudding in a pit

    Let's say you've got a 15x15 pit. At the bottom is a black pudding. Player falls (or is pushed) into the pit. Does the pudding get an AoO? Is the player's armor automatically exposed to the acid effect?

    Water elemental "drench" and fireball

    Drench (Ex): The elemental’s touch puts out torches, campfires, exposed lanterns, and other open flames of nonmagical origin if these are of Large size or smaller. The creature can dispel magical fire it touches as dispel magic (caster level equals elemental’s HD). If a fireball or scorching...

    Help me defend my goblin's lair

    Just had a particularly evil idea. Let there be a small tunnel that the pc's might choose to climb down. The tunnel gradually slopes more and more down until at some point it becomes vertical. The tunnel doesn't actually go anywhere useful. When the pcs decide to turn around, have some goblins...

    D&D is so METAL

    Umm.. how about Marcy Playground's "Cloak of Elvenkind"? Aww, yeah... I know, it's not metal. *shamed*

    D&D is so METAL

    I highly recommend Korgoth of Barbaria. It is so metal d&d. I'm not sure where one could find it, since only a pilot was aired on Adult Swim. For those inclined to look, it's probably floating around on the internets somewhere.
