    Purple Index Cards: On-the-Fly Setting and Plot Collaboration

    Oh, cool! That sounds like the format surfarcher used for his document upthread. If you can come up with a Word or OpenOffice format that works this way, I'd love to see it! (Might tinker with it myself... columns maybe?) That's a big reason I included editable documents instead of just a...

    Essentials Magic Missile

    Ah, yeah, good point. Still, 4 missiles/round would have been fun too ^.^

    Essentials Magic Missile

    Aw, yeah, that new development is a disappointment. I was all excited about 6 missiles/round with Wizard's Fury!

    Redone Black Dragon from GenCon

    Bring it, I say. Dragons being frickin' scary and dangerous, not to be messed with? I vote YES. Come prepared with healing and acid resistance, and act swiftly to make that Heal check if you can, or go down sizzling!

    Porting FATE Aspects into 4th Edition

    I've tried it, but with weak success. I have one player who's really into the concept as a whole, another who reaches for Aspects when he needs another +2 but seldom comes up with a good fit, a couple who've come up with Aspects for their characters but have barely used them, and one who hasn't...

    Purple Index Cards: On-the-Fly Setting and Plot Collaboration

    I think the necromancy is justified here: I've created a set of documents with all the cards to date that can be printed directly onto 3x5 index cards! Word 2007 OpenOffice.org PDF New since last: - No more Achievements. They never saw much use at my table, and I didn't have enough of them to...

    D&D 4E What is some of the best 3PP stuff for 4e?

    Nosfecatu Publishing (RPGNow.com - Nosfecatu Publishing - - The leading source for indie RPGs) is a tiny outfit with just a couple titles so far, but their stuff represents a mythological tradition--Filipino folklore--that you barely ever see in games, and is generally quite well put together...

    More Essentials teasers

    That all sounds fantastic. Particularly pleased by the Battle Guardian feature--now nobody can complain that the Knight isn't sticky! In fact he's stickier in his way than the PHB Fighter, who has to attack to get Combat Challenge up and running ^.^

    How 4th edition PCs scale - the actual numbers

    Ooh, that's pretty cool. Thanks! If you're including all the math-fix feats, should Robust Defenses replace Paragon Defenses at Epic, changing that row to +2 at 21?

    How 4th edition PCs scale - the actual numbers

    Just noticed something here when playing with this for how to address the issue in my own game: even "dump stat" NADs should get +1 from ability score at level 21. The +1 to all ability scores from Paragon and the +1 to them from Epic add up to a shift of 1 bonus.

    Did Monster Builder not update yet?

    Yeah, I do appreciate having the how-to, just in case. ^.^ If you check the discussion page on the DnD4eCM wiki, though, there are at least two people who have stepped up to fill in for the original developer, so hopefully it'll get patched up soon. Props to Mortaneus for making the source code...

    Did Monster Builder not update yet?

    Oog, that's a lot of work compared to the two-step copy to RTF, paste into Statblock Library process. I'll hold out for an update of the program.

    Did Monster Builder not update yet?

    I'm holding out for http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/DnD4eCM to get updated to use the new statblock format, but I'm psyched about this. I expect some of the other odd bugs will take another month's update to get ironed out, but as long as there's at least one reliable workflow that gets all the...

    Is there a DM tool for organizing my thoughts?

    Masterplan boasts features like this. It's got learning curve/usability issues, but might be what you're looking for.

    Anyone else have problems with the DDI tools?

    There are definitely some things that make me slap my forehead about the DDI tools. For example, the fact that apparently each power is saved to the character not by a unique ID, but by name, leading to such issues as the Master's Wand of Magic Missile's encounter power overwriting a character's...

    Small annoyances that could / should be finally fixed with the Essentials

    Have you discussed the possibility of "reskinning" with your DM? In my own game, most Superior Weapon Proficiencies are specialized training with an existing type of weapon. E.g. when the Paladin with Superior Weapon Proficiency: Executioner's Axe picks up a greataxe, he wields it using his...

    July Rules Update DMG: Errata needed?

    I'm not sure which table you're referring to (WotC's, Jhaelen's, or Asmor's), but keterys's post (http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-discussion/281219-july-rules-update-dungeon-masters-guide-errata-needed.html#post5237269) has the guideline I use.

    Essentials Cleric

    Hasn't it been said repeatedly that the red box goes up to level 3? I thought it was just the sample adventure that only spanned levels 1-2. The misquotes and clarifications on all of this are starting to make my head hurt...

    Do you want updated core books?

    I.e., the Monster Vault? Like the Rules Compendium?

    July Rules Update DMG: Errata needed?

    Cool! Looks like you decided to deviate some from the official table, but since it's based on the official math, it all works out. Thanks! EDIT: Oh, duh. You stated that you wanted to use more dice types. I overlooked that in my excitement for levels 31+ :P
