For that matter, if it was outside a combat encounter and there was no real danger or hurry, why not just let the cleric climb the rope with a wink and a nod in the first place?

Sorry, I missed this post earlier... Alright... I made a flippant mistake, but look at it from the view of a casual fan. I've watched all the shows from beginning to end, and the movie as well. Now, while a bit of exposition in the movie explains about a big star system with "dozens of...

To a certain degree, yes... A lot of hard sci-fi has a lot of pseudo-science in it. Primarily because it's trying to predict fictional future science based on current science. Often, because most sci-fi authors aren't professional scientists, the predicted science is purposefully or...

Actually, I'd contend the opposite. Watch the show... The show happens to take place in space, with spaceships and faster-than-light travel and all that entails, but there's really not a whole of of the pseudo-scientific techno-speak that you get with harder sci-fi settings. The show is more...

Well, let's be honest... Based on past experience, why should they think any differently?

Check out this thread...

I gotcha... It's not so much that the ruleset or roleplaying mindset would too difficult, but that it's simply too much effort to get into properly for the sake of a single adventure. I can grok that.

I'm not certain I follow your reasoning, here... What makes you think that you're not up to the "standards" of DMing AD&D or that your players aren't up to playing it? The thing to remember about the original is that there's not a whole lot of combat. It's mostly mind-bender tricks and traps...

Don't forget, though, that when you arrive on the opposite side of the earth, you would also be suddenly traveling westward at something like a 2000 mph (assuming you tried this feat near the equator).

My next campaign, set in the Dark Sun Campaign Setting, will feature the new 4E Tomb of Horrors once the characters reach paragon levels. At some point as an innocuous "prequel" that happens long before the world is devastated, I'm going to run my players through the original adventure, using...

It depends on what you get... Anything made of particle board "laminate" is garbage. IKEA, however, has quite a few lines of furniture made from real, solid wood (usually pine), which will last a surprisingly long time. We've got a television stand, a dinner table (with chairs), and a...

I always liked the idea of espionage, but practice it was just more trouble than it was worth.

I get the impression that you should be able to save your policy choices until you unlock the later policy trees. I can't seem to figure how to do it, though... I get the little "Choose Policy" button, and I can't end my turn until I pick a policy. Does anyone know if it can be done, and if...

No... invisible is correct. If you've successfully made the Perception check to find the invisible target's location, then they are no longer hidden but they are still invisible. Besides, I purposefully put the scare quotes there to denote the fact that the target simply can't be seen -- due...

In other words, you've made your Perception check and you beat the enemy's Stealth check by enough (by 10 or more) to know the exact square the "invisible" creature is standing in... (See the sidebar "Targetting What You Can't See" on PHB page 281) on page Then you can target that square, make...

You need to watch more X-Files.

At the time, I ruled it couldn't be done, because it made more sense and we didn't have time to look up the relevant rules. However, upon closer inspection... ...it certainly looks like it'd work, by the rules.

Please, give me your collective opinions... An Elf uses a power to summon some helpful creature. During the course of the ensuing battle, the summoned creature misses with an attack against an enemy. Can the Elf use his Elven Accuracy racial power to reroll the summoned creature's attack roll?
