Front Cover: Dungeons & Dragons Spine: D&D 5e. Only a noob is going to not recognize the new books when they come out as 5e (unless WotC makes them look like 4e books, which would be a mistake). So for all the noobs out there, and/or anybody who wasn't aware there *was* a brief 4e the books...

Dual Progression: This is not a rule. Its a guideline tacked on to the rule about not using two PrCs at any level. "... Prestige classes that are essentially class combinations - such as the Arcane Trickster, Mystic Theurge, and Eldritch Knight - should be prohibited if you're using gestalt...

One of my players wants to use an Energy Immunity effect more than once to cover the 5 Energy types. Now immediately the memory of a "rule" came to mind about how if you cast the same spell on yourself more than once, you would just change the effect and that it wouldn't stack with itself...

Hmm, no idea actually. MiC?

Mutants and Masterminds - DC Universe "This is Arkham!!!" The Joker kicks an already defeated hero (to be fair he was beat down by Bane) down the stairs outside the asylum. Ok, I didn't get away with it. It killed the game for about 15 minutes. But I thought it worth mentioning.

I generally use CR +1 or +2, as long as that number is equal to or greater than the HD. Thus I'd call your crazy little aberration somewhere around ECL 5-6 (I can hear the "what what what?!"s already). I also firmly believe that WotC over charges LA by a lot, and in almost all cases (except...

With all due respect, I'm hearing a lot of "math is hard!". I've been playing 3e since it came out. Yes, dispelling is a pain in the rear... but I've never had trouble with Ability Damage/Drain. If you get whacked with X to str, takes a minute to flip to the page in the PHB (or SRD) that has...

"None, I'm a player" is the closest thing to "None, I'm a 3e gamer in a 4e group". PbP doesn't really break down into "sessions". I run a couple of campaign online (myth-weavers.com). A Planescape campaign that is in hiatus (players missing) and another set in Forgotten Realms in the year 709...

On winging it, and general DM advice 1) Stay consistant 2) don't sweat the small stuff 3) Have random names ready in a notebook, nothing kills the moment more than a player asking "so who was that again" and the DM not having a name ready 4) don't be afraid to act like you're more prepared than...

1) mid-high level 3e++ (3.5, Tome, Gestalt, etc)... preferably with access to the planes. Like something starting in FR -> Sigil. 2) something Game of Thrones-esque using d20. Low magic, intrigue based, etc.

I would maybe boil it down to that plus the crit range/multiplier.

Since he died, every year on March 4th I roll a set of stats using 3d6 in order. Its not much, just something I do to remember the man. I rolled the last set between turns during a 4e session.

Janus Nasadra was my favorite 2e PC. Around level 3 he inherited a drow-slaying katana from his mentor and during the next 10 levels he became known by that sword. "Drowbane". My avatar is a drawing (OotS style) by Tarionzcousin depicting a halfling I played in tabletop, "Daevas Bitterleaf, the...

In my FR, Artificers originated in Netheril. In the modern realms the craft (pun!) has been rediscovered in various places, such as Lantan, Halrua, Menzoberranzan, and anywhere Gond has faithful. This also relates to warforged (originated in Netheril, but newer 'forged have been created in...

I was one of the six players. After his 3 20s he rolled a 2, a 3, and I think another 2... which is just as interesting to me (especially considering one of those 2s was against my PC).

PHB: Expeditious Retreat (its basicly lesser haste). PHB II: Celerity (and lesser and greater versions). Psionics have several good effects that you could easily convert to spells. Such as Time Hop, Time Hop - mass, Temporal Acceleration (similiar to Time Stop), etc.

* There is always one guy who thinks he is the party badass, but really isn't. (Example: A Psy-Warrior in the same party as an Artificer, Druid, Cleric, and Wizard). * NPC Children encountered anywhere are highly dangerous individuals. Kids are creepy. * NPC "hotties" encountered anywhere but...

As others have stated, the Soulknife class is weak. Pathetic really. And the 3.0 Soulknife PrC wasn't much better (iirc). The whole thing would be replaced with a couple of custom Psionic Feats. Or "Shape Soulmeld -> Incarnum Weapon"

Simply put: "if the BBEG dies in his sleep, even by such a cunning(?) plan. Then clearly he wasn't actually the BBEG."

The Party's airship. Sources: Stormwrack, Stronghold Builder's Guidebook, Dungeon/Polyhedron #62, Eberron Campaign Setting, Arms & Equipment, Complete Scoundrel (for the com-links, aka Aspect Mirrors). Taken from one player's notes: Costs Mosts items 1/2 off, due to cohort construction...
