Misc issues so far. Took me a while to figure out how to select my human stat bonus. Probably my fault there... When selecting feats if I collapse a category it comes back uncollapsed on the next feat. It greys out after every data entry. That's too slow... It just crashed when buying a...

A bit slow, and I don't know that I like waiting on "vecna.wizards.com" but maybe that's me. So far, so good (other than the slow part).

I believe there was such a rule (negating damage negates effect) in 3.x. That may be where the confusion is coming from.

Sounds like I'm missing something. If I had an area attack that said on a hit take a secondary attack against that same target then I'd make a secondary attack against each and every target I hit with the primary attack yes? If so, how is Battle Pyres different? If not, why not?

The Warpriest Prestige Path (PHB) has a power called "Battle Pyres". I've always been confused about how it works and was wondering if there has been any clarification from WotC and what others think. It is a close-burst 5 where the "hit" line includes a secondary attack. Does that secondary...

Yeah, but still pretty different. The at wills are fairly similar, though with enough differences to be interesting. The encounter powers are actually very different--just one power and very simple at that. Plus it only works on the hit of a basic attack. Different enough for sure.

I don't know. The fighter and rogue are really different. The Wizard and Cleric are more-or-less the same. I do feel like it's just better designed. Which I suppose isn't shocking given they've had practice.

I'd say great weapon fighters tend to get CC triggered less often. The punishment for ignoring the mark is greater and their AC isn't that much better than the rest of the party. A sword-and-board fighter will get triggered less often. When you are seeing healing surges running out for the...

I'm hoping for a bit more flavorish stuff. We'll see

wilderness knacks I'm betting Wilderness knacks are skill boosters or options for use in the wilderness. Things like tracking, direction sense, finding water, etc. Might even steal some stuff from rituals (make a camp hard to find, etc.) So mostly (entirely?) non-combat stuff that helps in...

Huh, I missed that thread...

I'll disagree about the 1e druid--everyone I saw used Animal Friendship. It looks like a leader/striker to me. Should be interesting!

In my current game (only one session so far) they are supposed to be a part of a small military band. So I gave each of the PCs 1 minion. The special rules are pretty much that minions can get up after they drop in a fight as long as they aren't hit after they drop. PCs are a weak level 3 (no...

Sure, but then stuck with basic attack and sometimes even that won't work. I (and the DM) have always found the fighter darn sticky. Especially when the baddies are trying to run away, but even in a pure fight. If there are two big bad guys, I can generally keep one focused on me.

While true, there are a few issues. First the opponent can only shift. If your allies are farther than 1 square from the baddy, he can't get to them.

Hi folks, I finally got Heroes of the Fallen Lands. I really like it (good content, good production values, nice price), but found one thing I think will be problematic. When a Heroic Knight (HK) wants to prevent his buddy from getting hit, he closes and gets the baddy in his aura. But all...

Thanks! That was non-trivial to figure out. I could also swear I'd made that same choice the first time. Ah well.

Not sure this is the right place for the question, moderators feel free to move... I just got a bill for a renewal of my DnDI account from Wizards. I was planning on renewing, so no big deal, but I clearly remember being sure that I wasn't signing up for an infinite renewal. It appears...

eh, I had a 2nd edition character who had an intelligent magic sword. That sword was quite character defining--it just was part of who he was. More lawful neutral than my dwarf (who occasionally fell into greed rather than principle) and with the ability to detect magic and detect lies often...
