    Good Mini's for Serenity

    I got these packaged with QAGS Firefly. It is no longer available due to copyright issues, but I don't see why these wouldn't be legal. The creator's name is embedded in the file. Cardstock would work best.

    PH3 Preview: SKill Powers

    Yeah, I was hoping for more non-combat powers too. I like it overall. But Invigorating Presence is absurd. How does one person's lamaze breathing give temp hp to the rest of the party?

    [3.x] 3rd Party Hidden gems?

    XRP has one book and one product line I wouldn't run a 3.x campaign without: Beast Builder and Monster Geographica: this collects and updates monsters from other sources into books organized by terrain type and CR. I'll also second the Artificer's Handbook.

    Quick Question on Fighter Build

    16 (+2 = 18), 14, 14, 13, 10, 8 would indeed be legal. You might also consider picking up a background for one of those two skills and a multiclass feat for the other, if you're unimpressed with the fighter skill list. Dungeoneering would seem like a must for a "tomb raider" type.

    Killing the d20-The Bell Curve roll

    Isn't that a pretty severe Oath nerf relative to its normal effectiveness?

    Twin Strike question

    You're right that its an extremely minor nerf. But it does come up. I don't think this works, because you get to know both attack rolls. "After all attacks are rolled." The method you outline isn't isomorphic to that in one case: a hit followed by a crit. To get that, you have to apply the...

    Twin Strike question

    All of my reasons are circumstantial, and probably won't satisfy people that want to apply the general procedure. Yes, I named two in the post: the errata'd Dual Strike and Wildblood Frenzy. Its possible these mean the same thing as "two attacks" (except for legal target differences), but I...

    Twin Strike question

    I was referring to the errata'd version, which gives the secondary attack on an effect line after the primary attack (as do other powers such as Wildblood Frenzy). If it's "two attacks," I read it is "declare both, execute both." If it's on attack with "effect: make the same attack... again,"...

    Defensive Cleric Build in "Divine Power"

    I think you can do a whole build with only one damaging power, which makes some sense. You have to find some way to kill undead. Of course, given that you can always do "nonlethal damage" (i.e., not kill an npc when you drop them to 0) I don't understand why you couldn't play a pacifist cleric...

    The Ultimate Delve and Forced Movement into Lava

    The official rules for lava transcend all editions and systems. But your GM hosed you on the "no save to keep from falling in." I like the timed events. Yes, you need to make decisions quickly. Part of me considers that a feature, not a bug. As long as the DM is calling out who is "on deck"...

    Setting with humans only (that is, all races as humans)

    If you're starting a new campaign, impose any ex ante restrictions you like. The only thing that I find needs to be handled lightly are changes mid-campaign, because players have based expectations on the previous rules.

    sanity check: Ranger fighting styles

    Yes, but she must be wielding one off-hand weapon, or a double weapon. She can select it, but she can only execute it while holding two melee weapons. As above, this must include one off-hand or a double weapon. So yes, there is an asymmetry: two-bladers can do archery perfectly well through...

    Experts Help!

    Doppelgangers are Changelings in 4e. No difference. But they get an Int bonus, so they're solid swordmages. For a bounty hunter changeling swordmage, I'd go Arcane Hunter or Ghost Blade, both in Arcane Power.

    Twin Strike question

    This is how I read it. Makes it different from Dual Strike.

    I know this has been asked a million times before but...Good Starter RPG

    Serenity is alot of fun. This site has some good downloads for it, including pre-written adventures that can get you started. It can be deadly, so I would suggest being extremely generous with plot points as you're all learning the ropes. Give 'em out like candy. Even better, use candy to keep...

    Noobish question about damage

    Yes, it is all by power now. For ranged basic attacks, you add Dex by default. However, if you use a heavy thrown weapon, you use Str mod for attack and damage.

    D&D 5E (2014) What direction should 5th edition take?

    I love 4e overall, but... -I could go for the un-Diablification of magic items. -Likewise, I don't need lots of magic items with overlapping abilities (different kinds of lightsabers, etc.). Flipping through AV (whether on screen in CB or Compendium or in print) just feels like a tax on my...
