    What to run for my two friends at Gen Con?

    On second thought, after reading http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/244385-how-hard-d-d-4th-edition-black-dragon-fight-2.html I think I am going to put some kind of magic Orb of Light in the adventure that the PCs can break or steal to cancel out the dragon's darkness power...

    What to run for my two friends at Gen Con?

    So I'm finally working on this and I thought I'd start with Nightscale and work backward, that way I will be sure to have encounters prepped all the way to the end. But it turns out you did all the encounters except for Nightscale. So what you did is take the encounters, balanced for 5 level...

    stages of rebellion

    Wow, what a great background for a campaign. Look at all the politics, and all the action, and the growing challenge, and the development afterward. I'm thinking dracocracy.

    Raiders of Oakhurst Reloaded map question

    Oh, you're right, it says that in the strategy. I was looking in the boxed text but I guess the exit wasn't worth mentioning. The other entrance on page 34 says "to lower level" while this one isn't labeled, and I'm not used to adventures being nonlinear with two paths toward the end like that...

    Raiders of Oakhurst Reloaded map question

    On page 34 the map of Nightscale's lair shows a passageway leading to the southwest that is not mentioned in the text. It almost seems to correspond to a nub off of Meepo's lair on page 33 that is also not mentioned in the text. Are you supposed to be able to get to the lake from Meepo's cave?

    Ideas for a Ghoul Monk Cleric NPC

    My image is him meditating in a bizarre yoga position, like a pushup with his legs straight out to the side or something. The party comes in behind him and he doesn't drop his meditative pose -- he just turns his head 180 degrees and looks at them. Gets across the stretchiness, monkiness, and...

    Ideas for a Ghoul Monk Cleric NPC

    Hey, this thread is really taking off! Thanks to dannyalcatraz for putting it in his sig. No, in fact because Danny talked about the Dragon updating OA to 3.5 I thought the original 1985 version was the only one. However, after looking at the supplement, I don't see anything about monks in...

    Ideas for a Ghoul Monk Cleric NPC

    I need to replace a villain in DCC #48 "Vale of the Indus." I tried to figure out what the authors were trying to bring across and couldn't, so now I want to make a ghoul monk cleric with some actual focus who does something cool. I always think creativity works better when you have...

    The People's Court: Should I Pay for New Brakes?

    I know I didn't have to pay anything. I don't remember if it was because it was just a bad switch in the parking brake or it just wasn't much damaged at all. They got divorced since then, so I can't check.

    What is the deal with the ending of DCC#48 ("Vale of the Indus")?

    I forgot to mention that there are all kinds of monk weapons hanging on the walls which he is supposed to be grabbing, using, or throwing. With his two monk levels, and when he has a ghoul's paralyzing touch. I almost wonder if I could find the author of this module's e-mail and ask him why...

    What is the deal with the ending of DCC#48 ("Vale of the Indus")?

    I think that's the chance I'm going to give them. The module says they always control it on a 6 no matter what, but I'll have that apply only if they go straight to the end and don't cleanse any of the shrines (they need to have a chance to control it as a clue to what to do). 3-6 seems like a...

    What is the deal with the ending of DCC#48 ("Vale of the Indus")?

    Okay now, this is the more interesting bit. I can't tell from the description what kind of battle the author intended the final encounter to be. The boss, Baldev, is a Lv 4 Cleric/Lv 2 monk ghoul. At the beginning of the encounter it says he raises all slain monks as zombies, and at the end...

    What is the deal with the ending of DCC#48 ("Vale of the Indus")?

    I am prepping the adventure "Vale of the Indus" from Goodman Games "The Adventure Continues" because it got a good review here. It's been fun to anticipate through the first four boss monsters, but there are two things I don't get about the very last encounter. (Spoilers) One is a typo, and...

    Best way to steal something from the PCs in combat?

    The -16 penalty he'd get on Disarm made me look for other solutions right away.

    Can I use an implement and a weapon at the same time?

    That sounds like the mechanically approved way for me to do what I want to do. Seems like my judgment causing me to post this as a question was correct; having both an orb and an implement is such a mechanically broken idea that they believe it should cost you a feat and the side benefits that...

    Can I use an implement and a weapon at the same time?

    I am porting my 3.5E wizard into 4E and he used to have a dagger with a prism in the handle as the focus for Rainbow Pattern. I thought the prism could be my "orb" implement but I wondered if you were allowed to have an orb and a weapon both.

    How do we actually play the game?

    Edit: It told me it didn't post the first time because it was too close together!

    Strange, cheap dice at Five Below

    Anybody know where I can get more polyhedral dice with no numbers on the like the three I found at GenCon last year? The swirls and sparkles and shapes make them great gemstones.
