When I press F9 I get #NAME? in every cell.

Very nice article. Kudos to Rodney Thompson and Travis Stout!

I've been thinking of this myself since playing GW. My group has some non-rules-y types, and 4e is too much for them. But GW's stripped-down rules went over decently. What I was considering stealing from GW is: * stat generation: take a 16 & 14 and roll 4d6 (drop lowest) 4 times. Or an 18 and...

Nevermind! But thanks for the write-up!

There's not a tremendous number of epic-level NPCs hanging around in Eberron. Depending on your definition of NPC, I suppose. I think I read in one of the books that the PCs are supposed to be the first in a long long time? if they get that high. There are the Daelkyr, trapped underground, the...

What are you looking for in NPC groups? Patrons? Enemies? Eberron is full of sparsely inhabitated areas, if that's what your player is looking for, even within the remaining major nations. 100 years of war will do that. So it really depends. Does the mage want to be a friendly village...

So the current group is: Jinn, Half-Elf Ardent (Noble Adept) Siltstorm, Silt Elemental [warforged] Knight (Elemental Priest) Pakran, Human Monk (Dune Trader) Arin, Changeling Hexblade (Athasian Minstrel) ? What level is everyone? The attachment is missing. :(

The only stuff you need is one of the Dark Sun box sets, the 2e D&D rules, and some 2e psionics rules. Some of the box sets are neat, but hardly required. The Dark Sun monster collections and the softcover supplements would probably be much more useful to the DM (Dune Trader, Slave Tribes?, the...

That is to say, conjurations can't normally be affected by much of anything unless their description specifically says that they can. The shaman's spirit companion, for example, has defenses, can be hit by certain attacks, and so on. This is all in the glossary at the back of the PHB2.

IME, yes. Invest in concealment/invisibility options (also very expensive, but much more effective than AC boosts).

Aw. :( I love the reskinning of the warforged! Neat idea.

Love it. I have dreamed of running a goblin campaign set in Eberron since shortly after 4e's release.

I converted B4 and I1 to 4e and I think they turned out decently. Although the group didn't finish playing through I1. In both cases I tried to stay as true to the original encounters as possible, and left in the wandering monsters (including rolling for how many monsters appeared). That meant...

That's a distinct possibility when you force a player to use a character that they don't like. Your approach that you've described here is incredibly heavy-handed, and is not likely to produce the result that you want it to - regardless of whether or not the player is an immature jerk. I would...

Believe me, I've considered that. Of course, when it comes to replacing the DM with a computer, the line is going to be drawn somewhere. There's always going to be some situation that the computer has not been programmed to handle. As far as triggered actions go, there are two components that I...

Well, it's a little more complicated than that. Basic attacks & OAs are almost trivial to implement, because they don't really do much of anything aside from damage, and they aren't going to trigger additional interrupts. The meat of the implementation is what happens when an event can trigger...

It's probably mostly inertia at this point. Back in the beginning I would wager that it was a combination of "the alliance must be the good guys", "the horde races are ugly", and "I want to play an elf." It was always perplexing to me, as well.

Heh. As someone who is working on a similar project, the logic of immediate actions is the biggest hurdle that I've come across. There is no defined order, so you'll just have to pick one. And then there's the possibility that one triggered action might invalidate the original action, or could...

There's no real penalty for coming in late. Since they just revamped all of the low-level content, you should have plenty of company as you level up. And the levelling up experience is quite fun. Finding a friendly guild can make it much more so, but that's tough when you're low level and don't...
