    How to build a Puppeteer Villain

    Controls others with magic, huh? Doppleganger tangent... the three as one idea is pretty cool. But, what if those three were actually just 'puppets' or undead or brainwashed people or something that didn't actually have telepathy but were controlled by a true mastermind? That could lead to some...

    Warlocks, Shadow Walk and Concealment (not Stealth)

    Because of the way heavily obscured and total concealment work. Being adjacent to a heavily obscured creature only gives them concealment. If concealment worked... okay, let me try putting it this way. If concealment gives -2 at melee and range, then Total concealment (or heavy obscurement)...

    Halfling Rogues - Are they at a Disadvantage?

    Warlocks, Shadow Walk and Concealment (not Stealth)

    After busting out my PHB, I think SS's right. I'd say concealment stacks up such that concealment + concealment = Heavily Obscured. Heavily + concealment = Totally Obscured, thus -5 at melee and range, thus effectively invisible. Soo written out... Lightly Obscured/Concealment = -2 Range, -0...

    You know you've been getting into 4e D&D too much when...

    I think you actually win at life.

    What Good is Corellon's Grace?

    This. Yeah, the flanking thing is cool and fun and all (or the well-timed retreat), but the serious awesome is being able to go, "The dragon used an AP to make an extra breath attack?" "Yes?" "Cool, I move away from it." I think that can be more handy at times than turning undead. 2 cents and...

    When Gamers Cook

    If you look at Ridcully's posts, you might see how I feel about that link.

    Rogues are useless!

    House rule that small sharp improve weapons count as light blades.

    Dragonborn Dragon Breath encounter power is a minor action?

    You have won today. I'm not sure what. But you just did.

    Noticed something on the core set slipcover.

    Nice find. That's really cool. Even if it's something they dropped, I hope they make up something new and roll with it. Although, I think Moon-Lancer's idea makes sense.

    As a DM, What do you do when your party doesn't kill the bad guy?

    Abridged anecdote time! Let the paladin who has emotional issues and bordering on evil tie it up and kick it around a bit. It'll feel right at home. If a Tiefling pleads for its life, consider this long and hard. If it is grateful for having its life spared/actually hates its boss, it will...

    How do the D&D design team play D&D?

    That may be the best story ever. If not, it comes pretty close.

    AD&D 1E 4.1E - now without classes

    I love the idea of a classless game. That said, I'd suggest running a session or two with the rules 'as-is' just to see how they play out. Isn't athletics the running/jumping/climbing skill - similar to how they do things in white wolf where one skill can be widely applicable? Rogues get some...

    "Monk" as ranger subclass.

    Wizards actually tried something very similar. Magical upgrades to the melee weapons need to be added or something... but looks good enough.

    Racial ability mods "Fix", Adding player choice

    I agree that Cha makes sense for Eladrin over Str. I think that half-elves should maybe have an extra stat available (two physical and two mental, maybe?)... A small ember burns in my heart for them being the best at multi-classing. I'm not sure about the humans getting the +1 to attack. Maybe...

    Need help, looking for a quote

    Was it Monte Cook who said it? I remember the quote too... Souuhhh... I'm pretty much bumping this so someone who knows may see it.

    New Article up, The Ashen Covenant

    Drat. I should've gone all the way to page 6 instead of just 5. Alas. And thus this thread dies a painless death. Or something.
