True, but getting yourself sucked into a gelatinous cube is another way to make oneself unattackable... Later! Gruns

Hey all. So my group had a run in with a gelatinous cube today, and many a rules questions sprung into light! Where to start... I guess it's just best to describe the scenario, and you rules expert types can tell me where I screwed up! We had a (W)arlord, (P)aladin and a (R)ogue in a corridor...

Figured it was something like this, but wasn't aware that by default my Excel was NOT showing all the pages in a worksheet, so there was nothing displayed underneath. I had to mess around with some settings under the VIEW tab to get the rest to show. Thanks. Gruns

Hmm... What am I missing here? When I open the file, I see a lot of instructions. "FOR THIS SHEET TO WORK PROPERLY YOU MUST ENABLE MACROS", followed by how to do that, then the bug report email, then the character sheet step 1. Select race, class... ... etc The problem is, there are no drop...

As another huge fan of EQ, I've tried to incorporate EQ type quests into my DMing. Ultimately I've found that they simply don't translate very well. "Go kill wooly mammoths until a tainted one spawns, then kill it and bring me the tusk" just doesn't work. The best I've come up with is using the...

Hey all. Not a specific rules question here, but more of a general "Am I understanding this right?" sort of thing. Let's say the highest passive Perception score for anyone in my group is 20. Now let's say I make a secret door with a Perception DC of exactly 20. This means that it is spotted...

My group Hello. I'm DMing the module for a group of three: Dragonborn Paladin, Eladrin Warlord, Halfling Rogue. *** Potential Spoiler Alert! *** - - - - - - I first ran them through the Kobold ruins adventure in the back of the DMG. They ran when they saw the dragon(asleep) and brought...

Badly worded. Yeah, I know they know they are marked. My question in the topic was badly worded. The real question I want to know is, do they know the warrior will get an attack if they try to move and/or attack someone else. Gruns

Not quite. No, I paid attention. When I hit the Quote button, there was definitely text in there about pg 57 of the PHB. When it brought up the Quote blocks, I also saw the 'aaa' in there, I thought it odd, but figured it was some code that was going to include what you actually wrote. :P Gruns

Yes but... Yes, SOME class features are powers, like the ones you mentioned, and like the Paladin's Divine Challenge, which leaves no doubt that creatures know what happens when they attack someone else when Marked by a paladin. But some are NOT powers; like the Fighter's Combat Challenge...

Thanks Thanks! That at least officially explains what Marked is, though I had no doubt about what being marked was. Still good to see it somewhere listed in the book, as it's not in the glossary. I guess the Condition section only makes sense. (P.S.- Where does it say creatures/PCs know what...

Umm... Umm... I quoted that exact thing in my original post. I also pointed out that when Fighters mark someone, it isn't from a power... Gruns

Hello. First, the basic question(s): Do enemies know they are marked by fighters? And similarly, do they know what happens when they are marked? I remember reading in some pre-4E playtest reports that enemies knew what would happen if the paladin Divine Challenged them, and they attacked...

Hello. Just a quick question I have regarding Close Blast vs Area Blast. The book is pretty clear in the text on PHB 271, but the picture examples they give on page 272 only help to confuse me. (Probably unecessarily) Am I right in my assumption that the Blast examples in the picture on...

My fake OCD goes nuts when I look at the 4E Players Handbook and see 2 Defenders, 2 Leaders, but 3 Strikers and 1 Controller. Obviously, one of those Strikers should have been a Controller. Warlock out, Illusionist in! Or maybe Druid is a Controller... Bard is probably a Leader. How about a...

As expected. I was pretty sure the whole thing was going to suck when I heard they were actually going to call it Gleemax... Is this name 100% set in stone? Is anyone at WotC listening? It's not too late to change the name to something I'm not embarrased to mention to a potential new gamer...

Hey, all... Is there any news about the release of Dorkness Rising? All I can find while searching around the net is that the movie is pretty much done, waiting for a publisher and the release date is supposedly 2006. Was wondering if anyone had any more info than that. Thanks. Gruns

Hmmm... This got me thinking. Perhaps there once was a company called International Business Optic Machines... I could see where the nickname Eye-Bomb would cause such a company to go out of business fairly quick... Oh, and it's Eee Enn World, BTW... Gruns

Hey all. I'm DMing a new campaign with three players. As our campaigns tend to die out around level 10, we decided we'd try something different this time, and start at level 12. They rolled up characters, and all decided on casters... Relatively normal Dwarf Cleric Slightly abnormal Gnome...
