    Creating my first 4th ed character(goliath barbarian)

    Nope. No stacking, sorry. Weapon Focus is a Feat Bonus, as are all of the racial weapon feats. (Eladrin Soldier, Dwarven Weapon Trianing, Goliath Greatweapon Prowess, etc etc.) I guess it could be noted that while DWT and Eladrin Soldier don't scale (Weapon Focus scales +1 per tier), Goliath...

    D&D 4E Is there any D&D 4th computer game?

    A turn in DDO. When DDO first came out, a "turn" was still 6 seconds. The powers that be quickly discovered that this just wasn't working, as this was just too long when combined with real life clicking. For example, any creature that failed a Hold Person save was 99.9% certain to die in those...

    Active Perception and Passive Perception

    My take... After DMing 4E exclusively since its release, I have found passive Perception to be pretty much useless. I know the Perception skills of my players, and I set the DCs. Soo... Essentially I KNOW if something will be spotted, or if it won't. Therefore, if I put a quote/unquote "secret"...

    Command and Blade Barrier

    Well... Think of a normal tabletop fan. Take off the cover. Stick your finger in it. It stings a little at first (3d6!), but then it stops spinning. You can keep your finger there all you want and it wont hurt any more. Now remove your finger and put it back in 3 or 4 times non stop... 3d6...

    D&D 4E Quick rules question about Pulling in 4E

    Looks like you got it. Hey. Sounds like you understand correctly. In this situation if the whip guy hits and decides to pull the green guy 1-4 squares so that he falls, the green guy gets a Save to prevent it. (And fall prone at the edge of the balcony, where he happens to be at the moment.)...

    Dwarven Lumberjacks

    ...and that's ok. When adjusting a certain monster to the level I want it to be, I generally find it much easier to just use an existing monster of the appropriate level and make a minor adjustment or two for flavor. In this case, an Orc Raider works just fine. Replace "Killer's Eye" with the...

    Yet another Double Weapon question!

    Hey all! "Wielding a double weapon is like wielding a weapon in each hand." That quote is from the latest ruling on Double Weapons. Yes, it's like wielding a weapon in each hand, but does that mean it meets the requirements of powers such as Twin Strike, for example, which specifically say "You...

    D&D 4E Morale Check in 4E

    Intimidate Intimidate kind of covers this... Forcing Bloodied characters to give up is more or less a test of morale. Granted, in a more general sense, it's really up to the DM to decide when something or someone has had enough and decides to flee. Gruns

    Questions from my last Play session.

    My 2 cents... These 3 things have pretty much been touched on fairly thouroughly, but it is a community message board, so I figured I'ds throw another opinion into the mix! 1) The Stealthy rogue/tarp peek incident. Forget the rules for a second, and play the game according to the situation...

    GSL for Dummies

    Hey all. I've noticed a complete and utter lack of free, fan made, not for sale, just free 4E adventures. Is this due to the GSL? While I am familiar with it in the vein of "The GSL sucks" outcries, I really dont know any of the details. So I ask the intelligent and legalize deciphering types...

    D&D 4E Wonko's 4E Auto Character Sheet + Custom Power Cards

    Is there a way to add my own Feats to this sheet? Or to add a generic bonus to the attack roll? Maybe in the combat tab section somewhere? Either way would work. Basically, what it boils down to is that I want to give a character the Weapon Expertise feat, and PHB2 material isn't in yet. Thanks! McM

    Magic: the Gathering. How to redesign without lands?

    I'll refrain from the "If you take away the concept of lands, it's no longer 'Magic'" debate... Here's a solution similar to what's been said, but a little more elegant: Make your deck as normal, but limit it to 40 cards, and no lands. Draw and play as normal. Instead of playing a "land", you...

    Why is Spider Climb better than Spider Scuttle?

    Not quite... That's not what Spider Climb does. Spider Climb asctually gives you a Climb Speed, which means you don't need to make checks to climb up walls, for example. That's an important difference. I don't know the exact wording of Spider Scuttle, but I'd guess it does NOT give you a climb...

    Clarification needed - Light Step feat

    Yes! Any feat this useless has to apply to horses, boats, airships, etc... I can't remember the last time I officially used overland movement speed. Ditto for tracking the party. "Hex maps are safer than normal grid squares because on hex maps you can only be surrounded by 6 enemies." Later...
