I'd recommend having the minotaur drop his con to 17 and raise his wis to 13, and multiclassing cleric. He'd also have an extra couple points to put in other skills -- wis 14 would raise his will defense. This just gives him healing word once an encounter as a minor action... which is pretty...

As above -- please be sure that your players will enjoy this as part of a game. They are possibly signed up to play a game, not learn a lesson about inhumanity. If you'd like to portray characters slowly turning more and more monstrous and evil, you might want to hit up White Wolf. If your...

Bump! Too many "I will help you convert x" threads for this to be ignored.

I now perform the ritual of thread necromancy. I should start like this back up for 4E. So far I've only adapted homunculi into witches' cats and dragons into crazed goblins though...

Hello. As it will invariably get asked, "Why do you want to convert?" -- this is a game I'm running for my family, and I've been running it once every few months for a few years. Though True20 is a wonderful system, it is not as easy to learn and retain as 4E for a new player. I think with...

Ease of use for new players. The game is a lot easier to pick up for new players. This is pretty rad for me. Prep time change is awesome. Level-up/down monsters change from 3.5 is HUGE. Just awesome.

[Just a teaser.] It was time. She climbed up from the volcano where she had long slumbered. Her lieutenant followed, carrying with her a boiling vat of lava. Her thirteen lesser followers, fire giants of simple stature, stood too low to the ground for her to deign to speak to. Her...

I do not support my FLGS. I used to buy books from a store that allowed browsing, except the haze of smoke from the owner smoking all day also yellowed the pages of anything sitting on the shelf. Nice enough place, but it got bad enough to where I couldn't walk in without getting a headache...

First off, your style sounds pretty grand. I would like to think I do something similar, just without physical notes... and I can't say I write anything close to "berserks for cheeses" on the fly. Ok, maybe sometimes. Regardless, do you want a minion, or level 1 encounter? I can't see you...

Well, no, not really. It's just asking how many people on the general forum of EN World primarily play D&D, or are playing something else. I'm DM'ing 4E right now and loving it, but I'm also playing Wraith right now and really liking it so far.

If the feat is named Brutal Blade, but it allows any one handed weapon, then it has an odd flavor for a rogue using a mace. Not sure how to fix it of course. I suppose "Katana Elegance" might be alright for that particular character.

This is hardly broken. Even in zombie movies with extra-stupid zombies, not all the zombies fling themselves to their doom to get at the humans. They watch some of the others do it, then do something else. Goblins and anyone else, if they're at a disadvantage in a ranged fight, will simply...

In my opinion, it's the DM's job to make a world, and help you make a character, so that if that character dies, you're so connected to it that it DOES bother you when you die. You should, in my opinion, have a sense of loss. If you don't, you're missing a vital part of the game. My games...

The uproar is ridiculous. When teaching a card game, doesn't everyone play a few hands face up to learn? It's fairly silly not to do if you have players who are not grasping the new concepts.

In this example: C FC C It's pretty silly that the guy on the side doesn't get CA as well. Heck, in this case: C F C C The guy should have combat advantage from the ranged position as well. In my opinion. "Realistically" it would make sense to just give a bonus to hit based directly...

I like it. Seems like an overall improvement on the storyline. You may expect the PCs to go directly to the burial site rather than straight to Irontooth, assuming they have the location available to them. This might not be that bad though. If this happens, you could have their mentor...

Sounds like you need to plan it out ahead of time for a bit. Decide what would be interesting for them to encounter in the woods, have that happen. See if the players go for it. If they don't, change it up. You also don't need neat things to happen during travel. You could always just let...

Excerpt was a bit lacking... I don't have a good idea of what kind of detail they went into, especially with the plot ideas. The only one mentioned was "Orest can ask the PCs to run guard duty for a magic item shipment." Not very interesting on its own, but, it is a seed. I'm hoping we see...

Every MM race that is statted out is a go for PCs for my first game. Maybe not the best decision, but I want to push the system fairly far anyway. I don't really anticipate people choosing primarily non-PHB races anyway.

Considering roleplaying: It is not apparent if you have not read the module, however, the module contains many hints for roleplaying opportunities in the module if the players are interested. It also contains good advice for how to roleplay an NPC memorably for the newer DM. If you're going...
