    Goblin Hexer - Stinging Hex

    This is a ranged attack vs Will, the target takes 3d6 + 1 damage if it moves on its turn, save ends. What happens when the attack rolls a 20? Since its an attack I assumed it was a crit. But the damage doesn't happen till the target moves on his turn. And... does it do crit damage every turn...

    Unconscious, Dying and your options

    Thanks. Yes, I had that thought about spending the surges after the fight and was going to allow it. If nothing else it would have kept the game moving along. rv

    Unconscious, Dying and your options

    LOL Too funny. Thanks for the answer. Lets see what anyone else says. BTW, I let them do it last night as I wasn't sure and it seemed to follow the more casual 'let them have fun' vibe of 4.0. rv

    Unconscious, Dying and your options

    We had our first 4th Ed game last night (via Fantasy Grounds with my 2 players who DIDN'T go to Gencon) and we had 1 major rule question that came up. I think these are the options you have when go you below 0: 1. Roll your Death Save and hope to roll a 20. 2. Have a Cleric cast a Heal...

    Online play - what do you use?

    We've been using FG to run WLD one night a week for about 3 years now. That plus Skype for voice. FG gives virtual dice to roll, on-line character sheets to track your character and some adventure/campaign organizational things (a place to enter npc's, items (though this doesn't work very...

    D&D 4e PDFs at RPGNow

    (off-topic...) I'm in the same boat. She LOVES the LoTR moves and Harry Potter but won't touch a rpg game. My current plan... I'm going to try and run my 3 kids though KotS in the near future. With 3 kids and me running a character that only gives us a party of 4. I'm going to ask her to...

    Wall and Blade Barrier spells

    Thanks for the answer! So, you consider a Wall of Force to be non-physical? I've alwasy pictured it more... solid than that. rv

    Wall and Blade Barrier spells

    Do they need to be 'resting' on the ground? Or, can they be cast 5' or more feet in the air? Mostly thinking of Wall of Force but the same goes for all the wall spells. And Blade Barrier. Thanks, rv

    Eladrin Cities...

    Perhaps they are BORN with the ability. i.e their first act of teleporting is moving outside the womb!!! Mom: "Whoop! Oh honey, the baby is here. Be a good Daddy and look around to see where he ended up." (Ok... so you need line of sight to do this... but the above would have an...

    Correct use of minions?

    Isn't there a rule saying the hit that drops a 'bad guy' can knock them unconscious instead? Can you do this for minons that only take one hit? rv

    GSL, Published Worlds and your game

    Not sure if this has been brought up yet or not. I thought of it Friday night but had to travel out of town. With WoTC's 'publish a new PHB every year' plan and, to my understanding, 3rd partys having to not exclude core things from their works... does this mean companies that create campaign...

    FantasyGrounds Takes Legal Action Against WotC

    From a post I made on the FG boards: I showed this to a friend and he had to go and figure out the odds. Not taking color into effect the chances of all WoTC's dice being on the same numbers as FG's dice is about 1 in 500,000. If you take color into account assuming 64 colors its 1 in 33...

    FantasyGrounds Takes Legal Action Against WotC

    There was no arranging. WoTC took an image that was on the FG website and used it as their own. So, FG had a picture of their desktop with dice on them and said "Look how cool our VT desktop is! You get dice!" WoTC took that image, cut out the picture of the dice and used it as their image of...

    FantasyGrounds Takes Legal Action Against WotC

    Lets see... Yes, Smiteworks is based in Finland and they are the creators of Fantasy Grounds. I'm not sure. But on the FG boards one of the Smiteworks guys said the sent a Cease and Desist order. Sorry Darrin I didn't mean you. I was responding to someone up thread about Smiteworks doing...

    FantasyGrounds Takes Legal Action Against WotC

    Hi guys. FG user here and I frequent their message boards quite a bit. This is pretty old news (by today's web standards). As noted above the die were EXACTLY the same and were obviously copied and put into a WoTC document. The same day FG announced they had served up a C&D order Wizards took...

    Chicago Gameday XX was June 14th: AFTERMATH

    Game day! Uggg, tired. But had to load up some pictures from Game Day. This event almost made us quit out game, and it didn't even happen to us. But after this, how could our game compete??? The soon to be infamous pie event...
