    November 16th release for Web-based Character Builder

    So iplay4e will be effectively useless. That's a non-insignificant loss of ability.

    Humour: Character Builder Announcement

    Well, the offical announcement just went up over at WotC.

    Making Monsters Without the Monster Builder?

    The DMG1 has the rules for monster creation, while DMG2 has the rules for minions and traps. That said, you should also download the DMG update as it changes the rules somewhat. Using the Character builder is not a good idea. Characters have far too much complexity relative to monsters.

    Is Truesight gone?

    If there's no light, aren't all creatures invisible and thus seeable by truesight?

    Is Truesight gone?

    Well, the difference is that truesight needs line of sight, while blindsight needs line of effect. Both are still in the compendium FWIW.

    How big are regulation dice?

    Well, I was smart enough to get the white dice with black text, which makes a huge difference.

    How big are regulation dice?

    Everyone says that, but I can read my cthulhu dice from across the table. Of course, no one would ever accuse my rolling of being hot.

    How big are regulation dice?

    There's no regulation on size. That said, my experience with the stone ones is that they are not well shaped.

    Ambush Trick

    I would have it be a move with minimum distance 1. Making it part of a shift removes some tactical considerations (ie, do i give up an OA in exchange for CA).

    Is D&D Insider worth it?

    Yes, that's correct. Not as of yet. There might be one in the works, but WotC isn't talking about what new tools they are currently working on.

    Is D&D Insider worth it?

    I think its worth it. The character generator alone is worth the cost of a short subscription. I'd recommend a getting the three month subscription and seeing if it works for you. It's only ~25 bucks, so if you decide you hate it, you haven't lost that much money.

    It could be you don't have the money for the item.

    I6: Ravenloft

    I did a conversion of much of Expedition to Castle Ravenloft and it ran from level 6 to 10. http://homepage.mac.com/jedwhite/EtCR-Conv.doc

    Superior Cover and Area Attacks

    That said, for the future you could simulate something that would have the same effect. Surely the castle and tower builders of the world would know that Area spells and prayers would have such an easy time and build countermeasures into the building of the arrow slits. A series of runes and...

    I Hate Bards

    Oh, its definitely both. Heck, I'd let a character make an attack to do a Heimlich maneuver and force the character out (even though that's not how the Heimlich works) or use prestidigitation to super-spice some food to give the worm indigestion and give the character a bonus escape attempt at...

    I Hate Bards

    I could have sworn that they clarified that for a teleport of another creature to work, you had to see the origin and the destination, but I can find no support for that anyway, so I'll remove that claim. That said, you still don't have line of effect to the swallowed creature. Sure, the...

    I Hate Bards

    Even though he hit the worm, the power cannot penetrate into the stomach because creatures in the stomach don't have line of effect into the stomach. The power cannot penetrate in. Moreover, your player is being a dick. The point of all that text in the worm's stomach text is that the only...

    Is it me.. or are some feats missing in the C. Builder?

    This also sounds like a rules question and he's following a secret guide. Clearly he's a member of a secret society.

    I Hate Bards

    I find that creativity and rules exploits are polar opposites. Finding a particular exploit and then repeatedly abusing it is not just not creative, but actively negates creativity. This sounds more like a player problem than a character problem. My solution would be give the player the...
