Thanks, Curt! I owe you more XP after I spread the love.

How are the rules structured? Not looking for the full ToC, but just the order of the major sections. For instance, a peeve of mine is how the PHB (and most every other RPG rules set) puts character generation first. Granted, it is the most important thing to a player, but I argue that the...

Does it appear to be current through the 6 July 2010 rules update? For example, under Prone, there should no longer be any mention of flying creatures descending their speed... they just fall. Any new changes jump out at you (that may be in the forthcoming 7 Oct errata?)

checked more times than a sane person can defend! :)

Mine has 6 (numbered 1-6), but I wonder if there is supposed to be a sheet 7? Three magic items in the adventure in the DM book say to give the character the card for it... but I don't have those cards. I'm pretty sure I saw those cards in a demo copy... So, am I missing a sheet, or did...

Further evidence of the Red Box not being as current as the rest of the Essentials (assuming that the rest of Essentials will be published with the 6 July errata): DM Book, pg.16: The Prone entry states that flying creatures safely descend a distance equal to their speed before falling. The 6...

Cross-posted from my entry in the stickied Red Box errata thread: Was that ever verified? Couldn't it just be that the Essentials preview was out of date and the stuff in the Red Box is correct and will also be reflected in Heroes of the Fallen Land? That wouldn't be the first outdated...

Rebuild when HotFL comes out. It'll be available on the 10th at premier stores. As I get older, I've embraced the fact that D&D is a game. Why not rebuild your character when new options become available?

Was that ever verified? Couldn't it just be that the Essentials preview was out of date and the stuff in the Red Box is correct and will also be reflected in Heroes of the Fallen Land? That wouldn't be the first outdated preview. In fact, I think that very same preview references Power Strike...

Last night at Encounters we had a girl show up that hadn't played in 3-4 years (and was therefore new to 4E.) But never fear, a friend--who wasn't with her--helped her make a character to bring. Yeah... that character was a Tiefling Hybrid Ardent/Fighter... and the player had never played 4E...

The MM glossary entry I found doesn't prevent a swarm from being grabbed, but man, I just can't see how a swarm could be grabbed and held in place. I ruled 'no' in the game last night and no one objected, but this seems like something that would have a clear rule. Anyone know of one? Thanks!

Just discovered these guys in the ad bar at the top of this site: www.dapperdevil.com I love the recessed miniature bases. I'm considering just getting a bunch of red ones to mark bloodied. (I use small colored and numbered circle stickers to identify goblin 1 from goblin 2.) Although it may...

I've tried lots of different markers, but I just discovered the plastic soda ring (courtesy of slyflourish.com) and they suit my needs best. 1) Stickers and Post-it flags are too fiddly and sometimes don't stick. Plus you have to pick the mini up. 2) I don't like magnets or any tokens that go...

True, but it hasn't been updated in over three months. Is another errata update due soon? Thanks, Steve

It only took me two decades to find out that "Drow" is pronounced like "cow" and not like "row" (as in row boat.) So, how is "Genasi" supposed to be pronounced? Jen-a-SIGH Jen-NA-see Jen-a-SEE other? Thanks, RS

Good point. Fortunately for me and my players, I did allow the circling slide. A quick glance at the rulebook did not give me any reason to disallow it. The situation actually caused me to realize that how I assumed the rule worked probably wasn't how it was intended. I'm glad I play for fun...

Welcome! Yep, read all that. I just never really considered changing directions until a player did it. But... my one reservation in interpreting the rule is the slide line you quoted states "no restriction on the direction..." (not directions) So, I think a valid interpretation may be that...

I've always assumed that any push/pull/slide (PSS) movement of two squares or more must continue in the same direction as the initial movement. But after a player wanted to slide a target 4 squares in a circle around him, I'm rethinking that assumption. Can you indeed change directions during...

WotC... for your market research... count me in the camp that severely dislikes modrons and thinks the game is better off without them.

The last sentence of Flyby Attack states: The [creature] doesn't provoke opportunity attacks when moving away from the target of the attack. How does one interpret that? Does it mean that the target and only the target doesn't get an OA after the creature attacks? Or does it mean that no one...
