Help! Back in August I bookmarked a thread in this forum where someone (or several someones) redid the KotS character sheets to fix all the errors. There was even complete sheets for each level, 1-3. Of course, I bookmarked that on my work computer in Afghanistan and forgot to save the link to...

I didn't know where else to put it. It's not really a rules issue, either.

In researching, making, and playing a tactical warlord last week, I'm starting to think that a taclord really needs to start with an 18 INT. This is because of the Tactical Presence class feature. While a 16 or 17 INT provides an acceptable +3 ability modifier, when halved it becomes only a...

The spiked shield is an offhand weapon and a light shield that grants +1 AC and Reflex. Two-Weapon Defense gives a +1 AC and reflex when having a melee weapon in each hand. So, using TWD with a Spiked Shield yields +2 to both, which equals a heavy shield. The question is: at what cost...

Thanks and thanks! I award you XP for 'aiding the oblivious to notice the obvious.' :D

What feature is that? I just logged in at home for the first time after returning from my deployment to A-stan, so I'm a little behind.

My understanding of the RAW for drow PCs in FRPG is that they all have both cloud of darkness and darkfire, but can only use one or the other each encounter. But then I read the 'Children of Darkness' article just posted to Dragon. In it, three of the new feats specifically call out cloud of...

Here's my guess on what they don't want to spoil: With 16 more months to go, I expect that the later parts of SoW will include monsters from MM2 (and maybe 3), as well as things from other books yet to be published or even announced. If they say, the BBEG of SoW is _____________, a 33rd level...

I don't see how argument is any weaker than the 'must know it all right now' argument. You don't need anything more than what you have right now. You don't need the entire metaplot to run each scenario. You don't have to plan anything out... you finish one and move on to the next. I thought...

The line of reasoning that argues 'we are owed a synopsis from the very beginning so I know exactly what is going to happen before I invest my time' is flawed. Using that reasoning, every fiction author should be expected to summarize their entire story arc at the front of the very first book of...

Some reasons I see: 1) There are a lot more people playing 4E than SWSE. No, I don't have numbers to back that up, but I'm certain that's a safe statement. 2) I was downloading the DoD adventures... until I found and read the synopsis. It was great, but since I wasn't actively running the game...

This may be old news, but seeing that my FRCG just arrived today, it's new to me! The Zombie Rotter stat block on p.24 of the FRCG lists them as Lvl 1 minions, 25 XP each. Otherwise, the block is identical to the one in the MM expect the latter lists them as Lvl 3 minions worth 38 XP each. A...

That means Oct just became a cheap month for me: Starter Set, Trollhaunt Warrens, and 2 copies of the Dungeon Tiles. I really wanted the Deluxe rulebooks, but they came off my list once I found out they won't have errata. * In contrast, Nov will be pricey! Two hardbacks now (Martial Power and...

Yay! I'll DL it when I get to my quarters... in about 15 min.

You know, between Dragon and Dungeon, they have A LOT of articles to post in the next three and a half business days if they intend to complete August's issue in August. Lots of goodness this week if they do! Lots of gnashing of teeth and bemoaning of the state of DDI (I predict) if they...

Maybe they should re-errata that swordmaster ability to read something like "you can use any 1st-level fighter at-will power you know instead of your melee basic attack." Of course, that will open the door for a wider selection of powers to be used once more 1st-level at-wills appear (I'm...

Up yet? I can't check at work, but I can when I'm done in two hours. Would like to read it before I go to bed. (Its nighttime here in Afghanistan.)

I think the real problem with the feat is that it can apply to ANY power. I'd rather leave the prereqs the same, but change the benefit to: "When you attack with a warlock encounter power..." Still useful for mutliclass, but limited. I also think maybe the damage requirement should be 5 HP...

I infer from the new cosmology that 'space' as we know it (and used previously for Spelljammer)doesn't really exist in 4E D&D. There are no other planets, just 'the world' as described on p. 160 of the DMG. Even the illustration shows just a single planet. I think 'space' may actually be the...

Effing awesome! Question: the epic destiny deals a lot with 'radiant fire.' Does that mean 'radiant and fire'?
