I got bad news for you friend... all those open-ended questions get categorized into numbers so they can be statistically analyzed. Your comments get reviewed by someone and classified. Then they (usually) don't get reviewed again. I've worked with surveys in the past and, IME, everyone wants...

The dimensional lock spell also prevents teleportation.

Don't skirt the issue, talk to the player. Or better yet, talk to the whole group. Tell them, "It really bothers me when you do X, because Y. Please stop." If the player continues to metagame, suggest he find another group to play with.

Are you sure about that? It doesn't sound right. So if you have 5 different sources of temp hp put on you at once, each giving you 5 hp, and they all stack, then each time you take 5 points of damage your hp increase by 5 as one source replaces the previous? That doesn't sound right. Actually...

I feel the same way as the OP and I haven't even read the books or played the game. I bought the three books the first day they were out and I still haven't finished reading them. I'm just not feeling it. The "style" has changed. It feels like a different game dressed up with just enough of the...

I think the majority of players who don't create scrolls just need to see them used effectively to understand what they're missing. If you have the time and resources to sit down and craft a dozen or more utility spells that would otherwise be taking up a valuable spell slot (knock anyone?)...

Yeah, that's pretty much what I said. ;)

Let's say you start with 50 hp, gain 10 temp hp (now 60 hp), get in a fight and lose 20 hp (now 40 hp), then receive another 15 temp hp from a different source. Is your hp total now 45 (because the second 15 temp hp is 5 greater than the first 10) or is the first 10 wiped clean since you've...

I think it's likely the case that the book was a "memory dump" by Gygax of all the knowledge he's accumulated over the years. If there was enough to make a table, it went into the book. I highly doubt he sat down and decided to come up with the mineral hardness thingy just for the book. He...

This is for a monster that gets a 1x/day touch attack ability. The effect is similar to a much more limited confusion spell (definitely not a death attack) that causes creatures to become lost.

Is there a feat that enables monsters to increase the number of times they can use their special abilities per day?

Uh, yeah. Well I didn't understand half of your post but I think it's fair to say we'll agree to disagree.

All the RAW says is that you must move at least 20 feet away. It doesn't limit where you move (including back to your starting point) after you've moved that 20 feet. I agree that the RAW should be clarified to say you must end up at least 20 feet from where you started but, hey, it hasn't...

What's wacky is that you could move right back to where you started (if you have enough movement) and then don't even have to move your mini. That's when it starts to look silly.

That's the one! Thanks.

I'm trying to identify the month/year of the cover of Dragon magazine that had a mounted skeletal warrior/knight trekking through a swamp (IIRC) with a lantern on a stick (IIRC). It was probably a Halloween/October issue. Ring any bells?

I wish my PCs would do this more. But unless they're getting Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat, it's rare for my PCs to take it. Time is probably crucial. If there's not enough down time to use Scribe Scroll, then they won't. My players rarely take crafting feats and it's probably due in some part...

I think DDMs are suffering from two things (beyond the random distribution, which has been a "problem" since the beginning): 1) The quality of the sculpts/paint jobs has declined. Some examples are worse than others but we're seeing an increasing number of simply bad, bad, bad paint jobs (and...

I think the DM was right. Letting a tiger go into improved grab mode for each claw and bite attack is WAY overpowered. Let her do it once (if she elects to) and that's it for the round. I'd still allow the iterative claw and bite attacks (but not improved grabs) just because we'd probably roll...

But it looks nothing like Venger.
