"Quick! We need to get him back to where this is just a flesh wound!" -- The Last Action Hero

"Violent Violet" the Purple Dragon will need to appear in one of my games come December. ;) I doubt anyone will acuse her of being drab. I think Violet will be conversational and wacky, but with a short temper. Her first appearance will probably be while the PCs are low enough level that...

Will Save v. Fear (1d20+3=21) Wounded and knowing that ranged attacks are ineffective in high winds, T'Ranis is faced with a tough decision. He's either got to make it up to the Majestic or flee on foot. There's a possibility that this monster will be able to rip the majestic out of the sky...

Thirded.

Rio looks about for any indication of who or what is responsible. Whatever it is, the group might be facing it at some point, and forewarned is forearmed.

No matter how good the DM may be, making life easier for the DM frees up resources that the DM can use to make the game even better. Even if some of us (as Lizard says) can fix up an entire night's adventure in 10 minutes, if you could get all of the same stuff done in 5 you could use the...

Perhaps some of those things will be handled by exploits. I'll be interested to see some more martial utility powers, I don't really have a grasp on the intended scope. Swing from Chandelier (or something more generic that can be flavored that way in context) or bash open door, perhaps?

I am spoiled in that respect, just about everyone in my group takes a turn in the DM spot. :)

I'm hoping that 4e will be (as promised) significantly easier to DM than 3e was. While I could DM just about anything I could imagine in 3e, the process was simply too time consuming to maintain for long while working a full time job and raising a familly. Largely, I resorted to using Dungeon...

Yep, not much like chess at all. "Finish him, Rae."

Readying an Action You can ready a standard action, a move action, or a free action. To do so, specify the action you will take and the conditions under which you will take it. Then, any time before your next action, you may take the readied action in response to that condition. The action...

In one of my play by post 3.5 games a couple of years ago, I put in a small community living in the woods near a bunch of monsters. They were only about 5 families living there, and they sure as heck did have walls, and were aware that the world around them is a dangerous place. While I wrote...

Rio wonders if there's any party of this statement that isn't dubious, but he does move forward to investigate further. As he does so, he will scan the area for evil, expecting some sort of ambush.

This is the suggestion I thought had won aproval.

I wouldn't mind a Dark Sun game, and I might even buy an updated DS campaign setting. However, it's pretty low on my list... I'd rather see them throw the designer resources at other things first. Eberron is my campaign setting of choice, for example. A big hardcover "Worlds of Adventure"...

"If you want to avoid putting one of us in combat first, diagonally move back towards our lines -- step towards the king. That'll give you some time to advance a pawn into a threatened position."

"I suppose my earliest obligation is toward the children, should the Captain give me permission to embark on that mission. I was under the impression we were expected to repay the ship for our rescue, so it is not clear to me we have a choice." "Additionally, Captain, I have been considering...

I'm not sure "no displays" results in "does not appear to be casting." The concentration required for casting is the same. Perhaps a sense motive check would be required to determine the psionic is manifesting? What's your Bluff?

Zaeryl does not believe they are carrying any ranged weapons.

I may have missed this, so I'm not sure it's really a scoop, but I just noticed that Tome of Treasures on my Amazon Wish List has transformed into "Adventurer's Vault: A Guide to Weapons, Equipment, and Treasure for Your Character."
