I got a 19!

I groove the rituals as-is; with one exception. There are several rituals that radically alter the game-world they exist in... I only allow certain ones and basicly heavily tailor them to fit my homebrew campaign. I suppose it's a bit of a simulationist issue - but seriously if there are such...

the whisperknife pp has an ability called "dagger threat" -- You don't provoke OA's when you make a ranged attack with a light blade. -- My question is, would a bard get this benefit using a songblade-enchanted-light blade to make a ranged implement attack? (provided he took the pp etc)

What if I told you... I did! Is it about dnd? Not really, it is a super hero-comedy/horror ... BUT one of the main characters is a dnd nerd, there is a dnd theme song and some dnd cartoon illustrations. check it out at Jessbot3000 the movie or look up "jessbot3000" on youtube YouTube -...

Good one. I'd have it be a dungeon self destruct mechanism, with the secret door being a console to deactivate the countdown. Players either try and jam the system, or run for it.

DM: uh-oh gang, someone or something has thrown the switch and your train is headed to craptown instead of awesomopolis! Player: I shoot the switch lever from the train, WOW natural 20! I saved the day! DM: um, yeah actually the signs were just switched. now your heading for craptown for...

Is that a thread still going ... after two years? WTF... is there some legend behind it? Kripes thats insane.

Personally I loathe the krenshar. I don't really care about its stats... it's just the dumbest, lamest excuse for a monster ever. There's a lot of silly creatures out there, but the krenshar is the perfect blend of stupid, lazy and stale monster design. A lion that pulls its face inside out...

Ahh, the unspoken extra cost of ddi... it is a huge waste of ink. After the initial shock though, it feels kind of bling drenching a sheet with class. Thick, black, chunks of class. I go with the CB math, even if it misses some weird combo. Kind of ironic to have a house rule to follow...

right on thanks for the story! As I was imagining, you got looted... hilarious. It'd be cool if there was a bingo card or something we could fill out when someone gets killed to death on these forums.

Amen. For all the complaints about wotc (deserved or no) I gotta say I'm very impressed they managed to pull off ddi. I use it more or less exclusively now, and the number of books I'm purchasing has gone down (3rd party products are waaaay out). Now my game money is still flowing, but into...

hey freeX, plz let us know what happens to this dwarf guy in the next session... as for your elf, did the rest of the party retrieve your body or did they just look down the cliff and shrug?

Wizard of the spiral tower PP has an ability called "shape the dream" which makes it so an attack that targets your will is considered to have not happened (though still expended). I'd reccomend pouring through the monster builder if you're looking for a "workhorse" effect as opposed to a...

Meh, I'd never insist a someone play with a CB sheet if she didn't want to, just that a copy of the character was printed out with the CB for my own reference at the very least. If worse came to worse I'd just do it myself. Again, super weirdo dm's in the OP are being lame IMO. My group had...

If I were to run published modules only, pathfinder would be the obvious choice. Even with their most cliche plot lines they pull off the highest quality adventures out there (with the best art too).

regarding the actual question/topic: If I did not have access to dnd insider, I would most likely not play 4e. I just can't go back. I'd make some messed up mutant hybrid of 3.5 and 4. If I'm going to be drowned in fiddly bits they might as well be home brewed.

I don't think it is weird to insist all characters are printed out via CB. But that is super whack if they are not providing access to the CB for you, or will not input your home-made sheet into a laptop or something. -- If you do have access to it but just don't wanna; have you considered...

Vampires. They've got all the tools to survive combats, sew plot seeds and have a personality, all while enjoying the players built in fear of vampires. Plus their "victory" can be a lot of different things other than character death. Even character death presents a twist as the players may...

Every 4 or 5 sessions the party comes across a magic-item store where they can buy everything from the CB, shipping and handling dealt with by epic level mercantile powers. More often, they run into a merchant with a specific list of items that they can buy or even steal - and more importantly...

is anyone else going crazy reading the wrongest wrong people in all the lands of wrongdom just not get it? edit: lol i just read this on another thread...
