    Revision to Dragon article Class Act Rangers?!

    yep! :) Shame they don't do this for *all* the dragon / dungeon errors, though! (many are not even fixed before the end-of-month compilation :( )

    Warlocks and Forced Teleportation

    +1d10 per 10ft drop isn't "big"? It is very easy to double the damage, and not hard to go over and beyond that! With a quick look through the PHB alone, I also found: Summons of Khirad Maelstrom of Chaos Dark Transport Elemental Maw Six in the PHB. More, definitely, when you look at other...

    Review of the Eberron Campaign Guide...

    Yes, I was very disappointed that there weren't another two or so forms of shifters in the Eberron Player's Guide.

    Warlocks and Forced Teleportation

    Ah, but it is made to be personal, too ;) Go look at my first post in this thread. The rules are all written assuming you are teleporting yourself.

    Warlocks and Forced Teleportation

    Just a quick aside - it is the person doing the teleport that must see the start / finish locations. If you are blind, you cannot teleport, you cannot teleport someone else, but you still can be teleported. So it is not the one teleporting that needs to follow the rules, but the one making the...

    Trigger: You are hit by an attack

    ah, Shielding Shades! :p Bah! :blush: serves me right for posting whilst still sick-groggy!

    Warlocks and Forced Teleportation

    I would follow the "Forced Movement" rules for agressive teleportation. (PHB p285). Specifically, "You can choose to move the target fewer squares or not to move it at all. You can’t move the target vertically." The teleportation rules as given in the PHB are for personal teleportation (note...

    Minions: What Bugs You?

    High-level monsters with 1 hp Possibly fixed by giving minions some standard DR. 1/2 or 1/3 of their level might work, so that the upper-level guys won't die when you sneeze at them. Automatic damage automatically kills a minion I was considering a rule that you only could damage a minion...

    Trigger: You are hit by an attack

    Shield is an "Immediate Interrupt", not reaction.

    Double Scimitar - why so poor?

    Hah! :) indeed. I was going to suggest "how many magical items of any sort", personally :p At the moment, I guess I will just go with teo scimitars, and ask the DM to tool it as a double weapon. No mechanical benefit, just a great feel for the character!

    minis and battlemats or not?

    ...how? :erm: I cannot fathom how using rigid, point-of-reference material would bring in any where near as many problems as it solves. As mentioned above, it clarifies where enemies are, how a fighter can get in between danger and his squishy friends, where to aim spells to hit enemies and...

    Double Scimitar - why so poor?

    Hrmm...but why would they need to throw it away? As mentioned, going from one character wielding two of the other weapons to one character wielding the double weapon, none of the other cases loose anything. Only the double scimitar has the loss.

    Double Scimitar - why so poor?

    Yeah, they are bad, but then why isn't the double scimitar equally as bad? :p

    Double Scimitar - why so poor?

    For background: Longsword: +3, d8, versatile Double Sword: +3, d8/d8 (looses versatile) Flail: +2, d10 Double Flail: +2, d10/d10 (doesn't loose anything) Battleaxe: +2, d10, versatile Double Axe: +2, d10/d10 (looses versatile) And now we have: Scimitar: +2, d8, high crit Double Scimitar...

    minis and battlemats or not?

    Gotta use a battlemap and minis, as I am too engineeringly-minded. Abstract descriptions of things just don't cut it, and ultimately, any game that tries, runs into the "No, I meant I was over here" problem, where what is inside one person's head simply doesn't mesh with what is inside...

    DMing with a White Board

    I made my own board, too. Blank white cardboard, ruled up a grid on each side, then contacted both sides (no access to a laminator). Works well!

    I really don't like the Compendium links in articles.

    Is everyone who is upset with these changes emailing the DnDi feedback email, and letting them know, in a nice manner, of the errors and problems with the changes?

    I really don't like the Compendium links in articles.

    That's a bit over the top. How much time does a little copy-and-pasting take, when they have all the resources in front of them? Hey, if I could create a pdf looking like theirs, I would make one for myself from the psions powers (and wouldn't get paid!) Simply, the pdf they gave is very...

    New PH3 Class....The Psion!

    Anyone else annoyed with the new setup? I mean, not having the powers actually described in the pdf, and only having links to the compendium? With them written in the pdf, i could skim through it, and easily compare different power options. Now, I have the choice of ckicking many, many links...

    How long do you spend preparing a game?

    We only play once a month, and over that month, I easily will spend a t least 10 hours preparing, tweaking, organising, creating, writing, and generally setting things up. Playing 3.75 here (that is, 3.5, with a lot of rules from 4e for the DM's side)
