    D&D 4E Desired 4E program?

    I, on the other hand, have not found an initiative tracker that does everything I want. Here's what I'd like:An initiative tracker that players can manage. On which players can track the damage they've done to enemies. On which players can load up the effects of their powers BEFORE a game (e.g...

    What do you want from the Monster Manual?

    My first thought has been already stated by others on the first page, and I haven't read the intervening six pages of comments. In addition to a good pic, some solid fluff a la 2e, and a succinct statblock like 4e, I'd like to see some information describing: 1) other creatures that are well...

    Kenku as a "real" playable race

    So is the changeling-like ability. And the fluff in the article is pretty good, too.

    Kenku as a "real" playable race

    For those who haven't seen it, it's here (paywall applies): Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Winning Races: Kenku) For one, I love the notion of the kenku as a playable race. I imagine them hanging out at docks, eyeing a mark, and was inspired to make a charisma...

    Switching DM and being on fire

    Can't xp Brent_Nall. I probably should not encourage him, but I had the very same thought.

    Multiclass Healing

    Even being technical, this argument can go both ways, since the multiclass feat gets you the encounter power as a daily power, and therefore it wouldn't be difficult to argue that you have that encounter power (except that, for that character, it's a daily power). However you come out on the...

    Into the Unknown

    Would xp but can't. Thanks for the review. Can you go into the themes a bit more?

    Feat pickin' time!

    Not that I'm pushing you on this (I think some of the other feats are a better choice, honestly), but if he has an account, he should be able to download all the issues and articles, and keep them even after he's discontinued his account. The updates are public, so you'll be able to access them...

    Feat pickin' time!

    The only feat in that article that's relevant to your warlock character is the one I quoted the full benefit of. The only requirement is that your class have an arcane power source. Should you (and your DM) wish to use the feat, you have all the information about it. Also, the article has...

    Feat pickin' time!

    Yes. The bonuses now scale at levels 11 and 21. A bit less since the article on weapliment expertise feats came out (and was then revised) in Dragon 402. The one that might be relevant for you is: Here's the article: Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Tools of Two...

    Feat pickin' time!

    This is a pretty valuable feat for Warlocks.

    Feat pickin' time!

    The weapon type expertise feats, sadly, only apply "... to weapon attack rolls..." This means that while you can use it for eldritch strike, the bonus will not apply to any implement attacks, unless your DM considers your pact blade's property to turn all your implement attacks into weapon...

    Feat pickin' time!

    I think our posts crossed paths. See my post above.

    Feat pickin' time!

    The armor has the following properties: - You gain an item bonus to Bluff and Intimidate checks equal to this armor’s enhancement bonus. - You gain a +2 item bonus to all defenses against enemies under your Warlock’s Curse. It has the following properties: - When you use a power with the...

    Feat pickin' time!

    I mean afflicted with the dying condition. If you don't drop with some regularity, no need to waste feets on boosting your HP, temp HP, or surges, of which I assume you already have plenty. Feats are the scarcest resource in the game, and there are plenty of good ones. In that case, go with some...

    Feat pickin' time!

    Unless you find yourself on the dying end of fights with some frequency, I would neglect feats that boost your durability. Also, when you go for Eldritch Strike, consider picking up a Staggering Weapon. I'm going to suggest the Arcane Familiar feat, taking Disembodied Hand. Soon, you'll be...

    When does magic loot become too much; how do I fix?

    In addition to echoing what many others have said, I'll add this: unless you're giving out items far above the characters' level (greater than level +5), the characters aren't really going to "break" the game. They'll have more options, but given the inherent limitations imposed by surges...

    Weapon damage added to skill? Noobish dm

    That sounds correct.

    Move interrupted by forced move question

    You can't shift at all if you're prone, unless you take a feat to be able to do so.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hope for an open GSL?

    Even though I distinctly remember it, after some searching I can't find it, so it's possible I'm mistaken. I'll keep looking for it. It was one of his earliest D&D Next articles, if I'm correct.
