    Calculating Damage

    But obviously not to damage of powers? if 2W is JUST THE DICE... and STR is.. STR.. then where does enchantment bonuses come into play :) might seem weird to bicker about a "+1" to damage (from the example), but its waaay waay more considering some other 3W powers at higher levels with higher...

    Calculating Damage

    Then maybe a 3rd option is in place? 2[W] + str = 2d8+2(str) and no enchantment bonus then? Since it isn't mentioned anywhere? Their bad and useless examples and weird notations really bug me :/

    Calculating Damage

    This might be a noobish Question but i have seaches through alot of entries and examples and haven't found an answer yet: How precisely do you calculate the etc. 2[W] + str .?? Say you have a magic +1 Long Sword and 14 in str 1. Would you deal (1d8+1)+(1d8+1)+2(str) damage or 2...

    Cloak of Invisibility: Best item in the game?

    To get down with it: Is the items Good?: Yes, Very Good.. Nice Item! Is it Broken?: No, not the Least.. Is it leveled/priced inapropritately?: It seems resenable fit for its level. Point to consider: 4e is a Team Game.. nearly seems like you cant run a proper encounter without it being a Team...

    Can vampires go swimming in lakes and oceans unharmed?

    What if the Glass is big, like a Water Tank? 'Bathtub?', Swimming pool? All these are artificial unlike the Usual Water enviroment defines ones. Again, I wouldn't consider a Vampire immersed in the water coming from an aquaduct for Deadly, however Running it might be. I don't think "Running"...

    Can vampires go swimming in lakes and oceans unharmed?

    Flowing Water is not Equal to Running Water... By the definition they merely mean that a Vampire doesn't Drown if he sticks his finger into a Glass of Water... or the glass of Water is poured over him (Temporarily running or not) Hence It is, should be and my interpretation that any Aquatic...

    some questions

    You think of d&d as Computer Game... But rolepalying is so much more.. as stated there's no right or wrong, as Dungeon Master you can change things on the fly, as you please. Most importantly though, is that it is Fantasy.. Imagination ! DM: "The Smelly Green thing runs up to you and tries to...

    Ice/Snow variants for Hobgoblins and Bugbears?

    Difference between Cold subtype, and Cold resistance :) They both resist cold, but only the first takes double damage from opposing element (Fire) Cold resist 1 or even 5 seems Perfect, and not the sleightest unbalancing.

    Casting Defensively versus Attack of Opportunity

    hmm didn't the action work like Dross described in 3.0? and got altered in 3.5?

    Initiative order & multiple attacks.

    Easy: its turn based, you do what YOU want to do on YOUR turn. Hence, you make all your attacks when its your time to do so. After you are done, the initiative moves on and the orcs do whatever they want to do on their turn. Ones actions are NOT split up over the round, like you seem to imply...

    quick ?: how to boost a single spell

    In general heighten Spell feat could offer a fine solution
  14. G

    Skill Focus - Please Critique [Revised: See Version 2.0]

    Do you need heighten spell to make it cost more? Else the "level" part seems mis leading. Maybe you should add a section "This spell can be prepared at higher levels for a greater effect" ?

    Knight's Shield Ally, Shield Other and Damage Resitance.

    in a fullplate and furthermore somehow both have DR... or The Fullplate provides DR ? If the last is the case, then its a houserule, and to solve the problem, a post in the houserule forum might help you tweak the rules for your convenience.. Anyway... For the 2nd Case, the knights DR doesn't...

    Knight's Shield Ally, Shield Other and Damage Resitance.

    Where do you get the DR from? Armor DR? Self made rules?

    Giving +2 worth of class levels to dragons

    The Question didn't go on making the dragon "as strong as possible"... There's no need for min maxing here... Imo fighter levels fits the 'theme' of the dragon encounter waaaay better than barbarian levels. Depending on the dragon ofc, i couldn't really see most dragons fly into a Rage... and...

    What is 'Quick Reconnoiter' used for?

    If you're dying to an invisible opponent, then its always worth it, even if it took a fullround action to locate him ! Very nifty feat this.

    Cost of Ring of Fire Resistance 5 ?

    i woulds say 2k is too low. 4000 seems better to me. Could be reflected by tweaking the "newly made" spell into giving 5 resist at lvl 2 etc. (some kind of progression etc.)
