Certain rituals, when requiring a focus, give a specific description of the necessary focus, along with a gp cost. Others, however, simply specify "a focus worth X gp". If a ritual requires an unspecified focus, does the focus still have to be one specific to that ritual, even though it's not...

I recently moved. Before I moved, my gaming group was entirely comprised of my closest friends, and if we weren't playing D&D we'd be spending all of our time together anyway. However, since the move, I haven't been able to reliably hang out with any of my current gaming group outside of D&D for...

Not true. If an Immediate Interrupt power is triggered by an enemy hitting you, or dealing damage to you, and that immediate interrupt invalidates the attack (such as by moving you or the target out of range of the attack), the triggering attack is wasted. That's why it's an immediate interrupt...

Jhaelen hit the nail on the head. Of all of the things in D&D that somone could argue "don't make sense", gaining daily powers after a milestone is far, far, far down on the list. The short answer is, "it just does".

Ooh, I hadn't even thought of that. I'll definitely include the caveat that it does not allow you to move someone who is grabbed.

Well then! :-P

I've never actually played it, but I've heard that the War of the Burning Sky campaign (buyable through this website) is said to be very good. I'm not sure how long it is, but if it's good, you would probably be able to run at least the beginning of it.

Oh, don't worry about it. It just took me a while to get enough diamonds to cast Raise Dead. Seriously though, thanks for the help, everyone! I haven't actually gotten around to this adventure yet, due to not being able to finish our previous adventure for a month longer than I had hoped (Keep...

Since there doesn't seem to be any RAW aside from Bull Rush or moving a grabbed target (and it's not the same as moving an object, as an object isn't moving- a living target is moving, maybe making it more difficult, maybe making it less difficult)- so I've come up with this, and I'm going to...

Oh, absolutely. That especially made sense in this last encounter, because the BBEG was a high priest of Vecna- you know, the god of secrets and whatnot- so he knew all kinds of things about the PCs (especially the fact that his elven spy, who arrived immediately before the PCs to warn him of...

Those only allow one square of movement, correct? In the case of a willing target, I'd simply allow it without a roll- but should the movement be the same, or more?

Are there any rules on moving allies, outside of using a power that grants a move, shift, push, pull, or slide? In our game last night we had an encounter where one PC was in the way of a trap, and another PC wanted to use an action of his to move the other. I didn't know what to do, so I made a...

Thanks for the input, guys! In retrospect, the tactic only worked as well as it did (and it wasn't game-breaking in any capacity) because the two encounters before the BBEG were very minion-heavy, and the group (5 level 3 PCs at the end of Keep on the Shadowfell) were a little higher-level than...

You're carrying over too much from previous editions. The rules don't say it doesn't work across planes, so in this edition, it does. You are, of course, at liberty to add specific restrictions if you feel the situation warrants it. If you're running an adventure with a plane that restricts some...

A few things. First: As Dice4Hire said, the majority of Magic Item Daily Powers honestly aren't that great. You should be looking for properties, with powers being a (situational) bonus. Second: TarionzCousin- that would be a terribly unbalanced item as-written, not only because it would grant...

So, let me preface this by saying that one of my players is a Level 3 Dark Pact Warlock, in case this is an issue that has come up often. The player in question has this nifty Dark Spiral Aura ability. The ability, as I understand it, gives him a point to his Aura for every enemy that is...

Hmm, you seem to be mixing editions here. In 4e, no objects (unless the DM decides it) have any sort of damage resistance- just hit points. It would take a while, but there's nothing RAW stopping a peasant from punching his way through an iron wall.

The way I see it, there shouldn't have been a save involved, and here's why. Using Keep on the Shadowfell as an example (which, I'm assuming, you were playing), if I'm not mistaken, simply being being (or being pushed) in the same square as the Iron Maiden doesn't cause damage to anybody- when...

Hello, Enworld! So, I've finally decided to join the world of the future. I've bought a laptop (a netbook, in particular) and I plan on using it to enhance my 4e game (or at least make keeping track of books & info easier). I'm excited to be able to have all of my books & character sheets at...

Oh, and to the TC: Even if you don't want to spend $15 to update the character builder, you can download the trial for free- it doesn't have every source included, and it only goes up to level 3, but it is AMAZING. The Character Builder, updated or not, is an INVALUABLE resource for making 4e...
