    Some rule clarification please?

    Aha, I did not know about the int :) That seems to sort it all then.

    Some rule clarification please?

    I could just spend some of the 4-6 feats on feats improving my attack rolls and/or reflex defenses, and I'd be on equal ground again (likely with feats to spare). From what I read, the feat "Lightning Reflexes" still exists (+2 reflex defense), so that's halfway there. The penalty of wearing...

    Some rule clarification please?

    What would prevent anyone from using a plate mail right off the bat? And if 15 strength is the requirement for the feat, but you can wear the thing without the feat (at a penalty), that won't prevent anyone from equipping it either. The only negative in NOT having all those feats and meeting...

    D&D 4E 4E Liker - anything you worry about?

    I shared these concerns (even made a post about it), but having played it a few times now without grids (only once did we draw a rough sketch of a combat area), 4E can be played without a battlegrid/minis. Many, many powers however are clearly wargame related, like the "teleport x squares" and...

    D&D 4E 4e questions after a playtest

    Thanks for the swift replies! The lack of -4 would have made every encounter soooo much easier for the player's, and they already pretty much burned through everything with little trouble. We had one encounter (skeletons in the tomb) where a player was at 0 hit points, and 2 went down on...

    D&D 4E 4e questions after a playtest

    We played Raiders of Oakhurst Reloaded, and it was very fun for all. However, questions arose, simple ones at that: 1) Firing/casting spells into melee. We collectively agreed on the usual -4 to hit if the ranger shot into melee or casters wanted to strike targets in melee. Is there any...

    Drawings for my novels - request for artists

    I'd say 1/4 - 1/2 page drawings. They can of course be scaled afterwards too, if needed. Preferably B&W I think, since if this gets anywhere, there is little chance for colour on the pages.

    Drawings for my novels - request for artists

    Does no one have some simple drawings I might use? I'm thinking simple stuff, like a flag, a sword, a small bunch of people in a forest clearing (with no facial details etc, just the impression of some people) or similar. Or perhaps someone willing to make some?

    Drawings for my novels - request for artists

    Hello everyone, I am in the process of the final editing of two fantasy novels. The first book in particular is almost ready to be sent to various agents, but I'd like to have a few black and white drawings to open some of the chapters before I ship it off. I was wondering if anyone had a bunch...

    Scared about squares

    Thanks for all the replies. I listened to the podcast and read all this, and I've become less scared of squares from reading it. However, to all the questions about "How do you figure out the cone area.." etc, well, we merely ask the GM/comminucate, consider stuff through talking and...

    Scared about squares

    Well, "Effect: Until the end of the encounter, the target cannot shift if at least two of your allies (or you and one ally) are adjacent to it." has several tactical elements to it that seems to imply a battlemap and lots of detailed positioning. Perhaps I have a lower threshold for seeing this...

    Scared about squares

    I can't find any other threads either, because I can't for the life of me find the search feature :S For the record, I never mentioned that my alternative to 4e was 3e. We play a lot of different games, D&D one of them. If anyone could direct me to these articles/discussions etc. I'd greatly...

    Please delete -I got informed this was a pay feature :S

    Scared about squares

    So I have been reading a lot about 4E the last few days. I really like most of what I see, but one thing sets me off more than anything - squares. Grids, slides, adjacent foes and all the other wargaming aspects. I play Warhammer, where I get to do all this, but I prefer my D&D entirely without...

    Fantasy Flight Games is having another sale . . .

    Just ordered City Works, Dragonstar Guide, Guide to the Galaxy and Cthulhu: Nocturnal.. $20 for the books, $33 for shipping ;-) $53 total for four books is still okay though.

    EBERREJECTED? Let's share our sumbissions.

    Well, here is my ten-pager. I haven't provided the synopsis, as there are a few ideas there I am using for another project. Let me know what you think :-) I am reading through all the others at the moment, and especially like Ranger and Wulf's so far. I think the Eberron feel they sought is...

    Eberron Novel Open Call - response

    I know, but I was curious if they might have sent the letters out in batches.. Say, one guy received a rejection back in december, while others got them in febuary, indicating different considerations from WotC to different proposals. Also, if anyone had gotten critique or other feedback from...
