    Jump in Combat

    Jump over difficult terrain, so your movement isn't penalized. Chargers should focus on Jump. According to the FAQ and the Rules Compendium, if you can jump over an obstacle, then it won't break your charge. Heh, my dwarven barbarian/spirit shaman jumped over a large umber hulk to charge the...

    How do you use knowledge skills?

    From my house rules... Knowledge checks can be rerolled if your character does some research. Use a source of information, such as a library, that grants a bonus to the knowledge check that you want to make. You can then make a new knowledge check afterward. Research normally take four hours of...

    Ah we finally learn Mialee's Sex!

    Well, that's why she's enervating dragons to death for their horde instead of winning beauty pageants. Then she can spend the next 600 years getting sensual massages from hot young humanoids regardless how she looks.

    Spiked chain question

    As a DM, I like making the spiked chain the cultural weapon of the opposing force. Every mook of culture X has one.

    How Come Every Cop Show Feartures a Chaotic Aligned Character?

    If you haven't seen it yet, check out Hot Fuzz. The main character Nick Angel is my new mental iconic for what a paladin is like.

    Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad goes to Greyhawk

    If you want to run a riot, check out the mob rules in the Dungeon Master's Guide II. And yes, the Demonscar adventure in Shackled City is an example of a mob encounter. As mobs attack the town hall and the town guards. BTW, the ability to create a mob would be something that a mid level bard...

    Player canceling late

    Role playing games are leisure, but they do require a commitment from player to attend for the game to function. It is different than getting together to watch a football game or meet at a bar for drinks. If a person is not willing to commit to the game, then they shouldn't play. It's just like...

    Why do you choose D&D?

    At the end of 2nd edition AD&D, I was desperately choosing anything other than D&D. Although i was still playing in a AD&D campaign and did a little RPGA, I was also playing Champions, GURPS, DC Heroes, DC Universe, Deadlands, Call of Cthulhu, etc. But I rolled a "1" on my save vs 3e. I fell in...

    Leatherbound Core Rulebooks - Do They Have Errata?

    Of course you could simply treat your gaming books like a text book and mark it up with errata in the margins, then highlighted. I hate to tell you this, but they are not mint condition anymore. :) Might as well do what you want with them.

    This would be a good use of sleight of hand. To touch someone without them knowing it.

    Suggestions for a caravan campaign?

    The caravan should encounter obstacles to overcome. A destroyed bridge. An enormous tree that has fallen across the road. They should also deal with varying environments. Rain, Snow, Wind, all of those environmental effects listed in the DMG. They should encounter a faerie holiday. When the...

    Sentient gem from outer space

    That's a little something I wrote around ten years ago, when I was creating an origin for a DC Heroes character. It was some silly brainstorming I did before I hammered out his real history. And, yes, it does involve an alien gem.

    Sentient gem from outer space

    This is the story of Jason Andrews. When Jason was a young lad he was quite content frolicking in the fields during summertime. One day, a mean ol’ bad person came over and took his fields away. Jason was really sad. Really he was. Then Jason said “Gosh, if I don’t do something, I won’t...

    Sneak Attack and Uncanny Dodge

    From d20srd.org: So, my question is: does uncanny dodge negate sneak attacks when are in a situation that denies your dex bonus? It seems like it would. I want to be sure.
