    Falling Into Water

    I would reduce it by 10' if you weren't prepared for the fall, but by much more (30-40) if you jump or dove.

    Wanted: A female point of view please

    OP, your last post clarified to me better to what you have been asking. Personally I haven't seen the phenomena you are speaking of. The few female players I know either are completely new to RPG's, don't care about editions, or in one case, prefers 3.5. I actually don't know anyone, male or...

    Generic Power Question(s)

    An addendum to Lucky's post: If you right click on your power card on your character sheet in CB, you can choose which weapon attacks will show up on the card. So if you want the melee and the ranged numbers up there, you will probably have to check off the appropriate box for each. They tend...

    First-time DM questions (new to D&D)

    Welcome to the boards and the game!! I would echo those who suggest the Dungeon Masters Guide 2, its a wealth of great information to help your game run smoother. As far as additional books... it kind of depends. DDI is your most cost-effective way to access all the "crunch" put out so far...

    New Essentials Builds!

    Yeah, I don't know if its me, but these are two great articles. They manage to put in some quality (not overpowered I think) options for a lot of builds, essentials and otherwise. Colour me a bit more optimistic for future Dragon articles.

    Magic Items

    Before seeing it in practice (I didn't really play 3/3.5e) I would have said it would nice as a player resource (I am a DM mainly). But after seeing it in action with my 4e game, I might as well just go back to what I have always done...dole out the magic goodies. My player's would not make up...

    How was your first time?

    Early 80's, I was 10 and was introduced to D&D through a volunteer at the local Boys and Girls Club. I think it was 1e, and I made a Wizard named Gandalf the Blue (original non?). The other 2 players played a Fighter and a Cleric. I remember making it to around 3rd level before the group split...

    Calculating Bonus Damage

    Having read the Power, my opinion is that the Effect damage would not NOT get the +3 from the enhancement and feat bonuses. I say this because the damage is in the Effect portion, and is not a separate attack that you are rolling to hit with. It is essentially extra damage from your original...

    Ryan Dancey - D&D in a Death Spiral

    Although I don't disagree with your assertion, this is not what Dancey was referring to in his original post. He was talking about the rulebooks. As far as I have seen the quality of the books has gotten better, reflecting the desires of the customers (more fluff). And the DDI hasn't changed...

    Rules Missing from the Rules Compendium

    I also think Wizards may take this opportunity to revamp the "economy" of the game. Since only common items will be purchasable/creatable by default, they may decide to do away with the million gp shopping trips at epic levels. Basically redo the treasure amounts to a less fantastic level...

    Excellent Jonrog1 interview about the D&D comic!

    PE: Assassin Spoilers

    From a quick read through, this guy seems like a ninja... if ninjas drank sake laced with steroids and laser-beams. Holy crap, does he seem pile on the extra damage. I haven't quite figured out if its balanced or not not yet. (Discrepancy between weapon proficiencies listed in class summary...

    Your favorite pickup game?

    Usually boardgames or watching a movie... The group I play with are over 50% complete newbies to RPGs and couldn't pick up a new ruleset very quickly.
