Using his knowledge of the hunt, his adrenalin pumping, Ferris flanks the small mischief makers, racing through the jungle to encircle them. A low growl escapes his lips and his eyes seem to glow in the shadows. Nature Skill Check=23: Success

Just a quick add-on to the "gf new to RPGs/D&D" discussion. My gf is doing a lot better now, but she still has problems remembering all her options...even with a slew of cards laid out before her. The other DM in my group has an even worse time with his gf... she seems unable to even retain...

Wow..big changes...but I can see how they can exist alongside the previous incarnations. Starting to wonder if anyone will stick with the old builds. Actually I am kind of excited...wondering if these changes will address many of the minor issues I have had with my group of new players.

With the caveat that has been, to me, proven time and time again in the message boards: Not everyone enjoys the same play-style/systems. Many people have already expressed dissatisfaction for builds that eliminate dailes. I am not convinced ANY version of a class would satisfy even a majority...

I also vote for Athletics... with my Nature +13 and Daynas Blessing I'll get 1 auto success.

I think I have finally got it ... apparently my reading comprehension is lacking. Luinnar, you should probably do an Arcana skill check with the +4 Aid Another and Dayna's Blessing if you need it...that should give you a +11 or +13(with DB), basically an auto-success.

Didn't Cyr also succeed on an Aid another roll, bringing the total so far to +6 for Alnar or Jezebel? +8 to Jezebel if Alnar succeeds?

Retconned ... my bad :) So now we have a +6 for Luinnar or Dekana... uh oh...I now see that our best Primary skill of the remaining characters was my Dungeoneering +5... maybe I should reroll Dungeoneering,with the Aid Another bonuses, as an actual Skill check (after Luinnar succeeds on an Aid...

Ferris gazes thoughtfully at the bridge and at the spot where the diminutive assailants disappeared from... What's their game....? Does something about that bridge look off? Aid Another Dungeoneering=21

This looks like big changes to me... and even though I think 4e is a great system as is, I am kinda impressed that they are willing to make changes now (how many 4.5's will we be able to see now) AND still make sure the original forms work. This sounds to me like a good-ole-fashioned AD&D/BECMI...

The Caller: I remember that term from BECMI... I think we actually used it for awhile. I can'r remember which version, but in the beginning of the (players?) book it suggests having a Mapper and a Caller. The caller was essentially the mouthpiece of the party in regards to the DM. It was...

So... we cannot afford a single failure, or we lose the skill challenge, which means ? (we don't know). I am assuming a failed Aid Another does NOT count as a Failure, or else Metavoid wouldn't be suggesting that course of action. Am I reading this situation right? As far as flying... I...

Ferris, noticing Jezebels shivering, quickly attempts to locate a certain bushy fern that when stuffed into her sodden clothing will absorb the moisture and provide an insulation to quickly allow her body heat to dry herself off. Aid Another: Nature (Jezebel)=26 "Jezebel, here, stuff this in...

Ferris quickly gathers his sleep addled wits about him and gathers in the scene. Between the shouts and screams and the primal dance of the firelight it takes a few seconds... After seeing Cyr sprint off into the jungle, apparently after the perpetrators, Ferris tries to judge a likely path of...

I wantz ur miniz!

"I'll take the watch in the darkest part of the night, as my vision is good and I know the jungle fairly well...." Ferris offers... I am up for whatever... Shifter village or heading straight for the ruins...I think the humans are a wash atm, because if we are being played, without proof...

Interesting discussion, and one that struck a chord with me. BECMI was my edition of choice until 4e, and even thought we never quite made it into Companion, I remember devouring the concepts as a DM. Instead of replacing the "dungeon crawl" from lower levels, it merely gave the players a...

Startled out of his reverie and contemplation, Ferris answers Hyrellon, "Hmm... let me try....I think his exact words were..." "One last word of advice adventurers, if you travel northward keep to the banks of the river as much as possible. The forest is full of things that prey on the unwary...

The only change I might make to the RAW is to have the result of choosing weapon breakage an AUTO HIT. In my group, that would get them scavenging for any weapon they can find and hoping for 1's.

Ferris glances at Alnar and nods..."I too remember that Dhakanmirr, the Rripangu Elder suggested we stay close to the riverbank..." Ferris pauses to think. "I think we are being manipulated by someone.... Who would benefit most from this chain of events?" Insight=25 I may have worded that...
