Yay Channel Divinity: Melora! *Is it me, or are the Dragon and Dungeon articles becoming more and more palatable these days? I mean, almost every article next month interests me!

We just got Dragon 397 & 398 content in, look for the new themes in next months update.

Just wanted to point out: The rules are explicit in this matter. Improvised one-handed ranged weapon Cost: — gp Damage: 1d4 Range: 5/10 Weight: 1 lb. Improvised weapons include anything you happen to pick up, from a rock to a chair. Other than that, yeah, dude has issues.

Nicely done...evocative.

Ahhh Mystara, how I have missed ye.

The review was pretty much dead on. I played the XBLA demo and the reviewer basically read my mind. So sad... I know not everyone can be Bioware or Blizzard, but... come on! Have some pride in what you do Atari!!

For all those really unhappy with the Animal Master, keep in mind, that I know MANY players who would snap it up in its current incarnation. Just to be able to have a pet that can occasionally help out in battle (ala Beastmaster) without actually having to deal with the action economies of BM...

Not so simple. The fights in general were way too laggy and there were specific issues with solos and soldiers I believe. So the expertise feats dealt with the specific issues of being able to hit (math adjustment to maintain a "sweet spot" throughout the levels) and the monster adjustments...

Well, I made it to the 3rd page (around 60 posts) of this thread and realized it essentially people debating the merits and defending play styles. Thats what we do :) Personally, when I DM games I do it to tell my players a cool story, and my players bought into that paradigm. I allow them to...

We call this a "hobo crit".

The reason the OMB was released in its current incomplete state was, I believe, to facilitate its use into the Virtual Table Beta. Unfortunately, this was a bad choice for them to make.

This was a great article... kudos to the author... and more of the type of quality I would like to see in DDI. I may never use it, but it makes me *want* to!

I don't know if it has anything to do with the update, but today, for the first time, the pages were loading up almost instantaneously for me! Lets hope this has something to do with the update.

As others have said regarding xp budgets. However, I would like to suggest using this time to emphasizes plot and RP while the player has your undivided attention (if you think they would enjoy such things of course). Once your group expands, you may never get the chance to to so again...

When will the full player's guide be out? The setting, so far, has me intrigued.

Look into Masterwork armour in PHB I think. Once you start using +3 or better armour, the base armour changes. For example: the +3 armour in question would be Braidmail (+8 AC bonus). I believe this was done to address a math issue at higher levels. The CB would automatically assign the...

Firstly, I would suggest that couches are fine for now. As for a surface, if you have all the bells and whistles you suggested, I would also go with the ping-pong table. Encourage players to bring their own portable seating if they have and prefer it. As time goes by, and finances allow, by...

Ohhhhh... I have been misinterpreting that part. Thanks guys!

I generally thought the same until I read this in the Compendium (emphasis mine): "A number added to a die roll. If a bonus has a type (such as a power or a feat bonus), the bonus is not cumulative with bonuses of the same type; only the highest bonus applies. Bonuses that have no type are...

This has bothered me for awhile, so I am hoping for some input/insight from others to clarify: According to the bonus stacking rules, you cannot stack bonuses of the same type; but even when untyped, to take into account the source. So you have X Expertise giving you a Feat bonus to attack...
