I can believe that the hesitance to release the over-all story arc summary is much...
I have been working over some timing issues with my group, as they are looking at optimizing the duration of "...until the end of your next turn" benefits. I'm pretty sure I saw a thread here regarding using the Delay action and its impact on benefit extension/penalty avoidence.
I believe the...
Good point. Does the following potential complaint re: this resolution have any weight in your eyes?
- Initiative count 5: Fighter moves to the goblin and readies his attack for when his buddy (warlord preparing "Lead the Attack") attacks the goblin.

This came up in a game Wednesday night that I was running:
I had a kobold dragon shield ready a charge to trigger on any PC crossing a given line. A PC declared a charge action against another kobold, the movement portion of which resulted in moving into a square across the triggering line, so...
I'm a little confused as to the ordering or articles on the front page. It seems that the articles are fairly randomly organized. At the moment, the right column, from top-to-bottom, is: July 9th, Today, Yesterday, July 7th, Yesterday, July 6th, July 7th, July 7th...
It's nice as a reader to...
