Part of RPGing is the reaction both the players and the DM take to the rolls? I wonder how many people agree that there are three components that are being talked about here: There is role-playing : This is the story the DM tells, the creatures he decides to pit against the heroes and the...

I'll put a vote down for FGII. They have done some really great things with their 4e ruleset.

I had a few moments to play around with this last night. Let me preface that I have used Fantasy Grounds for the past three to four years. So I'm a little biased/spoiled by what I am already able to do through that virtual table. Here are few initial thoughts: ** The drag and drop of the tiles...

I put my vote down for Fantasy Grounds 2 with the 4e ruleset. In combination with the 4e parser it is a very nice program with solid support. Yeah, it costs $ but so far over the 4 to 5 years I have been using it as a DM it has been worth it.

To me there needs to be some middle ground here. If the ring is important in some way then there should be some sort of detailed description. If it is not important the DM can allow the player to make up a description. Maybe somewhere further on in the campaign the DM can use what the player...

I don't need a ton of buy-in. I have been gaming with the same set of guys since high school (we're all 38 now.) We pretty much know what we all like and they know how I run things. Mainly I get something set out for them and give them the general idea of the campaign. (I've had only one time...

Maybe a feat could be created to allow for that? However I wonder how many would actually spend a feat on something that just isn't used that often. Or what about a critical hit allowing a character to push 2 and do 2x STR damage?

Bull Rush seems like it needs just a little bit more added to it. In addition to its usual ability it should also do STR damage on a hit. Thoughts?

Absolutely! The combat tracker is a great tool. For our 4e games the ability to drag effects onto characters/monsters in the combat tracker really cuts down on trying to remember who was marked/dazed/stunned/restrained/has ongoing damage etc. and for how long it is going to last. Just drag the...

I've been using Fantasy Grounds for 3 years now. Nice piece of software. Used it with Midnight (3.5 D&D Fantasy Flight Games) and for the past two years 4th Edition but it is flexible to enough to use with any system. It does its job well and it has good support and the guys who run the company...

Do you mean Shield Riposte? Draco, what Paragon level daily utility power?

Ah, yes ... Martyr's Blessing Paladin Utility 2. Hmm, that is considered a Daily Power. Close Burst 1. This makes me think that what I was thinking with Defenders Prowess might be too powerful. Martyr's Blessing just transfers the damage to the Paladin and it's a daily power. Defenders...

Yeah, it would take the place of Combat Superiority/Agility. I am not sure if the fighter feature is too powerful but having to have the enemy be marked might be a good way to tone it down. It could also be moved from an At-Will to an Encounter.

Defenders Prowess You have a keen ability to get yourself between your allies and those who want to harm them. Encounter * Martial Immediate Interrupt Melee 1 Trigger: An attack on an adjacent ally. You must declare you are using this power before the attack roll is made. Effect: You...

Wil Wheaton (playing himself) has also been on the show as an antagonist to Sheldon. Funny stuff.

Are conditions considered specific or general rules? If they are considered general rules wouldn't the specifics of the Storm Walk Sorcerer spell with the line Effect: Before or after the attack, you shift 1 square beat the general condition?

Thanks.

Out of curiousity does it say that anywhere officially?

My group had a moment where a sorcerer was restrained by an Ettercap Webspinner. On his next turn he used Storm Walk which allows him to shift as part of the power. Restrained states "You can't be forced to moce by a pull, a push or a slide" and in addition you are immobilized which means you...

Thanks for the clarification. I've got to make sure I read things a little more closely.
