I'm all for it I don't know that it would have any effect on the decision-making processes at Wizards of the Coast, but I'm all for Linae being hired back at WotC (assuming she desires the position, of course). She always seemed to be knowledgeable and definitely cool under fire. WotC needs...

Welcome! Nope. I think you're more likely to hear choruses of 'welcome' than groans. This is a great community. Okay. Follow this link: D&D Test Drive. It's a free download of an adventure with quick start rules. As to equipment, just dice, pencils, paper, and some imagination. A big grid of...

Because the Eladrin Soldier feat and a magic item's enhancement bonus (and many other damage bonuses) specify damage rolls. You aren't rolling the damage from the Pike Hedge effect; it's just strength modifier.

Inescapable? I wonder if it could be adding in the bonus from the inescapable property on your swords... If that is the case, try equipping a normal +1 short sword in place of the inescapable one and see if that helps.

I suppose that someone missed the fact that the Orb's power is a daily, and no matter how many orbs you have, you can only use a very limited number of item daily powers. I believe at level 22, that would be 3 plus 1/milestone. 240 orbs could only be used with 237 milestones. (Edit to add) It...

Some ideas for your consideration. I would create and budget him as a level 10 (or so) solo. (Use minions and regular soldiers of levels 6-10 to round out the xp budget to the desired difficulty.) Unlike most creatures, however, make his bloodied value something other than 1/2 hit points (like...

Moderator Permission/Opinion Given the kind people in posts 5 and 8 with access to the information, I wonder if a moderator could weigh in on whether it is advisable to post the stat block for the animated statue from the game day adventure. Nothing further about the adventure, just the stats...

Thanks for the replies. Can someone tell me either how to legally and legitimately access that adventure or post up (or email to me) the stat block for that one creature? (If this is inappropriate due to copyright or other legal matters, please don't.) I'd certainly appreciate it ... though my...

I was playing around with the encounter builder tool on D&D Insider, throwing together some encounters for a game Sunday, when I noticed a listing for an Animated Statue (Level 2 Elite Brute). It fits my encounter pretty well, so I'd like to use it. There is one problem, though: I don't know...

Yeah, on second thought, that is a strong possible source of the discrepancy. I just looked up the encounter, and you are spot-on for the tactics. It's a shame when adventure writers can't research the rules for teleport effects (here, I am referring to the general rule about appearing...

Ah, I wasn't aware of that, and the only reference I could find for the Bar-lgura (http://www.enworld.org/cc/converted/outsider/demon/bar-lgura.htm) didn't mention it. Thank you for clearing that up for me; I should know better than to post without a current reference in front of me. Still...

I'm not always the best with rules, but aren't there a few problems with the example demise of the paladin? I would think that the rogue's ability to escape artist out would be at least moderately close to the paladin's ability to out-grapple a bar-lgura. The rogue's escape artist check is...

Many thanks Thanks to all who contributed, especially with pointing out swarm vulnerabilities (Nifft) and using oil (Pell-Mell) and torches (Rystil Arden) as weapons. I'm pretty sure that the party can handle them, especially with the abilities of the sword sage. She has both burning blade and...

I have some low-level PCs that are playing through "The Forgotten Forge" from the Eberron Campaign Setting. One of the first encounters in part three of the adventure is a CR 2 swarm of beetles (diminutive Vermin). I know that swarms of fine or diminutive creatures (like this swarm) are immune...

No Bonus to Hit For me the telling part is this: If you don't hit, then the spell effect is never resolved, so there is no +3 to hit from Shocking Grasp. If you did hit, then you didn't need the +3. (And before anyone asks, I wouldn't allow the +3 to confirm a critical, either. You only...

Another way to shoot down the combo While I disagree with the grammatical interpretation described by Nonlethal Force (since it could also exclude a single classed non-speciallist Wiz 3 (can only cast a single spell each day) with a 12 or 13 Int or a Sor 4 (only knows a single spell), if taken...

Melee and Ranged Weapon Mastery Since daggers are Piercing and Slashing, would it be appropriate to take both Melee Weapon Mastery (Slashing) and Melee Weapon Mastery (Piercing) and have the bonuses stack (+4 attack and damage)? A similar question applies to Ranged Weapon Mastery. Hmmmm....

Sort of... By my reading, the Improved Bind Vestige feat would technically qualify you for the Anima Mage prestige class. Unfortunately, as soon as you took the first level of the prestige class, you would (1) gain the ability to bind vestiges as a normal first level binder, which would (2)...

FR Feat Check in Races of Faerun, I think. The feat is called Jotunbrud, and it doesn't give all the benefits of Powerful Build. It also requires a specific human lineage. Hope that helps.

For those interested in the results and without access to Mathematica or similar programs, this link should be helpful. For the exact problem from Stalker0 and solution given by Rothe, enter (x/6+(x^2)/6+(x^3)/6+(x^4)/6+(x^5)/6+(x^6)/6)^10. You will, upon clicking expand, see exact fraction...
