Thanks for the response folks. Nice one Aeolius! :) As an aside, the Myconid character would probably be a Warden from PHB2 to fit better with the concept. So, here's what I'm summing up from this thread: Telepathy Spores: The Myconid constantly release spores that, when breathed in by nearby...

Awesome! I can't wait until my gaming group can pull something like this together.

Hi folks, I just saw this posted over on the D&D wiki page (Myconid (4e Race) - D&D Wiki), and have a player that has always really liked Myconids. I'm thinking about throwing it his way as option for the new 4E campaign I want to run. Being that we are all fairly new to 4E, and still learning...

Hi folks, I am about to start running Keep on the Shadowfell for my group, and I want to start them on the road to Winterhaven a bit before the module starts, to give them a chance to have their character's interact. That said, I am trying to figure out a way to set up a background where all...

Hi folks, I was wondering what 4E products offer detail and map out the Points of Light setting. I'm assuming that the non FR or Eberron modules are all set in the PoL setting, but do they reference each other and/or show overland maps that include detail of a large area? What about...

So the feat would just give you: 3 Daily spells for every level of Daily Spells you know. And you would always have 2 Utility Spells for every level of Utility Spell you know, regardless of whether or not you have the Expanded Spellbook feat. The later could be replaced by other powers in...

Hi folks, Reading through the PHB today while trying to make up a second level Wizard character, and I was a little confused regarding how many spells a Wizard has in his spellbook. I took the Expanded Spellbook feat....So I believe I start with three (total) Daily powers at 1st level, and get...

Hi folks, How do you guys justify the various class/race 'powers' in your own low-powered settings? For example, if I wanted to play a game set in a slightly fantastic ancient world of Rome and Egypt, how would you describe/justify the various power functions in that setting? I hope I'm...

That's it. Thanks!

Hi folks, A while back (around the time 4E came out), I stumbled upon a browser-based map drawing program that used D&D tile images. Does anyone know what I am talking about and where I might find it? Thanks!

To clarify, he liked the fact that you had to struggle, and claw your way to higher levels, before you would get the 'payoff'. We never played a campaign past 11th or 12th level, so while he liked the concept, he never achieved that super 'payoff'. So now, he's kind of bitter that he never...

Thanks for all of the responses folks. A few days ago, he was DEAD set against 4E. After showing him some of the books and Dragon articles, he is still somewhat bitter, but he has agreed to make up a character, and run through a few encounters to see what the system 'feels' like. We'll see...

Well, in my buddy's defense, he said that in the old days, you worked, struggled, and tried everything you could to survive as a low-level wizard....and the payoff for all of that was you reaped a power reward if you survived to higher levels. That's another 4E objection....He enjoyed that...

So one of my best gaming buddies is a stubborn guy who I have been playing RPGs with for over two decades. I have a great time with him, and would feel like I was missing something if he wasn't involved in my gaming group. He loves D&D, but is really skeptical about 4E, and says that his main...

Thanks for the reference MerricB!

Thanks for the replies folks. Keep in mind that the sleep spell on the barkeep was just an example off the top of my head. I haven't had to chance to thoroughly read through every power in the books I have.....I just seem to recall when 4E came out that there was some talk of most (if not all)...

Not necessarily....Take the example of a group who enters an inn with a barkeep behind the bar, and no one else in the room....One of the characters casts sleep on the barkeep so they can look around without having to worry about him. I wouldn't consider that a 'combat' situation...especially...

Hi folks, I posted a similar question over on RPG.net, but wanted to get feedback here as well. I haven't played 4E since it first came out, but have started re-reading the rules to see if it's something I want to try and jump into again. That said, I had a quick question about one of the...

Hi folks, Trying to read through the rules for 4E, and couldn't find a reference to whether or not a character could have several rituals 'active' at the same time (assuming the durations all last long enough to account for multiple rituals being performed). Is there a limit? Thanks.

Hi folks, I'm going to be running the Shadowfell module on Thursday, but changing up the starting encounters to better fit the start of a large campaign I am getting underway with 4E. That said, if you are planning to play this module, and haven't already had it spoiled for you, stop reading...
