Hi folks, Maybe I have missed some info on this, but is there going to be an officially released setting for 4E - as in some kind of definitive hardbound setting book for the 'points of light' setting? I know Forgotten Realms and Eberron material is on the schedule, but I'm wondering about the...

Hi folks, I wanted to get a consensus of what 4E skills you guys are using to cover a couple of skills that were in 3.5. Namely - Ride, and Craft. I'm assuming that in 4E, you look at the action in question, and apply it as an application of another skills - Say Athletics or Acrobatics for...

Hi folks, According to P.275 of the 4E PHB, you "Don't add together bonuses of the same type to the same roll or score. If you have two bonuses of the same type that apply to the same roll or score, use the higher bonus". Does that mean that if you have an Enhancement bonus to your Armor, and...

Hi folks, I like the monster 'recharge' rule in 4E - for example - Dragon's Breath. How drastically do you guys think that would change an encounter with a dragon in 3.5 if you decided to bring that recharge rate in from 4E? Just curious.

I suggest giving it a try. I've played through three sessions of Keep on the Shadowfell (tonight will be the fifth), and I like a lot of what 4E has to offer. I think the only way to give it it's fair due is to try it out. That said, 3.5 is closer to what I want from D&D, so when my gaming...

Hi folks, Other than Bull Rush, what attacks/spells can cause an opponent to be 'moved' on the battlemat during combat? I'm trying to set up some exciting encounters - fought on rope bridges over a chasm, a rock ledge over a gorge filled with lava, a trap room where pits open and close at...

Yes, I meant firing a ranged weapon while being engaged in melee combat. Original post edited. Thanks for the response!

Hi folks, Couple of quick questions. • In 4E, is there any penalty for firing into melee combat with ranged weapons? • Is there anything in 4E which prevents a character/monster from firing a ranged weapon while engaged in melee combat (other than an Attack of Opportunity)? Thanks in advance!

After playing through a combat tonight, a couple of questions came up: 1) Is there any penalty if a character is attempting to use a spell power, provokes an Attack of Opportunity, and takes damage? The rules mention a penalty if the character is dropped to zero HP, but is there a need for a...

Cool. Thanks for the info folks!

Hi folks, Trying to acclimate to the new edition, and am still sifting through the books. In trying to recreate a magic item from my 3.5 campaign, I didn't see anything regarding intelligent weapons in the 4E PHB or DMG....granted, I still haven't fully read through either book. Am I missing...

Hi Gary, I know your spare time is limited these days, but I thought I would ask: Are you still involved in a Lejendary Adventures campaign ? If so, are you running or playing it ? What about Castles & Crusades ? Did you have a chance to play the system before you began writing on the first...

With the announcement that they are releasing products for Castles & Crusades, what is the future of the D20 Judge's Guild line ?

To be upfront about things, I have read through the book, but haven't had a chance to play yet. That said, the only cons I have found with the system is some initial confusion over how the combat system worked (which has been cleared up by a free download PDF on the Mongoose website), and a...

Are there any guidelines out for converting existing D20 and D&D 3.5 material over to the True20 system ? I remember liking it after I purchased the core booking, but found the lack of information on conversion from standard D20 material a bit intimidating.

I think that this is a perfect format grodog. As for the text, I would suggest cleaning up the typos, correcting punctuation, and expanding on the abbreviations. Since the originals will be there for reference, there is no need to go to ridiculous lengths to preserve the integrity of the...

You guys have been taking a lot of heat over OSRIC, but I think it's a cool idea. Good luck to you.

I can't seem to find any of the info I thought I saw posted on this upcoming product yesterday. Does anyone happen to know when this is being released ? Thanks!

I think they are referring to the 'delve format' talked about here on the WoTC website: http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dd/20060317a

Summer of 1985, though I had flipped through several D&D books several years prior to that at a friends house (who'se older brother played), and dreamed of playing long before I got to do so.
