    Zombie Minions are too weak

    Am I misremembering? I thought zombies were supposed to have some ability to do extra damage to grabbed opponents...

    Question about Combat Challange

    Um. I liked it better when the answers didn't conflict. See, here's the problem. #2 didn't really interpret what I said correctly. I know that the immediate attack isn't going to stop the player. DM: You're marked and you take some damage. PC: I need some healing. Back up! (Moves the mini...

    congratulations - you made it!

    Hey now, don't count your chickens. DnD Insider still says we still have 17 days to turn this messageboard into mutually destructive cliques, flamebaiters, and the emotionally abused.

    Question about Combat Challange

    Okay, a further question on this ability. Does a person who is shifting know that they are going to get attacked when they shift? The whole purpose of a shift is to avoid attack. If they get attacked mid-shift, can they then move their full movement? Or are they stuck with a failed shift...

    Getting healing right

    Thanks for all the help, keterys. Some of these powers really could have used an extra word or two to make things precise.

    Getting healing right

    Okay, so let me get this straight... I am so confused about how healing works. Healing Word Cleric Feature You whisper a brief prayer as divine light washes over your target, helping to mend its wounds. Encounter (Special) ✦ Divine, Healing Special: You can use this power twice per...

    New "confessions" article

    I'm not sure which is more entertaining: reading the article or reading the responses to it. I'm starting to come around to these articles... Not especially due to any content in them. Just because I like watching the gamer community go into fits and hiccups trying to say that she's a girl and...

    Impressions from KotS

    I am a connoisseur of Kool-Aid. Having worn out every flavor of Kool-Aid, I have long since moved on to drinking only Kool-Aid flavor combinations (halvsies and thirdsies). I even draw Kool-Aid men on my pitchers. My Kool-Aid men have ranged from "Oh yeah!" to "Oh really?" to "Help! I'm...

    Anything on what's in the DMG II?

    I'm not entirely certain I know what they're going to fill all of DMG I up with. Much less II. There's a lot of extra space once you take out the prestige classes (paragons and epics are in the PHB) and the magic items (which is now also in the PHB, I think). Weather? Terrain types? DMing...

    Excerpt: Economies [merged]

    That's because astral diamonds are a new denomination of currency. Apparently only accepted at your local Epicmart.

    Excerpt: Economies [merged]

    I love the fact that magic item selling has such a disincentive. You sell for 1/5th the value. Then try to buy something new for 10-40% over value? I can see it now: PC: I want to sell these bracers. Merchant: You don't want to sell those to me. Are they used? Potentially stolen? I'll...

    Epic quests that don't involve saving the world?

    Repair a broken soul. Discover the meaning of life. Imprison the essence of a god. Forge an everlasting peace. Repair the Godblade, a sword of invincibility. Learn the Demispell. Touch the Stone of All-Knowledge.

    No 4th ed D&D computer game...why? :(

    Pools of Radiance 2 sucked. Temple of Elemental Evil was awesome as a pure implementation of the rules. Good god, the combat was fun and HARD. But as a game, it had some problems. The graphics were pretty bad, the menus were pretty annoying, the bugs were pretty frequent. Neverwinter Nights...

    D&D 4E Love It or Leave It: 4E Multiclassing

    Am I not understanding how the wizard training skill works? You get a wizard encounter-level power for one feat? Why wouldn't EVERYBODY dabble in wizard? Screw Dodge. I'm going to get Stoneskin (or the like) for my fighter... That can't be right.

    Any Open Settings?

    The visibility problem I was talking about. I've never even heard of SpirosBlaak until just now (and yeah, it's exactly what I was looking for), and I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about this stuff. It used to be that the only people who could do this product would be Wizards. Now it's...

    Any Open Settings?

    Yeah, not really what I had in mind. I'm not looking for gods alone. I just want the shared understanding that comes with a setting. Published material is, I think, important for this. But of course if I wanted to play on a earth setting, I could do that.

    Battlestar Galactica-Final Season (4) 4/25/08--Escape Velocity

    I think that's the point. It's fairly obvious what the consequences of such a philosophy could be. Especially when it's Baltar saying it.

    Any Open Settings?

    One thing that always kind of bugged me about creating adventures for D&D is that if I want to publish something online or sell it, I'm not really supposed to use the generic D&D gods that everyone recognizes. I just need a death god, people... Why do I need to create my own setting to do...

    Gamer Radio Zero - Races: Choose the Races: D,G,G,H,S

    Gee, that's easy. G - Genasi. G - Gnome. They already said it was going to be there. H - Half-Orc. Anything in the PHB for 3.5e, is an easy guess. As for the remaining two: D - Desmodu. S - Shadar-Kai. Because Wizards of the Coast does not give up.
