I've run into this problem at a couple RPGA events I've DMed. We tried to find an answer quickly at the table but couldn't. This issue at hand was that someone had Resist Fire 2 and the damage they took was "10 fire and necrotic damage". Does that person need resistance to both types of...

I'm thinking Melee Training is almost as bad as the Weapon/Implement Expertise feat that many are finding either overpowered or such a no-brainer that it actually diminishes the real number of choices people have. Prior to this, you had to balance (if you wanted) your Con and Str to keep your...

I'm looking to start a 4th edition D&D campaign and need a couple more players. We play Sunday afternoons 1 or 2 times per month at my house in Windsor's east side. I've got lots of minis and maps and even dice -- just need players, hopefully with a new Player's Handbook but not necessary. We...

I'm trying to find more players but right now I've only got 3 for a brand new 4th edition D&D campaign. We've wrapped up our 3.5 campaign where 2 players ran 2 characters while 1 player just ran 1. I want this campaign to have a bit more roleplaying so just want everyone to have 1 character...

My name is Dan. My wife and I are looking to jump aboard a 4th edition game, though we could probably play any edition. I'm a long time player, off and on for most of 30 years. My wife is a fairly new player but a long-time avid Fantasy reader. We are both in our 40s but could fit in with...

I'm a DM and I've given my players an Iron Flask with a Vrock Demon inside. After an Identify spell they've decided they'll: Summon it and control it for 1 hour. After 58 minutes have it sit there and have it start making saves to get put back in the Iron Flask. Once back inside, they'll just...

We're looking to possibly have some larger battles occur in our campaign where the player characters might be present. What we're looking for is some help in running the battles and what might be involved. Has anyone tried the Mass Battles from the Miniatures Handbook? What about the Heroes...

Our DM is trying to come up with a limit on how many items we can have handy and how many we'd have to fish out of a backpack (or some other full round action). His preliminary number is 10 items for someone heavily armored and 12 items for someone not armored. This would include weapons...

I had a situation in my game from a couple weeks ago and wondered if we played it correctly. I had a couple Gnolls with speed 20 running away from the party, the fastest of whom had speed 30. Assuming a 10 foot wide corrdor and the gnolls side by side, is there any way the party could actually...

I'm starting a D&D campaign set in Middle Earth about 50-60 years after the destruction of the Ring. What I'm wondering is if anyone has done any work on what kind of domains the various Valar would have.

I've got a question or two about shooting into melee. Our DM originally had a chance to hit friendlies if you shot into melee. Then, after we played D&D Miniatures, we questioned if there were ANY chance to hit friendlies in melee as there is no chance of that in the Miniatures game...

I'm looking for some party friendly (no frenzied berserkers) fighter builds using 3.0 rules plus the 5 or so prestige class splat books. I'm looking for a melee monster mostly unless someone can convince me the Deepwood Sniper/Order of the Bow Initiate/(Arcane Archer?) is really good. Of...

I'm a Halfling 5/1 Wizard/Rogue and am considering taking my next 2 levels in Rogue so as to qualify to be an Arcane Trickster Prestige class (from the Tomb of Blood supplement). Does anyone think the Arcance Trickster is decent? The rest of the party is 2/4 Fighter/Cleric, 6 Fighter, 6 Ranger...

The party I'm adventuring with is in very dire straits and I'd welcome any suggestions on how to escape our situation. We're in the Temple of Elemental Evil (please don't post any spoilers!!!!!!) on the first level. We have just fought off a group of ghouls and ghasts that has left the party...

I'm fairly new to 3ed but have played AD&D since '80 or so. My character is only level 2 but I'd like to know what feats and skills I should get. So far I have Improved Initiative, Power Attack and Weapon Focus: Great Sword. I have 19 strength with my other stats pretty average...

We've just hard a bard in our party reach second level and we wanted to know if he could cast first level spells. Instead of -- it has 0 under spells per day. If he can't, why is he given a number of first level spells on the "spells known" table? I mean, why would he know spells he doesn't...
