    Theme/background

    I just finished listening to the PA Dark Sun podcast (which was hilarious and inspiring) but I was curious about the Theme/background that was mentioned. Tycho says they're something like a paragon path you take at character creation, and I wonder is this something that was introduced in PHB3...

    Warforged in Forgotten Realms?

    Hi! I just bought the FR player's guide, and after skimming through it I found no mention of Warforged anywhere in there. I know that they weren't part of FR in 3.5...but with the rules update and spell plague...I was wondering if they've been mentioned anywhere. ...because I've got this...

    How do you search?

    I noticed that there's a 'most searched tabs' container on the left of my screen, but I can't figure out how I can create a search on these forums. Specifically I'm looking through the gamers seeking gamers forum, and it would be very helpful if I could just search for my state for instance.

    shuriken a superior weapon?

    I don't understand what mechanically is superior about the shuriken. The dagger gives you almost the same capabilities, except the shuriken has 1 square longer range. Far throw (as a feat) gives you +2 squares range, although it requires Str 13 and I understand that for a light thrown weapon...

    Transporting gaming aids

    Based on the advice from a previous thread, I bought some minis (both D&D and pewter Ral Partha), dungeon tiles, a timer, misc tokens, and of course dice. Next is what's used to transport all this stuff to and from all the different tables I visit. I've got some foam mini transporters that...

    Miniatures, and other tableside accessories

    I once had a decent collection of Reaper and Chainmail miniatures that I used with my local group in college. When I left to join the military, I left all that paraphernalia with them. Now I plan on starting up a new group and was thinking about getting new miniatures and other accessories...

    Help me design an airship and airship adventures

    My gaming group and I have talked for a long time about how cool it would be to adventure in an airship. When I think of the kind of encounters I could pull off, well, the sky is the limit! See, even in an airship I'm not above puns :) In any case with the advent of 4th edition we're going to...

    Map-making software

    What are the community's picks for map making software. I'd want something broad enough that I could make a world map, country maps, town maps, and dungeon maps. For the dungeon maps, it wouldn't be necessary, but I'd like something with enough detail that I could print it out and mount it on...

    Help me build and introductory Zombie adventure

    I've got a bunch of friends who've never played any kind of table top RPG, but have fun with some board games like Descent and Arkham Horror. So I'm making a two shot zombie game using d20 modern rules. The objective is to make something that will get them interested in tabletop games in...

    Background Point-Buy

    I want to create a kind of point buy system that allows characters to have backgrounds that effect play. I'm not playing d20 so I don't need specific numbers from that system, but I do need to have a system where the reletive power gained from one point is equal no matter where it's spent...

    Dragon Magazine #341 p82

    I bought this dragon magazine specifically because the sage answers a question on paladins on that page. I can't find it now, can anyone transcribe it so I don't have to buy the magazine again on ebay?

    What is a Paladin?

    What is a Paladin And this isn’t a question of someone who’s new to the game either. I’m not talking about the d20 paladin: I’m not looking for a synopsis of the abilities and level progression, or a collection of stats, what I want to know is the core concept “What is a Paladin.” I’m making...

    Help me with weapon styles and stances

    I've been doing all sorts of home-brew for this upcoming Eberron campaign I'm going to DM with my peeps. Let me give you a little background on what I want to accomplish. First off my buddies and I are huge fans of the tactical feats and weapon styles from Complete Warrior. What we like about...

    Are Half-elves underpowered?

    I'm wondering if the community here thinks that Half-elves are a little weak. If so, what would you do to make them more enticing to players? I've been DMing with a bunch of friends for about 5 years now, and none of us have every rolled up a half-elf...

    Quick Help (from complete Arcane)

    We need to know the name and effects of the feat from the Complete Arcane book, that raises your spellcasting level by 4 (to a maximum of your HD). It's for the game we're playing right now.

    Alternate Charisma Uses

    Of all the stats, I think that Charisma is the least powerful. With the exception of certain classes, there's not a compelling enough reason for my players to favor it over the other "personality" abilities. For fighters and rogues and other classes who don't have inherent class abilities that...

    help with an outdoors character type

    I recently got back from (real life) AF Combat Survival training. It was a ton of fun and I learned a lot of ranger-like stuff including how to hunt small game, how to skill and make pelts, what kinds of plants are edible, how to make a tent out of ponchos, and how to conceal it, and I even ate...

    Anything wrong with this build (other than the DM said no)

    I was messing around with some character concepts when I found this combo of feats: EWP (Bastard Sword) Monkey Grip EWP (heavy weapons) (from Magic of Faerun) The Monkey grip allows you to hold a large sized version in the same way you hold the regular sized version, or in this case a Large...

    drowning a Fire elemental

    I'm trying to create a new spell (it's in the house rules forum; http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=101487) and an interesting point was brought up. Do creatures made of fire suffer any ill effects from being submersed in normal water? I looked around a little, and I didn't find...
