    D&D 4E 4E's math-- what am I missing?

    After my first read through the basic book set, two things became somewhat apparent: 1. As you go up in level, it looks like vs. AC attacks become quickly useless. AC scales at a per level basis for monsters, and to hit only scales at level/2. So by 30th level, you need to come up with an extra...

    Help me figure out grappling

    Okay, I'm running a campaign with a mostly new group of players. We did a little mock combat last week, so people could make a couple adjustments to their characters if things didn't work out right for them. One of my players is doing a grappling monk (so has Improved Grapple), and has Earth's...

    Which Adventure Path to go with?

    I've been platooned into running a second D&D game in the near future by my hobby club. Given that, I wanted a mostly self-contained set of adventures to run this group on, but I also wanted something easy to run, meaning minimal stating-prep for me if time constraints tighten a bit. So I'm...

Out of what I have available, Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil is certainly the biggest and best dungeon...

    Hoplite Combat Feat-- Too strong?

    I'm going to be running a game in the next few weeks that's centered around a Greek style setting. In putting together some NPCs, I noticed that there's very little in the game to support a hoplite fighting style (Large Shield + Spear) I came up with this feat to do so. Does it seems too strong...

    Concentration and casting defensively

    Quick, simple question here, which came up from one of my players w/r/t the new campaign that I am setting up: If you are casting defensively, and you botch your check, I know you lose your spell. Do you also provoke an AoO? I thought no, but my player is sure you do. Which of us is right...

    Ebberon as a Superheroes Campaign

    Alright, this idea is coming a bit out of left field, but I think it may have some sliver of merit, so I was wondering what people thought of it: I've heard alot of people mention that mid to high level D&D sort of pushes away from the strict old-school fantasy genre, and more towards what...
