Hey all, I've been running 13th age for a while now and my group and I are all huge fans of the system. I will say the barbarian spends a lot of time staggered or worse. I thought it might be the player's reckless play style that was sending the barbarian down so often, but now that I'm taking...

Hey all, I'm planning a DREAD scenario (that awesome jenga-using horror game that Piratecat sums up brilliantly in his 'Jenga beat up my dice' thread) and I always get brain lock when it comes time for preparing the questionairres that help the players define their character. I know I can...

One of my players recently added his RPG collection to the shelves in our gaming space, two Ravenloft Campaign setting hardcovers among them, Domains of Dread and the Swords and Sorcery 3rd edition take on the subject. I've never played or even looked into the setting, but I've started flipping...

I was logging into the DDi for the millionth time because it never remembers me and started thinking about all the lackluster and incomplete digital support products WotC has offered over the years. Since they are stripping down every aspect of every edition to get at the heart of the gameplay...

Hey all- I'll be upping an 8th level Dungeon mag scenario from 8th level to 11th level and wondered if I should do anything differently than simply scaling the monsters. Should I add auras or other tropes to make things feel more paragon? Thanks in advance, --Z

Hey all, I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask this, but want to be sure we're handling this right. The fighter characteristic that allows them to take an OA against a marked foe who shifts or attacks a non-marked target is an immediate interrupt and can only be used once per round, correct...

Hey all- So my plan to run the Isle of Dread with the Tomb of Horrors on top of the plateau is moving on to the Tomb portion of the quest, and I am wondering if the Tomb is meant to be run as one long stretch or if the group can take extended rests? The module itself doesn't say. I think...

Hey all- I'm trying to recall the name (or even find a copy of) of an old old 3e I think 3rd party adventure which centered around an arsonist lighting fires in a town while leaving riddler-esque clues for the PC's to decipher. I think it was called 'Caught in the Crossfire' or something like...

Hey all- I have an 8th level paladin in my group with a 17 Cha. Should his Divine Challenge be doing 6 (cha + 3) or 10 (cha + 1/2 level +3) points of damage? CB seems to say 6, which at this level doesn't give the bad guys much pause. also his heavy shield is listed in red when equipped but...

According to the sidebar in my posts, I am Epic Level despite only having enough XP to be level 4. Not really a problem, i'm kind if just here to brag. ;) --Z

Hey all- Pretty basic question here that I'm sure has been asked before. Are there feats, items or other options that allow a paladin to use a weapon as an implement and gain the advantages of such? So use implement powers through a magic sword and gain the enchantment bonus if not the...

Player's in Greg's Eberron campaign 'Corsairs', please stay out! Hey all, In my Eberron campaign, the Mark of Death has been preserved in a khyber shard. The PC's are about to recover it (steps ahead of the Emerald Claw and the Lords of Dust) but you know what? I have no idea who...

Hey all- I wanted to call attention to a project a friend of mine is involved with that's geeky enough to be of interest here and will be premiering at PAX East. Here's the copy: When I Grow Up: It’s Never Too Late to Try Something Crazy Wyvern Theatre Sunday, 12:00pm – 1:00pm Two years...

I was fortunate to find a few uninterrupted hours to work on my 4e campaign, and it almost felt like I was in the 21st century. I am converting the free rpg day module Khyber's Harvest from a 2nd level adventure to 6th level. I took each encounter, examined at the monsters by role and assembled...

Thinking of adding a race of intelligent apes to the jungle setting in my campaign. As this would probably be an RP encounter rather than combat, I'm looking for some inspiration to round out the ape's customs, culture and type of settlement to deepen the encounter. It's 4e, but any older...

Sorry if this is already posted somewhere, but it's a time-sensitive great deal! From Obsidian Portal: "We're a little behind in our fundraising efforts for the Child's Play Charity, so we're going all-in. For the final day of our fund drive, December 31, we're offering free Ascendant time...

Hey all, So I have two PC's running windows 7 and the CB won't work on either one. The pop up window opens, there's a few exchanges between the browser & the site, then nothing. The silverlight countdown never begins. I've cleared cookies and I've reinstalled silverlight, no go so far. It...

Hey all, One of my players in our 4e Eberron game has a shifter paladin of the Silver Flame and is considering changing allegiances to The Traveler. I've looked in the setting guides but I'm not sure why this being is one of the Dark Six or why worship of the Traveler would be a secret thing...

My players are close to issuing a beat down on a spy. Once this is accomplished, they will capture his correspondence. It's not just an exotic language, it's an actual code. Any suggestions on managing this sort of thing in 4e would be welcome. I see a skill challenge, but wonder if there are...

Hey all- Here's a quick question: all the heavy armor PC's a build on the CB have a -2 on their AC and Ref defense calculations. Is this a bug or somehting I'm overlooking? Thanks! here's a summary if you want to import it and see it. ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character...
