    Problems Parsing a Pair of Psionic Powers

    I've recently made a new battlemind, and I'm having trouble understanding how 2 of my at-wills work. 1) Twisted Eye (PHBIII, P.45) reads: Is the size of the penalty determined when I score the hit, or when the enemy makes an attack? Example: Me and 3 of my allies are adjacent to a goblin when...

    New web-based content?

    Back when there was the ton of hoopla over the missed DDI update, I recall hearing that there were rumors of 'new web-based content' coming to DDI, and that's about all the detail I ever heard. Then my prospects for getting a game going faded, so I stopped following the boards here. Have we...

    Best Adventure Path?

    Hi there folks, The D&D bug is getting to me once again, and once again, it means I'll have to DM if I want a game. Something I've noticed with my games is that they're best when I'm running a premade adventure; when I'm improvising and building towards my overarching plotline, they get linear...

    Power Cards, Cheat Sheets, and the Wii: Why I want legal PDFs

    Power Cards: I make power cards for all my PCs using Magic Set Editor. With legal PDFs, I can copy and paste the text from the PDF to MSE, saving me a lot of prepwork. I could also do this with Insider, but that's a monthly fee rather than a one-time payment. With a book, I have to have it on my...

    Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes on Death Saving Throws?

    1) IIRC, it can be used on saving throws. Death Saving Throws are saving throws. So you can use MoTL on them, right? 2) If you boost your result to or above 20, do you get to trigger your second wind?

    Free Standees from Gnome Stew to You! - Gnome Stew, the Game Mastering Blog It's a PDF. Load the image of your choice for each side of the standy, and print the document.

    Enhanced Resistive Formula: Absurdly OP?

    Is it just me, or is this...utterly ridiculous? It grants 2 party members more than HS Value in temporary hit points. You can do this twice per encounter. What were they thinking?

    Creating/adjusting Figurines of Wondrous Power?

    Does anyone have any guidelines for creating new figurines of wondrous power, or adjusting existing ones? I'm looking at the Ironwood Hound (Level 10) from Dungeon #160, Page 54. I'd like to make it a Level 13 item, but I'm unsure what adjustments I should give it. Better attacks, defenses, and...

    Problems with Dungeon Tiles

    I just got a set of [DU3] Dungeon Tiles: Caves of Carnage from my local bookstore. New copy, still shrinkwrapped, none of the pieces punched out - until I came home and started punching them out, that is. Sheet 2, which is underground rivers on one side and cave floors with rubble on the other...

    Alternatives to Alea Tools?

    I'll be starting a 4th Edition D&D game in September, and I've been considering picking up some Alea Tools. The trouble is, I live in Canada, and with their already high shipping fees, plus an extra charge for international shipping, I'm looking at $20 in shipping fees alone on this order...

    [FRCG] Sharn - Overpowered?

    Reference: Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, P. 266. The Sharn is a Level 12 Solo Artillery. It seems to me that it is tougher than its level indicates. Let us compare it to another level 12 solo monster. Adult Gray Dragon, Level 12 Solo Soldier, Draconomicon, p.174 The sharn has more hit...

    Trap: The Necrototem

    Inspiration for this trap is from Kael's Fall from Heaven mod for Civilization IV. The flavor has been adapted to the generic 4E campaign setting. Due to the lack of trap creation guidelines in the DMG, the numbers are based on the examples contained therein. The effect is straight from the...

    Death & Dying Idea

    DISCLAIMER: I have no idea how Death & Dying currently works or will work in 4E. The only thing I've seen is the article here: http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drdd/20080201a Here's how I've been running it in some test combats (haven't gotten my PCs together yet): Keep track of your...

    Compiled Conditions List - UPDATED, REFORMATTED

    This is a compiled 4th Edition Conditions list I've made up from various sources, in alphabetical order. Most of it is from the new D&D Miniatures Rules. "From a D&D Experience Report" means I got it from someone on the internet who is attending D&D Experience, or at least says they are (I...
