So I went through the rogue's skill tricks in an effort to generate discussion and feedback. I start with a summary, then my comments on problems and possible fixes. Charming Presence Spend your skill dice to charm a creature if your charisma check succeeds (as the effect, which gives you...

Did anyone else get the impression that the caves were boring? Bonus points if you were a player, not a GM. As a quick background, my group has pretty much always done set-piece style combat encounters with very little roleplaying and exploration. We felt that 4e did set-piece encounters better...

I'd love to see an entire book, or at least chapter devoted to taking the rules of the world into account. Think the Dungeonomicon with more detail for how to run games as the DM: Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible Basically, I want there to be rules of society that would be in place...

I'm working on a homebrewed conversion of Gamma World/4E to a new setting. It's based on an RPG video game, and in this video game, flat-out missing is a lot more rare than it is in D&D. What would happen if I just add, for example, +5 to everyone and everything's attacks, including Monsters...

The Death and Afterlife of Fourthcore | Save Versus Death Sad news for me. I had so much fun running the first Saturday night delve, Revenge of the Iron Lich, but at least (maybe?) the next two in the series are still going to be published. That's what the post implied anyway. Based on what I...

EDIT: Link http://wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ex/20101015 My thoughts: moderately disappointed. The item is no doubt pretty good. +1d10 damage on radiant powers is pretty darn good; seems more like the ultimate weapon of clerics and warpriests and whatnot. Unless getting all radiant...

My current gaming group that I've had for many years at home has only played D&D together, from 2e on up to 4e. Most of us have had brief stints of playing other popular games in other groups (Vampire, Exalted, Spirit of the Century) but in our group it has really only been D&D. That is, until I...

I am suddenly incredibly interested in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, namely the newest (3rd) edition. But, I know almost nothing about Warhammer! Warhammer as I understand it, is its own setting, but is it made to be very flexible like D&D? But, that's just a point of curiosity, because I'd like...

So, I was DMing the adventure in the back of the 3E Eberron campaign guide adapted to 4E, and came across a realization of some flaws in the social skills of D&D. After taking down a warforged named "Cutter," or she runs away and you are left with her victim, the Sharn City Watch run up and ask...

Having played d&d almost exclusively with an all female group, the concept of a male gamer is somewhat foreign to me. In the dozen or so sessions I've played with male players, I've found that male gamers, by virtue of their gender alone, change the gameplay experience dramatically. Most of...

(EDIT: fuzzlewump casts Thread Necromancy! Spell fizzles. Spell fizzles. Spell fizzles. Success!: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/268755-d-d-4th-edition-ashen-crown-dungeon-crawls-2.html#post5108435.) I was looking around for a decent review to the Eberron 4e product...

A few years back I was playing "Temple of Elemental Evil," the psuedo baldur's gate type of RPG for the computer. I haven't played the 'real' module, so my experience is solely based on this game. I wasn't impressed with the game at all, but I remember back then realizing how ridiculous the D&D...

So, I have a pretty basic idea for a campaign that consists of having this 'uncharted' continent that the PCs land on as part of an expedition from 'The King.' The PCs serve as the leaders, probably in a council format. The main conflicts are between the PC's and the harsh environs and natives...

While writing an adventure, one detail I normally gloss over or flat-out ignore is why higher level NPCs don't join the epic struggle that the PCs are involved in. For kick down the door style of play it's less of a problem, but the question still stands as to why higher level adventurers...

Are you supposed to add enhancement/weapon focus/everything but strength/etc to the damage of Rain of Steel? I was thinking it would, because it is a "weapon" power, but I'm not sure given that it is not an "attack" power.

I originally posted this inside the force orb topic, which addressed whether or not you could target the ground with that ability, but realized I went a bit outside of the topic. While I think that if Force Orb was meant to be a straight up area of effect spell, it would have been described as...
