    D&D 5E Red Hand of Doom

    After reading about this celebrated module and now having read through the first bit, I really want to run this for my group as they are almost finished LMoP. Curious if any others have attempted to convert this to 5e yet. Anyone have any advice for running or converting it? Do you think it...

    D&D 5E Lightly Obscured

    Apologies if this has already been addressed, but I cannot find out what the effects are of lightly obscured anywhere in the playtest packet. It is mentioned enough that I assume it has some in-game mechanics associated with it. Anyone find anything?

    Feat stacking

    This has bothered me for awhile, so I am hoping for some input/insight from others to clarify: According to the bonus stacking rules, you cannot stack bonuses of the same type; but even when untyped, to take into account the source. So you have X Expertise giving you a Feat bonus to attack...

    FR Comics Reprinted/Rereleased

    I don't know if this is news, but I couldn't find anything in the site about it. Stumbled across this on Indigo.ca. chapters.indigo.ca: Dungeons & Dragons: Forgotten Realms Classics Volume 1: Jeff Grubb, Rags Morales: Books Dungeons & Dragons: Forgotten Realms Classics Volume 1 by Jeff Grubb...

    Acrobat's Trick-Thief

    Excuse me if this has already been discussed, but doesn't this trick essentially give the Thief a permanent Climb speed if desired? If so, seems a bit overpowered for 1st level, as it can circumvent many of the obstacles a low-level party would have to overcome.

    Kenny vs Cthulu

    Don't know if this has been mentioned, but I couldn't find it in a search. South Park episodes S14E11-12 have been featuring Cthulu as a main villain and showcasing a bit of the lore. "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" is actually said by characters in the show. The story...

    Essentials doing what it was supposed to do?

    I don't know if it is just me, but I have noticed quite a few posts from new 4e players in the last month or so. Not just here but on the WotC forums as well (granted I rarely go there). I know this is only an anecdotal experience, but looking at the forums as a sample of the larger non-forum...

    Battlerager Vigor question.

    I apologize for bringing up such an old issue, but I have tried to find an answer in the archives that satisfies me but I can't. Obviously this is the first time I have played/examined the Battlerager Fighter, and something bugs me. Apparently, absolutely NO THP's stack with this build...

    First off, please understand this isn't a bashing of anyone or anything. I just thought it might be helpful to those running the Adventure Path for the first time. Also, if anyone can prove any of the perceived errors are indeed errors on my part please do so. 4E01: Scouring 1)While the...

    WotBS Samursus' WotBS 4e Campaign

    Last night was the first game in my WotBS Campaign. Just thought I would share some of the highlights for anyone starting it themselves. First of all we have 3 PC's, and I used the DMG 2 Companion rules to have a 5 character party, allowing me to use the encounters as written. After seeing...

    WotBS Quick Question on WotBS #1 4e

    In the back of the Campaign Guide it mentions the effects of the Burning Sky... Firstly it mentions Non-Combat Planar shifts cause 4d6 fire damage... then eventually goes on to a Table which shows damage for distances of 100ft and up... Just wondering what kind of damage was intended for...

    PHB II: Am I The Only One Blown Away By The Art?

    Seriously, I love how they have a separate piece for EVERY different Paragon Path and Epic path. Even though I may not be the biggest fan of each individual artist, I have never seen an RPG book with this amount of quality art.

    How Can You Not Throw a Spear?

    Thread title says it all...no throw range for the spear (or descriptor). Curiously, in the PHB page 232, it mentions +6 perfect hunter’s spear...under Thrown Weapons. I am thinking spears should have a 5/10 range...

    Basic Ranged Attack

    Whats this used for?? In the PHB, it says that OA's only use a melee basic attack...but in the recent (2nd) Penny Arcade podcast, Chris Perkins explains that Magic Missle can be used for OA's... I am so confused...

    D&D 4E Not enough options in 4e?

    As I have read through many different posts I have repeatedly come across the belief that there are not enough powers/feats/weapons/rituals/classes/races/magic items etc ... that there is not enough customization in 4e. People must remember that the core rules are only the first set of core...
