As a cheapskate gamer, I was hoping once the DMG was released that a boxed (sleeved?) set would soon follow, one that might have a lower price than buying all 3 individually for $90+ on Amazon. (Yes, I was spoiled by getting my 4E boxed set for $65 on Amazon)

So, I just finished a pickup game at a FLGS and one of the players brought an 8th level Human Pacifist Healer. He was dealing out surge + 6d6 + Wis + Cha each healing word. One fighter got healed for surge + 42hp one time. DM & other at the table didn't question it as they'd all played together...

Did the RPG database that used to be hosted at pen-paper.net get moved somewhere else? Is there an alternative?

I was just reading through the Tarrasque's Earthbinding aura (target's maximum altitude reduced to 20 feet (putting it within the tarrasque’s reach)) and wondered at the weirdness of the assumption that a creature would have to be brought to an altitude of 20' in order to be attacked by a...

This past weekend at my LFR table, On my turn, I declared that I was using my action point first thing. My intention was to gain the advantages that my Paragon Path granted for both this free action, the remaining actions this turn as well as the actions next turn. The DM said no way. You have...

So the other day, we had an underwater encounter and I caught a bit of flak when my dwarven fighter didn't charge. I replied that I didn't know I could. My move of 5 only yielded a swim speed of 2 and the critter was 5 squares away. I tried to find any rules that state you can't charge (or run)...

This came up in our last session. A creature with phasing attacked us and kept moving between 2 solid walls, ending its turn within the wall. The DM then allowed the creature to attack while within the wall, disallowing the party the ability to hit it back. My take is that a solid wall is...

So, after replying to another thread, I thought maybe I've been reading bursts wrong. I (as well as all the LFR tables I've played at) play a close burst from a large (2x2) monster as radiating out x squares from the entire creature's space, not just a single origin square. So a large monster...

I am creating an adventure for my group where they take a small boat out on the ocean to an off shore encounter area. They have a 3 encounters there, then either swim or sail back. The sailing/swimming is a skill challenge (complexity 2, so hopefully it won't take too long.) Problem is, I had...

I am trying to create an encounter and am unsure whether this would be overkill: 5 x level 3 PC's vs. 2 x Level 2 Soldiers and 1 x level 8 ogre skirmisher. Adding up the XP's, keeps it within the players range, but I am afraid that +5 level monster is way out of the player's league. The stats of...

So, I received my monthly email from rpgshop and prominently displayed are a set of cheaters d20's. They have no 1 and 2 20's. I first thought, "cute." But then I started thinking, what possible use could these have and how likely are some of the more unscrupulous types to use these when I game...

Does anyone know the origins of the 3 "new" races presented in 4E (Dragonborn, Tiefling, Eladrin) that weren't in OD&D/1E? Did they start as monsters in certain editions?
