The buckler is a medieval shield and weapon that was used mostly between 1100 and 1600 AD. It is gripped in the fist (generally in the same hand that bears a sword) and used to offer extra concealment and protection for the sword hand. Bucklers were excellent at deflecting melee attacks while...

How do you get those buttons to come up that say 'spoilers' and let you hide text. I searched the FAQ for spoilers and came up with nothing.

The Geomancer is a class that I created for my campaign. Geomancers are a tribal class with strong ties to the earth. They use powers called Orisons to channels the earths might and vanquish their opponents. I appreciate any feedback anyone wants to give me on the class or any of its features...

Anyone have a PDF for the new character sheet in the ThunderSpire adventure? Please post file or link:D!

So I'm playing some D&D with my rogue. I use a power that hits an enemy and gives me combat advantage against him for a round or so. On his turn he cuts me up pretty bad, and I go down to -1 hp, unconscious at his feat. The cleric brings me back before my next turn, and I get up and make my...

Does anyone know why this was included in this edition? Random stats seem more realistic (some people are better than others) but less balanced (some people are better than others). Isn't this the opposite of the new D&D philosophy (which favors balance over realism)? The problem is that some...

I'm in love with the new rules in 4e, which give characters general skills that work in many situations. In 3e a wizard was nice, unless you ran into creatures with spell resistance, or golems, are demons that resisted almost every element. Rogues were fun too, unless you were fighting...

Classes, Ability Scores, and Synergy. In the new edition, you get to add the best of two skill modifiers to each defense. STR or CON to fortitude, DEX or INT to AC/reflex etc... This works well with a few of the classes. For rogues, you can choose builds that rely on Dex and either Str or Cha...

Vorpal Weapons: When you role maximum weapon damage with a vorpal weapon you get to re-roll and that die and add more damage (keep re-rolling if you keep rolling max damage). If you get a critical, you treat each weapon damage die as though it had been rolled max, would your re-roll those ones...

A character has low strength and makes a strength based melee basic attack against a minion (attack of opportunity maybe). The roll is a 1, combined with a -1 strength modifier for 0 damage. It is my opinion that the minion dies. The rules say that they have 1hp, but they also say that any hit...

As I understand it, versatile weapons add +1 to damage when used two handed, and two handed weapons do not gain any such bonus. In this case the bastard sword is a better two handed weapon than a great sword. Bastard sword 2 handed: 1d10 + 1 Great sword 2 handed: 1d10 I understand that the...
