So, my players will be here in a little over an hour, and I *just* saw something that tweaked my brain. I thought I'd ask Enworld for an answer. Take, as our example, the cleric's power "Healing Word". We've been treating it like a "double" encounter power. You get two copies of it, to show...

I love 4E. In fact, I had given up on D&D over a decade ago until 4E came along! However, with all of the additional combat options, riders on powers, tactical decisions, and basic all-around-wonderful *stuff* at our disposal, it came as no surprise that our combats slowed down, and the game...

After watching all of the cool videos of the wii-mote whiteboard projects, especially the new digital gaming table videos, I'm going to take the plungee and build a digital projection table for my group. In case you're not aware of what I'm talking about, check out this video. YouTube - Game...

So, does anybody wish to hazard a guess what the playtest article for the PH3 is going to be about next Friday? They didn't announce a class name alongside it, unlike previous classes, so it might not be a class. (but wouldn't seeing a monk playtest be cool?!) Or it might be a full-fledged...

Do the various bonus additions from different items stack? I was under the impression that they did not. You chose the largest single bonus, and that was it. However, the Iron Armbands of Power have a property which grants a +2 bonus to damage rolls. However, if item bonuses don't stack...

Here is my situation. I started a 4E campaign with friends, and we've been having a fine old time. We started with Keep on the Shadowfell, but we stopped that adventure early after reaching 2nd level, mostly because the plotline had some serious holes in it and it seemed to be very linear. I...

First off, this is a bit of a lengthy post, and I'm looking to solict responses from people "in the know" about D&D miniatures, the new plastic pre-paints, and so forth. I hope you'll bear with me. I’ve been slowly getting into 4th edition D&D, and one of the things I’d like to do is build up...

Yesterday I ran my first-ever 4th edition game for a bunch of us, as a test-drive for the system to see whether we liked it enough to consider starting a campaign. This wasn’t an RPG group. In fact, it wasn’t even an RPG-friendly group, and therein lay my problem. Some of the players had...

Years ago, when I first moved to the States, I kept up with my weekly gaming group by using Microsoft Whiteboard and text-chatting with my friends. It worked (barely), and we managed to have a few good sessions. Years later we revisited RPGs online with voice-comms and dedicated software...

I have a question regarding Opportunity Attacks, Ranged Basic Attacks, and Wizards. I thought I had most things sussed, and then for fun I listened to the podcast of a demo D&D game done by an official WotC DM for the folks at the comics “Penny Arcade” and “PvP”...

Hi all. First post here. New to 4th edition, and trying to clear up some misconceptions and misfiled rules in my head. 2-handed weapons (say, a greataxe) -- you get a STR bonus to damage with it, but how much bonus, exactly? Do you get get your STR bonus, or 1.5x your STR bonus (or is that...
