I was wondering if there is a table listing all the "backdrops" in Dragon magazine. For instance I thought the backdrop for Cormyr in Dragon 365 was great. I'm looking for a list of other backdrops for other areas.

Some other "simple" questions. A third level wizard has multiple daily powers (through expanded spell book): 1. He tries to use Acid Arrow (daily power) but misses. Can he use this on his next turn or does the miss negate the ability to use this again (until he rests). 2. He uses Acid...

OK, our crew took a break for a while (long while) and now we're stumbling on some simple rules again. Here's one on twin strike. What is the correct damage in this example: A third level Ranger has twin strike using two swords. One is a +1 sword. She attacks using her +1 sword: 1 (1/2...

I was wondering how many DMs have characters "deposit" their treasure somewhere due to the sheer amount of loot. For instance, the group keeps their treasure(s) at a specific city/town's bank or castle, or maybe they keep it buried. Or do you simply let them keep everything "on them". (Some...

How can one increase damage dealt out by a 2nd lvl Eladrin Wizard? Take for example this scenario which left the damage potential rather weak for our Wizard. Granted the roles for a wizard and ranger are different but the amount of damage seems to be significant at 2nd level. (The characters...

OK, this may be a dumb question and it really didn't come up on our 1st lvl, however now the characters have bumped to 2nd lvl, and now we have a question on how many powers can be used (w/o resting). We seem to come up with conflicting or ambiguous information. For instance, if a player has...

Have I missed anything in 4e about slicing undead ghosts, wraiths, etc with blades? I find it hard to "phantom" (sorry, I couldn't resist the pun).

OK, I'm still getting the hang of combat from 1e to 4e and having trouble with reading the powers. Here's an example. Let's say a 2 blade 1st lvl ranger. His STR provides +2 to hit and damage and he's proficient with a short sword which gives him +3 to hit, let's assume no other modifiers...

This will be my first 4e character since the 1st edition D&D years ago. Any help on how to beef up AC on a 1st lvl Eladrin Wizard? I'm worried he'll be hit pretty easily.

Hi guys, It's been years since I've played D&D (mid 80's), and wanted to start playing again w/ the new <ACRONYM title="D&D 4th Edition">4e</ACRONYM>. But to get the creative juices flowing I was looking for suggestions on D&D novels, specifically those with theives guilds (or similar) and/or...
