With the move, I've been out of Encounters for a while but want to get back in. Is it possible to run on different days now or is it still only a Wed game? Thanks!

Open Grave Strahd is level 20, old math. Before I redo all his math for MM3 conversion, I wanted to see if it already existed and I just can't find him? I'm hoping to get him around level 13 and am new to releveling. The version in DDI has limited powers and no alternate forms. Of course, if...

So I ran a 4e converted Strahd (down to level 11) and some of his powers were a bit confusing. He has three forms, but each has separate HP values. How do you handle HP tracking if he is switching between forms. I was thinking probably giving all forms the same HP for ease and tracking that way...

How does Spawn Wraith work? The text says that if the wraith kills a humanoid, but does killed mean the PC has to have failed all 3 death saves, or drops below 0? If the PC raises as a wraith, can he/she be brought back to life after the encounter? Thanks!

I'm running Expedition to Ravenloft in 4e. I asked around and got a great idea for a disease, Werewolf Moon Frenzy (lv 6). So, each time the PCs enter a room in the castle (and there are lots), they have to make a Will check (or Endurance?) against the disease. Each time they change rooms, a new...

I'm running Expedition to Ravenloft - converting to 4e as I go. I'm had few problems so far, but I have no idea what to do when the players fail a check that results in a -1d3 depravity score. What is something comparable in 4e? If reduced, how does it come back? thanks!

I'm running an Essentials Hunter and want to look into different ways I might make longbow attacks in melee. I think I remember a cloak or armor that would allow it, or perhaps there's a feat? I could also consider an enchanted bow. I'm currently level 3 with bracers of the perfect shot as my...

Can I retrain ability scores in LFR? I made Charisma my highest and want to switch it with Strength at the next level. I'm at level 1, just completed one module.

As far as I can tell, I can play a Kobold in LFR. Am I missing something, or would this be OK? Thanks!

I was hoping to use a greatspear as my primary knight weapon for my LFR eladrin. Would I qualify for the spinning deflection class feature? I'm trying to keep AC with plate, but use a two-handed weapon and find another AC boost.

I love the idea of using the Dispair Deck in my current campaign. Anyone know if it will be sold separately, or do you have to pick up the boxset? I probably will pick up the full set, but it would be nice to have an extra set.

I'm starting a 4e game using Expedition to Ravenloft. The main hook is that the PCs are seeking out the Lightbringers (or perhaps even the Knights of the Raven, not sure yet). The PCs occupations are scholars and each have a cool backstory as to how they chose their occupation. That said, I need...

I successfully dominate a flying creature. Can I pull it into a spiked pit to take damage? I think I can, so long as the creature gets a save, correct? Thanks!

I need to give my Exalted Brain in a Jar, leveled down to 9 for a hard fight for level 4 PCs, some protection against ranged attacks/spells. Any ideas? The terrain is a swamp. thanks! dwf

For story reasons related to my character, who is a mage, I'd like to use a holy symbol for an implement. Can I still get the same proficiency bonus (+?) I would for using a wand, staff, or orb? I'd try to equip and see in character builder, but my DDI ran out. Thanks in advance, I'm hoping to...

So I have a group of Arborean Terrors (Large Plants) that for story reasons I've like to have toss my PCs around. In short, they have a grab and immobilize ability so round 1 would be that, round 2 would be to toss a PC to another plant who keeps them grabbed and immobilized. There's more to it...

I run my sandbox Chaos Scar campaign on a laptop so that always goes, but have yet to really settle on a kit I can keep together to run to games. Some of the things that generally make it in my bag, besides die and the rules compendium, is a dry erase board and markers, my monster vault and most...

My FLGS handed me a set of plastic tiles with various effects (lightening, acid, poison, etc) that can be cut out and laid over dungeon tiles. I'm sure I missed a discussion on here about them. Can anyone shed any light? They look like something Wizard's might have sent as a DM reward.

I'm a bit confused on tracking initiative. I'm running Dead by Dawn and this happens: 1. Two groups of zombies break into temple PCs are defending, so I assume they attack on surprise if they beat passive perceptions. So, monsters get a full round of actions? 2. Attack is resolved and all (PCs...

Hi, I was hoping to run a Ravenloft campaign, but don't have the prep time to write or convert as much as I'd like. So, its probably mostly modular for me. Any suggestions? I've heard the Keep on Shadowfell/Thunderspire/Pyramid is vaguely Ravenloft, but I wasn't sure. Any thoughts, ideas, or...
