Hey all! "Wielding a double weapon is like wielding a weapon in each hand." That quote is from the latest ruling on Double Weapons. Yes, it's like wielding a weapon in each hand, but does that mean it meets the requirements of powers such as Twin Strike, for example, which specifically say "You...

Hey all. I've noticed a complete and utter lack of free, fan made, not for sale, just free 4E adventures. Is this due to the GSL? While I am familiar with it in the vein of "The GSL sucks" outcries, I really dont know any of the details. So I ask the intelligent and legalize deciphering types...

Hey all... I know this topic comes up often, but I enjoy reading all of the answers every time, so here's my turn... The 4E group that I DM for is about to hit level 11 soon: Paragon Tier. For the first 10 levels, I've just been throwing random, unrelated little adventures at them, as we get a...

Hey all. It only took 6 levels for the group I DM for to experience their first death in 4E. It happened tonight during the "boss encounter" i.e., the "PCs level +3" encounter that is recommended once every level. I think my encounter was fairly designed, and I have to blame horrible player...

Hey all… The thread with the “You shall not pass!” cleric move got me thinking about the cool things my players have done since 4E has come out. Unfortunately, it’s a rather short list. Spoilerish Alerts! (Kobold Hall, KotS) . . . . . . . . . . . . Kobold Hall Area 3 – Skull Skull! The rogue...

Hey all. So my group had a run in with a gelatinous cube today, and many a rules questions sprung into light! Where to start... I guess it's just best to describe the scenario, and you rules expert types can tell me where I screwed up! We had a (W)arlord, (P)aladin and a (R)ogue in a corridor...

Hey all. Not a specific rules question here, but more of a general "Am I understanding this right?" sort of thing. Let's say the highest passive Perception score for anyone in my group is 20. Now let's say I make a secret door with a Perception DC of exactly 20. This means that it is spotted...

Hello. First, the basic question(s): Do enemies know they are marked by fighters? And similarly, do they know what happens when they are marked? I remember reading in some pre-4E playtest reports that enemies knew what would happen if the paladin Divine Challenged them, and they attacked...

Hello. Just a quick question I have regarding Close Blast vs Area Blast. The book is pretty clear in the text on PHB 271, but the picture examples they give on page 272 only help to confuse me. (Probably unecessarily) Am I right in my assumption that the Blast examples in the picture on...

My fake OCD goes nuts when I look at the 4E Players Handbook and see 2 Defenders, 2 Leaders, but 3 Strikers and 1 Controller. Obviously, one of those Strikers should have been a Controller. Warlock out, Illusionist in! Or maybe Druid is a Controller... Bard is probably a Leader. How about a...

Hey, all... Is there any news about the release of Dorkness Rising? All I can find while searching around the net is that the movie is pretty much done, waiting for a publisher and the release date is supposedly 2006. Was wondering if anyone had any more info than that. Thanks. Gruns

Hey all. I'm DMing a new campaign with three players. As our campaigns tend to die out around level 10, we decided we'd try something different this time, and start at level 12. They rolled up characters, and all decided on casters... Relatively normal Dwarf Cleric Slightly abnormal Gnome...

Hey all. I'm looking to create a tribalistic kind of shaman. Probably Half-Orc as it fits my character concept. Think Everquest Shaman type of role: Major emphasis on debuffing, moderate buffs, minor healing. Melee isn't out of the question. Anyway, the Spirit Shaman from Complete Divine...

Hey all! Just thought I'd share a little something from my campaign. Back in the old days, my (brief)DM used to give all of the players a "Gift Scroll" for Christmas. This was a list of 10 somewhat obscure statements that you could "use" (cross off your list) at virtually any time. Somewhat akin...

hello! First of all, ***SPOILER ALERT*** If you're playing Red Hand of Doom, you should probably stop reading here... ... Hello again non-RHoD players and/or cheaters! I was just preparing to stat out Azarr Kul in fully buffed mode, and could tell it was going...

Hey all! Help! Does anyone happen to have a copy (or a working link) of the old, old "Orc and Pie" bit originally from Nutkinland that involved people posting their version of the Orc and Pie adventure as DM'd by certain celebrities? In particular the Quentin Tarentino and Christopher Walken...

Hey all. Are there any very good FAQ's regarding cover/concealment out there? Our group normally gets along just fine, and I usually just go with what seems logical when it comes to rules disputes, and everyone is usually fine with that. However, recently we're having trouble agreeing with...

Hey all. I DM a small party of three- Lvl 5 Favored Soul, lvl 5 Ranger, lvl 5 Rogue- that has just finished up a fairly long dungeon crawl, which lead to them finishing their current "quest". Right now the door is wide open for what to do next. Since I don't want to jump into another dungeon...

Hey, all... New campaign starting, and it looks like I'm leaning toward playing a bard. Problem is, I just can't convince myself that this class would be 1)Useful, 2)Interesting or 3)FUN! It does however seem to fit the group's needs. The group has 3 other PCs, as follows: Half-Orc Barbarian...

So if I make a Trip attack with my whip using the Weapon Finesse feat for my attack roll, the opposed trip roll is still Strength vs Strength, right? Whips suck, right? Thanks. Gruns
