Hello All. I'm using some older adventure path modules while running 5e, and I had a question about social interactions. In certain previous versions we had NPC attitudes (hostile, unfriendly, helpful, etc.) that you could adjust via social skills. I'm looking to mimic that with new rules, but I...

Hello All, My group is ending a short adventure fighting a flying necromancer atop a twisted tower. I have some ideas on it, but the encounter is missing something to make it awesome, so I'm hoping the community could provide soem cool ideas. Background: In this military campaign, in the first...

Ran my second playtest tonight, much fun was had. This group had six players instead of five from the other night (I'm very, very fortunate in my locale). So I threw in a Kobold Dragon Shield to spice the fights up. Their base attack is listed as: Short Sword (standard; at-will) • Weapon +7...

Hello people. I'm prepping my 4e playtest game and wanted to show my non-combat skill challenge model. First off, many thanks to those of you who've cobbled together the information we have so far. Your enthusiasm makes this possible. So, I've pulled in some thematic elements from Burning...

Anyone tried to combine the rules from D&D Insider displaying the rogue class with the existing characters that have surfaced from Experience? I'm thinking about trying my hand at it, but wanted to see if someone had done the work already? (and a huge thanks to everyone for posting and...

Hi guys. I'm linking to an old thread on this site regarding projectors. It's the 'Coolest.Gaming.Set Up. Evar' thread found here: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=122099&page=1&pp=30 When I pull up the first page of the thread, it prompts for a login to dladventures.com which it...

Hi guys. I'm enamored with what we've heard about the simpler movement system in 4E, where all diagonals cost 1 square/5 foot, the same as horizontal and vertical moves. I know over the years we've gotten used to counting 5', 15', 20', 30', but it's jarring at times and slows play down. So I...

Anyone here worked with the spell Entangle? I'll admit, I DM most of the time and don't look at the specifics of some spells, trusting my players with some of the hard work. The tables turned recently, and now I'm handling a low-level druid. Of course, I broke out the Entanlge spell, and wow...

My group was thinking there was some feat in the WotC material that let a bard weave two songs together in one use. Anyone know of such a feat? Quickly glancing through Comp. Arcane, Adventurer, and Scoundrel, I didn't see anything. There are some Virtuoso class abilities that require...

Hello folks. Anyone have any links to good resources or discussions about using Bards effectively in dungeon settings? A player of mine is currently 9th lvl in my Age of Worms campaign, and he's suffering in the combat scenes. He's not as experienced of a player and is cool about advice, so I'd...

Weird question from a player/GM friend of mine. If a caster is in the midst of casting Call Lightning gains the invisibility effect, would the subsequent actions of calling down lightning bolts against targets break the invisibility? He's thinking that since the actions are indirect, it may not...

Hi All, Simple question here regarding the trip attack. It's a two-part attack where first you go for the hit, and then second you compare the strength. What I'm wondering about is the failed trip attempt where the opponent gets to attempt a trip against you. Does this occur if you fail...

I'm working on advancing monsters, and I was noting the changes to damage based on size. Say I have a pit fiend that's advancing high enough to get Huge size instead of Large. So, every physical attack goes up a dice increment based on the chart? So it's not only claw, but also wing buffets...

Hello All. I frequently like to end my campaign sessions with a bit of a cliffhanger to keep the players enthused (and myself as well). This time I ended with a magical trap that's pretty much a teleport redirect, shunting them from their intended location to a less favorable spot. Also when I...

I've got the chance to hop in a friend's current Iron Kingdoms campaign, and I've been looking at the IK ranger variant. I like the lack of spells and animal companion to worry about, and the favored terrain looks cool. But I also note how the bonus feats are on a different schedule than the...

Question recently came up regarding spells that require a ranged touch attack to hit. If you fire such a spell at a target that's involved in melee, don't you get the -4 to hit as normal?

Hi there. I've recently gotten a few minis painted by friends of mine. The miniatures are exceptionally done, and I'd like to show off the work here. Yet photographing them seems a bit daunting. Anyone have tried and true advice for zooming in on these tiny figures to capture the detail? Thanks.

How would you handle two horsemen with a net between them trying to entangle a character on the battlefield? Would it be something like an overrun, or a touch attack? All sorts of options are running through my head, so I wondered if this knowledgeable group had ideas.

Hi all. My girlfriend is looking to start a new campaign, and she's looking for advice on bringing characters together at the start. Anyone have any good resources to share, or perhaps a cool use of the Search feature? Thanks in advance!

I’m working on a variety of house rules for my next campaign which will be set in the Planescape setting. One of the points I’m on right now are the faction abilities. In 2e, membership in a faction grants an ability and carries a restriction. Some were mechanic-driven (the god-opposing Athar...
