    D&D 4E 4E Essentials: Dungeon Masters's Kit in Hand

    About how many traps, hazards and terrain features are included in the DM book? Are the rules for creating traps included?

    New FAQ at Wizards - Behind the Screen with magic item creation

    Does this mean a mithral breastplate doesn't hinder movement speed? I've been ruling that it doesn't, because the PHB states that medium and heavy armors reduce speed. But is this a quality of medium/heavy armor, or of the armors that are classified as medium/heavy?

    What do you prefer (DM/Player/Mixture)

    I would LOVE to take a break from DM'ing, but I have the disadvantage of not trusting anyone I know to get the rules right (ok, yes, I am an ornery rules lawyer). Example: The last guy I played under hadn't ever looked at the 3.5 rules and so decided that we should pick and choose which version...

    Illegal Magic Items

    How about licensing magic items? Maybe magic arms (I really see no need to license magic armor in a city that isn't run by despots) need to be license in order to be carried in the city. Maybe the guards at the gate confiscate them until such license is obtained or maybe they can license them on...

    How fast do new characters join the group?

    The new pc was fighting an evil wizard when he found himself teleported to the party's exact location.

    Playing cross-gender PCs

    I'm a straight male and I played a gay bard... does that count as a statistical anomaly? no? didn't think so. Only ever played male characters, though.

    The Lich (Origins)

    I recall H.P. Lovecraft used the word lich to describe an undead sorceress. (Dreams in the Witch House, maybe? I don't recall the specific story...)

    Can you use items to qualify for feats?

    heheh, I can see the fighter who has leadership, but only when his high-level bard companion inspires greatness on him. (yes, I realize IG doesn't add to your character level)

    For a Rogue, when is feinting better than getting 2 attacks?

    I'll be damned. Thanks for the correction.

    For a Rogue, when is feinting better than getting 2 attacks?

    Note that with the advent of 3.5 you can split your full atack action over 2 rounds, so you can: Round 1: Feint, start FAA Round 2: make the FAA, then move (or feint again) This assumes you have improved feint, of course, and it's really only useful if you have more iterative attacks than sneak...

    SRD 3.5 Competition

    Has anyone thought of doing a helpfile version of the SRD? I started on one, but freeware help editors are the sucks, heh. Still, I think that would be the most useful format for the all-important document.

    First Well RPed Character?

    Ganter "Arturo" Oakenshrub... blessed from birth with a lack in stature and a dull, stupid name. It's true Arturo was a bi sexfiend, but that status suited him more than he suited it. In any case, despite his halfling-like height (I should mention that he was human) and his amazing singing...

    Point-buy or rolling? Your preference and why?

    I dislike randomness in character generation, so I prefer to use point buy or standard array. I'm also a hit point bastard... giving them straight average hit points (round down, but those .5's still add up) I hold this truth to be self-evident; that all characters are created equal... with the...

    Fiend Folio: Symbionts and players

    So I'm planning on running an all illithid savant game and have decided that I want to give the players the option of having some sort of symbiont from the FF at some point in the game. My question is, what do you think a symbiont is "worth"? I've figured four ways of handling this and would...
