When a group enters combat and a PC wants to make a knowledge check to learn information about an opponent, is that a standard action? or is it done using a passive check?

This might be the simplest rule question ive ever posted but here goes.... A cleric attacks with his mace (Str 17) and his to hit is +5 (+2 prof, +3 STR) right? A wizard attacks with magic missile (Int 17) and his to hit is +3 (+3 INT) right? Ok so characters go to second level and everything...

What tactical effect does the zombie grab have in combat? or grab in general for that matter? If the zombie grabs a PC, does that make it easier for other zombie's to hit that PC? do they grant combat advantage? Im gettting ready for some nasty zombie minions in the KoTS adventure and reading...

Ive scoured through the players handbook and feel like ive read it five times looking for this rule but can't seem to find it. I remember people saying Rogues could use their dexterity to make a standard attack instead of strength modifiers similar to that feat they had in 3.x (although I can't...

Just ran through the first few encounters in the adventure and I am not one of the lucky people to get my books early so i have a bunch of questions. With no search feature without full membership I ask your indulgence if there are already threads that address these: 1. Do you really not need a...

FOr those that are familiar with this spell, I have a question. A tenth level caster can create ten 5' bursts of fire that deal 1d6 pts of dmg each. Then the spell gets a bit fuzzy since it then indicates secondary damage the following round at half that amount. That seems unclear to me and...

Does anyone have a copy of dungeon 125? i need the statsfor the final encounter in the age of worms adventure - the overgod i left my issue at home and need to run the encounter!

I am sitting down to run the final battlein the second ageof worms issue but i left my issue at home! Can anyone post the stats for the Overgod on here? That would be helpful.

Am I missing an errata? the Spell Wrack is listed in the Complete Divine as 3rd level Cleric/4th Level Wizard and Sorceror. However, the Spell Compendium lists that spelll as Clr 4, Wiz/Sor 5. Has there ever been clarification of that spell?

Recent adventure my party's wizard was facing creatures he had never fought and wanted to know if he could cast Deeper Slumber. Since the spell only affects 10 HD creatures or less, he wanted to know if his character would have any indication of whether the spell would succeed or not. I...

I have a situation in my gaming group that warrants an examination of challenge rating that I was hoping to get advice on. I have begun running the Age of Worms adventure path from Dungeon magazine, but the party I am running it for has six and sometimes seven PCs. Attempting to run the...

I am not interested in any spoilers or cheating advice, but my DM is about to send us up to destroy the bridge at Skull Gorge. My group is a Dwarven Fighter, a Half-Orc Fighter, a Human Cleric, a Human Wizard and a Halfling Rogue - all sixth level. I have had the opportunity to scout out the...

Hey I was just thinking about recent articles that appeared on Enworld's site, and I remembered that Improved Initiative article that the editors used to throw together. It lasted about five updates and I thought it was great but clearly I was in the minority. Does anyone know what officially...

What happens in combat when someone with a charged touch spell attempts to touch someone with mirror image but instead targets an image. I know it is much easier to hit the image, but does that discharge the spell? One side of the arguement would be yes, because the contact of hitting the...

My curiousity comes surrounding an assassin in my party who has learned several swift action spells. The rules in the PHB about metamagic feats with bards and sorcerors tells us that using still spell with a spell that has a casting time of one standard action will make it take a full round to...

when a pc uses a flaming burst or any burst weapon for that matter it says that it can be activated and deactivated with a command. Then it says that on a critical hit, it always deals the extra 1d10 (i think) for the burst. Does that mean that on a critical hit, even if the player has chosen...

I was wondering what people use for character sheets in the gaming.... I think back to my youth, playing on pieces of notebook paper torn from my history notebook, jagged edges and all, with stats and junk penciled on. I currently use Steve Mulhern(?)'s spreadsheet that basically autocalculates...
