    Who's Playing What on Fantasy Grounds?

    Assuming the 1% isn't a typo (its the only like that) it should be 1% of the 17% of the total games or around 2,750ish based on the 3%s of the 12%s for CoreRPG and 4E games.

    Fantasy Grounds

    5 out of 5 rating for Fantasy Grounds I'm giving this 5 of 5 stars primarily from a GM's perspective. As a GM there are several things I really like about about Fantasy Grounds: 1) Buy once, no monthly fee. Plus you are not dependant on anyone's servers, and your game data and scenarios are...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    For anyone coming in a bit late to the announcement there has been a lot of talk about price - how expensive, etc and a lot of talk about the high end. Nobody that I saw really said that the min price if you want to try it for a month with a group is $13. You pay $9.99 for a month of FG's...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    I just wanted to point out one additional option if you have a group already. You can get a four pack of FG licenses for $120 - 4 for the price of 3 on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/252690/

    Virtual Tabletop software?

    Sorry for the late reply but the ENWorld notice was getting caught by my spam filter. FG has a number of SW settings/scenarios available for purchase: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/?sys=3&pub=-1&typ=-1&x=12&y=18&sort=4 I agree with you, while I generally like 4E for Fantasy RP, I very...

    Solos with just 3 Players

    The above advice was good, but it also doesn't hurt to mention that the DMG says on page 59 in the second paragraph about solo monsters that you can generally increase or decrease the solo's level by one for each character above or below five characters.

    Virtual Tabletop software?

    Naturally you are in titled to your opinion, but the pretty dice do matter and not just for their prettiness. What you are overlooking is the dice are also part of the user interface. What is more natural to a gamer than to pick up and roll dice as an interface when a die roll is required?

    Virtual Tabletop software?

    So you know where I'm coming from I've now used FG for a couple of years now. However prior to using FG I used and researched a variety of VTTs. I first started playing online with a program that was just a battlemap that rolled dice. I next tried ScreenMonkey, Klooge, MapTools...

    Thanks a lot. :)

    Extra saves and Ill Effects

    About the time the Warden came out I thought there either a FAQ or errata entry that said something like if you get an extra save then it is only to the PC's benefit. IE if there is an aftereffect it doesn't come into play when the PC blows a extra save someone gave him through a channel...

    Mounts

    That is not entirely correct. Heroic monsters (1st-10th level) have one healing surge, paragon have two and epic have three surges.

    Move and Charge in the same turn, is that legal?

    The other thing is the charging PC can only use a *basic* attack. That's why the feats to allow a melee PC to use some other power in place of a basic attack are good. Until a PC replaces his basic attack with something or gets something to enhance is basic attack - most monsters have a better...

    D&D 4E How to Build 4E Solo Adventures?

    Don't over look minions for allies. Real minons along with the NPCs. You can set up Conan situations where both sides are dying like flys *except* the heroes. Also for elites, while for one PC I agree they are too tough. However, try halving the HP but let it keep all the powers and the...

    Combat encounter rebalancing

    DM's make mistakes - especially new ones. I would just give the normal XP. I don't think there was any "conspiracy" by the DM. The OP flat out says the guy is honest, and while he made a number of mistakes they were all on one power. It is easy to read a power incorrectly if you haven't read...

    Immediate Interrupt Question

    The example I gave, Deft Strike - is a single target power that is both a range and melee power. Presuming a rogue is using a dagger, with can make both melee and range attacks - if the rogue started to make a melee attack with the dagger using Deft Strike and then had his target teleport 2...

    Immediate Interrupt Question

    Often this is not correct. If the character moves and then attacks and the move is not part of an attack he is finished moving. You can't move take a standard action and move again unless the standard action gives you movement. Even with a standard action power like deft strike which gives...

    Dominate: Can you compel free actions?

    I'm normally like someone up-tread who said that for creatures to be allies they both have to think so and only one has to think he is an enemy for them to be enemies. I think the domination is an exception to this general rule that forces a PC to treat someone who is an enemy as an ally...

    Dominate: Can you compel free actions?

    I don't see the problem with this. Do you put Orcus or any other paragon or epic monster in a first level dungeon and actually expect the PCs to fight him? The cliff thing is the same to me. Are then cliffs in my world that PCs can fall off and die from? Of course. But I don't site my...

    D&D 4E Disarm in 4E

    For what its worth you really have two problems here: 1) The guy is your friend so you don't want to say "My way or hit the highway." 2) The guy doesn't want to play 4E, either because he doesn't know the rules or because he doesn't like the rules. The designers of 4E didn't like disarm. The...

    Le Saddle

    For me two criteria to use the saddle: 1) Creature is a Mount, ie it must have the Mount keyword on a power. 2) The creature can teleport.
