Now I'm at work, so I don't have book in front of me. But I'm guessing that lucky has one of those damn "after you roll the die, but before the outcome is determined," clauses. Personally I tend to ignore that. I don't mind the idea of declaring your reroll before the results are given, but for...

It think this is a case of having ones head so full of the rules from previous editions that it becomes difficult to grok the changes. I can't count the number of times I've read a section less than thoroughly because it didn't seem much had changed at a quick glance. And even when I know better...

I knew a guy that had lost his thumb on his dominate hand. He could still pick up objects and throw them just fine (he had a hard time me opening jars though). And with a quck test outside I found I can throw objects quite high with out ever raising my hands higher than my shoulder. He might not...

Ah, beat me to it. I'll probably house rule his attacks to be various area effects (a cone for his tail for example). I just can't see a creature like the Tarrasque carefully and meticulously attacking a single enemy at a time. And before anyone asks, yeah I'll probably be doing the same thing...

I hate how people treat having a story planned out as automatically being a railroad. I may plan out a story but if the players don’t follow it exactly as I planned or even disregard it entirely they can. Although if the player’s decide they don’t care about saving the...

You are absolutely right, you don't have to go gridless to do this. However I found that (for my groups) the players were more resistant to to being moved around the grid "arbitrarily." I think there is something about seeing exactly where you are on the map that makes it more difficult for...

Since everything is happening at (generally) the same time, When the player moves I would describe him as falling short on the move. I would simply say that the player moves towards the enemy. Then on the enemies torn I would describe him as running towards the wizard however the fighter turns...

Oh absolutely whats good for the goose is good for the gander. However as I said there are ways around this, for example the rouge might use his acrobatics to nimbly doge past the orcs. Or the burly barbarian might try to bowl through them. Or they could, you know, pull out their bows and shoot...

This sort of thing is exactly why I like to play without miniatures. I can keep things like movement more freeform. The fighter says he wants to keep the bad guy from getting to his squishy friends? He doesn’t need to have a special ability to do so. When someone tries to pass by him he...

Here's a couple that I came up with for a similar thread of the WotC forums. These ideas I just came up with off the top of my head, I'm sure any of us could come up with more. 1. The patron shared secrets of power with the warlock with the agreement that the warlock would serve him in some...

The earlier mention of Red Sonja reminded me of this (semi) relevant pic

I appreciate staring at a scantily clad image of the human form as the next person (quite possibly a bit more than the next person). However, I would be willing to place a sizable bet that there are more people out there that that would refuse to buy a product because it featured scantily clad...
