    Is the Tratnyr underpowered?

    My dragonborn warden uses it because it's fun. I agree that it may be underpowered but not THAT underpowered; I haven't felt outclassed by the other members of the party. If you just like the thought of using a weapon that looks like a harpoon, go for it. It is the best heavy thrown weapon and...

    *Standard* Array

    I like 16-15-14-11-10-8 for most characters. Lets you put a decent stat for each of the three defenses. A few class (fighter, looking at you) require some re-thinking on this.

    Mearls talks about his inspiration for the 4e classes

    But it's not overt. It isn't like they reference him in the Invoker class description. In light of that, what was used as inspiration isn't relevant to the fans who don't know about Gandalf's divine roots.

    I would like some feedback on a monster, please!

    Oh, and there are examples of ranged attack powers that don't provoke OAs in WotC stuff but I can't think of any off-hand. I do know that they are not identical; burst powers are not affected by concealment (but are affected by cover) while ranged power are.

    I would like some feedback on a monster, please!

    Thank you very much, guys! I am definitely going to incorporate some ideas from this into the creature. They have a buffed up AC because in the latest D&D podcast Mearls and company talk about how they didn't think minions were defined well enough (or powerful enough to count at 1/4 of a...

    I would like some feedback on a monster, please!

    Ok, I am doing a sort of Shadow Over Innsmouth themed session. The final showdown is going to be with a dangerous fish-man (I have chosen deeptouched as a name for these creatures but am open to take advice on changing it; it's kind of a silly name) and his minions. The other encounters I am...

    Monk Feedback

    While I think it is almost certainly an error that they do not, the monk's at wills need to do more damage starting in the epic tier. I'd like monks to be able to acquire some item that enchants their unarmed attack instead of relying on Transfer Enchantment for items higher than their level...

    Monk Preview

    In what way are psionics not magic? I'm not getting this here.

    Do you hand out less treasure?

    The two level increase you have seen? Won't make a difference if you have given out any treasure. About 5 levels out, things will get hairy.

    Working with XML output from Character Builder

    I was looking at the new XML today and I'm not sure it is yet enough to do anything with. It doesn't contain any text for the powers so anything you do with it will lack that very important element!

    Biggest 4E PHB complaint...

    For my players multiple strikers was more useful. To each their own, though.

    Making a high-level PC is hard!

    If you just use the chart in the DMG it tells you how many powers and of what level for every level. It's very simple.

    Will buy.com get sued?

    Small gaming stores don't even have the power to return unsold books, right? That would make them a much less risky market to sell to.

    D&D 4E New 4e Info! GAMA Tradeshow Scoop

    It means "to take a liking to."

    I just read the suggested system specs for the D&D Insider Apps

    I think they meant using Parallels instead of Boot Camp. At least I hope so.

    Hello there! This is FDM. I will probably lurk for awhile.
