These look fantastic! Please tell me these are for an upcoming Spelljammer sourcebook!

Let me re-affirm that "untyped" not only IS a damage type, but a pretty darn good one - mostly for the reasons Abyssknight already specified.

DarkLord, I am thrown off by your "offhand" comment, and I am not sure you have explained everything enough to us. 1) Double weapons are all two-handed weapons that also count as an Off hand weapon when in your off-hand. You can't just wield an urgrosh in your off hand. 2) Unless you are a...

I don't know the exact source, but I have heard this before on here and from Interactive Design students at my work.

This should be in the 4e house rules forum, I believe. That aside, with my game I run, I award the PC's +1 to all defenses, attack and damage rolls and +1d6 to crits at 3rd and every 6 levels thereafter. The magic items they find confer no plusses, so if someone finds a nice flaming longsword...

It's just frustrating running a game for 6-8 new-to-the-game players who discover that they love the game and not seeing more done to pull in new players. This doesn't have to be a niche product. It could be a mass market product, it just needs a push.

It also seems like suicide for a game publisher to try to make nowadays. It is also always worth noting what I say to my grognard friend - There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the old systems. They are classics. Lots of people love them and some people still use them. You're not going to...

Yes, I ran one of these. The stats out of the book sucked in my opinion. Here's an old thread here about it : http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/249313-berbalang.html

There are a few pages of errata to the core 4e rules in the very back of PHB2. It is presented as a rules update.

I concur... I think that playing Magic since '93 (competitively since '96) and playing D&D and seeing how the once simple game systems had grown more complex and stratified with periodic rules additions helped "Understand" the approach of 4th better. Anyone else a Magic player - ex or...

I guess as a concrete reason ? OK - if you make one of the primary adventure motivators (XP & Loot) capable of being acquired outside of traditional adventuring through normal means - socially RP'ed money schemes, Liberal use of Fool's Gold, Etc... The potential for player greed unintentional or...

They're allowed to purchase whatever they have the gold for and the DM deems available. That being said, you know your game better than others. In my games that I play in and the ones I run, the only way to acquire an item higher than your level is by risking your neck (in a dank sewer or some...

Thanks Infiniti - y'know maybe part of it is that one might read a rule, but until that rule is implemented and seen in practice, one might not always remember it (and by then it might be forgotten to be implemented). I wish the PHB had more play examples within it - I remember Rupert and...

I know this has been probably discussed before, but I can't help but feel the need to discuss this now. I don't consider myself a stringent rules lawyer, although I do enjoy cohesion in rules systems in all games. I can't help but feel that a vast portion of people playing 4e simply haven't read...

One argument was that it needed 24 hours to "cool down". I haven't found a spot in the rules that supports that idea. The rules don't seem to look for durations of effects, only when the action to bring them into effect was used. To me, as long as the item's action to invoke its daily power...

Hi gang - I need to reach a consensus about something that happened tonight. We found and id'ed a Jade Macetail. I used it in an encounter to block a passage to prevent enemies from following us. After the encounter was over, we retreated and (extended) rested. I used the jade macetail to block...

I think it will be incredibly rough going with 4 4th level PC's. The game's math is tight, and if all of your players have a notion of how 4e is played, they might be fine. If you have new players or players that are newer to the system, they might work better at 5th level, since the difference...

I run a 7 player campaign. I have found that they are usually all willing to throw in for Group Mini Donations ( with the caveat that the mini's belong to the DM) D&D Insider subscription and a Subscription to Obsidian Portal (even though you can use it for free). I tend to throw challenges at...

If you have smart players, they will realize that this is the perfect opportunity for a rogue to shine even more than they already do. If you make these changes and you have a smart rogue player, their damage output will outshine any arcane spellcaster by leaps and bounds at every level. The...

Let me say that call of the plague was absolutely ridiculously good with my old laser cleric once you remember that you can move targets less than the forced movement. The power did take a long time to resolve, though.
