Trying out an invoker for the first time. Looking like a pretty cool class. Got a question about some of the powers: The invoker has some powers that do (for instance) a Close Blast 3, or a Close Burst 3. Blasts/bursts are positioned in relation to the caster. What happens when these are...

OK. . . so my 14th level human fighter/dreadnought was using a +3 Bloodclaw crag-hammer. Doesn't seem like a great choice now. What alternatives would people suggest - assuming I want to stick with a crag hammer - so no blade or axe enchantments. Allowable magic item sources are: PHB AV 1 AV 2

Doesn't look like there's much to prevent you from playing a barbarian armored like a battleship. You don't get your free point per tier of AC. . . but the heavy armor vastly outclasses that. Costs you a feat, but oh well. Any particular reason why you shouldn't do this? Seems like you get...

So a few days ago I started this thread "monsters not dishing enough damage" because we were breezing through everthing that was thrown at us, using characters that while effective, were not uber-optimized. As it turns out. . . the monsters aren't the problem. Its the module writers. Richard...

So. . . Does it seem to anybody else like the monsters just don't hit hard enough? My 12th level fighter only becomes bloodied if I want him to be - and that is with the party healer having to expend minimal effort. He usually has daily-healing left over at the end of the day when we stop to...

I have a question about this power. Its the 12th level utility power for the battlefield Archer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archer's Glory One enemy falls, and those that remain are about to learn what heroism is all about...

Killjoy Cooking With the Dungeons & Dragons Crowd Lore Sjöberg 14 hours ago Cookbooks are a lot like Dungeons & Dragons and other role-playing games. They contain seemingly rigid rules that, in practice, require a certain amount of adaptation for your own tastes. So how come cooking gets...

Ok. . . I haven't thought all the way through this. . . that's what I have you guys for! I thought I'd see if anybody had any good ideas on how to do this. What I'm interested in is a system whereby characters who die, can 'miraculously survive' but accquire a permanent battle scar that...

O.K. . . . so kobold minions die in one hit. Fine. What about higher level monsters? Is it possible for higher level mosters to be minions? If so, do they also die in one hit? If so, are there any rules about what will kill them in one hit? For example, if a 3rd level pc manages to hit an...

I just have a request for people posting information from the WotC blogs/website. Could you take a second to cut and paste the text of the article into a post, instead of just providing a link? Many of us are behind corporate firewalls that block access to sites like WotC. Posting links...

Apparently some people don't understand how the new rules shape actions in combat, so I'm going to explain it to them. . . I keep seeing the complaints about "the fighter is just going to use his -at will- power all the time once his per day/per enc abilities are gone." Let's take a step back...

They're extremely small in the photohost site. . . and blowing them up in picture viewer makes them blurry. Did anybody going to this get good copies they could post?

Forget the lame spellcasters and their possibly limited set of options!! (just kidding. . 'not enough spell options' thread was at the top when I posted this. . . and the topics are similar. . .) Let's talk about weapon variety in 4E! One of the problems with 3.x, and really every edition...

For the entire duration on 3.x, heavy armor has been the neglected stepchild of the combat system. Its always inadequate compared to the other kids, and gets no revisionist love! Please. . . for the love of god(!!) make it worthwhile to wear heavy armor, even at high levels!!!! That means...

Who else thinks that Meepo needs to make the jump to 4th edition as a Kobold god?

Alright, soldier didn't go very far. . . If you had to choose between Warlord and Tactician, which would it be?

With my astounding powers of prognostication, I predict that the magic system in 4E will: 1. Not have scaling spells. A fireball might be an 5th level spell and it will always do exactly 5d6 damage (or whatever). If you want to do more damage you will need to cast a higher level spell. 2...

As I ponder some of the weak spots in 3.5 rules and wonder what changes could be made to enhance the system, the subject of clerical turning springs to mind. It seems that even by a relatively low level, the clerical ability to turn devalues many encounters with undead. Leaving aside clumsy...

I saw a thread speculating about how old the D&D player base is and whether WotC is marketing to the correct ages. Let's find out who they should be marketing to! How old are you?
