That's why i leave it up to the DM. Lets say the party is interrogating someone for information. You are using intimidate, with disadvantage because they don't speak any languages you speak. You roll 1 and 1, so the DM can decide what happens. Maybe your interrogation techniques go too far and...

My favorite NPC has to be Johann, The Holy Meteor. He was a necromancer cleric, who learned how to cast meteor at level 5. Once. The lead up to this is grand. First he had defeated Acerak in the Tomb of Horrors by utilizing his lone skeleton minion. Only the skeleton was in the room with that...

So I thought of some ideas for some house rules for criticals, Critical Failures: Can only happen on rolls with disadvantage. If the player rolls two garunteed misses, usually a 1 on the D20, they suffer a critical mishap. DM's choice on how to resolve. Critical Success: Use roll to confirm...

I am working on a homebrew campaign setting based upon the different lands and rides at Disneyland, some of them lend themselves perfectly to modules, Indiana Jones is a perfect dungeon crawl with traps, undead, bugs and what not to overcome, while the Haunted Mansion has given a really good...

thanks for the help guys, after doing the math old fashioned with the PHB in front of me, the final AC that i'm getting, 27 (10 + 4 [half level] + 9 [Layered plate] + 2 [enhancement] + 2 [heavy shield]) vs the char builder saying 27 = (10 + 4 [half level] + 9 [Layered plate] + 2 [enhancement] +...

okay, after looking through the math that it's doing (best i can see) it looks like the -2 is being put in because the heavy shield is giving a +4 bonus to ac/reflex instead of a +2 like it should. so i'm not sure if its a bug or their "fix" to the bug.

So i should just knock off the extraneous -2? the problem is, i'm hitting it in the new character builder as well. I'm thinking i might have to throw in an extra "house ruled" feat that gives an additional +2 reflex and AC within the program.

Thanks, yeah i'm currently using the old version (pre online only) and i always seem to lose AC with a shield rather than gain it which is stupid beyond compare. Why equip a shield for a net gain of 0 AC or even a -1 ac when i could go with a two handed weapon for the same lol.

I'm using the 4th edition character generator, and i'm getting a -2 penalty to both AC and reflex when equipping a shield. Aren't shields supposed to just give a bonus?

I'm currently in a campaign where my character has come back from the dead as a ghost, and i'm wondering about the HD for my character. I know that normally hit dice are not changed when adding a template, however the template says all current and future HD are d12s, so i was wondering if i am...
