    Are Superior Weapons "worth it"?

    All I know is that a ranger with a d12 Greatbow is a beautiful sight to behold.

    How do you make Liches interesting?

    Whenever I look for interesting monster for the PCs to play against (and I'm don't mind unleashing hell on them) I just take a monster I'm interested in (in your case, a Lich) and give it PCs powers. For example, look at the Wizards powers and see if there's anything interesting there for your...

    Compendium doesn't load on mobile devices anymore? Why?

    Same here. Unbelievable. The one DDI tool I could get on the iPhone. As an semirelated aside, it's amazing how WotC cannot get its grip together when it comes to digital offerings. The fact that there's no iOS / Android native apps for D&D is amazing, but much, much worse is the fact that MtG...

    Dragon 398: Rituals Index

    While I thought it was an amazing article, it has a "we're done with rituals, here's all of what we made for you guys" feel to it, IMO. I sure hope you are right.

    Dragon 398: Rituals Index

    Rituals are such an amazing part of 4e. It's a pity Wizards have nearly abandoned them.

    Strength Clerics Getting Away With Warpriest Domains

    As someone who loves Strength clerics (or at least the idea of a melee cleric), I hate that the "classic" build is very poor supported.

    Were MM1 monsters truly underpowered?

    brad: I don't think that's the case. I DM for a group with a bad Warlock (ie, the player plays his char very poorly) and semi optimized Fighter and Paladin (ie, they try to optimize it, but they go for cool instead of maximum DPR). The Fighter is striker oriented and the Pally is leader...

    Adventures akin to Tomb of Horrors (RPGA rewards, ie Gygax, version)

    Hey everyone, I usually never play published adventures and always have been on of those "prepare my own adventures" sort of guy. I always though published adventures were too rigid and never bothered to buy one. So last summer the Tomb of Horrors remake reaches my doorstep and I have since...

    Dragon 376 - MM3 Playtest: The Volcanic Dragon

    I just feel sorry for my players. They are lvl 9 right now, so the elite lvl 8 is not an option. That leaves us with... whoops.

    How to handle mass NPCs traveling/following the PCs?

    Have you ever watched Lost? Imagine if they gave each of the 48 initial survivors the same screen time. Instead, they chose to focus in only a dozen or so, and the rest is just background.

    D&D 4E 4e "Unearthed Arcana": House Rules & Build Options

    I would really like to see a balanced system where races get no adjustmen to ability scores (or very little / very flexible), because I absolutely hate wanting to do a Dwarf Fighter / Cleric or a Human Something and knowing that I'm going to truly miss a +1 in the ability modifier. I tryed...

    Order of the Stick 679

    Is anyone really annoying by how artificial the dialogue sounds because Rich is still trying to leave ambiguity in V's gender? It was a fun gimmick when he was in the Xykon dungeon, but now that V got a nice storyline, it is sounding very forced with the "mate" talk.

    Dragon 379: Assassin Heroic Tier

    Just FYI, I twittered mikemearls asking him about the enemy's awareness of the shrouds: me: @mikemearls Is an enemy aware of the Assassin's Shrouds? mearls: @jpjandrade I believe an enemy is not aware of them. Much more cool that way, even though it raises the question of which powers in an...

    Party Nearly wipes. Did I handle this right?

    Well, I also think you did fine, but saying that won't make Bob any happier, will it? The only thing I can say, from personal experience, is that I had a similar situation. The party was supposed to be bait for a Dragon, so a rogue could get in the Dragon's cave and steal a magic item. The...

    So what are the thoughts on the RPGA?

    I played a few times and intend on playing on a weekly basis from now on. I don't think it replaces the "traditional" D&D, but my group gets together once a month, so I see it as a quick fix until my campaign moves forward. In the groups I've played, there was little roleplaying and the...

    Drawing a dragon out of his cave.

    Hey ENWorld! In my next session, my players will have to bargain with some wizards so they can cast a high level ritual for them. But they have no way to pay for the spell, so they will have to do something in return. So I was thinking this morning and thought that an encounter with a dragon 5...

    Hands up who wants to play the healing battery?

    I understand why people hate the priest in WoW, all you do is healing. But you're being a little unfair to the D&D Cleric now. Don't know about the older ediitons (I started in 3rd), but in 3rd edition, the cleric was an uber melee killer machine, better than the fighter and the paladin, and...

    Is PHB 2 really "Core?"

    Sorry, I got the source wrong. It's in the DMG, one of the first pages. It says you need a Dungeon Master's Screen and D&D miniatures to play

    Is PHB 2 really "Core?"

    Yeah, I hate it too. I think it has the potential to be frustratingly confunsing to a new player. Another "very minor thing" that I absolutely hate everytime I read is the PHB sections on "what you need to play", and they list D&D miniatures there. I hate this so much, because when I started...
