Ancestor Worship = Vestige Pact We just dealt with this in one of our campaigns with a new player wanting to play a warlock. He re-skinned the 'vestige' concept to be Dwarven Ancestor Worship, so the various vestiges are different Dwarven ancestors that he's created a relationship with and...

If your campaign is a gritty, low-magic setting, it's absolutely perfect. I have a long-running Warhammer Fantasy campaign that we're switching over to 4e, and it's a great fit. Especially 'cause I was extremely stingy with the magic items when we were using WFRP 1e and 2e, so with Inherent...

There's also some 'business practical' reasons. WotC was running into problems with their 'big box' retailers (Barnes & Noble, for example) where they weren't consistently stocking the 'core books' - for example, they'd have PH3 and PH2 but maybe not PH1. And DMG2 but not DMG1. So a beginning...

updating old Monsters (someday) When it comes to updating MM1 and MM2 monsters (or all old monsters for that matter), I find it interesting that the Monster Builder application doesn't currently have the New Math from the July Update. (note, I saw this pointed out in some other posts, but I'll...

re: Character Builder The nice thing about how the CB implements it, the Inherent Bonuses and the Magic Item bonuses don't stack, but it will use the highest one. So if you give out a +3 magic item, and their current Inherent Bonuses are only a +2 to hit, they will benefit from an >extra< +1...

You're right, Aulirophile. I did some searching in the WotC forums and found this enlightening thread from earlier in the year: Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible Seems that WotC Cust Svc is just as inconsistent and confused as we are. :D (side note: looks like I was playing my Wizard's Wall...

The thing to understand about how the systems work: you place the order with DR and their database controls when/if you get billed. But the WotC databases control your access to articles / CB updates. It's entirely possible that DR successfully cancelled your subscription but that a...

I believe the trend is to only allow monsters to be damaged when they >voluntarily< enter the zone (i.e. on their turn, not when you push/pull/slide them into the zone). This is to keep lower level powers, like at-wills that last a turn (eg. cloud of daggers) from becoming abused. Otherwise, you...

Hey Scribble, sorry for the slow response, but looks like mudbunny had my back (thanks MB!). As for any larger, web-site solution to your question... I'm not personally on the web team, but I know that we're working on usability / interface improvements to the site. If I get an opportunity to...

Hi, this is Brian Poel, the Business Manager for D&D Insider. Thought I'd pop-in and give a quick answer to this question. For both the Character Builder and Compendium, they get updated with book data the same month that the book hits the stores -- on the 4th Tuesday of the month, so about a...
