Thanks. I was considering doing a call-out for a 4E age of worms conversion, so the fact that I just so happened to stumble upon this was really rather convenient. My party and I just started the campaign arc starting at Keep on the Shadowfell, but I was hoping to find a 4E conversion of Age of...

My friends and I all love to get together and try to play an adventure of D&D. The trouble is, once we run through about half of an adventure, the steam runs out, and we stop playing the adventure. A few weeks later, we repeat the whole process. It is very, very frustrating.:rant: However, one...

I am thinking about having my characters face of against ethergaunts as the main opponents in the higher level in my campaign, but unfortunately the 3 kinds of ethergaunts just aren't enough to make them the main foe, and the highest CR is only 17, while I need a CR 20 ethergaunt (preferably)...

In truth, this wasn't originally for D&D, and I only recently thought to convert it. As such, the rules aren't created yet. As above, I was going to work them out when I got there. I needed just the names first. I feel that having it as Con just didn't make sense. It could be for other...

I still think that vermin (insects) and animals (well...animals) are different. I think that the real reason they're different is because the designers wanted to point out the differences instead of pointing out the similarities; as such, the vermin and animal types split. True. What I meant...

Dire animals are not just larger: they tend to have red eyes, and always have bone-like plate on them. They are also a lot more violent, and have more muscle mass/size to match. Monstrous vermin, on the other hand, tend not to have these physical abnormalities. Your right...still, these...

OK, so I got board and made up a new list of skills, but unfortunately I now think its really good! So I was wondering if someone could read through them and tell me which changes I should make. Balance* (Dex)--balancing in tough situations Bluff* (Cha)--telling lies Calligraphy (Wis)--your...

You guys are focusing on what these characters are, not how they feel. A wasp can't really harm a person...maybe one hp. On the other hand, even a manta ray deals 1d4+1 (?) damage on a hit. Also, animals can't make up swarms, and while animals can become things like dire, only a spider can...

My (slightly rude) solution is simple: don't be a dick! (I really hope your the DM, cause this is designed for the DM to fix it.) On the other hand, pretend to be using the RAW. Give the players a chance to stop the dungeon regen (a magic orb, etc) that they can get by fighting a few more...

You've really got 4 options before you: 1. Kill the game: Obviously a bad idea! It doesn't do anything to fix the problem, and completely ends any possible that the "idiot" will simply leave the game himself. 2. Do nothing (what I did the first time it came up, a decision I will never let...

I disagree. You see, the character dealt massive damage on a crit at 6th level, is next to impossible to hit, and has DR 5/(something...) and energy resistance 5 to a whole bunch of things. On the other hand, I encourage power gaming, JUST AS LONG AS it goes hand-in-hand with roleplaying...

Are you a player or DM? For a player, you can get a wizard apprentice through the leadership feat, simply making your companion another wizard. As a DM, I would definitely recomend that the NPC stay as far away as possible when the players are adventuring. Adding in a free NPC can be a real...

OK, so I got this great idea for a character. He is a butler/servant of a lord or otherwise influential character in the party, and has sworn his loyalty to this other party member. He dresses as a butler even in combat, but hides two large swords (thinking great-sword and bastard sword, monkey...

Curiously, the same player has made a half-dragon half-orc who has taken a lot of aberrational feats. He explains himself as being half-dragon, quarter-orc, eighth-human, and eighth-aberration. For some reason, he either plays a bard or a fighter who has at least 2 different races mixed in. In...

I was wondering, "Why in the name of every god in all of the books can a character with a measly +10 bonus jump from 10 ft to 30 ft!?" Clearly, I'm missing something...

I think that their is a rather clear-cut division between the two, seeing as how worms, arachnids, insects, etc are different from animals. Won't players also wonder why insects are suddenly animals too? I know that, as a player, I would have. Still, this does seem to make since. I would be...

Or you could always dock his power a few CR, then give him turn immunity and watch as the cleric is shocked his powers don't work. The spell interdiction (Spell Compendium, some other books as well...) blocks of a cleric from his deity. Give him this spell, either as a spell he would just know...

My feeling about this is that dragons tend to spend most of their time laying around in giant caverns, and that the only reason they have massive treasure hoards is because they spent 1,000 years collecting them. Because of this, they tend not to be very capable of taking a lot of levels... In...

My players have recently begun wondering why races require racial HD, and don't want to have to take levels in humanoid just to play a cool race. Would it be fair to, for example, simply just have racial HD become LA +(HD/2) or something?

Well, one thing that could be happening, seeing as how the players have yet to hear anything of this massive army of these things just floating about, have reports come to them of a massive orb of spirits surrounding an ancient ziggaret somewhere in this swamp. As the characters approach, they...
