Hi all. My group played 3.5 for a long time and only recently decided to try 4E. So we're all kind of new to the whole thing. So please forgive my ignorance. I'm sure this is a really stupid question, but here goes anyway: If a wizard has an ongoing spell effect (one that is sustained by a...

Thanks! I'm totally buying a copy!

Hey, what ever happened to the movie they were making based in the Midnight setting? I remember seeing an awesome trailer for it a few years back, but then I never heard anything again. Did it go straight to DVD? If so, does anyone know where I can find it? Thanks in advance.

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered a dozen times, but this is the first time it has come up in my campaign. So please bear with me... Can a Rod of Flame Extinguishing negate a red dragon's breath weapon? (I'm assuming that if it could work, it would have to be readied to do so...

Session 86: Capturing the Roundhouse 5th of Harvester (continued). A hill giant sentry in the round tower had detected the party and they had to decide quickly how to react. Alees hid. Alexander drew a wand and cast invisibility. Killick cast spider climb on Grimlock. But before combat could...

Session 85: Arrival at Kongen-Thulnir 7th of Reaping - 4th of Harvester. While many members of the party paid to have magic items improved or crafted, Talon was the party member who spent the longest amount of time crafting items herself - a total of 53 days. During this time, Killick spent...

Sessions 83 - 84: The Heroes of Legend Approximately 1500 years earlier. After Alexander drank from the Fountain of Dreams, all of the members of the party were overwhelmed by a rush of alien yet strangely familiar memories. The landscape around them swirled away into a vortex of lightning and...

Sessions 80 - 82: Completing the Four Tasks 3rd of Reaping. Since the Roc feather that Quethos had had in his possession had been incinerated by his suicidal Flame Strike, the party decided to head toward the mountaintop where they had seen the lightning strike once more. But this time, they...

Sessions 77-79: Confronting Quethos 1st of Reaping (continued). Once the party members were convinced that the four mysterious Watchers would not return, the party members began speaking among themselves, strategizing. They surmised that the lightning strike indicated that Darl Quethos's team...

Whoever combined the threads regarding James Mishler's "ramblings" has mis-spelled his name (which is written at the top of his website in the left-hand sidebar). There is no "C" in Mishler. Also, I think it is inappropriate to call his submissions "rants". I hope a moderator will consider...

C'mon Erik! I just saw Erik's reply to Mishler's second post (above). Erik, I think you owe it to yourself to apologize. The guy is simply stating his view and backing it up with his well-considered and carefully laid-out reasons. Of course, you don't have to agree with his conclusions...

I, like Crothian, live in Columbus, OH. And when I went to my FLGS (i.e. the Guardtower), the guy behind the counter had never even heard of Free RPG Day. I believe his exact words were, "You're the second guy who's asked me about this today. What is it?" Needless to say, I came away...

Session 76: The Lost Island of the Order of the Storm 1st of Reaping. Having met with Lashonna at midnight the previous night, the party members were convinced of the urgency of finding Tilagos Island before Darl Quethos and his minions did. Killick and Talon mounted his Ebon Steed and flew...

Sessions 72-75: Invitation to Zeech's Party [IOU an account of how the party members fared, who they encountered, and what they learned at Zeech's bizarre garden party.]

Sessions 68-71: Into the Arena [IOU an account of the party's combats as participants in a gladiatorial combat celebrating Prince Zeech's 20th year of rulership.]

Session 67: Welcome to Alhaster [I have gotten way behind on my recaps due to increased workload. I will complete this recap as soon as possible.]

The rules for Spell Immunity say that it functions pretty much the same as Spell Resistance. Since Spell Resistance can be voluntarily dropped to receive beneficial spells, I thought the same would apply to Spell Immunity. So I crafted an encounter for my gaming group in which a spell caster...

Session 66+: Trouble in Diamond Lake 7th of Coldeven. The party returned to Magepoint after defeating the denizens of Kuluth-Mar in the Amedio Jungle. They spent the better part of a week enjoying some well-earned relaxation. 12th of Coldeven. In the absence of any immediate threats or...

Personally, I agree with all three responders so far that allowing an Empower Rod to empower a Scorching Ray spell that is memorized by the caster in a 5th level spell slot (using the caster's own Maximize Spell feat) is a bit much. But I need to give my player the benefit of the doubt, so...

Hi. My party's wizard wants to use a *Lesser* Empower Rod to empower a *Maximized* Scorching Ray. I understand that it is OK to empower a maximized spell, and I know the rules for doing it. What I'm not sure about is whether the Maximized Scorching Ray counts as a 1st-3rd level spell for the...
