I definitely like the idea of using one space per shape instead of the grid I was thinking of. I was also worried about how to expand the box's power later on, so having spaces they don't have blocks for yet would be a great way to do that. I love the idea of building an actual box as a prop...

One thing about my players, they love to collect things. In order to satisfy this, I've been trying to come up with an idea that will let them collect something useful over the course of my adventure. I read an idea online about a box that could conjure items after its given some sort of input...

Kitsune: Thanks for the tips on Pathfinder. We're going to keep looking into that one. As for Warhammer, we hadn't even thought of it. I'm going to throw it out on the table and see what the rest of the group thinks. Malenkirk: From what I've seen of Shadowrun, it looks like something that...

I wasn't sure where to post this question, but here seemed to be appropriate. I apologize if it should've been somewhere else. My group and I are looking for a different system to try out. We started playing D&D 4E a couple years ago and loved it. Since then a few of our members, myself...

One of the groups I play in is playing D&D 4E and I'd change the power system in it if I could figure out a good way to do it. I'd definitely prefer a fatigue point system for powers, like something similar to what GURPS has, but it seems like it'd be impossible to balance everything with a...

It wasn't a charge. He just moved next to me and attacked.

The extent of the reach wasn't made explicitly obvious. It was a large creature, so I figured it had a reach of some sort, but the DM didn't specify anything. Also, thanks for all the responses. It's nice to have some outside input into situations like this.

Here's the scenario: Creature with reach 3 runs right up next to my wizard and attacks. I use an immediate interrupt to teleport 2 squares away (I didn't know he had reach). Is my wizard still hit because I'm still within his reach? Or does the creature miss because he targeted a square that I'm...

I think this power is fine as is. More than once I've been in an encounter where this has happened: DM: The goblin hits you with his sword. Me: I teleport away. DM: *sigh* Fine, this other goblin moves toward you and hits you with his sword. *wizard gets turned into a pincushion* Unless you...

The only PC death I've been around was based solely on storyline. The DM had a couple years pass in between a couple of our sessions and as the beginning of a new story-arc started the session off with a message being delivered to our characters telling them that our cleric had been killed. (It...

Thanks for all the responses. It was pretty awesome and in the end the ruling didn't affect the outcome of the encounter, but I think I have a better understanding of rules regarding teleportation and how people generally deal with it.

If you wanted to be strict about the rules, you probably could have checked the ranger's weight against how much the fighter can actually lift (determined by his STR) and use that to determine if he could even make an attack with his far too trusting ally. I'm a fairly new DM myself, so this...

The monster had simply grabbed me as per the usual grab rules. The next turn, with me still grabbed, he teleported as a move action (he had a move speed of teleport 6). Hope that clarifies the situation a bit.

I just have a quick question concerning grabs and teleportations. If a monster grabs me, then teleports, do I teleport with it and continue to be grabbed? This came up in a recent game session and I'm just wondering how it should play out. (The DM ruled that I do teleport with the creature and...

The first time my group played, we had a copy of the Player's Handbook (from a friend who had played an earlier version and had picked up the 4E book) and the DMG. By the start of our first session, our DM had read about half of the DMG and skimmed the PH, and this was more than most of the...
