Since about a week ago, I seem unable to grant XP to other posters. Did something change? Or is it a problem with my browser? I'm using the ESR version of Firefox, and there's been an update...

After the forum redesign I cannot seem to find the filter function. Where has it gone? It's rather critical to make use of the "Pathfinder, Starfinder, Older D&D Editions (4E, 3.x, 2E, 1E, OD&D), D&D Variants, OSR" forum.

As some of you may have noticed I've been necroing quite a few 13th Age threads because I've finally caught the bug (better late than never, right?). Alas, there doesn't seem to be a lot of active discussion going on here. For those who are more or less actively playing the game: Do you have...

As of today, when filtering the 'General D&D Discussion + Older Versions' forum for '4e' threads, I get lots of other threads, e.g. '2e' or 'all editions'. Please fix!

Previously, I was able to navigate from the forum overview directly to the subset of 4e topics in the older editions D&D forum. Now they're gone and they don't even show up after entering the forum? What gives?! This is terrible!

While browsing the Atlas Games webpages I noticed something very interesting I don't recall reading about on ENWorld so far: Ars Magica Video Game Kickstarter I haven't heard of Black Chicken Studios before but I'd definitely love to see an Ars Magica video game that properly reflects the rpg...

"You push each target to a square adjacent to the blast. If a target can't be pushed, its space is excluded from the blast." The power can be used to create solid earth (i.e blocking terrain) in a close blast 3. IIRC, the general rule is that I get to choose whether to push the target 0...

Having recently gained a Power Jewel in our 4e Dark Sun campaign, I've been wondering about the lack of the following text in the Online Compendium: I didn't see this change mentioned in any of the Rules Updates. So, does anyone know if this just an omission or an intended change to the item?

I guess it's just that my google-fu is lacking but I couldn't find anything in that regard. It can't be true that no one has ever compiled one, right? I'd be particularly interested in the ones published in Dragon/Dungeon (if any). Thanks in advance for any pointers! P.S.: Here are the ones I...

Adventure module P2 has often been praised as the best of the nine original 4e modules (H/P/E). I've still ignored it so far since I don't particularly care about drow. But since I now had an opportunity to get it at a discount, I finally bought it. My first thought after reading Adventure Book...

Yesterday I started reading 'Heroes of Shadow' and to my surprise found I really like the Executioner class. I understand I'm a bit late to the party since it's just a reprint of Dragon material. Does anyone know if anything about the class was changed compared to the version presented in...

I recently acquired a bunch of 4e supplements at a reduced price and one of them includes the following Utility Power: Encounter Immediate Reaction, Personal Trigger: An attack applies an effect to you that a save can end Effect: Make a saving throw against the triggering effect. What do you...

Since I starting reading the themes chapter I noticed a couple of powers (and other stuff) that make me wonder how they're supposed to work. Since there's no errata on any of them yet, I thought, maybe this would be a good place to collect them. 1) Insidious Poison (p.39): Hit: 2[W] + ability...

I think this is something that's worth its own thread. As you may have noticed already, the (almost complete) new table was 'leaked' by WotC posting a photo of the DM's Kit contents, showing the new DM screen in the background. Here's the accompanying thread, and a direct link to the photo...

When reading MM3 I noticed several monsters which seemed familiar, but when I checked, they were all different variants of previously released monsters (e.g. Norkers, Sons of Kyuss). All except one: Enigma of Vecna (Controller Level 6) first appeared in 'Thunderspire Labyrinth' and is reprinted...

TBH, the only piece of the rules update that currently interests me was the new 'damage by level' chart and the accompanying 'monster statistics by role'. So, I immediately dug in and analysed the changes: 1) Damage By Level: The table is now very clean and the math obvious: Single Target...

Since I couldn't resist the urge to sate my curiosity, and I've apparently got too much time on my hands, I decided to create an Excel table with all damage expressions in Monster Manual 3 :P I was particularly interested how accurate the Quick Fix suggested by Greg Bilsland was and if I would...

I just finished reading 'Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk' and (apart from concluding that it's not the kind of adventure I'm interested in running) I couldn't quite believe my eyes when I read the Cataboligne monster entry: It's a CR 10 monster with an Eye Ray (Su) ability they can use once...

Instigated by the first few excerpts from MM3 and the forthcoming Dark Sun Creature Collection I recently decided to investigate the damage progression tables given in the monster creation guidelines in the DMG. Now, instinctually, like many others I've always felt that monster damage might...

When I recently reinvestigated the monster creation guidelines in the DMG, I noticed that there are also guidelines regarding how high the various ability scores for monsters should be. Quite a while ago I had this idea that appropriate skill check DCs should really be identical to the DCs you...
