    ENWorld blocking my Internet address!

    Starting about 2 weeks ago I found I couldn't get to ENWorld on my computer or portable devices from home. At first I just thought the site was down for maintenance for a few days but then realized I could connect fine at work. I have been working with my ISP today troubleshooting the problem...

    D&D 4E Is character death acceptable in 4e? If so, how often?

    Forked from: Expertise justification? This is a good topic and deserves its own thread IMO. So here's some posts from the other thread before we decided to create this one: So what do people think? Or what have people experienced in their games? I don't think PC death should be common, but...

    How have you used terrain to make combat more tactically interesting & exciting?

    Forked from: How long are your 4e combats taking, real time? Since I got such an excellent response to my first forked thread I'll try another! :) So what have people tried at their table (or seen as a player) that really worked well? What was dynamic, fun and really added a lot to make the...

    D&D 4E How long are your 4e combats taking, real time?

    Forked from: Pace of level advancement in 4th edition D&D I've seen lots of threads about how to try and speed up combat (most of which I've read and found some very helpful tips) but I still don't have a good feel for how long the average combat is taking most groups to play out. Since our...

    4th Edition D&D in the Iowa City / Cedar Rapids, IA Corridor

    I greatly enjoy DMing but haven't had the chance to try the other side of the DM screen for awhile. With 4th Edition I'm looking forward to doing both! On the DM side our group just finished a 4 year homebrew campaign using a 3.5/AE/IH hybrid, and the majority of players would like to continue...

    figure out the RSS link?

    I've just started tweaking my Yahoo Beta homepage and it's got an RSS link as a module. This is one of the few news sites I check regularly and thought I'd try linking them up. I half-remember Morrus making a pitch about the RSS capabilities of the site but can't find in the Help FAQ or as a...

    Is search disabled? AKA What am I doing wrong?

    I haven't really been on the forums much recently, but check the front page essentially daily. I renewed my already active Community Supporter status for another year a few months ago when Morrus started the $19.99 deal. I was just reading through the Rules forum and came across Nifft's latest...

    CSA Renewal Extension

    Although I renewed a couple days ago I just read the part today that requested a post here in Meta about extending my CSA. Not sure what information is needed from me. The transaction ID from PayPal ends in YP034642Y My login has been working fine, both before & after the Great Database Crash...

    Player Defense Rolling

    Here's the file some were requesting from me. It's the handout I provided to my players about a year ago when we adopted this DMG/UA variant. Thanks! DrSpunj

    Renewing my Community Supporter Account ?'s

    Quicken tells me I got my CSA in June of 2003. I then donated to the fund drive in October of 2003 and seem to remember CSAs being offered to donors but I wasn't sure if that meant mine was extended another year to June of 2005 or what. 1) Is there anyway for me to figure out when my CSA...

    Why does the Warmace (CW) have a -1 penalty to AC?

    I don't have my books with me, but here's what I'd emailed a player of mine who was interested in the weapon: > WarMace 25 gp, 1d12 damage, Crits on 20 for x2, weighs 10 lbs and does > Bludgeoning damage; it can be wielded as a two-handed martial weapon but > requires the exotic weapon...

    Why can't I see [code] stuff?

    I've recently realized that whenever someone has used the "code" tags in their post (usually to include a properly formatted table or some such thing) that I'm not able to see it. I only see the word "code:" with a single line gray box where the data should appear. I remember some time ago...

    Are standard Swarms shapable?

    Our DM, Nail, threw three bird swarms at us last week (nuthatches, I guess). Having looked at the Swarm rules myself for my own game only a week or two before, I was surprised to see him maneuver the Swarms into several tetris-like configurations to attack the greatest number of PCs each round...

    Admins disabled Profile email addresses?

    I noticed just now that I couldn't access someone's email address from their profile. I get a message saying the administrator's have disabled this function. At first I thought it was because I'd forgotten to log in, but after doing so I received the same message. I then checked my own profile...

    What are good Prereqs for Uncanny Dodge as a Feat?

    I'm trying to convert all class abilities into feats for my point system worksheet here. A number of them are giving me some troubles. :( Anyone have any good ideas about what kind of prereqs are fair for Uncanny Dodge as a feat? That a Barbarian would meet close to 2nd level and a Rogue by...

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    [EDIT: Much of the system has changed thanks to the comments in this thread, but the underlying system is essentially the same. For the latest downloads go to post #199! Thanks!] In this thread we've been discussing a variant fighter, and talking about whether he deserves a "dead level" at...

    Quoted Text running off the right side of the screen

    I noticed while perusing this thread that several of the quotes are dropping all or part of a single letter along the right border/side of the post. The specific posts are #13 (drops the 'e' from 'be' on the second line of the 2nd quoted text); #15 (part of the second 't' of 'that' at the end...

    Players Roll All the Dice: 11 vs 12?

    I don't have the book, so here's what I know copied from the front page: Players Roll All The Dice -- Each time an enemy attacks a PC, the player rolls a defense check (1d20+character's AC modifiers) against the opponent's attack score (11+enemy's attack bonus). Any time a player casts a spell...

    Grappling with a Flaming Sphere, a burning Web & a trapped Brown Bear?

    Last night my 4th level party fought the Troglodytes and Brown Bear in the Forge of Fury. While the Trogs were nothing more than window dressing (except for their sickening stench) the Brown Bear proved to be a significant challenge, but a couple questions came up during the battle. The Bear...

    Can the Search function PLEASE allow 3 letter words?

    The Search function is awesome. I find myself using it fairly regularly in the Rules forum and occasionally in the House Rules forum as well. However, time and again I am frustrated and thwarted by the "word must be at least 4 letters" requirement. This has prevented me just now from doing...
