Hey all, I'm currently playing a 3rd level hybrid ranger|warlord in a 4e game (obviously). I have made a pretty good list (I think) of useful ranger feats for him, but I'm honestly pretty stumped on feats in the heroic tier that would be worth taking to help my party on the leader side of...

Hi all, I live near downtown Toronto (St Clair W station) and am looking for a group to join to play 4e D&D. :) I'm an experienced roleplayer and board gamer. I never know quite what to write here... My favourite games include 4e D&D, Feng Shui, WoW, Settlers of Catan, and Titan...

Spiral Timing (level 11) says "... you can allow one ally you can see to reroll with a bonus equal to your Intelligence modifier. The ally must use the new result." Do they get to roll d20 + their initiative modifier + your Int mod? Or just d20 + your Int mod?

Can anyone connect to rpg.net currently? You guys didn't attach a see-saw to rpg.net's servers, did you? :)

This is actually an adaptation of a monster in Interludes: Sands of Pain, to Iron Heroes. (The only part of that that matters, though, is the way the entry specifies Active and Passive defense.) I found a lot of problems with the writeup in the book as I was typing it up, so I took a crack at...

Hi all, I know at one point, several books were released with a war focus, like Cry Havoc and Fields of Blood. I'm wondering if any of them, magic issues aside, provide details on, for instance... the damage done by boiling oil, the time to dig a tunnel to undermine a wall, the cost (speed...

I've just moved in to Toronto a few weeks ago, and I'm interested in hooking up with local players. After getting a response from someone on rpg.net running a Midnight campaign, I've realized that at this point I can't commit to something like an 8-hour session on a weekend. That's just a lot...

Movies in Japan are even more expensive than in Canada or the US, but I took myself to Roppongi today to watch House of Flying Daggers (aka Lovers). Any reports you may have read of spontaneous applause during screenings at film festivals - well any such applause was well-deserved. This is a...

I was hoping to play a battle sorcerer in an online PbP game (not here), but the DM nixed that idea. I just looked over the eldritch knight, and while I doubt my character will ever reach that level, that seems to be the way to go when restricted to core books only. They don't get any ability...

Did this come out long enough ago that any discussion of it has completely fallen off of the forum? Or has there simply not been any? I picked this up (against the advice of my pocketbook :)) last week and I think it's pretty cool. I'm a huuuuge fan of Greek mythology, mainly. However the...

I figure it must be on one of the other forums, and I need - well, want - to get my address off of it as it does me no good in Canada.

A Torc of Animal Speech (3.0; Masters of the Wild) costs 12k gp. A Ring of Animal Control (3.5) costs 10.8k gp. Both of these are spell-effect items based on 1st level druidic spells, with no material components. The Ring of Animal Control is a command-word item (1800gp), with the effect of...

I understand that the Wilderness Rogue drops some standard rogue skills, which are replaced with more wilderness-y ones (plus having some options for ranger-like abilities). Could someone be kind enough to list what skills are dropped, and what they're replaced with?

Is it possible to change userids? I used to use CCamfield over on rpg.net, and did the same when I started posting here. But some time later, I changed my rpg.net id to "Seroster", and I was wondering if it'd be possible for me to change my userid here to match? I could simply create a new...

Character concept aside - which I can kind of take either way - how much value do you see in ranger spells? Is it worth getting an item which boosts Wisdom in order to cast them? My ranger just turned 4th level, and I put his Wisdom up by 1 to a whopping 10. Since he's level 4, I really have...

Green Ronin has just updated their website with the news that they're releasing a Trojan War d20 game in June. I'm psyched about this one! :) (The other book for June is Modern Magic; I'm unclear on whether this is for d20 or d20 Modern.)

If this thread gets folded in with the one about the state of fantasy, so be it. I figured this was a distinct enough topic that it might be worth starting a separate one. Here's a bunch of standalone fantasy novels I've really enjoyed: The Tower At Stony Wood, by Patricia McKillip Ombria in...

Is it legal to both use your mount as cover (with the Ride skill) and the Mounted Combat feat simultaneously? I see nothing to indicate otherwise, but it does seem a bit cheesy :)

I thought I'd specifically put this question in the context of rangers since druid animal companions are a lot more powerful. "In most cases, the animal companion functions as a mount, sentry, scout, or hunting animal, rather than as a protector." When playing a ranger with an animal...

Does anyone know of stats for a lynx or other wild cat, between the size of a housecat and a leopard? Or care to make something up?
