In D&D, A PC became king. How do I keep him in check? +1 Great points. Running a kingdom is one thing, but running an evil kingdom is quite another... |

Optimized “Coordinated Charge”? You don't actually need to put "Pathfinder" at the beginning of your question titles. The question has a Pathfinder tag that will show up everywhere the question does - this already conveys it's a Pathfinder question |

What are the major differences between Pathfinder and D&D 4e? +1 for the first differences, -1 for saying 4e is for casual players and Pathfinder is for hardcore players. ;P |

As a DM, how do I handle PCs casting heals on other PCs afflicted with paranoia? @SevenSidedDie Is it that they're casting a healing spell on an unwilling target? |

As a DM, how do I handle PCs casting heals on other PCs afflicted with paranoia? Sure, an optimizer could go that route, but they'd have to suffer everything else a low will save gives them. Doesn't seem worth it. |

How can I hint to Changeling players that they should use their kenning? @Pureferret That's being worked out on meta, but actual changes in use are being postponed until the contest ends, so maybe for now we're just following the current trends (which may need changing)? |

How do I, as a DM, help a girl integrate into a group of all male role-players? "things I should say to the other players to prevent her feeling isolated." This is more helpful but depends on your group; maybe they'll handle themselves fine (albeit in a borderline-autistic way) around her. Do you really think they won't? If so, express your concerns about how they won't so people can respond. This could actually be a good question perhaps. |

How do I, as a DM, help a girl integrate into a group of all male role-players? "What sort of things should I be doing to help her feel more engaged?" She already is engaged; she enjoyed playing with y'all enough to come back next time, didn't she? / "but am looking for things I can do to make her enjoy herself more at the table" She already is enjoying herself, isn't she? / "any advice on changes I might make to the game (more social encounters for example, she appears to be an 'actor')" That's a question about actor players, not girls. |

What are the advantages and disadvantages of develop in play (DIP) compared to develop at the start (DAS) character generation? I'm voting to close this question as it seems to be not a good subjective question. Maybe it was different at the time of creation, but I don't think it fits here. |

What are the best ways to utilize Wisdom and Charisma? Your definition of Wisdom is only a subset of D&D's definition for it. For instance: Wisdom also includes compassion and environmental awareness, hence Wisdom being used for perception (spot, listen) and insight (sense motive). The same may be true for the other attributes you're grappling with: you may not have the full picture. |

How do I, as a DM, help a girl integrate into a group of all male role-players? @Archwillow I'm voting to close this as not constructive. There isn't necessarily a problem here. You're assuming her sex means there's problems: that's a problem, and singling her out because she's a girl is more likely to make her feel like she doesn't fit in than anything else. The question mxyzplk contains very relevant answers. Read this one by a girl gamer, in which she says it's ok to treat her like "one of the guys". But also read this one and/or all the others giving advice on how to not be a jerk. |

What Assassin's class feature should have “hybrid” tag if I were to hybrid it with another class? Please join us in chat so we can discuss your question and clarify it. The second is unclear; the first is already answered in plain text in books: a simple search on the D&D 4e Compendium will reveal there is already a Hybrid Assassin class (DDI) described in Dragon Magazine 385. |

What Assassin's class feature should have “hybrid” tag if I were to hybrid it with another class? #2 seems unrelated to #1 - split it into another question if so. You don't have a limited budget of questions you're allowed to ask, so ask separate questions separately. |

How do I, as a DM, help a girl integrate into a group of all male role-players? Does she need to be helped like this? Has she actually shown signs of not fitting in well, or said she isn't? She's a girl, but she's not from an alien planet. She's a person playing with other people. Can you invite her in like any new player? Does her sex really warrant extra measures? |

Do Powerful Build and Monkey Grip Stack? @Pohpoh You may be thinking of this sentence from Powerful Build's description: "Whenever a goliath is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the goliath is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him." There doesn't appear to be any statements like what you're describing. |

What Book is “Everything in the Book” power from? @ObliviousSage Unless it is from Multiple Sources. :( Then you need DDI to find out what those sources are. |

Is it common to wear costumes when (tabletop) roleplaying? I don't mean chatty as in full of you chatting. I mean chatty as in this is only chatting about the topic at hand, without responding to the question. I am sure it is no surprise you can wear gamer shirts to a game and in general. The question isn't about that. |

Does the Direct The Strike power provoke OA? @Soulrift I've never quite been clear on what is and isn't an attack. For instance, from the rules compendium's entry on Attack: "Some attack powers include multiple attacks, and some powers, such as magic missile, are designated as attacks yet lack attack rolls (using such a power counts as making an attack if the power has a target)." Magic Missile doesn't seem to have any particular designation except that it says "Wizard Attack 1" in the top right; Direct the Strike has "Warlord Attack 1" and has a target. |

Does Staff of Provocation allow enemy attack himself? His second question, as written, was to say player 1 targets himself to attack player 1. Maybe there was a typo there. @Kai, did you mean to say choosing yourself to player 2 in your second question? If so, please edit your question to clarify. :) |
