I'm a Master of Information, an MMORPG expert, and in my spare time I dabble in Dungeons and Dragons, mainly 4th edition. I secretly aspire to re-write 4e into AD&D 4.5 and fix all those niggly issues I have with it.

comment How to Manage Player Frustration and Disengagement
The goblin dice article is interesting but deals with large issues rather than the relatively minor round-by-round outcomes of rolls. This isn't about one player, I'd say most in my group are this way. What if they reversed the roll and got a 20? They'd experience the same or even more frustration!

comment Opportunity attacks and immediate interupts per round
Charge basically says "move your speed and make a basic melee attack" thus it has a move component and an attack component, but each triggers when it happens. The attack from a charge only happens after the movement.

comment Are Divine Sanction and Divine Challenge the same thing?
The question was whether or not they can coexist ON A CREATURE. I suppose I should have been more explicit in my answer that they cannot coexist ON A CREATURE.

Unless otherwise specified, a new mark always overwrites (removes) an existing one. In this case, the two Divine marks cannot coexist and applying one removes the other.

comment Challenging pre-made campaign for veteran players but easy on new GMs
Unfortunately, 4th edition's focus on tactical combat was poorly handled by many designers at Wizards, resulting in material that focuses on story over challenge. Having read most of the published material, including Dungeon magazine, I'm resigned to the fact that Wizards was unable to successfully coordinate adventure design and game design principles, leaving DMs with the unfair prospect of having to custom build adventures if they want a meaningful challenge for their players.
