Does the Tarrasque cause flying creatures to plummet to their death? I'm genuinely curious about this. I know it's just a game, and a game with magic besides, but I like there to be a little realism in things like physics too. If you are moved from 150ft to 20ft altitude at speed, why would you stop at 20ft, especially if moved by something that is hostile to you? |

Does a Flaming Sphere gain combat advantage with its initial attack against a prone enemy? @J. Strange I have to agree that this ability makes the most sense to my mind as a ranged attack with a 5 foot range. "Any creature that starts its turn adjacent to the sphere" <<== this would take a lot of effort for melee attacks, whereas a 5 foot 'laser' could easily shoot out in all directions, or it could go through a mini explosion that affects everything within 5 feet. It just makes no sense as a melee attack to me. The alternative is rolling through every nearby occupied square which would normally take a move action. |

Converting D&D 3.5 characters to D20 Modern characters @Duffadash While I do agree with you, I think the prevailing sentiment is that you can't. For instance, there's no way to convert a level 1 wizard because there is no entry level casting class. The class systems are just too different. |

How can I make D&D 4e work as a “play by post” game? @SevenSidedDie Dying. It hasn't been switched off yet though. |

How can I make D&D 4e work as a “play by post” game? @Baelnorn Using a totally cheat-proof dice roller can blow up in your face if you need to fudge numbers occasionally to make sure your party isn't wiped out. It's a judgement call either way. Personally, I just directed my players to the dice roller on the Wizards site. |

Converting D&D 3.5 characters to D20 Modern characters My point was that magic is far rarer in Urban Arcana than D&D. A 5th level D&D character would run circles around even a 7th or 8th level caster in UA simply because the UA character can't even learn to cast till around 3rd or 4th level. It's an interesting predicament. You should be able to convert the other classes relatively cleanly though, if you're looking to stick to the rulebook. Unfortunately the two class systems don't really mesh very well... are you looking to convert classes too? Or maybe someone smarter than me will come up with something. I hope so, sounds like a good idea. :) |

Converting D&D 3.5 characters to D20 Modern characters Also, related info but definitely not a duplicate: rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/5928/… |

Converting D&D 3.5 characters to D20 Modern characters I assume you're planning to allow full magic in the original characters? This could be an issue, as UA only lists spells to level 5, and has a somewhat limited spell list compared to D&D3.5. There's also no level 1 spell casting class as far as I'm aware (they are all advanced/prestige classes). I do like the idea though. I'm currently running one the other way (d20 Modern in a mostly high fantasy setting) |

What tools or strategies have you found useful when not all players can be in the same physical space? In the same sort of vein, Mumble is a great option also: mumble.sourceforge.net |

Are there any established rules for flying in combat for D&D 3.x or d20 Modern? Exactly what I was looking for, thankyou. |
