Is any rest required to level up? You youngsters! Back in my day we had to rest and study for a month per level before we could level up--and couldn't gain any more xp until we'd finished! And we were happy to have that! |

How much control does a Ranger have over what triggers “disruptive strike” and how it is used? You should accept this answer than. |

Can I see through an open doorway? I don't think it's the same as Yogo's answer--the key difference being that you shouldn't confront the DM, you should leave or choose a new DM. This DM is obviously interested in setting up turn-based combat challenges concentrating on strategy--it's a valid choice, but many players don't really want to play that way when they sit down to a P&P game. |

How do underground tunnels stay up? Is it possible to dig under a castle wall without magic to support the tunnel? Look for an old musical called "Paint Your Wagon", that's the theme of the whole movie! :) |

I'm at a loss with “Dungeons and Dragons.” How does one play it, anyway? If you try a few game stores around you some are still running "Encounters Groups". These are free and open to all (although they may ask you to let them know if you will be there). It's not optimal, but it might give you and idea of how it can be played (At least 4th edition D&D, which is much more tactical and less RPGish than any of the others) |

What are the most important differences for a 1st Edition AD&D Dungeon Master learning to run D&D 4E? @Adraino Perhaps ExTSR's explanation of this is better--simply that it's gone from "Anything not forbidden is permitted" to "Anything not permitted is forbidden" making much less choice for the DM. I wasn't saying it was bad or good or that the DM shouldn't override rules, I was just saying it was a different approach. |

What are the most important differences for a 1st Edition AD&D Dungeon Master learning to run D&D 4E? @Adraino What I mean is that the rules are so well specified that the DM CAN BE as restrained as the players and that makes it easier for the DM. It doesn't mean you have to or should play like that, it just means that the rules specify much more detail than in other RPGs I've played, to the point where if the DM wants to constrain himself to the rules as written, he can go all out with a monster and still not kill the characters. In other editions there is always a lot of "Well, it looks to me like you have cover" and "I don't think ou can hit him because of the angle"--none of that in 4th. |

What are the most important differences for a 1st Edition AD&D Dungeon Master learning to run D&D 4E? damn it. I missed that. I don't understand my own post. but If you really mean that you have found a group that can "Role Play" 4e then that's pretty impressive. I've never seen anyone who is happy trying to make 4e a role playing game instead of a strategy game. |
