Alex here, with the maximum level of Ritual Report! In part 5 we’ve got the best and the brightest rituals that you can pick up as level 21-30 characters! These are the top dogs of the spellbooks, the senior spells that make the wimpy freshman give up their lunch money! The baddest of the bad, [...]

“That’s like saying you don’t enjoy icecream because you tried to eat it using your bare hands.”
What could I possibly be talking about!?

I’ve compiled a bunch of mini-reviews together for each article detailed in this issue of Dragon magazine.
The Seeker

Abyssal Genasi
The equivalent to deformed in the Genasi community, their abyssal counterparts are shunned for their bizarre manifestations. Genasi are closely connected to the elemental planes of existance and in the cosmology of their world, [...]

The Vistani are the D&D equivalent of gypsies. Not really a race but a cultural heritage. It feels more like a race because of the potency of their encounter power (Evil Eye of the Vistani) and the feats that augment it. The Vistani Heritage feats are like getting access to a second set of really [...]

It’s a little strange reviewing material released by Wizards of the Coast for 4th Edition D&D. At first, I could compare the material to 3rd Edition and make some very insightful judgments based sheerly upon that. Since then 4th Edition has truly sunk into to my (and hopefully your) psyche as a truly superior tabletop [...]

Forum Friday is here! This time, I take a look at one fan’s list of handmade feats…

The first in a new series of articles! Nick offers his insights on creating a new 4th Edition D&D campaign.

This is just a compilation of house rules I found on a thread called “What are your house rules?” where people listed short and sweet summaries of what kind of stuff they do in their D&D campaigns. Here, I’m going to break down why I think some are pretty nifty, to pretty mediocre, to pretty stupid.

The Ranger is one of my favorite classes. In 3rd Edition is was far too easy to crank their damage up to 11 by picking a few select feats and making sure to have a nice attack bonus. What made them really wonderful was part of what made the Paladin wonderful. They were a class that could physically attack their target but had more options because of their access to spells. A lot of people love these guys because of some classic characters in literature that were Rangers, guys like Aragorn or Drizzt.

It’s understandable to see how they would fill new Player’s Handbooks and Monster Manuals, but another DMG? Read the review to find out how they do it…

I peruse the D&D forums a fair amount. There’s a lot on mix-max theories, home-brewed rules, and arguments why something new introduced in a supplemental book or magazine is lame or breaks the game. It’s a lot of people obsessing over theoretical nonsense instead of what makes the game actually fun or interesting. Forum Fridays brings you the gems that I manage to find in the desolate wasteland that is the official D&D forums.

A lot of people complained that the Fight Weapon Talents included in the original Player’s Handbook were far inferior to Martial Power’s Tempest Technique. This Dragon Magazine article aims to redeem such a mistake.

Beautiful and obvious. This class is conceptually what the 3rd Edition Ranger was. An archer that wields the power of nature on his side, shooting arrows and wielding magic. I loved the classic Ranger. One of my favorite characters ever was part of a Ranger-Paladin duo. I’m glad to see it return in spirit with a name that I dig a lot

I wasn’t doing these D&D Insider articles a few months back, so it’s taken me a bit to go back and mentally digest the plethora of material that was already available.
