One d8 topics

DND 4e is an interesting game system but has a lot of pitfalls. This blog is intended as a guide for new and experienced players. It will be a place to find examples of gameplay which illustrate how the rules interact in practise.

In areas where the rules as written (RAW) appear to be broken or not conducive to fun there may be posts on house rules. Any such rules will be clearly marked to avoid confusion.

The initial list of topics under consideration:
  • Stealth, concealment and invisibility
  • Line of sight, line of effect and vision types
  • Surprise rounds
  • Resists, vulnerabilities and immunities
  • Immediate reactions, immediate interrupts and attacks of opportunity
  • Readied actions and delayed actions
  • Modifier stacking
  • Non-power actions in combat
