I'm thinking about starting an online 4e game with the pathfinder setting. I'd prefer to do one of the pathfinder APs, but I am unsure which one would work best, both in terms of ease of conversion and for running in an online setting.

Any suggestions?

I'm looking through the first few GameMastery Module products, and I'm not seeing the declaration of product identity or of open game content. Am I just missing these? I've checked both D0 and D1.

Okay, since a monk's unarmed strike is considered both a natural and a melee weapon (and can be affected by spells or effects that target either), can a monk effectively gain the unarmed attack damage a monk one size larger by taking the Improved Natural Attack feat?

I've checked the errata and FAQ and haven't been able to dig up an answer.

For relatively high hd creatures with class levels, I'm finding the point at which they hit epic progression, and which parts of classes hit epic progression confusing...

A medusa cleric 15 has 21 class levels - 6 monster levels, 15 cleric levels. Does she stop receiving spell slots (the epic rules would suggest so), or does the spell level progression continue until hitting 20th class level?

I'm finding epic progression a little confusing... this is probably why I focus on low and mid level adventures.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I have a question on progression for monsters with class levels, especially for spell casting monsters:

A medusa cleric has 6 hit dice from it's "monster" levels... at Cleric 15 - does the epic progression start??? which is to say, under epic rules a creature stops gaining additional spell slots at 20th level... and Cleric 15 would put the medusa at level 21.

epic levels aren't my strongest suit, and with monster and multi-classed characters I'm finding some of the rules a little confusing.

Some clarification? Anyone?

My husband is starting his Eberron campaign this weekend. We roled up characters three weeks ago, just before the two of us left for our vacation, which left plenty of time for me to work on developing a character history for my character, which I will post shortly. Since no one else has submitted character histories yet I only have a vague idea of what the party will look like at the moment. Also, I am rarely a player anymore, so I plan on enjoying the play as much as possible. Our group consists of five men and two women - every player at the table will be thirty or above (well, this is almost true, since the last holdout turns thirty in about two weeks).

We're adventuring in Eberron, and the first adventure will begin somewhere in Sharn. The characters are:

Solange - A female elven cleric of the Undying Court from Aerenal
Wik - A changling Rogue hailing from the Lhazaar Principalities
An as yet unnamed Shifter Ranger (probably from the Eldeen Reaches)
An as yet unnamed Warforged Fighter (the youngest character, only five years old)
Jotokantash, a kalashtar wizard
Solonovakhtash, a kalashtar monk.

I will be playing Solonovakhtash, the kalashtar monk. His character history (somewhat subject to change, since I may try to bring in elements of the other characters histories) will follow in the next post.

My husband would like to submit an adventure query with me jointly (we're working on the adventure idea together). The Standard Disclosure form is clearly intended for an individual submission, and the writer's guidelines don't seem to cover this situation.... how would you prefer to receive the query? Should we both just sign on the Submitter line...

How should we proceed? Please let us know.

Thanks!

I was struck by a couple of things in issue #118. Erik's editorial was one... Too Young for Nostalgia - I wish I was. I can't be much older than Erik, but I certainly have enough nostalgia for things to go around. I remember the poster maps from that boxed set, and I am still hoping to see Saltmarsh properly labeled when I see the appropriate part of the new map. While I am happy to see the map a reality (and I am, as a child of cartographers I have a great love for maps), adventures are what tend to call to me in the nostalgia department. When Dungeon did its review of the top 30 adventures of all time, I was thrilled to see so many of my favorites. I was especially pleased to see that B4 made the cut. It was the first adventure that I ever owned, and I've always had a soft spot for it.

A Prison Mail writer in the same issue asked for more classic adventures to be redone or paid homage to in the pages of Dungeon magazine (for that writer's information, in case he didn't know and is reading, Keep on the Borderlands was revisited in Return to the Keep on the Borderlands, a late 90s title I regret I do not own). Since classic adventure locations and characters do occasionally appear in both Dragon and Dungeon, I was wondering what the process is. All of the material is clearly copyrighted... is it fair game for queries, or does Wizards of the Coast, or your editorial board, need to specifically solicit such adventures or backdrops? Just curious.
