OK here's a 3.5e question:
I would like to DM for our DM at some point in the future. It will just be the two of us (total nerd date xd ) but I've not had much experience in DMing. Any good modules for newbie DMs that I can run a solo adventure for him through?

He's quite experienced and I'm willing to playerDM as necessary. I like the challenge of resisting the temptation of metagaming.

There's a silly one that I found on the WotC site a while back called "Something's Cooking." It has a Calzone Golem in it. It squirts boiling hot tomato juice when you hit it with a sword.

I am not kidding about this.

I've got a quick question for 4th Edition.

you have 10 resist fire and take 5 fire damage...

for the sake of triggers for powers that trigger off taking a specific damage type, like fire damage, does it still count as you taking fire damage if you resisted all the damage?
I'm going to imagine not but I dunno.

I'm not familiar with 4e, but 3.5 had a similar issue involving injury effects [ie: wounding or poisons] and Damage Reduction.

The theory is if you have an effect that occurs when you take damage [fire damage, physical damage, etc], if you have another ability that negates or reduces that type of damage, the triggered effect cannot occur since you never got hurt in the first place.

So, if you get a benefit from taking fire damage, but it did not overcome your fire resistance, you never took the fire damage.

Just got done modifying a Juggernaut from 3.5. I'm gonna try and spring it one of these days. I'll trollface if they can't beat it.
