I often find that the people who complain about grind, are the only ones that know what they're going to do on their turn. I have two people at one of my tables that are causing a slow down. If it happens next week they will have 10 seconds to choose their action, or i'll pick a default at will...

I keep re reading this over and over and over. Why would a character that can do all this need a party? Edit: I want to actually try to be constructive here: The way i built this character was a hybrid avenger rogue. With a heavy emphasis on powers that let you move people around and chase...

Runepriests themselves do very little damage. However with the buffs he gave that party he was indispensable. I think in the last fight he had a sustain minor giving allies near him +2 ac. And a stance giving adjacent allies +1 to hit. While having those two up he prevented at least 100 damage...

How so, there is nothing they can do as players that i can't seamlessly balance out in the monsters they fight. Having players being powerful should never be a problem, only having players that have enough of a effectiveness difference between them that one player may feel useless. 3d4 brutal 2...

I've been running an all goblinoid campaign for a while now. The pc classes allowed were bugbear, orc, goblin, hobgoblin, kobold. Neither oversized weapons, nor shifting as a minor have caused any problems yet. I think atm i have 2 bugbears, a goblin, 2 kobolds, and an orc.

As far as i know there is no way to get 2 rolls per attack for more than 1 round.

I see nothing stating the door is indestructible...

So you're leaving magic powers in, i must have misread that. I'm just a bit iffy on the taking out of healing surges. But if you're looking to remove the need for extended rests entirely, i guess it works.

I tell all of my players to leave the alignment section blank. My intention was to fill it in myself after a short amount of time, however i haven't really found a need too yet. What I've been taking a long hard look at is the system that vampire uses (2nd edition, apparently there's a new...

I guess we play for the high fantasy feel. Daily powers represent luck and skill coming together in a rare way, and for the players to think before they act, when they want to use their powers and such. Magic items on their own make the players feel more empowered. And the effects can either...

It seems to be purely up to the DM's discretion. However keeping in mind that if someone has a attack power with a heavy crossbow that attacks 3 targets, he's considered to load the thing 3 times, i usually don't let physics get in the way of said "rule of cool".

Sounds like a different game... maybe even a more boring one. I'm using enhancement modifiers in my current campaign, 3 sessions in and i hate it. Daily abilities and magic items just bring to much bonus flavour to the table.

How would using a hammer as an implement affect your combat stats. As a dm, if you were wanting to do it for a bit of extra damage, or efficiency, it would require a feat. If it was PURELY for flavour, i'd let you have the feat for free.

So there have been a few threads that have found me some very good programs for designing campaigns and encounters. I've downloaded and messed around with a few of them (the latest being masterplan, which love). However the problem is that i don't have a computer while i play, I'm not rich...

H2, P1, and P2 are all great. I own most of them, the maps they come with are priceless. H1 having the best map ever made, a road, with rocks, and trees. Used that one far to many times. And whenever i need a random encounter I'll just grab an adventure book the pc's haven't fought through and...
