    I didn't want to change the damage modifiers. Was tempted to but I'll end up changing him up until he gets put into play. Was a good idea, though! Changed the special text in regards to the full discipline move action to "Can only be used once per round." So in that way it's kept open for him...

    Stole is the past tense of 'steal'. As in 'I just stole a bunch of apples form that farmer. And now he's pissed.' It's also a piece of clothing. Good times. Apologies if I've confused the hell out of you. As to the monk (see PDF attached), I've added a triggered encounter power. So if he hits...

    He's a friend, not a close friend, but a friend. Know him through another guy that we're playing with. I tend to keep the game loose as I'd rather tha players have fun and enjoy themselves. Instead of treating it them like they haven't done their homework by not writing up their backstory or...

    Monk NPC Template

    Here's the second attempt. Basically just doubled his HP & XP, stats aren't too different, in fact they're the same. Defences too. Think this will work. He's got movement: as a monk I feel he needs to jump around as much as possible. He's got multiple target attacks: area of effect encounter...

    Monk NPC Template

    Problem is, I'm a little worried that if I do push the player for too much he'll lose interest altogether. It's hard enough to these guys together for a game let alone make them write a full backstory. I'm sure he's put thought into it. Just not written it down. Plus the guy himself likes being...

    This is pretty close to what I had in mind! Hope you don't mind, but I stole a few ideas from it too. Here's my effort, what are your thoughts? Githyanki Monk Medium Natural Humanoid Level 10 Skirmisher XP 500 HP 101 Bloodied 50...

    So you recommend grabbing a monster from the monster manual, scale it to the right level, and chuck a few powers on him? Keeping it all in flavour of what I'm trying to achieve?

    Monk NPC Template

    Hey gang, I'm finally up to the custom created portion of the campaign. Having played through the red box and the Reaver's of Harkenwold adventures. But I need a little help. I'm attempting to build my very first NPC but have no idea where to start. This NPC in particular will feature a little...

    Strategies for Missing Players?

    Thanks a bunch guys and/ or gals! Some good suggestions in there. So far we have tried a few different things. But it's gotten to the point where we don't think he is interested in playing with us at all. Mainly because he doesn't really know me that well. And while he is friends with others...

    Strategies for Missing Players?

    So in the game I'm running as GM there are a couple of players that are notorious for missing games. One in particular that hasn't turned up for the past 3 sessions and is set to miss the 4th. Even though it's been planned for nearly 3 weeks now. In order to combat this I actually initially...

    Adventurers! Mount Up! [Or how the hell do mount mechanics work?]

    First up, sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I'm in Queensland where we've just had the huge floods. In addition to that, I work in a news room for the ABC so it's been quite hectic the past couple of weeks! Anyway, continuing on with the discussion... I've been doing it wrong so far. One...

    Adventurers! Mount Up! [Or how the hell do mount mechanics work?]

    So, my group is pretty keen on getting mounts. I'm a little apprahensive of letting them do this. Simply because I'm unsure of the rules. I don't want to make it too difficult for myself, being a fairly new DM. The DMG 1 only has the info regarding travel time over long distance. Not combat or...

    Sacaling monsters, scaling XP?

    Pg56 of the DMG. :blush: I read the books, but it's just too much information for me to comprehend!

    Sacaling monsters, scaling XP?

    Thanks for confirming that! I'm guessing there's a table that lists all the different roles & levels & XP values somwhere....

    Sacaling monsters, scaling XP?

    Another newbie question. And yes, there will probably be a lot of these from me! So, I'm looking at leveling up some of the monsters in the MM based on the info in the DMG. By adding +1 to defenses etc.. But, when making the monsters a higher level, does that have an effect on their XP level? I...
