Hey, man, thanks. But that was 4 1/2 years ago. :)

Don't even know if this is the right forum or not, but here goes... I thought the author of astralsea.blogspot.com also showed up here. I was using his commentary on the beginning of the Scales of War AP to help me tweak. It was an awesome set of comments. I'm a little underprepared to DM...

I've started a campaign of Night's Black Agents and last night saw our first mission. Prior to this, I've played short scenarios (more like extended scenes than full "adventures") and I've read all the scraps of advice I can dig up. Overall, the mission went well and everybody enjoyed it. I...

Most of the martial powers of the barbarian seem to have the note "adds the primal keyword after going into berserker rage."

Had an epiphany of clarity and wanted to make sure it was right. We have a Berserker Barbarian in our game and he does loads of damage, even in "Defender Mode." So much so that our Striker player sort of complained about it. So I was trying to crunch the numbers and see where the problem...

Basing it on the "rules interpretation" of the Character Builder, he does get 2 choices. I even went back and chose the skill power first to see if it would deny him a spellbook choice, but it didn't. I still haven't figured out whether he'll get to use both each day (after all, skill powers...

I thought I understood monks, weapons, and ki foci, but the builder has me confused. One of my players has a monk with the ki focus expertise feat. On each of his power cards, he has 4 lines for attack bonus: Monk Unarmed Strike Ki Focus Quarterstaff Ki Focus Monk Unarmed Strike I don't get...

At level 2, a wizard gets 2 Utility powers, but can only prep one per day. If he chooses a Utility Spell and a Skill Power, can he still only prepare one of them per day, even though one is technically not a spell?

We use MapTool at our tabletop game, using a 25" monitor for everyone to look at (as well as separate 15" laptop for the DM). We use published stuff, which allows us to take maps straight from the products and drop them into MapTool, which generally works great (especially when combined with...

I've only been playing 4e for about 8 months, and primarily that has been running 2 campaigns: a skype campaign with a single player running 5 characters and a game with my 6-year old who is also running 5 characters Thus, I've been able to get at the mechanical fun of 4e, but haven't had...

Cool image. The character's a dude, tho'. We found one we like. Still pretty "orc-y," but we like it well enough.

Just thought I'd mention that a version of Unwise's idea made the cut. Thanks, all!

I've been at a conference, so I haven't been able to check this very often. There's a lot of great stuff here! Thanks! FWIW, I'd ideally like a generic genasi explanation, rather than a stormsoul-only, but I'll consider anything that people want to share.

He's a Stormsoul (heh - you said 'spark'). But even so, like I said above, I'd rather he be seen as a member of a race of genasi, rather than an isolated individual of odd magical origin.

What have you done with genasi if you have used them in a non-FR campaign? I have a genasi character coming into a traditional D&D 4e PoL campaign and I'm trying to help with the character's background. I'd like to keep the genasi as an actual race (rather than the genasi character being some...
