If the death of a minion seems flat to you it could be a couple of things. Either you're not being cinematic enough with your DMing and a minion killed by a cleava is really just "20 damage to the target and you kill a minion", or you're not using enough of them. Minions are speed bumps to the...

Played in a full evil campaign for 12 levels, it ran smoothly and we were evil. Evil with motivation. Power, greed, prestige. Not a one of us was a total psychopath, even if some of us did enjoy the thrill of domination and murder, even torture. 3/5 were worshipers of Hextor, so that was...

Yeah putrefying bolt should be range 10 The other one actually is reach.

Mabine is a primordial fey spirit of decay that has been built up a lot in my campaign recently, and I'm going to have them unexpected run into her for my first solo fight. She is based partially on a Lamia, but heavily edited.

Well, keep in mind all you are is a body. I just took weakened to mean, mind body and soul.

Ah, we have one of the Dragonborn that was released before 4E actually came out. Dragonborn Paladin I think. Looks good. Never played the mini game personally.

So I don't accidentally make an encounter that inadvertently kills everyone? I'm not honestly sure the difference between a rogue and "rogue" since I'm played twice now. Anyway the intended ways have been tested for at least a year now , I'm sure they're the simplest way to get what I want...

Page 273, under the line of sight section designates how cover is achieved, so yeah it uses the line of sight rules to designate cover and concealment.

I'm positive they are. Cover uses LoS rules to determine cover, its spelled out in the PHB what I consider very clearly. Let me look.

Everytime someone says "when I read the GSL" I get this impression they mean "when someone told me about the GSL"

If any square hits a barrier while drawing a line to the apposing square, there is cover, even if it nicks... or up to the DM. Actually this exact scenario is illustrated in the cover section. There s cover in squares I would say would be impossible to see, but that's what superior cover is...

Thanks. I've read all through books cover to cover but its a bit hard to remember everything. I knew there had to be an easy way, this is 4E after all. :D

Say I want a human rogue, or an Elven Paladin, whatever. You don't make a PC character anymore right? Not that they need to be "Rogues" per say in this case... human skirmisher would do, but it would be good to know if I had to make an NPC wizard for example. NPC PC classes still just use...

Bystanders aren't human minions 2. They're goblin bait.

Only direct attacks should really kill minions. The 1 hp thing is something to help the DM, not the PCs.
