I'm sure this won't work out anywhere near as well as Klaus' set, but I fancy a go... Ok, so a Cleric/Thief? Halfling Cleric/Thief of Avandra here I come. Of course, lifting a dagger for long enough to stab someone might be tricky...

Equally, if you look at it from a different angle: Is that 10 fire and cold damage cold damage? Yes. Are you immune to cold damage? No. Take full damage. Personally, I like the analogy given earlier. If you drink water, nothing bad happens to you. This is because water does not harm you. If...

The problem I have when playing my Avenger is that I don't get my Oath of Enmity rerolls enough. I think it was a bad design decision by WotC to make the Avenger's striker mechanic an oath that says "I hate you, and am going to hunt you to the ends of the earth". I often find myself in fights...

Actually, Close Bursts (and close blasts for that matter. Basically, anything Close) don't provoke Opportunity Attacks. Just Ranged and Area.

A man is playing darts in a pub. The first dart hits treble 20, the second narrowly misses the same spot and lands in the 20. The third bounces off the wire and hits a visiting nun from the local convent in the forehead, killing her. The landlord shouts "On Nun dead and Eeeiiighty!"

And this is the point that was being made. In 4e, you need the rest of the group to be adequate, no matter how optimised you are. In 3e, it was poosible to optimise to the point where the rest of the group were irrelevant.

However, if they'd used those names, someone (I'm not saying it'd be you, but someone) would complain "Why did they call it drowmark? It doesn't cause the target to take -2 to hit targets other than the drow. Does it supersede other marks? I don't understand. Why couldn't they have avoided such...

1. BB 2. 23 3. chicken 4. 81 5. cow 6. 121112 7. Harry 8. 400 I think, although it may be 40000 9. bark, although I'm tempted to say "shut up you infernal beast" because it can't be that easy 10. Not a clue, and I'm fairly good at numbers normally I think I did Ok, but that last one is utterly...

If you're looking for a specific adventure series for Ted to run, there's always ENWorld's own War of the Burning Sky. Depending on how quickly you progress through games, you might even be able to rely on the Community Supporter trickle feed of the adventures. Now, I haven't played the series...

I used to think that you had to work to produce the cliffhangers in your Story Hours, but it now becomes clear it's just a natural talent of yours! I am loving this thread, though, both for the entertainment of learning what's happening to your player (character)s and for all of the great skill...

The difference between Mark of Healing and Healer's Lore is that Healer's Lore just asks for 2 things: You use a power with the healing keyword and that power grants healing, whereas Mark of Healing requires you to use a Healing power on an ally. Astral Seal is a power with the healing keyword...

Why would you want to, though? The last thing I would want to be doing is making 2 death saves per round. You could be dead by the start of your second round unconscious! I mean, yes, theoretically, it means you could get a turn of actions if you roll a 20 on one of the start of turn rolls...

We actually had a situation in the last session of the game I play where the mage hit the whole party with a fireball. We're a party of 2, and we've been attacked by green slime. We're both in right trouble trying to fight it off and being generally unsuccessful in attacks, so he drops a...

Now that we've finally got rid of the last remaining 4e class that I've actually played (I mostly DM), please can we get to the more pressing business of removing the Ranger from the next list? People who want to pretend to be Drizzt or Aragorn already think that their character is the best at...

Much though I'm tempted to feign anger at the voting off of my favourite class, the Druid, last time, I'm not that petty. Besides, most of my Druid love comes from it being the first class I ever played, back in 2nd ed. I haven't had a chance to play it yet in 4th, so if people who have played...
