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.

I was actually curious on how you could make a good tracking skill encounter. Of course the skill challenge example in the book is the most obvious and easiest to build challenge (diplomacy) and is not very helpful as an example goes. Also for some reason all the PCs made their rolls...

Glad you had fun, but the giant is run as RAW would of destroyed them. Of course as a non-elite it might of been okay.

Well, it could certainly be worse. I'm not too die hard on crunch anyway so it's fine with me.

Just roll it up real loose and let it flop down on something without bending, or stand it up behind a door or something. When I roll mine up its about 5 inches wide with a lot of space in the middle and unrolls perfectly. Do not try and roll it up nice and tight like you would normal paper to...

I understand some items add a level bonus to the base item. +1 scale is level 1-5, add the "Dwarven scale" abilities, its level 2. So "dwarven scale" is a +1 level ability. +2 Dwarven scale is 6, and so on. But how does that work if you had an item power that was more than +4 level bonus...
