6 PCs of 6th level. Lair used to belong to an Ancient Blue, now is home to her daughter a Young Blue. The dragon employs Troglodytes as vassals since they are the nearest intelligent humanoids she had to work with. This should only be 3 encounters. I dont have the maps in a format I can put...

Has anyone out there put together a spreadsheet or somethign that sorts monsters by type? Natural, Fey, Shadow, etc.

Party is 6 PCs all level 2 They are investigating a dungeon complex near a keep (not that one). Inside the area they are currently investigating is a band of NPC mercs hired by the someone in the keep to help stage a coup and do other nefarious things. They are very near where the mercs are...

I dont have search ability on this forum so I apologize if this has been asked and answered, but I was unable to find it. I have read through all the books and wanted to make sure I wasnt misunderstanding something. Anyone with ritual caster feat can cast any ritual as long as they are of...

from his blog.... christopher_perkins Badger Wrangler Ninja Cannon If you're experiencing a bit of lag on the forums, it's because we're test-firing a new weapon designed to steal away all of your 3rd Edition books. (Yes, the rumors are true.) __________________ Chris Perkins Design...

I am working on planning my next session and I would like to try out the skill challenge system. The PCs have come to a keep (not that one) a few days distant from their home base. I have worked up some rumors they can gather from the townsfolk regarding the keep itself (its history and...

I wrote Mike Mearls about Dragonshield Tactics and got the following response.

Sly Flourish At Will - Martial, Weapon Standard Action, Melee or Ranged weapon Target: One creature Attack: +8 vs AC Hit: 1d4+7 damage The rogue has a basic melee attack of +5 to hit with dagger and ranged basic at +8 to hit with dagger. Is the Sly Flourish giving him the best of the 2 attacks...

OK, I will use Kobold minions and the Wyrmpriest as examples. Wyrmpriest has a power which grants 5 temporary HPs to all kobolds in a burst 5 area. Would that affect kobolds and keep them alive after an attack which does say 4 pts of damage? I would like some answers quick since I am...

Let me preface this by saying I may have been watching too much TV of late, and LOST in particular. But, I was trying to think of some non-standard ways to kick off my upcoming 4e campaign. I haven't DMed in a couple of years and I want this to be memorable because of my return to the DM chair...

Once the books hit shelves on 6/6, how long before you will be able to run your first session of 4e? I am thinking I will need a couple of weeks to read and digest all 3 books. Stupid job and other responsibilities anyway.

I decided to give it a try. I took a monster combo from a Goodman games module I am fond of (DCC #28 Into the Wilds) Its a goblin rider and large bat mount. Give them a look and let me know where it can be improved. And the formatting is from an app a buddy of mine and I have been working on.

A buddy and I are working on an app to generate 4e init cards. Take a look at the format so far and leave some feedback.

Was just reviewing some of the monsters again for a 4e playtest my group will be doing tonight during our regular session. I decided to switch out a planned skirmisher for a Dragon Shield. I got to looking at the Dragon Shield in depth and noticed that it had the ability to mark an enemy on a...

OK, if I have 4 monsters in a room, lets say bugbears, with 2 of them behind a turned up table for cover. When the PCs get to the door, these monsters are already ducked down behind the table. What I want to do is, on their initiative the 2 behind the table jump up and fire their crossbows...

I couldn't find this posted anywhere else here. I made a screen capture from the VTT demo # at DDXP as shown on GZ at Youtube. At one point they show the screen which has displayed all of the beholders eye rays. I am trying to make it bigger so they are readable. I am not very good at this...

Pasted here since everyone can't/won't go to gleemax; No crunch in this one at all. But I do likes me some Biggie storytellin'.

What are the thoughts of some of you on these aspects of PoL? 1) The PCs are supposed to be the "ubermensch" that rise up to save the day of the village/town/city/area they are in. But what of those they may have learned from? Would you not expect a wizard to have learned his magic from...

Apparently they are even making changes to the dice we all know and love that are used for the game. This is the last straw. Fight the power!!! http://www.gleemax.com/Comms/Pages/Communities/BlogPost.aspx?blogpostid=21996&pagemode=2&blogid=2116
