    Stealth 4 Dummies

    Here's my current thoughts on Stealth, compiling all the relavent bits from the PHB and errata as of today. I definitely don't have it all but I think I may have identified some of the big questions out there! STEALTH PER ERRATA quote:Stealth: At the end of a move action. Ok, so you can...

    Disenchant Magic Item wondrous Item

    I could have sworn that there was a wondrous item that also served as a renewable component for the disenchant magic item ritual. I can't find it thought. Any ideas, or am I crazy? Thanks!

    Armor that punishes for CA

    Does anyone know of armor that punishes foes that attack you with Combat Advantage? I know the Righteous Armor (AV 48) does this, but I'm looking for something that comes in the flavor of scale mail.

    4E GSL - non core references

    The GSL makes it pretty clear that you can use (A) anything in the SRD or (B) the given logo. Say I wanted to make a product that incorporated material from a splat. Perhaps I am writing a module and want to include "Armor of Resistance" from the Adventurer's Vault as part of the treasure...

    Feywild Offense

    I noticed that Eladrin have only a single heroic tier feat. Additionally, unlike just many of the other races, they lack a way to boost offense in a tight spot. This is particularly needed, IMHO, to make the tactical warlord more viable. Does a feat like this seem unbalanced? FEYWILD OFFENSE...

    Stunned + Minor Actions

    BTB, when stunned, you cannot take any actions. What would the consequences be of allowing one to (A) spend action points to take a single action or (B) allowing one to take a Minor action while stunned? Being stunned is no fun for players, because they don't do anything at all. Also, it...

    Sleep + Coup De Grace

    Here's the scenario: Our wizard casts sleep, the foe then fails two saves (correction: ONE save) and goes unconscious. An ally runs up and delivers a coup de grace on the sleeping enemy. Does the enemy: (A) Wake up immediately; they are prone, however. (B) Get a new save to stop the...

    Pure Text Character Sheet

    Does anyone have a plain text character sheet that would be suitable for use in a PbP or RPOL sort of game? Thanks!

    Cleave vs. Minions

    Simple question -- Can a fighter use the extra damage from Cleave to kill a minion?

    Hirelings & Henchmen: Not in the DMG

    So, the DMG/PHB/MM do not include any mention of henchmen or hirelings. What We Do Have There is a brief discussion of mounts, which really focuses on the economy of actions: Even if mounted, you only get your usual actions. This still works out well enough, as your typical horse has a move...

    D&D 4E 4e Style At Will/Encounter/Daily Spells

    Hello All, Does anyone have any thoughts on implementing 4E style At Will/Encounter/Daily spells for SRD spells? I'm thinking something roughly like this: HIGHEST LEVEL OF SPELLS YOU COULD CAST: Daily (6-8 hours rest) SECOND HIGHEST LEVEL OF SPELLS: Milestone (every 2-4 encounters, whenever...

    Utility powers and "siloing" abilities

    So, do we know anything further about utility powers or rituals? The pregens are all very combat "attack" power heavy. The only utility power I've seen is the Rogue's tumble from Ampersand. I'm really interested in seeing how the siloing of abilities works. The wizard's magic missile at will...

    Healing

    We know quite a bit about HP recovery now in 4E! I wish we had a look under the hood to see how healing surge numbers are generated (we know Class plays into it -- but what about race or ability scores or level?), but we still have a lot of info. Based on the cleric's Healing Word...

    Unseen Servant & Bonds

    Scenario: Caster is captured. Said caster is bound, gagged, stripped naked, and tied up (masterwork manacles for hands, ropes for feet with a DC 27 use rope check). Party leaves caster unsupervised to deal with the real BBEG. The caster had an Unseen Servant cast earlier which went unnoticed...

    Critters with no CON score

    What impacts does not having a CON score have for creatures? I've skimmed the SRD but couldn't seem to find any relevant passages. For example, would undead need to make a FORT save vs. stinking cloud? If so, what would modify their fort save (CHA perhaps)? Thanks!

    Sunder vs. Tower Shield

    For sundering purposes, is a tower shield considered a held or carried item? Or is it treated like a shield/weapon? IF HELD OR CARRIED: "You don’t use an opposed attack roll to damage a carried or worn object. Instead, just make an attack roll against the object’s AC. A carried or worn...

    Corpsecrafter for Liches

    Could a lich who took the Corpsecrafter feats (Libris Mortis) apply the benefits of those feats to itself? "Each undead you raise or create with any necromancy spell gains..." My gut feeling is no, as a lich doesn't explicitly use any necromancy spell such as Create Undead to undergo their...

    Blighter caster level

    So, a Druid 6 takes the plunge and becomes a blighter. At level 3 blighter -- ECL 9 -- what is the caster level of his spells? Are they 3 -- equal to the blighter level? or are they 9 -- equal to HD? Could the character take Practiced Spellcaster to increase CL? Thanks!

    Monk's Belt + Wildshape + Wilding Clasp

    Hello, I'm trying to figure out how these factors interact. Due to the wilding clasp, the item will work all the time. AC Bonus - That's easy! WIS to AC + 1; Doesn't stack with armor. Unarmed Damage Unarmed damage = 1d8 This one is thornier. In normal form, making an unarmed attack still...

    Destrying a Lich's Phylactary

    My players have just come into possession of the phylactary of a certain lich (the Ghostlord from RHOD). How can such an item be destroyed by characters of 7th & 8th level? I think it should not be as hard to destroy as an artifact, but it should not be easier than sundering a shield bought at...
