I just remembered this while I was reading through another thread on bad solos in MMI. Not that most dragons are too bad, but in the GenCon goodie bag there was a free preview of the D&D comic book, and on one of the pages, seemingly as a space-filler, there was a new stat block for a Young...

I sometimes see people declaring that their favorite combat frequency is to have only "plot-related combats", but what does that mean exactly? I take it to mean that combats only happen when either an NPC decides to have a combat showdown with the PCs or the PCs decide to attack something, but...

I've seen complaints that 4e combats take too long. I've occasionally felt it myself, and I've developed some techniques to avoid it. I'm sure they won't work for everybody, and if your game is going well, there's no need to change it based on what I'm saying, but if you feel as though combats...

What would be the logical consequences of riding an invisible mount? I can't really find anything specific in the rules addressing it. Would applying the -4 to the check, as if the character was blind making a dex-based check be fair? What if the invisible mount was a long-term type of thing...

Here's a simple question that I can't really recall the answer to at the moment. How long does it take a demon to summon other demons? A standard action, like many spell-like abilities, or one round, like most summon monster spells? The part giving me pause here is the description of the...
