I know this has been probably discussed before, but I can't help but feel the need to discuss this now. I don't consider myself a stringent rules lawyer, although I do enjoy cohesion in rules systems in all games. I can't help but feel that a vast portion of people playing 4e simply haven't read...

Hi gang - I need to reach a consensus about something that happened tonight. We found and id'ed a Jade Macetail. I used it in an encounter to block a passage to prevent enemies from following us. After the encounter was over, we retreated and (extended) rested. I used the jade macetail to block...

I humbly submit for your critiquing my second custom monster. This one needs a little background - The first error on it is it's size. The size is variable to suit your needs, but I planned on the wall being 4 contiguous squares or more long. It looks fun (and deadly) to play and I am...

I have built a encounter for my players and was looking for a good 8-10 solo monster and could not find any. The characters will encounter this monster along with some minions around it. The idea for this is a pair of Oni/Ogres that are bound psychically and physically by a chain of corporeal...

I am sure it is covered somewhere in the books, but I cant seem to locate it. how does this particular condition end ? When Allies wake you ? (Free, minor, move, standard ?) When you take damage ? When the condition is magically lifted ? When You receive healing ? At the end of the encounter...

After a near-TPK I got the chance to create a rogue from Martial Power. In the past, I have played an Artful Dodger from level 1-3 and was pretty impressed by it. Looking through the MP at first glance, it seems like they nerfed the power level of Most Powers to be less powerful than the ones in...

There is a question I have about a elven rogue feat in MP. It states that if you spend your elven accuracy on a target that grants you CA and you miss with your elven accuracy roll, it is not expended. Can you just activate it again then ? Does this give an elf rogue an auto-hit encounter power ?

Has anyone else been as frustrated as I have over wizard's seeming abandonment of spellscarred traits ? Are there any you feel you want to add ? The ones in the frpg seem underdeveloped and with the suggestion to create your own, I wonder how many people have actually done that. Let me know if...

I have a question about Haunting Reception from the FRPG - It's a 6th level spellscarred utility power. This power is an immediate reaction that triggers after taking damage from an enemy. When it triggers it states that you "disappear" until the beginning of your next turn. To me, the rules...

Hi all ! I noticed there was some confusion on conditions - namely in the "consecrated ground" thread. I submitted a question to customer service and got the following answer back. If Tordek is Bloodied and Blinded and takes enough damage to reduce him to -1 HP, is he only Dying or is he...

Hi All - I played an archer in 3.5 and I have found the same problems now in 4e than I did then - there seems to be a set of rules in place to dictate the amount of ammunition and how it is used, but no method to procure more. I have seen 1st level adventurers set out with 450 arrows on them...

We were discussing possible reactions to drow in 4e in my playgroup. Not particularly if you like the race or not, but how they are viewed by NPC's in your Forgotten Realms games. What are your feelings on playing them - specifically running encounters with Npc's when one or more drow are in...

Hi all - We are hosting a party for quite a few adults and wives of the players in our regular group - we thought it would be fun to play D&D as a one-off for a day. Not many have direct D&D experience, but they are all familiar with common elements of the game (HP, Ability scores, combat...

How many, if any, targets in the blinding barrage (or any area attack) does Sneak attack apply against. Say my rogue has CA from going first in combat and decides to open fire on a group of baddies. He would have combat advantage on them, from what I understand and there is only one damage...

Hi there - I was talking with my DM about Zones, and after reading the text about sustaining powers, zones etc, we still could not determine exactly what happened when you sustain the warlock daily (5), Hunger of Hadar. It creates a zone that damages any enemies that begin their turn there or...

I got the short demo adventure yesterday with the title "Escape From Sembia" It is an introductory module. At first I thought it was the gameday adventure - I found out it wasn't. Does anyone know what it's from and why they are promoting FR in it ?

I will be playing a 1st level dwarven warlock in a party of : Rogue, Ranged Ranger, Paladin, Fighter and Wizard. I have a 20 Con and 14 int and I have gone the infernal route. I am looking for a little feedback from people who have experienced play with the first few levels of warlock. Judging...

To paraphrase the 1st lvl at will power - after using it, when you take damage before the end of your next turn, the target takes an extra amount of damage. Does this remember targets ? Is one target possible only ? The power says nothing about this. Consider this scenario - Badguys A, B &...
