Hi all, How does marking by monsters work? I can't find it in the Monster Manual. When a monster marks a PC, does the PC simply have a -2 to attack other targets? Or is a monster's mark the same as a fighter's mark (i.e. the monster can attack if the marked PC shifts or attacks a different...

Look at the "First Strike" ability of the KotS rogue: "at the start of an encounter, [the rogue has] combat advantage against any creature that has not yet acted in the encounter." With an initiative of +4, there should be a few circumstances in which the rogue can get combat advantage at the...

Does Alea Tools' system work for miniatures that are not Medium size? For example, could I use their product with small (Kobolds, Halflings, etc), large, and huge miniatures? I think the Playdoh idea sounds pretty good. Maybe a bit messy?

Maybe I haven't been following closely enough, but how is this a change from previously? Hadn't WoTC said that after a few months the 5k fee would be dropped anyways?
