Wow! Quite an interesting thread. Thanks to Buzz for pointing me here. I don't mean to hijack the thread, but... thanks for the kudos! I'm the writer and co-creator of the Realm Guard hack for MG. I checked my link and it should be fine. Did you use this one? Realm Guard v1.5.pdf Leaving...

Passing should be obvious, even in the OP's game (hence the "should"). As for failure... that conversation could go on for another few [dozen] pages. Each group of players and DM needs to determine that amongst themselves. Personally, I've always hated illusions and their implications in...

Though this thread may have run its course already, I think the bigger picture has been missed in the discussion ranging over these 9 pages. There's a sarcophagus next to him. The party and the vampire fight. The vampire clearly doesn't "die" (as said above) since it went into gaseous form...

Two things that can be done: Do not work it in rounds, and have only those who wish to participate do so. By not doing it in rounds, it feels less like an encounter and can feel a bit more organic or "arising from play." Go in whatever order feels natural for the situation, and include those...

It's not about doing it wrong, it's about what D&D 4e does well. Random, impromptu actions easily covered and reinforced by the mechanics of the system is not one of them, especially when compared to other RPGs with exceptionally dynamic combat options (and social options and just general GAME...

How many enemies can a Rogue hit with one attack? Now ask yourself how many a Wizard can. That's typically the strength of a Wizard: to control the battlefield and strike multiple targets.

Welcome to D&D. ;) Increasing damage +1/2 level isn't going to change that.

I think that's a great house rule. In this instance, do you mean you could find a specific scroll for cloaks in general, or is it even more specific; a scroll to make X magic cloak?

Is that not the same as: Just curious. ;) I like the idea of attaching a gp value to said residuum/talisman trigger item. Obviously it's quite necessary for the enchanting process in D&D and it's good to have that stated up front.

The convenience still exists and it seems to me like it is the cost you want to change. What you're looking to change is the cost to them or just delay them with a few more steps that would take a few seconds to resolve. "No, you can't enchant that cloak. You can only enchant a special...

As far as I know, there's no reason you can't. One of those abilities will only be once per encounter, as you said. That's it.

Reading its Slam ability entry should clarify this, though it seems weird. It hits with Slam, immobilizing its target and doing ongoing 5 Cold damage. I suppose the extra entry (Ice Reaper) is to state that the trigger is a target being immobilized. Hence if some other creature immobilizes...

Option B, says I. It makes sense to have removed the power element, but now the armour is just... meh. It's still not bad for starting characters (then again, what isn't?), but it's pretty broken above 4th or 5th level. edit: *breaks down and cries* I just can't feel sympathy for this...

No, because they're different effects. Say you had a 5 fire damage (save ends), then the orb of imposition saving throw penalty would work on all of the saving throws until the save succeeds. Specifically: It applies not to a single spell, or single round, but a single effect. So long as...

True. Someone could say to jump 1 square then, using a second move action in the same round, jump the remaining 2. That seems pretty absurd to me. Situations like this are certainly cases where RAW should be overridden in favour of common sense.

Are the characters also immune to incapacitating effects? If not, isn't that a little one-sided and render a good number of their powers useless? I'm curious what your Wizards use against in Elite/Solo monsters. Regardless, I would argue that Sleep isn't an immediate incapacitation. It's an...

I would say: Don't meta-DM. While you want a race's or class' abilities to shine, do so under conditions that make sense. It's doubtful that a creature with fire damage abilities knows that a tiefling has resists. Then again, you might rule that anything infernal or abyssal would know this...

Not exactly. If you hit with Sleep, it's slowed (save ends). If it fails that one save, it's unconscious (save ends). You only need to apply the orb of imposition ability to the first since it goes unconscious without needing a second saving throw. However, you're right in that you can't...

Can you give more info on this? I went to the website, but there was no information there. Is this a table-top gamer meetup or...? Anyhoo, any additional information would be great!

Hmmmm... Given you're a 'tank' style Fighter, I'm a bit surprised you don't have Tide of Iron. (That said, I don't have MP book, so no clue what Brash Surge does.) Cleave is good for marking and Tide of Iron is good for maneuvering enemies which can help you clear them off a Striker or...
