With the power given to me by the great Palladys, I am here to help! says the young lady. You can call me Cynthia, and allow me to introduce you to my most faithful companion... Cynthia waves the top of her staff in quick small circles, creating four little balls of energy of fire, air, water...

johnmeier1: I can join this adventure, but my character hasn't been approved yet

A young woman opens the door. My name is Cynthia. I have been told that this tavern is a good place to hear about the local rumors. Appearance is similar to this but holding a staff: Level 1 Human Invoker|Shaman (controller / leader)

I have just created my first character - Cynthia Can a new yet-to-be-approved character join the tavern?

Hello, I'm thinking of having my next 4E D&D adventure in a world that resembles the world of the CRPG "Arcanum of Steamworks & Magick Obscura". I was wondering if anybody ever played an RPG in an adventure world from a CRPG. Also, have anyone tried converting the world of a computer role...

That is incorrect. Warden's Grasp and Warden's Fury are part of Nature's Wrath class feature, and as a hybrid warden you get Nature's Wrath but can only mark one adjacent enemy.

hi, I'm creating a Warde/Fighter Hybrid and I have a question about Battlerager Vigor: Battlerager Vigor says "Whenever you hit an enemy with a melee or a close attack, you gain temporary hit points equal to your constitution modifier, plus any temporary hit points normally granted by the...

The power in question is Chill Wind, an area burst 1 within 10 squares attack that targets each creature in burst. What about area or close powers that only deal damage (damage is their only effect that occurs upon hitting the target)? Can an ally be targeted by them? If no, I see no point in...

Wisdom modifier can improve the Will defense since it represents the character's willpower which helps resisting mind effecting attacks. In this situation the character actually wants to concentrate on the attack, so it should be easier to attack a willing character with higher Wisdom. There...

So to sum it up, there are 4 situations: A target not in the zone being moved into the zone takes the damage twice (during the current turn and during his turn). A target not in the zone being moved through the zone into a square outside of the zone takes the damage once (during the current...

Lets say I want to target an ally with my attack power, and he wants the attack to hit him. I'll give an example why this can be useful sometimes: I target an ally and an enemy with the 1st level at will Druid attack "Chill Wind" (area attack). I slide both targets towards each other and if my...

The Hit effect of the 1st level at will Druid attack "Flame Seed" is: 1d6 fire damage, and the squares adjacent to the target become a fiery zone that lasts until the end of your next turn. Any enemy that enters the zone or starts its turn there takes fire damage equal to your Wisdom modifier...

I like the way you can "buy" monsters with EXP for your encounter, to make it balanced for your party. I was wondering how can you evaluate how much exp do you add to a monster when you make it stronger through: 1. Adding Disease to the monster's bite attack 2. Adding Poison to the monster's...

When you give the party some allies to protect or a pet with monster stats, it happens. Also, do NPCs/Monsters heal all damage after extended rest?

Can you heal a monster without healing surges? (most of the monsters don't have any) So far, when a character healed a monster without a healing surge, I added 1/4 of the monster's HP plus any bonus from the character.

How do you decide the amount of EXP the players get when they succeed in the skill challenge? or when they score a partial success? I assume that making a conflict harder by adding a complication to it, like confrontational, would provide more EXP for the party.

I have some questions about Weapons Proficiency: The racial feat Eladrin Soldier (You gain proficiency with all spears and a +2 feat bonus to damage rolls with longswords and all spears.) gives you proficiency with all weapons of the spear category. 1. So does it grant you proficiency with...

I really liked the simplicity of this method for Elite Minions. When combining Elite Minions (as you suggested) and normal Minions, the players will not know which ones are tougher. In fact, I can just decide at the start of the battle that out of X Minions, Y of them are Elite Minions and...

Hello, After learning from my mistakes as a newbie DM in our last adventure, I've thought about incorporating some House Rules for my new adventure. I would appreciate your opinion about them. I created House Rules for Critical Fumbles, Elite Minions, Improving Rituals and Character Points...

I'm currently playing a Dragonborn Sorcerer and I have some questions: 1. Using a Weapon as an implement: a. Rogue's Class Feature - Sneak Attack: Once per round, when you have combat advantage against an enemy and are using a weapon from the light blade, the crossbow, or the sling weapon...
