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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

Can someone explain to me the Wizard of the Spiral Tower? (Wizard Paragon Path) - Can you use a longsword in one hand and a wand/orb in the other hand? - Can you use a magical longsword and get its enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls of powers with the Implement keyword? - Can you...

I am thinking of creating a group of NPCs to fight the group of PCs, and create them as PCs. They are supposed to be some sort of adventurers or merceneries and with power appropriate to the levels of the PCs. Have any of you ever tried making a group of antiheroes in your campaign? What do you...

Some powers require you to use a Healing Surge. Can you use more than one healing surge per an encounter? I know you can use Second Wind only once per encounter, but what about other powers?

I am now creating a new villain for my campaign and I have been wondering how can I create an evil humanoid necromancer. It is my first time as a DM and I would appreciate any tips for NPC creation. I think the villain fits the "Death Master" functional template in the DMG (P177), but I don't...

Can a you reduce the size of an Area or Close power? For example, can a Wizard cast a Burning Hands spell, but use it as a Close Blast 3 instead of a Close Blast 5? It just makes sense that if you can create a large fireball, you could also create a smaller one.

Hello, I am a DM for a 4 players group with my friends and I am having some troubles in my campaign. We are only at our fourth session and it is the first time we play 4th edition, and also my first time as a DM in D&D (I’m usually a player). I have some questions for you and I am sure some of...

I have a problem using a Trap from the DMG on my adventure. Spear Gauntlet (Level 2 Obstacle Trap on Page 87) Trap: Five squares in the room contain hidden spears that thrust up to attack when triggered. Trigger: The trap, five squares placed randomly in the room attacks when a creature...

:1: Can a character who uses arrows (lets say a Ranger) pick up his arrows after the combat ends? :2: If the answer to :1: is yes, then can that Ranger use those arrows again thus having unlimited ammunition and not having to buy any more arrows for the rest of his life? :3: If the answer to :2...
