    PbP Noncombat (Skill) Encounters

    I'm getting ready to run an adventure with some of the "X successes before Y failures" encounters in it. I'm trying to picture how this will work in play-by-post. Does anyone have any advice or insight into the best way to do this? Thank you.

    Martial Power fighter combo

    Making a Samurai: AC and Armor problem

    There's a pretty sweet spear duel in one of the Kurosawa movies, IIRC it was The Seven Samurai.

    The most powerful rogue powers from Martial Power.

    Eladrin get the longsword Rogue, which is nice.

    Rogue waepon talent

    True that. I wonder if +1,1d4 and +0,1d6 are equivalent though. Attack bonuses seem to trump damage most of the time.

    Nice catch. I've noticed this as well, but hadn't made the connection to this topic. Thanks!

    Bladeless Swordmage

    Where do you find the enchantment for throwing shield? I skimmed the AV to no avail.

    Using Quasi-minions

    You had planned to have 10+ soldiers and had to scale that back. You achieved this goal by halving their hit points. That probably worked well enough, but why not just use real minions next time? That's what they're there for, and the work is all done for you. Maybe you were worried that they...

    Interesting. How does this cash out mechanically?

    Sleep spell and a shout

    I liked IceFractal's last post and agree with most of it. The only thing I might have disagreed with is about how a status-effect spell can't be locked to a specific level. I would respond that such spells can lock to a level due to the type of status effect they confer. Dazed -> Stunned ->...

    Wizard's "Sleep" Question

    The target is slowed (save ends). If it fails its first save against this effect, it becomes unconscious (save ends). Does this mean that the creature is now both slowed and unconscious? And if so, does one save end both? Thanks.

    Adjacent Damage

    I see. The key words in there are "static" and "invariable". Because the adjacent damage is still rolled, it is variable and therefore the enhancement bonus applies. Thanks again.

    Adjacent Damage

    Let's say I attack with "Flaming Sphere" and hit. My damage for the actual attack is 2d6 + intelligence modifier (3). However, I also get to add my magic wand's enhancement bonus (2). The damage becomes 2d6+5. My question is about the damage adjacent enemies take from the sphere on their turns...

    Dynamic Excel "Wiesbaden Charactersheet"

    My sheet is computing my hit points incorrectly. As a level 6 warlock, I should have [(12 hp)+(constitution score)]+[(5 hp)*(5 level ups)]. And since my constitution score is 18, it should be [30]+[25] = 55 hp. However, it is displaying it at 47 for some reason. Doing a little more searching, I...

    Warlock Utilities

    @Spider Climb: PHB182 is where you want to look. Because this power gives you a "climb speed", you get the following effects: ignore difficult terrain while climbing, do not grant combat advantage because of climbing, and do not make Athletics checks to climb. Climbing with climb speed is like...

    Divine Power Source

    I have been thinking a lot about what future divine classes will look like. In order to be more informed, I've been trying to pull out the common themes of the current divine classes. By looking at the Cleric and the Paladin, I'm hoping to get a better sense of what it means to be divine...

    D&D 4E Obligatory dump stats in 4e: the irrelevance of Intelligence

    In the interest of further summary, I'll also try to capture the argument. DEX provides the following benefits: -AC Defense Bonus (if wearing light armor and DEX is higher than INT) -Reflex Defense Bonus (if DEX is higher than INT) -Ranged Basic Attack Bonus (if not using heavy thrown or...
