Another failed attempt from the group I DM for in a little store. This time only 3 persons showed up, so I removed a dinosaur per wave and decided to go easy on them. They surrounded Hyacinth with crates and got 2 turret in area they would have difficulty covering. The hunter used an area...

Nature's abondance cover works against anything. Unlike concealment, cover actually works against burst and blast. Normally you determine if you have cover from the origin square of the burst, but that utility power simply gives cover to all allies in the zone. Against pterodactyl I don't...

Ran it today at the store and killed the dryad at the start of the fourth round. None of the player were even bloodied and I had to destroy 2 large crates to get to it. All in all I think this lair assault might be harder than the pirates one but easier than the fire. DM: dont forget Savage...

By RAW those two feats work together. Is your target in difficult terrain? Yes. Is a dryad in difficult terrain while in a forest square? No she ignores it. Is a shark in difficult terrain while in water? Nope but that's because water is not difficult terrain. It requires an athletic...

Short answer: yes to all of this. Ki focus is also good when your in a class with weapon and implement attack. A paladin with sword and shield for exemple will probably stay away from implement attack because he would both need to upgrade a holy symbol and a sword. With ki focus he could...

I've been DMing lair assault since they got out once a month and I'm still waiting for a group that can finish one. Will be DMing this one for the first time on march 10th and will see how it goes. From what I've read I suspect a failure on turn 3 or so. A cut away sheet for the crate and...

For several reason it cannot be simply as you just stated. If a creature is 26 or 51 square away you apply the range penalty or cannot attack it at all. If you hit multiple creature, you roll damage separately (with a burst attack it would be the same damage for all). If you use special ammo...

When I create monster (often on the fly) I use the simple mechanic of level+14 for AC and level+12 for NAD and adjust +-1 or +-2 here or there, rarely changing the AC. It gives boring defense of something like 20, 19, 18, 17 for a standard level 6 monsters. Never have my players complained...

Just my 2 cents. I too would simplify the at-will attack. Probably by removing the "or 2 if they remains adjacent to the target." This would also prevent question about what happens if I want to slide it after, can I slide it in any of the 2 square I left? A crit from this level 1...

The dark sun options of free psionic utility, arcane defiling, free-reroll on 1 are not character option, they are campaign specific features. Rules for how arcane magic functions on Athas, including defiling and preserving. At the Dungeon Master’s discretion, a player can select one wild...

Cool character, pretty strong. I'm just going to point some little things to you. Pelor sun blessing is a boon and not an item. You can't buy it. Lair assault is not specifically a dark sun module so you don't get a free psionic cantrip. And as far as ultimate lair assault character go...

The reason the monster don't open door before they see the PC is because they are not aware that something is happening. But after round 4 all door are open and they are all very aware of something happening, with the dungeon exploding and all. Technically speaking, shouldn't all the monster...

I DM lair assault twice yesterday for a group of, let's say, less optimized character. First try, only one character got to actually enter the mud room, everyone else died in the first room. TPK round 7. They were only 4 but the pair of monster I was to remove were not even in the first few...

I just want to urge you to be careful with that hydra. DMed an encounter about 2 months ago with a Hydra and an Eidolon as support and this is considered by my group to be the deadliest encounter they had to face to date, and they were level 9. The battlemind marked it on the first round...

Some little advice I gathered among my way as a monk. For maximum damage, 2 weapon is advisable. Crashing tempest style gives a bonus to flurry while wielding a club (ki club). Off-hand +1 rhythm dagger (lvl 3 item) gives you a shield bonus to AC and Ref. If rhythm is not permitted (set...

If you can retrain a feat I would replace this iron will with either improved defense or superior will if essential feat are available. As for your purchase, I would start with a necklace if you don't already have one, and probably a ki weapon (+2 to your flurry of blow damage) and possibly...

If a power lets you shift your speed, and you possess multiple movement mode, can you decide which speed to apply? For exemple, if you have speed 5, fly 10, could you decide to shift 10 instead of 5? Could someone find a reference if possible because I looked in the online compendium and even...

First thing first, I think you devoted way to much ressources to boost defenses. You don't have a defender? How about a rhythm blade then, a level 3 one would cost 680g and would give you +1 AC and +1 ref and no sense getting a higher level one, the bonus doesn't get higher. Zephyr boots...

I have one problem when I use lurker and it is that they are sometimes too effective in their hiding. They pop in and out, do tons of damage but never get attacked. Then the fight is over but my sole lurker is still at full hp. What would you do? I guess it depends on the monster. I had...

Be careful of the vege-zombies, they are after your GRAAAIINNNNSSSS!
