    Vignettes

    I did one with my players that went incredibly smooth. Similar to previous posters, I brought my players into a scene where a small village was being attacked by monsters one night. Told the players what to expect and brought them up to speed. Then handed them their character sheets to play in...

    D&D 4E Times 4E News Scared You

    Or (How I learned to stop worrying and love the game) Change is scary. With the current debate over the CB going I was inspired to remember all the other prerelease debates that have sprang up over the 3+ years 4e has been out. So I figured I'd throw it out to the community and see what...

    Mesh Hongs Monster Request / Discussion Thread

    The Resplendent! Regrettably I didn't have the time to setup the gatherers in previous encounters. So I included them in the final encounter as pseudo minions. I left their 30 hps but took their insubstantial away. This gave them a round or two of attacks each but kept them from becoming a...

    Mesh Hongs Monster Request / Discussion Thread

    Oh man. I really like the Manifestation Points idea. In fact I was planning on the party coming to a dramatic conclusion this week but i might stretch it out a week just to start building up to this guy. He's awesome. Thanks so much and I can't wait to try the encounter in the ecounter!

    Mesh Hongs Monster Request / Discussion Thread

    Love this thread. I've been lurking for a few months and loved the Flicker Devil in my homebrew when my PCs were lower. (To their dismay!);) Currently my PCs are coming to the apex encounter in a monestary / Asulym where githzerai monks have dedicated themselves to "curing" those driven mad by...

    PE: Assassin Spoilers

    I think I'm going to stick with the DDi assassin. I really liked the concept of a killer picking up any weapon that he needed and making it deadly via his ki focus and shadowy powers. Looking at all this at wills that require specific weapons is definitly a turn off.

    Human Heroic Effort versus Elven Accuracy

    Human Heroic Effort versus Elven Accuracy

    Did anyone take into account that the elven power can be upgraded with Feats to add a +2 or a +D4? I feel that really adds to the elf's chances.

    Can a PC use a power during ritual?

    It would really depend how you picture the ritual going, if your assuming a 10 min ritual is 10 minutes of chanting and casting then I would say no. But I picture it more as, a 10 min ritual is 6 or 7 minutes getting your components ready, drawing runes or magic circles and then doing the...

    Mike Mearls Ruined Everything

    Don't worry about the dice. Mike Mearls removed all dice from all games ever.

    DND Essentials: The Shelly Mazzanoble Edition

    +1 more for "Gave my wife her book and she loved it" Also, I remember being quite impressed by one of her columns a while ago, in which she wore D&D clothes for a week as she went out into the real world to attempt to generate dialogue regarding the hobby. I thought that took a bit courage...

    Quato!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That is an awesome idea and I think any psonic totally fits. Only question I have is the shared HPs. Just thinking about the barb wanting to get into close melee and psonic defenses. Assuming they could be targeted seperately. Also since they're in the same square, would you have them...

    Damage of two types but immunity to one

    IMHO: AND implies two seperate things combined. And it is completely reasonable to take damage from one even when immune to the other. Example: You can drink water, you can't drink poison. So you can't drink water and poison in the same cup. Well... maybe once.

    Dominated Summoner Question

    So last night a Brain in a Jar dominated a druid who had a summoned panther out. On the druid's turn the brain used her AOE at will to attack her party and left the cat alone. This prompted a discussion in the group as to how the summoned creature should respond to the domination. One side...

    Necromancers...Who else wants them?

    Agreed. However the Arcane soruce has ice and fire spells so does that mean any sort of elemental source that comes later should be grouped to it? Consider the Envoker mage as some kind of elementalist rather then an arcanist and you almost get the same arguement regarding the nercomancer and...

    D&D 4E Forgotten Realms 4e Changes: Good/Bad?

    And the Haunted Land series mentioned before is the story of how Thay got to be the undead land it is today. I generally like the way 4e handled the FRs.. mostly... with the exception of Talos. I was so disappointed he didn't make the cut. :devil:
