How would you handle those missions where stealth is suggested, if you were wearing "loud" armor? There is a difference between stealth-suggested "levels" such as the Dam, but combat-heavy "levels" (archives, control, cradle, etc.). Would it be better just to say "eh, screw it", and ignore...

I've got the dungeon tiles just in their respective boxes. I haven't figured out a way to sort them. Mob Tokens, however, I have sorted out by "creature type" in plastic baggies. "undead", "uniques" (non numbered tokens), "humanoid", "elemental", "reptiles", "woodland creatures", etc.

Elec and King: Will do. Thanks!

Thanks, Quickleaf. Pretty much the latter; almost equating MI6 to how an organization like the Harpers would work. I'll look into Zeit. Understood; I'm just seeing a mild difference (if only in continuity), between a ranger/rogue/etc. shooting silently from a hand crossbow, and a wiz/sorc...

Afternoon all! I've got a few stupid questions regarding creating a campaign, and I'm sorry if these are reposts; feel free to virtually smack me upside the head and link me to other posts. Background: I've decided that it'd be cool to create a Goldeneye-based campaign for D&D. I've sketched...

If he values RP moreso than anything, play the game. I second what was said about researching <ITEM>, or constantly being on the lookout for new items. Is he the type of person that if you impress him with your RP, he'll respect/give you more leeway? A second thing could be to scavenge...

I think you should think about differentiating between "intelligent enemies" and "normal mob behavior". In the case of humanoid thieves, I would say they are intelligent enough to coordinate attacks to maximize havoc and damage. However, I don't think a pack of wolves would be "as smart" to...

Thanks, everyone! I'll definitely keep this in mind--and won't make the same mistake twice! -CastX7

I'd take into consideration the makeup of your party: are all the roles covered? Are there more strikers or controllers than there "should" be? Also, note what attacks they use most often. If they're fulfilling a controller's role, the character'd benefit more from one type of bonus than if...

Thank you everyone! Just to answer a few Qs: Unwise: I'm not 100% sure about this; * they are level four or five * the highest + is +3 I think. * I just ran them through the char generator. Outside of racial/class bonuses, I haven't given them anything. No spellscars/tattoos/"Belongs to...

Evening everyone! I'm DMing a really loose/more-fun-than-rules-lawyering makeshift campaign (read: I'm just going from module to module ATM) with only TWO PC's in the party. In hindsight, I think I tweaked their characters at LVL 1 a bit much, but I don't want to kill off characters that they...

I can primarily speak as a PC, here's my $0.02; hope it helps! When I created my character, I leaned heavily towards the min/max style of creation--standard elad rogue, but I wanted hand crossbows. From there, I took the attributes and started to think about how he would interact--as wisdom...

I'll report to my virtual flogging and say the Red Box was a GREAT intro for not only me DMing, but for my players into D&D--everything was self-contained, and, outside of the initial hook, everything you need as the DM is in one book. I will agree with the other posters that Slaying Stone and...

I think it is, I'm not completely sure...

My $0.02 as someone who played a hand-xbow rogue: If it hasn't been said, what's the weaponry choice of this character? You may need to allow the player to use curse and sneak attack as an at-will as opposed to a hybrid-encounter power. If they haven't taken the "Sneak in the Attack" feat (or...

Almost to what Klaus said, what if it isn't a vamp in the bloodsucking sense? What if it had to feed off psionic/arcane auras, much like how arcane magic saps the life from anything living in Dark Sun? I'd suspect that'd provide some interesting encounters with fellow PCs... but that's my $0.02.

Morning all! I'm a relatively new DM, have run red box, and am currently about to finish Harkenstone (don't get me started on the Dune references in that one...;)). After one battle, one of my players asked, "What do we do with gold?". This stumped me. The PC's don't have a base of...

Just my $0.02, but I would look at the amount of burst/blast offensive at-wills the rest of the party has. They may not be able to push mobs around, but if they can "tactical nuke'm", I'd say it's a flush. Granted, I'm DMing/playing around with a party consisting of a Swordmage and a...

Afternoon all! I've posted/lurked a bit in the D&D4e forums, and have started to collect ideas for creating a campaign. At one point in time, I'm debating about having some sort of "sandbox chapter" in this campaign. In this section, the PC's can go off and do a number of side-quests that...

Not sure if this will help, and it's slightly cliched, but a friend of mine's char. had worshiped Bahamut until something killed his wife/family/whatever. Seeing that there is no ultimate justice, he left Bahamut for Kord--preferring sheer brute force/revenge over justice. Hope that helps, or...
