Snaking the HIVE

[Angel Tarragon]

The general rule is that encounter powers can be used again after a short rest, which is 5 minutes. In a way "per encounter" is just a shorthand for that, because some people might want a "hard" definition of what is an encounter.

So I bit the bullet and sunk the cash on the 4th Edition PHB today. Also bought Adventurer's Vault.

Can you please tell me where I can find that info in the PHB? Also if a fellow hiver would be kind enough to point out where the [W] rule is detailed I'd be ever so grateful.

This definition of encounter would only cause giggles if the Book of Erotic Fantasy was updated to 4e.

Which isn't gonna happen. Sword Sorcery, a subsidiary of White Wolf bought the rights to put out a second printing of the book. Being that White Wolf is no longer in the D20 market, this is a guaranteed fact.

Also bought myself a new Ty Beanie today. Gave her the name of Nocturna.

She has her front paws folded upwards as if she were holding her head up.

Page 55/276 x[W] basically means Xd [what ever weapon you are using's damge dice] so 3[w] means 3d4 if your weapon does d4 damage. If your weapon does 2d10 damage that becomes 6d10.

Sadly, 4e requires you to use book tabs. for everything

LAME! Why buy the second printing rights if you never intend on doing anything with it. I mean its not like BoE even made a dent in the market.

4e...... I fart, belch and spit in its general direction.

Thought for a moment I was in the Play by Post section.... But no one is here so it must be the Hive.

Getting grumpy.... going away.








damned 4e.... ruined the game for me .....

4e didn't ruin the game for me... Not being able to play the game at a table group ruined the game for me (pbp is fun... when the game doesn't die).


For me 4e looks like it might be fun to play at a table, but it truly isn't DnD. I'm thinking that some of the reason why DnD Minis died was because 4e feels so much like a minis game that having a simplified DnD 4e rule set to do a minis game kind of irrelevant.

Of course, then again, I had a strange love of the d20 Modern line and other derivative lines so maybe those are what ruined dnd for me since I eventually found myself loving the simplicity of True20 and M&M/

Well Relique already pointed out the [W] rule. As for the encounter power... The only thing said is "once between short rests" so it's a bit scetchy. I'll just handwave it to mean once in a while when not in encounters. At least for the Fey Step. Some other powers might have a different ruling
