That's a really good point. To avoid 'stunlocking' I might make it so that any status effect doesn't affect the horse, much like being knocked prone. The idea being whatever knocks you about, you generally stay in the saddle, you having got yourself taggled in the stirrups. I took this...

Thanks very much. I'm looking forward to actually trying them out to see what needs refining.

Having just uploaded my experimental Hot Pursuit Rules here, it occured to me to upload my Haggling minor skill challenge rules that I've been using for a while. The main reason for coming up with these rules was that haggling in my old group generally consisted of a player repeatedly asking...

Recently my group started investing in various modes of transport, mainly horses, but the paladin purchased a covered wagon (affectionately called the Pallywagon) and that got me thinking about rules for combat on horseback in a chase. Obviously a straight up, linear chase would be unfeasable...

Could you explain how you design your 'packets'? Are they grouped by type; say a minion packet, a brute packet etc?

Recently I've been DM'ing my own story for four of my friends and I noticed that they've not being using more advanced techniques (flanking, charging etc) or variation (one player pretty much only uses 2 at will abilities) They're all new to 4e and so it's taking them a bit of time to easy into...

I've been contemplating this issue for my d&d campaign I'm running. I want the players to fight a huge spider, but am being heavily inspired by Lost Planet 2, namely where you shoot out the legs of a giant creature. My idea is to have 8 'legs' models, each one large in size. The players can...
