I just finished this module with a group of two experienced players, each playing two characters (total of 4). I did not run them through the Cave Bear encounter (they really aced their navigation skill challenge) but they did fail to adequately pass the interrogation skill challenge so they...

Well, not much to say other than that I agree with a lot of what you are saying- as do 99% of the people on these boards. I recently had the opportunity to check out a lot of the Star Wars Saga Edition (SWSE) material. I had heard long ago that this setting was going to be the testing ground...

In my group, one of the other players is DM'ing the H1, H2, etc modules and I am DM'ing SoW- we had just such a debate this past weekend. I think "The King's Road" runs through both of them so it would imply that they are at least somewhat geographically related. We looked for a definitive...

In the game I currently play in, we have 5 players, all of 5th level: 1) Dwarf Fighter 2) Warforged Warlord (Taclord) 3) Half-Elf Paladin 4) Half Elf Cleric (Melee) 5) Eladrin Wizard The warlord started as a rogue, but got frustrated by the fact that he always had to flank to get extra...

If you have not visited the WOTC 4e Character Optimization Boards (Char Op), it might be a good time to do so. You can find several handy guides for building characters there. Here is a link to the Wizard guide: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1041166 This guide was done by...

In regards to damage: Any time a warlord gives an ally an attack or allows them to do damage they would not normally be able to do, it technically belongs on the warlord's tally sheet. Of course, I'm not advising that you keep a tally sheet, rather change your mentality about how warlords...

I was recently playing in a group doing KotS and we were fortunate enough to have both a fighter (me) and a Paladin. I think I did slightly more damage than him, but I was fairly jealous of some of his abilities as well: as a tank, using Valiant Strike, he was able to dive into minions and get...

I dont know that it would be all that wise to make minions crit for more than their fixed damage, particularly at lower levels. I was able to DM the first half of KotS this past weekend and found that well played minions could be quite deadly in their own right. I did try to increase their...
