Hey, I'm in the St. Louis area as well and have been looking for 4e games. I'm in the 63368/63369 area (NW of St. Louis) but work in the Chesterfield area. If you're still looking, let's chat. I've been DMing and playing (mostly DMing) for 16 years now (off and on in the last 4 due to travels...

The other distinction is the triggering of pact abilities upon death of cursed targets. This feature you can gain multiple times per round; gained each time something cursed dies.

Agreed.

While I understand that both variations of the warlord will grant the party very useful tactical buffs, I don't believe that they need to form the core of the "most powerful, flexible party". I see adding 1 warlord into a 5-man team to grant their abilities, but having 2 with their low damage...

I have had good experience with the Eberron-based action point system. In the low to medium levels, the players get a ton of use out of them. Unlike Guillaume's group, mine use these things pretty liberally. I'm thinking about even expanding the system a bit. Perhaps allowing 2 APs to be...

Different Data Types from Different Sources Bardic Knowledge check on a Balor: "You recall the story of a plane-hopping adventurer that tangled with a Balor, specifically the fight where the adventurer was fooled into the Undead Skarl Kingdom by the Balor's evil plan." Knowledge (the Planes)...

I've never in my life seen any creature or character with Speed: 30 feet, 20' falling. There is nothing noted in the rules that your 5-foot step, combat adjustment, need be onto a similar terrain type as you started or into a dangerous area. It just says that you can take a 5-foot step. Where...

I agree with Scharlata. There's no officially stated rule to do this, but you can extract the necessary rules to support a character that wants to focus all of his attention on one his flankers, completely neglecting the other. As you start to look at the pros & cons, you'll probably realize...

Wonderful list! I have seldom used the image-based spells due to a lack of in-the-moment creativity on my part. I like these a lot. Thank you -- consider it yoinked! ;)

This helped the thread, how? To add to the thread, I would lean towards a rounded-party like what Thanee has above, complete with a Leadership feat with one or two of the members. Though it sparked laughter at first, the all divine caster groups are remarkably playable and do-able, since they...

These are the ones that I would love from this booster. I haven't purchased any of this set yet, but I would be quite pleased to open this one. Justice Archon - uncommon; LG; outsider; New creature Large Air Elemental - uncommon; N; large elemental; Monster Manual Village Priest - uncommon...

It would have to be a campaign set in Dark Sun, with the GM able to capture that dark and dangerous, the-guy-next-door-could-be-a-psionic-master, high-intrigue and brutal combat type of game. The ability for the players to really have an impact on life in the game, and to be able to read...

I see them, and play them as the equivalent of glowsticks. Strike them to activate them and you can't turn them off till they use up their alchemical juices. They create burst lighting, akin to a lantern, not a flashlight.

Ah, ok. I was breaking it down and found some inconsistencies that would be explained by your use of substitution levels. I take it that's how you're getting the +10 Listen check, since I can't figure out where the rest of the points come from. Your notation indicates that you didn't spend...
