    Our First Game -- What some non-RPG fans Learned that they want to share!

    Would the magic item daily power limit be a useful addition to these sheets [1/hero, 2/paragon, 3/epic +1/milestones]?

    Our First Game -- What some non-RPG fans Learned that they want to share!

    I bought Alea Tools markers at GenCon specifically for this. We've tried using poker chips and plain-old pencil and paper to track marking and conditions. I have high hopes these magnetic markers will be much easier.

    Our First Game -- What some non-RPG fans Learned that they want to share!

    Ah! Got it. I thought things like that would be either on Grandpa-style cards or the "shorthand notes" on the side-sheet you used. I've not used your mat idea nor Grandpa's cards yet -- but am greatly looking forward to it. With 8 players, 6 of whom are new to DnD, this setup will be invaluable.

    Our First Game -- What some non-RPG fans Learned that they want to share!

    Minor comment: The "1/2 Max HP" and "Max HP" labels seem like they should be swapped, since the number of chits in the left box may be "1/2 Max HP" + 1, when using DnD's 1/2-round-down rules. Whereas, the number in the right box will actually be "1/2 Max HP". A couple of other points that I...

    Paladin's Divine Challenge

    I came to the forums to ask this very question, because a Solo ran away from a Paladin's challenge, then attacked someone else in the party a round later. The Paladin couldn't keep up with the flying monster due to terrain and therefore the mark was dropped. The Paladin was quite upset, even...

    No Cleric? Hold me.

    Is this true? We have a party of 6 without a Cleric. A few times, a party member has fallen to negative hit points. The Warlord tried to use Inspiring Word to bring them back up. After several discussions, we decided that since the downed character is unconscious, he can't hear the inspiring...

    Looking for Rogue play tips

    Great answers, thanks! From somewhere back in my mind, probably 2E or 3E days, I had the thought that "sneak attack" == "on surprise". I had completely missed that 4E allowed it during combat advantage. I brought this up to the player, who said he was aware of the sneak attack on combat...

    Looking for Rogue play tips

    I'm DM'ing a 4E game for a group of 13-17 yr olds with little DnD experience. One player really wants to play a rogue, which I've never done before. He's having problems figuring out how to successfully run a rogue in a game. He's tried to sneak into an enemy's camp a couple of times, but ends...

    D&D Insider! UP ! (merged)

    at least for non-Mac users. :( I'll just have to spend that $15/mo on a random miniature pack to get more of the same mini's I already have [ as if! ].

    Can't Wait Till The 6th!

    Grrrr. Mail takes 2-6 weeks to reach me, priority or not. So it may be a while before I receive mine. I *so* hope Wizards will release pdf's for purchase before then. As for the "other" option, I'm still making my will saves my Will defense has still not been beaten. Though the margin of...

    Making your own power cards

    I'm downloaded the MSE and randolph's templates to take a look myself, but does anyone have the pre-generated paladin and fighter powers in Randolph's, Quindia, and Troll's format? In pdf? [thanks] I've told our group about these, and they are interested in playtesting with all the sets in...

    D&D 4E Raiders of Oakhurst Reloaded -- Free 4E Adventure (Ennie Nominated!)

    Edited to remove my request for more-visible numbers on the maps; I thought I had the latest version. I just downloaded the pdf again and have to say your surpassed yourself. It is even better than before!

    D&D 4E Will 4e kill PbP D&D?

    This was a pleasant surprise, as I'm a long time member of the very same site. I've been running RoO for my kids and their friends. Things are very slow, but it is mostly due to personality. I'll follow up your RoO play report with my own next week. They started the first fight last week, and...

    Making your own power cards

    Since a lot of people seem to like Trolls' versions, I thought I'd throw in a few thoughts I had when I was working on the cards that I posted earlier. I thought that there were too many cards to lay out at once, so it would be nice to stack them overlapped and have a bit of information...
