I don't know how I feel about being able to use ritual scrolls without training.. it seems like it trivializes the whole process. It seems to blur the line between life and death even more than in previous editions when even the equivalent of a 1st level commoner can raise the dead with a...
When we were running Shadowfell, my DM didn't tell us which monsters were minions directly, but we were able to figure it out easily enough through a combination of his descriptions and the minis that were used.
Personally, I don't care for the concept of minions, but I can understand how...
I'm aware of that, my point was that, depending on the interpretation, the *earliest* they could save would either be the same round as they were afflicted (if you go by interpretation 2), or the next round (if you go by 1).

10 13 19 10 18 8 (I realize CHA is more valuable but I don't want to RP a dullard) and just raise the...
Funny you should bring this up, I've already printed out all my powers and put them in, you guessed it, MtG card sleeves so they don't get messed up. :p
