My PC's are currently going through T1-4 Temple of Elemental Evil (designed for levels 4-7 or 5-8), but only the Temple part of it. You have to group encounters in a way that makes sense. The old AD&D method of "fight in this room, but the bad guys next door don't hear us" doesn't work in 4E...

The power of the magnets is irrelevant if you just purchase a sheet of galvanized metal at a Lowe's/Home Depot, etc. Make sure it isn't ALUMINUM, tho, because the ALEA magnets will not stick to aluminum. The galvanized steel (air conditioning ductwork, essentially) works great and we have had...

Just buy the ALEA magnet discs. They're expensive, but they work great - IF you buy a sheet of metal (2x3 or 3x3 galvanized steel - $7) to place beneath your map, tiles, etc. Otherwise they will stick to each other something fierce.

You could also buy the PDF's and use the snapshot feature in Adobe, paste it in Word, and print on cardstock to make the cards.

It gives a +1 bonus to AC normally and the encounter power is a bonus to defense against one attack. That says to me that it is against any attack that targets a Defense.

When in doubt, go by the Core books.

I actually made up a couple of supplements using a 3.5 Reference sheet document that are going to help our group immensely. I'd post them here, but I'm not exactly certain how to do that.

I wouldn't have a problem with allowing a shift from prone/crawling, since the rules for crawling say you have to be prone and both shifting and crawling are move actions. As a DM, I'd allow the shifting from prone/crawling, but with all conditions associated with them - 1/2 speed from crawl...

I'll be granting these on an either or basis, not that I envision it coming up to often.

This is a good question, but remember that you can stand in an ally's square if the ally is prone and an enemy's square if they are helpless, so unless there was a serious pileup, I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Don't give some of the DM's on here any ideas. :D

Once again, people trying to apply real-world physics to the game. Just apply the penalty and don't try to over-think it.

And the extra attack provided by an interrupt simulates the added attacks that a solo needs to have to function like a group of enemies.

As far as our group is concerned, I'll be applying the specific over general rule. The power specifically states "one creature". That's good enough for me to rule that our Paladin can lay hands on himself, though whether or not he chooses to do so may have some role-playing ramifications (is...

Well, I didn't care for the delay, but I got a notice yesterday that my gift set is on the way. Hooray!
