I am looking to team up with a rogue (old thief not essentials) who only will play a cunning sneak crossbow shooter. I have looked at warlord powers but only see the ranged direct the attack. Are there other encounter powers that I am missing for the warlord? On a related note, do other classes...

Keep watching the LFR page. I know that an adventure coming up (one of the ABER4-1, ABER 4-2, or ABER 4=3 has a scaled up version of this dragon in it.

Start running D&D Encounters. You get a minimum of 3 map pages every 12-14 weeks.

I remember one Dungeon adventure which was a murder mystery at an inn along a road during a storm. It was exceptional due to it being a locked room but a murder scenario. The culprit was a grey ooze or black ooze that came up through the piping or the well and was extremely hard to find due to...

I would like to see the Desert of Desolation series also. My favorite choice is Egg of the Phoenix with a lot of variety in it of creatures and locations.

My suggestion would be to start running D&D Encounters or Lair Assault at a gaming store. You will always receive two sided maps (3 per encounters and 1 for assault) that are very easy to adapt into an adventure. You can always wait until Wizards starts selling their MAP series in the near future.

Not only do they have new monsters but they also have factions of humanoids that are threats throughout the vale that you can write campaigns around. The ones that are around the Harkenwold can add so much flavor and potential if you are running Reavers. If the party needs some extra xp to get...

young white dragon has a reaction if it is flanked and hit. It is a push 3 with damage.

I like your choices. I took a similar path with mine but trained out of ranger around 12. I also chose to go the route of taking all the bane powers to augment turning undead to include immortals, elementals, demons, devils, giants, dragons, etc... When you hit 11 and can stun 1/3 to 1/2 of the...

I love astral flare due to its burst 3 enemy only daze effect. It doesn't do any damage but only a single action makes it exceptional.

Thanks all for the back up. I stated that knowledge checks were either you know it or you don't but it still made no difference. He said something about that being Gen Con? I didn't believe it so I just said whatever and haven't been back.

I am liking this thread but am wondering how you do knowledge checks for monsters. I haven't played for a month now but right after gen con one of my least favorite dms told us that knowing anything about the enemy is now a STANDARD ACTION. That came from left field and pretty much pushed...

Okay take this instance. There is a LFR adventure where the necromancer locks you in a small opening to a room with a blast that can be sustained minor. Its effect is immobilize save ends and it reattacks fort at +12 (for levels 1 to 4) for 2d8+5 I think in addition to reimmobilizing. If our...

What if the effect is not a forced teleport but is a dismissal spell (level 9 cleric)? I have wondered about this technique for riding foes. If I dismiss and send the flying creature to another plane of reality, would the rider immediately fall to the ground since he is not riding anything? Is...

Thank you Wayne. I play LFR and the dm is SUPPOSED to be following the rules at all times to keep the game fair each and every time. I have a sometimes dm who is stringent but also purposely pushes new players to make skill challenge rolls they shouldn't so the party fails skill challenges. He...
