Good one, almost scored a keyboard. Here I thought that undead could only be healed by multiple castings of various Cause Wounds spells. Some how flesh and brains seem kind of mundane for a high fantasy game ;)

I'm currently no longer seeking more gamers. Thank you to those that replied. Steve

Hello, I’m still looking for a couple more players to join our gaming group. We are a non-smoking group that enjoys a mixture of action and roleplaying. Our first get together is planned for this Saturday at noon. So if you’re interested in giving D&D 4e a try and running around in the...

Are looking to delve the depths of Khyber, sail to the heights of Siberys, and adventure in the lands of Eberron? If so, then this game is for you. I am starting a D&D 4e Eberron campaign in March and looking to add a couple more players. This once a month game will be hosted in a non-smoking...

Currently, I play mostly Hero games (Champions and Space Hero). However, I run both Dragonlance 4e (my version of it) and Star Wars Saga.

You're correct; I didn't take #5 in to consideration or #3 or #4. So how about this: During an encounter at the beginning of your turn roll a d6. If you roll a 6 (5-6 paragon, 4-6 epic), you either regain one spent encounter attack power that has not been recharged this encounter or gain a +1...

Why not use the recharge mechanic for monsters? At the beginning of your turn, roll a d6. If you score a 6, then you recharge one of your spent encounter powers. As you advance in rank, increase the range for success: 5-6 for paragon, 4-6 for epic. A very simple mechanic one the players will...

At Gen Con, I started calling my character Stratos the Unsaving. The highlights of his career include: Becoming immobilized near the beginning of a battle not making a single save during the entire encounter (8 rounds). Being hit by an ongoing damage effect (5 hp/round psychic damage) not...

Good suggestion. I thought about something similar. Another item for consideration would be to eliminate the extra damage for being prone. With their knock down ability, I think that needlefangs fulfill their soldier role and don't need the extra damage.

Has anyone run or played through a combat with one or more needlefang drake swarms? These swarms seem a bit too powerful for their level (2nd). Just like all swarms, they have a swarm aura damage. However, they can also knock you down (+7 vs. Fortitude) and savage you all in the same round...

A surprise round should be beneficial to the ambusher(s). So, I've always given the ambusher(s) a full round of actions in 3.5 and intend to do so in 4e.

If you are looking to add wuxia level play to Legend of the 5 Rings (L5R), then Feng Shui is a great pick. L5R has a great setting and could easily be converted into a high cinematic (less gritty) game. I'd suggest that you modify the gun shticks to allow them to be used with...

I have two copies of every set and really find them handy. Of the 7 sets, I've used #1, 3, 6 the most. However, I would like to see more outdoor tiles with rivers, mountains, hills and forest/jungle terrain. Also, I like to see some good outer wall castle pieces.

I've purchased many minis from them both D&D and Star Wars. The only difficulty that I've had involved lack of stock. A couple of times (two that I can recall out of 15+ orders) one of the minis I ordered was out of stock. GameRocket sent me an email stating as such and refunded me the...

I certainly hope characters get decent bonuses to attack. The AC 44 Pit Fiend looks like a tough foe to strike. Assuming a 26th level warrior type character might have the following attack bonus: Character level (+13) STR 24 (+7) (STR 18 + level bonuses (SAGA basis)) Magic Weapon (+5) (This...
