    How Important/Feasible is 3 good NADs?

    I've found that two good NADs are generally the ideal number.

    Rituals - A wizard can Raise Dead?

    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...

    Minions - do you tell players who are minions and who are not in-game?

    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...

    Sustained powers that "Save Ends"?

    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).

    Sustained powers that "Save Ends"?

    I believe the issue that Danceofmasks is laboring to get across is the ambiguous referent of the '(save ends)' phrase. Meaning, it can either be read as: 1. A successful save ends the warlock's ability to sustain the effect. or 2. A successful save ends the effect itself. If it is the former...

    Is it possible to be successful without leaders?

    Thanks for the replies everyone, I'll definitely be bringing up some of your points with our DM if no one ends up switching to a leader. In particular, I'll talk with him about being able to rest regularly, as, from what I gather from the above, it seems our biggest detriment will be in having...

    Is it possible to be successful without leaders?

    Too bad there's no 3ed healing belt anymore, eh? :p

    Is it possible to be successful without leaders?

    The title says it really, we're starting a new 4e campaign in a few weeks at level 2, and we were wondering if it would be feasible to overcome content designed for a balanced party without any sort of healing class. The party would be made up of a controller, elemental shaman, a defender...

    Most exploited combo

    "DMM + nightsticks + persistent spell" Pardon my ignorance, but what are DMM and nightsticks?

    Ability Score Blues

    That's what my dilemma is, Walter. Except with ranger instead of rogue.

    Simple Stealth Scenario Question

    Unlimited 1 round invisibilities so long as you start and end in cover and make a good enough stealth roll. :p

    Ability Score Blues

    I'm rolling up an elf archery ranger, the small twist being our DM has decided to give us a 24 point stat array rather than the standard 22. That being the case, what would be more effective: 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...

    Here comes Power Booster Packs

    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

    D&D 4E Forked Thread: Some Thoughts on 4e

    It almost seems like Wizards looked at 3rd edition, saw that different characters of different complexities existed and figured no one could possibly enjoy a simpler, brawnier character whose development and fun came through personality and out of combat expression. I happen to disagree with...

    D&D 4E Forked Thread: Some Thoughts on 4e

    I've only been playing dnd for a few years now, and only 3.5 at that, but one thing I've really enjoyed about the game was exactly that which many people are hyping as the best change in 4th edition: lack of balance. For instance: what was the point of rolling for abilities in previous editions...

    Can a warlord "heal" an unconscious character

    Think of it like boxing folks.. sometimes a fighter is 'knocked out' temporarily and laying on the canvas but the sound of the referee counting to eight or his corner yelling is enough for him to regain his focus, get up, and keep fighting.
