Just imagine the utter ridiculousness of the tusks on a Vampiric Pitfiend.

Marking is definitely a pain in the butt. By any chance, did you try it with tiles or poker chips or something to that effect or were you trying to do it via memory?

Hey all! Just saw this on Wizard's main page: http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4news/20080417a Wizards of the Coast is pleased to announce that third-party publishers will be allowed to publish products compatible with the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition game system under the new...

Have the target flee on its turn. This way the spell both wastes an enemy turn, provokes an OA and gets them across potentially dangerous terrain. They won't necessarily flee exactly along the same path they came from either because they are seeking to escape the cleric. If the cleric is in a...

This is really quite busted. The Shinigami class can first select a ranged weapon of any type, let's say a bow. Now he stays in the back with the wizard, and each time the marked enemy attacks a Defender in front of him, he gets a free shot. He, however, can shoot whomever he likes since the...

I had trouble remember that Reach doesn't threaten anymore, unless it specifically states it does.

I would honestly disagree here about having them make their own characters. I think the entire process is a bit easier to get into by using the pre-mades and finding a way to personalize them than to create characters from scratch - not the least reason of which is that this takes much longer...

Try and include a few extra skill challenges based around the description at the end of the PHB Lite. It details how to handle them and while they take a bit of jumping on your part and the players', it'll help them own the characters and the situation and encourage their role-playing.

But the Half-Elf can only use that latter power as an Encounter ability, and in addition it's a +2 bonus which doesn't stack with bonuses provided by other classes (namely the Cleric). Plus some monsters will invariably have a Will almost equal to their other Defenses or in fact higher - the...

I would be the source for the Warlord; I made it since we hadn't gotten anything from Wizards on it. It should be changed though to give a +2 power bonus instead of Int mod though. It attacks Will due to the opponent's effort not only to concentrate upon dealing with your attack but to watch out...

Those particular choices are at present called Tactics (since that's what the Rogue's choices were called). Every class definitely has at least two, but current the Rogue's and the Fighters are the only ones we know for definite. So here are a few fan-made ones. I couldn't, despite my best...

Given the set up you've got, I'd begin by having a few small combats with PCs on one side then the other. Let them see one another across the battlefield and then have the two armies charge. Each gets an encounter against a handful of peasant militia and say a commander who won't die in a shot...

I'm really digging Shocking Grasp - I think that's quite close to the original spell as well. Very cool. Potentially I'd even make it melee versus Reflex to represent that armour isn't much use against it. Knockdown Strike is a bit too tough. I think someone had posted a Fighter At-Will called...

It does make sense that you could, for instance, bull-rush someone onto your handy nearby phalanx of spearmen who are all set for a charge. In that case, prolly go with the save mechanic to hit the deck before you collide with them, otherwise give everyone in melee range a free immediate basic...

Page 4, under Elf Weapon's Training: You missed the t in shortbow. In addition, I suggest keeping the simple race write-ups featured in the PHB Lite 1.3.1 My players found these very helpful in trying to put together PCs. It needn't give full details such as what "Elven Accuracy" does, but...

Please forgive the rough state of this, it's the first draft. What I'm mostly concerned is the playability of the combat encounters - there should be a few rough ones in there and I'm worried some might be too tough for a 1st level party. Thank you for any help or feedback you can offer! Edit...

Is there anything else in particular that people are looking for right now? I've got a little bit of time on my hands and so would be glad to help make something else if people are pleased with how the Warlord came out. One thing I'd been thinking was a write up of Tactics for each of the...

So I have a demo adventure which I'd like to make available here on ENWorld, but unfortunately my group wasn't ready on time, and I am left with it untried and untested. I don't want to just put it up here out of the blue without a few trial runs first, so is there anyone out there in the wide...

Sheesh - this really did stir up a nest of bees. So, a few thoughts: Lizard, you seem really quite cross with the name and appear to think it too evocative of a wuxia feeling from Hong Kong cinema, in which a martial arts move doesn't actually have to make sense. If I may then, perhaps a name...

Warlord, with all the changes made thus far (save changing White Raven Onslaught's name, but with the changes to the phrasing to make it a bit more comprehensible). I also attached the fancier version, which should look a bit nicer: Warlord “We may be fleeing, and we may be wounded, and we may...
