Hurm, I haven't really been keeping up the way I used to with the rules minutia. Used to be people were kind of divided on that, I'll look around and see if there is a definitive answer one way or the other. Though I'm kind of hoping it's yes, I like the idea of Kylek being kind of physical.

Wasn't there some discussion when the PHB2 backgrounds were adopted of allowing people with the old style background an opportunity to switch them if they wished? That thread may already have the answer.

I'm really developing a new respect for the amount of stuff you have to track at high levels in 4e. Things were looking kind of rough there for a couple of rounds. I feel kind of bad, if Kylek hadn't disengaged when he did Sarenax might not have gotten so roughed up. I didn't expect the...

Kylek studied Ba-Ka-Thet with a low growl, steam hissing off the immense dragonborn's frame as his icy armour dissipated. Hmmm, this place has many interesting guests today. He considered the shifter a moment more. He has proven himself in battle and I think we can waste little time. The...

Lily shook her head and tried to focus. Unsteadily she pointed her focus toward the remaining abomination and unleashed another blast of angry spirits. standard: Haunting Spirits: vs Will (1d20+5=20) Psychic Damage (1d6+5=10). Until the end of Lily's next turn, the target grants combat...

Clyde followed the others through the door, still tightly gripping his crowbar. Looking around he noted the door and squinted down the dark passages, before turning back to their host. Alright, which way big guy?

Here's something that one of my characters created. Not inherently funny, but has potential in the right (wrong?) hands. Falger's Oil. An oil that removes hair and prevents any growth in the applied area for a year and a day. Great for the pretty boys that always want to look their best.

While Clyde was pondering if anything that crawled out of an egg bigger than his head should automatically be classified as small and harmless, the door opened revealing a threatening newcomer, or at least an ugly one. Clyde was startled, but held his ground. Hey, whoa there, we ain't done...

Magnus stepped out from behind the shrubbery quietly giggling to himself. With a flick of his hand he conjured its spectral twin next to the blinded dwarf, tapping him on the shoulder to confuse him. and slowly began to move his staff in a stirring motion. The now familiar twist of glinting...

Lily's eyes about jumped out of her head at the sight of the huge monstrosity barreling toward her. Eep! Big Zombie! She called to Lith to come to her and ducked back out of stitched together dwarven giant's range. Pressing herself up against the wall she leveled the skull at the thing, and...

Speaking for myself I'm not sure I'm interested in doing yet another level 1 character. I'm getting a little bored with the limited power selection of lower levels. If you're worried about the increasing gap between L4W veterans and new players why not raise the starting level?

Lily's OA would come from Lith instead herself, since the spirit companion actually does respectable damage. SSpirit's Fangs: vs Ref (1d20+5=10) if it hits: Damage (1d10+5=12) Reminder: Any of Lily's allies adjacent to her spirit companion gain a +3 bonus to their damage rolls against...

Lily turned and pointed to the other side of the tunnel, Over there! The inky form Lith sped across the space like a hunting hawk, hungry tentacles unfurling to attack the undead monstrosity sprawled across the cave floor. Meanwhile Lily held up the skull and called out. A wispy spirit...

Now I bet that rock there would be worth something. Clyde rubbed his chin and licked his lips like a man considering an imprudent action. Don't like those egg things though, he glanced around warily, if the spider didn't lay them, what did... Think we ought to destroy them, don't want...

Magnus gleefully brought his staff down again, pushing a wave of sound and fur before him. No longer immediately confronted by a row of gnashing teeth he looked up at the crossbowman, glanced around furtively, and then decided that discretion was the better part of valor and high tailed it...

Lily moved to the middle, where she could keep an eye on both sides of the melee. Raising the skull she carried she called out to her shadowy companion and darkness raced across the roof of the tunnel and dribbled down over Georg's head forming a dark, roiling cloud there, punctuated by many...

Clyde sniffed then spit on the chamber floor, regarding Alecto with squinty eyes for a moment. Finally he pulled off his pack and unlashed from the side a crude looking crowbar. I reckon we're going to open it up then. Hefting the bar, the wiry mutie approached the door and set to work.

Kruk, let them come to you! I'll help Grim! If Kruk doesn't move forward I think Lily can extract Grim from the flank with the free shift granted by the the spirit companion. I'll write up my turn proper once I have a better idea of what everyone's action is since Lily is riding so low in...

Move...move aside..., Magnus yelled at Vrrsk't, shuffling toward the line of battle, while tugging at the bolt in his hip with a manic expression on his face. With the other hand he raised his twisted staff high and he joined the melee he brought it down in hard to the earth, the keys jangled...

How often did the limits actually come up in play?
