    Do foes and PCs understand consequences?

    I've been calling them as I see them. for example: Riposte Strike - a rogue or elite warrior would recognise it, but not a wolf fighters combat challenge - a lesser, but still trained and/or experienced warrior would probably recognise it, maybe a tiger or wolf, not a dog or an arcane...

    the flying wizard mobile

    Attatch a mast and sail to your tensures floating disc, sit on the disc and use your at-will thunderwave to blow your way along. Super fast hover boat that seats four fer' ten gold pieces... if your dm's nice you can use it on water too. You may need to entrap your dm by slowly establishing...

    (Mongoose) Wraith Recon Announced for 4e

    cool sounds like it has potential... And by october eh? I'd like it to be a good resource for my players and have interesting tactical twists for the dm to use.

    cheers for the dragon and dungeon

    Cheers for the dragon and dungeon pdfs that are rolling out; I'm impressed and if they keep dishing these out my opinion of 4e will climb ever higher. And the art in them is great too!

    podcast: 4th edition combat too long

    To those who are aghast at the supposed poor tactics implemented by the party... Have you considered they did that on purpose? The old demo screen on the arcade machine gambit... you watch the computer playing ms.pacman and think "Thats horrible! I could do WAY better than *that*!" Then you...

    the luckiest battle

    The last encounter was a surprise attack by the youngest white dragon (solo brute lvl3) vs 5 1st lvl pc's who had used all of their dailies and most of their surges. My "eyeballing" ability was pretty much off-line because it's a totally new edition, and when the bastard rolled a crit with his...

    A discussion of Keith Baker's post regarding the Skill Challenge system

    er, whoops. Still, for a skill challenge where you can make your attempts at 5 minute intervals, such as navigating a jungle or some-such, this ability would destroy.

    A discussion of Keith Baker's post regarding the Skill Challenge system

    Have you factored in a party with a ranger that has the power "crucial advice"? It's at-will and it seems a bit omnipotent for some skill challenges. Personally I see the basic frame work of the skill challenge presented in the core books, and I want to create skill challenges that are as...

    my stealth problems resolved

    So the situations been pretty much boiled down to it's core over in the rules forum; 1. stealth is meant to be used in combat to grant CA, which seems very potent for ranged attacks 2. the rules are pretty confusing 3. it seems like a lot of dice rolling 4. errata is inbound So in the...

    What is wrong with 4E?

    Interesting. My dmg and mm didn't get the wavy pages/slightly not closing problem, maybe because for some reason i did put them under a stack of other books and such after peruesing them. My phb did though, not a big deal just kind of odd. Considering my group has a ritual "biting of the...

    Well that was fun...

    Thanks! Enworld rocks! Wish I had checked it out a lot sooner.

    Well that was fun...

    Sorry pal, but you are probably just burnt out in general. Not only is 4e self evidently a winner, but many of your points go beyond a stale, contridictary opinion and are just patently wrong. Pick a side man. At the end of your post you complain that there isn't enough rules support for...

    Monsters and Lore

    Yes well the players with more meta game knowledge will just know the monster stats anyway, no? But perhaps a vague but plainly spoken clue is better than the hint the name gives, I intend on only revealing one power in this fashion per check, maybe two on a natural 20.

    Monsters and Lore

    looks right... there is also a blurb in the monster manual for the lore checks. What I want to know is how much information about the powers is the dm supposedly oblidged to give? I'm thinking just the names... A full stat readout for a free action seems a bit whack.

    Does hitting a milestone need more sizzle?

    Reading the title of the OP, I thought this discussion was a call to add some description to the reaching of a milestone. I'ts an adrenaline/moral/momentum kind of effect, if I don't have any improvised speeches about how grim and determined they are or whatever I'll probably just ask the...

    first sesh 4e campaign

    I didn't adjust the first encounter, by heavily modified I meant cosmeticly. We have one more player coming, guess I'll hint that the party needs a wizard. If he doesn't make it than yeah I guess I'll have to bench a few kobolds...

    power bonus stacking

    yeah thats exactly how it works... the only thing worse than power-stacking-madness would be power-stacking-checking-insanity probably it will all work fine, not sure yet though I've only played one session and just learned about it

    Stealth in Combat?

    I would run things pretty close to what you've written here, except that so long as any one enemy is aware of you, all the enemies are aware of you (talking is a free action taken out of turn order). -- unan

    first sesh 4e campaign

    Got all three books early, thank you chapters book store! Started a new campaign with four other guys, 2 regular and 2 new. They chose to make: rogue dragonborn rogue cat-person (eladrin reskinned, using halfling racial feat tree) cleric dwarf (worships the gawd of monsters) warlord human...
