    KotS -- built for 5 PCs?

    I'm DMing a party of 4 through KotS at the moment; they have just defeated the kobolds outside the lair without any difficulty at all. The wyrmpriest and the dragonshields in the previous encounter proved to be a little tougher, but in the end everyone was okay apart from the cleric, who was...

    Only thing I don't like so far: Power Replacement

    Well, for wizards, the spell remains in the spellbook, so they can learn it for the day if they want, I would say.

    D&D 4E Reviewing Past Predictions about 4e

    The influence of Savage Worlds and similar game systems is particularly obvious in 4E, which is great for me, because I love Savage Worlds. 4e is now I game I will (and do) play, whereas 3/3.5 was too complex IMHO and I would never consider DMing it. I did play for a while but moved to SW as...

    Shifting

    Can any creature or character shift (move 1 sq without provoking an OA) as a move action, or do they need a power that allows them to use this maneouvre? Its not clear from what I've read of the PHB so far (which is not that much, I'll admit) but it came up in last night's skirmish. Thanks

    First Strike and Sneak Attack

    Rogues get First Strike and Sneak Attack as class features. :1: First Strike gives the rogue Combat Advantage against all enemies that follow him in the initiative order. :2: Sneak Attack allows the rogue to perform a sneak attack for extra damage against a target he has Combat Advantage...

    D&D 4E How does 4E hold up on verisimilitude?

    I've been playing and DMing RPGs for 30 years and the only time I ever heard a gamer use the word "verisimilitude" is on this forum when I joined a few months ago...

    Out of Healing Surges - what now?

    The character is in trouble and will probably need to hang back for the next couple of encounters, until they reach a safe area. He could be killed in either of those encounters. That's the game, sorry to say. ;)

    add 1/2 level to ability checks? What? Why?

    So stop playing 4e if it hurts your brain so much!
