I can't help but nod. There are some very good points here, especially about the point of views you offered. I would disagree with you in regards to DM control (I simply didn't see it as an issue), the players were free to behave as they wanted. The pipe led to a 'dead end' because it was...

OK, some fair points there. So how did it play out? I thought, ok, I know they wont succeed, but I'll still make it challenging and fun and allow them to earn xp. I'll create a skill challenge. In the 1st 5 minutes they spend a good 3/4 hours (in game) travelling deep in the mountain...

A couple of good points there. In my defence. Whilst I have used the term 'pipe', think of them as tunnels that have been dug through the mountain side. The function, to flush out waste water. The PC's did make a listen check at the cap, and tapped at it with a spear. I told them that...

Hi Korjik, Thanks for your thoughts. To answer your questions... I made it plain as day that it was a pipe that carried waste water out of the mountain with significant pressure. They climbed up the mountain side and checked it for archers and traps...and found none You are correct in...

Skill, art, the meaning of (DMing) life,...all these considerations laid bare just because of a drainage pipe. Hello, I am the DM who's woefull skills have been put under the spotlight. I am happy to explain the issue and situation in context (as I see it), however, my feeling here is that...

An inablity to control the field (not 'sticky' compared to a fighter), the MAD stat requirements (especially if you are not a dragonborn) and an alternate (WOW build?) forcing the 'defender' to stand back and use ranged attacks/effects/buffs(aka wow), confirms for me the festering idea that they...

Your probably right, this is my style as well. I KNOW it can be cool, I can just sense it,..its just a matter of 'cracking' the right way of doing it on the fly.

Is anyone else having a tough time implementing and enjoying the use of skill challenges. At the moment, I have them mentally catergorised as 'time wasters' and well,...unfun. They seem like a headache to set up and understand (both in implementation and the xp the are supposed to yield), and...

I agree with you about fund limitations also resulting in a limitation on the Ritual usage, but I still think that the scope it provides in allowing the creation of any item is 'generous'. Thinking more about this issue, even though I too am using the parcel system, the party seems greatly...

Just caught up with the basics in this thread. All I can say is that I still think this Ritual is just 'Broken'. I just can't escape that conclusion. Any item you want,...that's worth repeating,..ANY item you want up to your level,..just fork out the mats and gold and away you go. I'm...

Sounds like the way to go,..thanks for the feedback. I had to ask, simply because I want to minimise 'house rules' and unexpected consequences they could produce. Thanks again.

Elephants, as per RAW (Rules As Written,) can only carry a normal load of 312 pounds. My Dragonborn Ranger is heavier than that, naked. ELEPHANTS! Normal: 312. Heavy: 625. Push/Drag: 1562. Seems kinda funked. God help any standard riding horse with a rider wearing anything more than Hide! Has...

Cool, I'd actually heard that as well. I should of been more specific. I was wondering what sort of Stat bonuses, racial benefits etc they would be getting.

Does anyone know if there is any news about what the official 4e Half Orc is going to look like?

This was the point I was trying to get across. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Thanks :D

Ok, This question has 2 parts. i have just read the swift charge power, and wanted to clarify what the limitation (if any) of the power is? 1. Imagine a barbarian in a room full of minions, the barbarian activates the swift charge power, assuming he hits with every attack, does that mean...
