    Avenger Impressions

    I disagree. The avenger motivates enemies to stick together closely, yes. But that allows your party to capitalize on blast and bursts, which most classes have at least a few of at encounter level. I do have a dislike to the effect that the avenger will probably always play the same way -...

    "loseing is not cost effective"

    You're fine. Burning dailies is the whole point of them, especially if things look bad. As you get more comfortable with 4E you'll also be able to use less boom and go longer. Just be careful in general not to think "Well, he used his daily, I should too" because the best course of action is...

    Any tips for DMing PHB2 release day adventure?

    After looking over the adventure, these are my thoughts: (NOTE: VERY MINOR SPOILERS) It is pretty straightforward and standard WOTC easy. However, it has a LOT of HP on the enemies. If your goal is to be done in the time frame of 2-3 hours, you'll need to work with the players to get them...

    Miniless 4e

    It certainly is possible. It'll be much different experience, but that comes with both good and bad things. The goal is to take it from a tactical game to a storytelling game, and both have their merits. I think someone could even go so far to say that they use different sides of the brain...

    What Class are you? Fun tool from WOTC promoting PHB II

    Lame. The questions aren't vague enough, theya re too close to the rules and the book. It is no different than selecting a class out of a PHB. It'd be useful if it didn't have "What powers would you choose" questions, since then I could direct new players there to pick a class that fits their...

    Battlegraph dry erase Boards!

    This looks very interesting. I'll keep my eyes peeled as time goes on. I use a vinyl mat right now. However, I'm not pleased. It doesn't fit in my gamer bag, so I'm stuck carrying an extra tube. Also, it is wet erase, so kinda requires a bit of a mess to set up multiple encounters. Also, I...

    How can I introduce Warforged into my Warhammer D&D Campaign?

    I'd go with some sort of Skaven construct :) But I'm a rat fan and that might not fly with the players (That, and it'd probably be the equivelent of radioactive)

    So, about Expertise...

    This is a huge boost to Human as a racial choice. I'm a bit surprised to see that Bonus Feat racial becoming a big deal this early, but now the only one stat boost is quickly remedied by the +1 to hit feat anyway. Overall, I'm disappointed, and about to be REALLY disappointed if it is a feat...

    Warlock's Curse stacking THP & maybe BRV also

    This is pretty simple. You have 10 guys cursed, they all die in a big SIMULTANEOUS explosion (say, a wizzie fireball). How many THP do you get? Since it all happens AT THE SAME TIME, i have no problem with it adding together as one effect, which it seems is the customer service response...

    Gamescience Dice?

    Seems like the only kind you can get really are the uninked ones - which is fine. I just ordered 2 sets :) Gotta love the sharp corners and the better rolling.

    SQUEE! The rust monster revealed!

    Hmmm... I wonder if it would be a good thing or a bad thing as a DM to let the players find a bag of holding with a rust monster hiding inside...

    Is 4e bringing new players to the game?

    It allowed my wife to play, and now she loves it. 4E, with that just one person, to me, has done everything right.

    D&D 4E Paladins - The first 4e class to fail

    I agree, paladins are the first class to "Fail" Or, more specifically, the first class to be completely outclassed by another class (Though melee rangers may argue, and technically it'll be a tie with wizards, as invokers may arguablly outclass good old wiz). Avenger, though a striker...

    D&D 4E Where can I find a good 4e character builder program?

    DDI is best money I've spent at WOTC. Saved me from having to buy adventurer's vault, and probably will save me from buying the * Power series if they are anything like martial power. Basically, for 5 bucks a month, i get all the crunch books AND the software to make characters with them...

    Who heals in a Druidic society?

    You could also use rituals - create "Druid Only" rituals in your game that have some decent supernatural healing. Blammo, it not only can be a cool roleplaying descriptor, you've got your druidic healing. Since it is a ritual, you can potentially make it far more powerful than mere Cleric...

    Who heals in a Druidic society?

    Two points if it needs to be mentioned: First, multiclassing as cleric is one of the best MC choices for a druid. Additionally, as a WIS class, heal is a pretty strong skill for druids. Second, seems that some of their powers have a very slight healing element, so it may very well be...

    Tact-Tiles: The End

    Well, that was painless

    I also had a breeze booking. I booked a spot at the Sheraton at 11:00 pm central time and it was only a few blocks away.

    Chicago Gameday XXII Planning Thread; our date is March 21st

    Will do, might be able to stop by tomorrow. If not, I'll probably be around later on Saturday to check and see how the LFR table is going.
