the monster manual describes sahuagin as worshipers of sekolah, great demonic shark, who is an exarch of melora. however, given their chaotic evil alignment, i instead would have them worshipping the demon lord, dagon. i supposed that i am inclined to see most, if not all, chaotic evil races...

given his position as first--arguably--among demon lords, i feel that demogorgon has not been given enough worshippers among the natural humanoid races. baphomet has the minotaurs. yeenoghu has the gnolls. gruumsh (a demon lord, in my view) has the orcs. so, what does the monster manual 2 say...

lol. thanks. the latter. now, i know that races and monsters (page 50) states that most undead are soulless--and i do find its explanation of death and undeath to be both elegant and intelligent--but i prefer to construe even soulless undeath as somehow monkeying with the life-death cycle...

thanks!

looking at the h-p-e adventure series, i very much like the orcus/raven queen conflict. however, i see the conflict and goals somewhat differently: we know that the raven queen is quite powerful because, among other reasons, almost all creatures die and the raven queen is the god of death...

thanks

i have not yet seen the dmg2, but i am wondering whether a template similar to mine was included. can anyone with the dmg2 tell me if this is so?

i will attempt to provide an acceptable answer: If a specific rule contradicts a general rule, the specific rule wins. For example, a general rule states that you can’t use a daily power when you charge. But if you have a daily power that says you can use it when you charge, the power’s...

i don't want to derail this thread, but i also do not want to ignore your question, cadfan. i am no rules expert and i do not claim to know the answer to every permutation of this close burst/zone issue. but, i can identify (i) some of the pertinent rules and (ii) the fact that the close...

i like your approach, although it would be a new direction for zones historically (well, 4e historically). hopefully, creeping doom will be wotc's opportunity to provide further guidance with respect to zones. as an aside, i really do enjoy seeing old names reappear; in this case, creeping...

after rereading the power, i see how it is not a traditional close burst attack; however, i still do not see how the druid's square is not in the zone. is this a rule regarding zones? if so, would you please direct me to that rule? if, instead, this "hole" in the zone is based on the close...

to be precise: "unless a power description notes otherwise, a close burst you create does not affect you. however, an area burst you create does affect you." PHB 272 so, in this case--a close burst--the caster would not be affected, but anyone else who happens to be in the origin square would...

how about being a little nicer in (i) redirecting altemar and (ii) not utterly ignoring his legitimate question?

bravo. (on second thought, does scimitar dance remind you of anybody?) okay this little contradiction is not limited to 4e, but it does apply to 4e. dwarves are the consummate miners (arguably), therefore, as a race, they likely are quite adept with the tools of a miner: a hammer and a pick...

level 1, 2 infernal spells, none with fire or fear keyword my discussion was limited to infernal spells. i am aware of what you are pointing out. from a flavor standpoint, i think that a warlock who takes half his spells outside of his pact really is not playing his pact and is diluting the...

i changed it. i prefer the idea that only the very best and most devoted of lolth's drow servants are awarded with this transformation. syncing driders with matrons mothers just made sense to me. so, instead of driders being "subservient to lolth's priests", they represent the elite of...

i would love to see searchable monster images (perhaps as hyperlinks from the stat blocks), so that i can spin my monitor towards the players and let them see what they face, without worrying about covering up stat blocks.

thank you for your constructive input. you are right about moving it to the house rules section. unfortunately, i do not think i am capable of moving an existing thread from one section to another. as i mentioned in the original post, this is my very first thread on en world. i did not...
