I think you're too focused on the metagame concept of minions to understand what function they fulfill in 4e. You don't go out and "hire minions or first level goblins to defend you" you "hire creatures to defend you" Creatures with the minion rules don't go around the game world with the word...

I don't see how that couldn't be done with the parcel system, although you're not wrong per se. You can give your dragon say... 5 parcels of the treasure for the level. Then to get multiple small items in there with the hoards of gold, you can 'buy' the low level items to fill it out. It's a...

Actually I thought Intoxicated too. It's a good word to explain it, although contaminated is good too.

From what it looks like on paper: The fighter is better at controlling and defending against multiple opponents. The paladin is better at locking down and punishing a single foe This is purely from reading through, but I honestly like the way the fighter looks much more than the paladin. The...

I agree. I think the paragon tier is closer to balanced, but the another at will 1/encounter probably steps on the human's racial ability the least.

I'm very happy with the new healing system. The players can go on for several encounters (and tend to keep pushing on until someone is out of healing surges) Having the healing surge system where you can only be healed a certain amount in the day makes much more sense that you're exhausted...

Boosting basic melee attacks is not a bad thing. Things you do without needing anyone else to gain benefit from them: Charging Basic attack - which you've now boosted to higher damage potential than your at wills. Use your at-wills only when you want the special effect and basic attack when...

Wouldn't that more properly be, "as is, if a PC faces in a one on one fight, 303 normal monsters of whatever their level is at the time, they'll make it from 1st to 30th." 303 normal 1v1 monsters. And live to survive it. That's quite a feat. In fact, if you're in a party of 5 adventurers...

It's a good thing that none of the settings I play in, play in world called Earth in the Sol Solar System. Actually, since paladins are the only PHB class that start with plate proficiency and paladins aren't that common in my setting, Plate is not normally made, sold and bought, but those with...

I've already mentioned to my players that I will hand out milestones when they have reached them. If they had an encounter that was less than their level it only counts partially towards earning a milestone. Basically I tell them when they reach it. Usually it's once every 2 encounters, but...

I still make mine in paint. I know it takes a while, but it produces the results I am looking for. I don't know why, but everyone I play with always has enjoyed my character sheets over all of the alternatives out there. They must think like me or something. Anyway, I was really impressed...

This is how it makes sense to me: In price comparison, magic items to common folk is like buying a 1 million dollar sports car for the lower or lower middle class. If you obtain a 1 million dollar sports car, and you want to convert that to cash quickly (as adventurers after an adventure may...

Well, the one from the Monster Manual is intended to be for use of making NPCs, but with the DM's permission can be played as a player character (As stated per the MM). The pdf from the dragon magazine was the warforged race with the players in mind, but as pulling from a source the DM doesn't...

It may be in the minority, but having the choice of running that without requiring it (like asking if all the players would like to do that) I could see as quite a fun endeavor. I would think changing the powers to something different might be fun. Instead of getting to use one at-will power...

This far surpasses what I thought I'd see when I opened it. Aside from the spelling errors mentioned earlier, this is the best sheet in organization and implementation yet. I do have a suggestion though. A spot for Residuum would be nice, especially in or close to the wealth area. I realize...

I can't say I found any of that funny.. :(

Ditto. With the info of minions, regular monsters, elite monsters and solo monsters, I can think of so many ways to build encounters. I'm looking forward to see what the "DM toolbox" has in store for making life for the DM easier.

I don't have the books yet, nor the pdf, but when using an implement to use a power don't you only add the enhancement bonus to hit and damage? It has to have a WEAPON keyword in the power to get the proficiency bonus to hit (or be a basic melee/ranged attack), does it not?

From what I've heard from a friend, aside from all the different rumors on the internet, at least one of the downloads had the PHB with the "cut marks and color bars on the sides." The other two books in the torrent seem to have been mid-res scanned, without having those crop marks and...

Not that I have the books yet, but from what I've read from the boards and previews is that it's a minor to pull out and a minor to drink. Quickdraw reduces it to a minor to pull out and drink. But I'm sure someone who got their books early would be more justified to figure that out.
