To make it more effective though, the ability that he uses to get the enemies prone, the breath, should "prone them" even on a miss... :)

I meant "justify" not much in game terms, but just in "what can we expect" terms. I mean, you have seen the new monsters: they all get unique abilities, so they don't need any meta-game justification. I just think that the whole concept of power sources and the "so close" planes in the 4e...

Well it's just an idea of mine, I don't really see it as so probable, but given that they're not tying them to alignments anymore (except for a vague chaos VS law contrast that I find is present pretty much in everything in the PoL "meta-setting"), I thought they could at least give to their...

I know most of you could have already seen this, but since I didn't see this mentioned by anyone, not even the unofficial 4e info page, take a look at the official Wizards' Products page for Draconomicon I: Chromatic Dragons... We'll have THREE new chromatic dragons and some more crunch too it...

As you can see guys... Creating monsters will be easy and fun. epochrpg, you started one of the most interesting, useful, and overall best threads I've seen in this forum so far.

Well, I think that Eberron will come up with a new "artifice" power source. If they keep the concept tied to one class only, it will definitely become a leader, with special construct buffing abilities and magic item making for everyone. I guess they'll also make it so that some items will be...

Only one problem: a solo player may never face solo monsters (not even elite) of appropriate level. For the first 4 or 5 levels it won't even possible to face solo monsters (because they would need to be 3 levels lower). But well, killing a dragon all alone is pretty awesome, so it can be worth...

Yes, as I mentioned in another thread, 4e actually brings me back into D&D playing, and DMing more than playing. The main reason is that I like to pull out some interesting, strange and alternative settings and adventures, so that includes monsters, NPCs, and everything. And with 3e, I got the...

My latest 3.5 campaign was the first set in a home-brew world, and it started so slowly in real life time terms and so fast in leveling up terms, that I became overwhelmed with threat re-adjusting (just as spunky_mutters says) and players became tired of the long times between sessions, also...

Thank you! Feral Form is intended to be a little different from a shapeshifting. It's more like a quasi-real illusion that may influence minds more than physics. Actually, all the at-will fear effects are "delivered" by the means of damned fast feral form activations... Even when the effect...

Oh yeah, now that I think of it, I saw powers for this Dragoon yesterday, I see I can't set the score! ;) Me too I'm happy with both the Feywild and Shadowfell in 4e and I look forward to make this class feel like an integral part of the system, we'll see... Feel free to disuss it, criticize...

It's official: the Wildhaunt will soon turn to be my first (and maybe THE first?) 4e custom class. Take a look at it, the class is practically complete and polished even if not usable due to not yet developed spells. Actually not spells but Shadow Magic (from Tome of Magic) mysteries. The class...

It's aquatic and we know for sure: the leaked statblock specifically states an Aquatic "sub-type", so I guess it breaths normally under water. EDIT: Sorry, you were faster than me replying. About synergy of breath weapon with water and environment, I really hope it makes it in the final...

Perfectly agree: the math seems really ok, my bet is that you will always be able to have fun fights with monster levels going from 2 lower to 2 higher the party level. This was 3 higher and was tough. Could have been won with some luck, good tactics and a more canny party member instead of...

My take: with just 2nd or 3rd level characters the fight would have been of different odds, and we're speaking of 4th level solo monster. So, absolutely no problem with anything related to this dragon fight. Anything BUT the flight. A fight with a flying dragon could have been possible (always...

Hi everyone! Something not very probable but surely very cool occurred to me about the 4e metallic dragons... What if they're from the Feywild? They could then also invent a whole new type of dragons coming from the Shadowfell... EDIT: Another guess: we know that black dragons (and surely all...
