Agreed! This was exactly the situation my party faced in last week's session with Blazing Skeletons at the top of stairways and platforms and Chillborn Zombies & Skeleton Minions littering the main floor making it difficult for the party to rush the stairs. I think the general party consensus...

Absolutely agree. I currently DM 8 2nd level PCs and while the party has both a dwarf Cleric & (now) a TacLord, the former tends to rush headlong into battle with a grin (worships Kord ;) ). In last night's game he dropped unconscious after already using his Second Wind. The TacLord was already...

Yep, Implements section for the Wizard, PHB pg 157: That's a good thing to remember because I'm not sure I've been doing it correctly either as a player or a DM. Subtle point but this is pretty clear. Edit: Oh, and Caliban's correct on the feats as well:

Looking through the PHB & AV, though, it's easy to note that many magic items don't have +1 or +2 versions. IDHMBWM, but IIRC some of them start at +4 enhancement and go up. So in response to DracoSuave's example, maybe disenchanting that +3 Healing Armor is a bad move since the magic doesn't...

Is it really making the power that much more powerful to let it strike the ground to guarantee the Secondary Attacks occur? You still have to make the same attack rolls against each target and by attacking the ground you've chosen to forego the 2d8+IntMod damage against a Primary Target. As an...

I think that's the way to deal with it. A Perception check to notice something happening is not an action, IIRC, so giving him a chance to roll would solve that and could be explained away with a success by seeing an odd distortion as the invisible creature moved away (Predator Movies)...

Go for the eyes, Boo! Sorry, had to be said! :p :lol: I was going to make this same point, but 77IM beat me to it. I think it's a great way to get some of the advantages of an animal companion without the "look everyone, I have 2 characters now all the time!" we quickly tired of in 3e. I can...

Umm, who's nerfing? I'm just trying to figure out the best answers to situations that either have or I expect to come up in the game I DM with a Wizard with this Daily Power or for the Wizard I play. I haven't seen enough of the Wizard's abilities to make any changes to the class, but I read...

Oooo! Good catch, Griogre! So with that understood, can the Wizard's allies move through the Sphere's space as they normally would any other ally or not? My instinct says "no" given that the sphere definitely occupies a square and, well, it's on fire! ;) So I guess it's not so much that...

I'm throwing my vote behind WalterKovacs and Nail, FWIW. Generally speaking, if a monster has low Intelligence and low Wisdom they tend to focus on the closest foe and/or pay attention to who's marked them. With average or better Intelligence or Wisdom I have them try to be a bit more...

Alright, so what about the "conjuring in an occupied square" bit you brought up? Is it legal to conjure it in the orc's square? And if it is, would the Wizard have to spend an action to move it out of that square if the Orc wasn't literally toasted to death since they can't both legally occupy...

Thanks for this as I don't have my books here at work, but what exactly does "occupies" mean since the current errata downloaded from WotC has this for the Flaming Sphere entry (emphasis mine): Here we have the errata contradicting itself, don't we? The specific entry says "occupies" while...

I'm wondering this, too. Given that the errata states, IIRC, that it "occupies" a square I've been treating as if it effectively fills the entire square (more because of the heat & fire that it gives off than the size I'm imagining I guess) and that it cannot move through allies or enemies nor...

IIRC it was the first or second round of errata for the PHB so I'm guessing July or August? It's been out for quite some time. There were quite a few threads dissecting the new vs old rules laying around the Rules forum here shortly after these were released as everyone tried to sift through...

Right. It'd be more appropriate to talk about getting the money from them while they're living in their Pink Houses in a Small Town on this is Lonely Ol'Night. After all, tomorrow is Just Another Day. :) Nail, it looks like we're on the same page here with this stuff. :cool: Thanks to everyone...

Yeah, I saw that and figured that helped equal one of the main differences between Warlords & Clerics. My next thought was "Is Divine Power going to have a feat that allows all the Cleric's allies +2 to Initiative when they're nearby?" ;)

That was my point actually (though it certainly could have been clearer, I admit). Adding one more cow to the 4e feast I don't think would have registered to most anyone in June with all the other...ah...food on the table. But trying to retrofit such a change now seems like a major big deal to...

This is a very important point! Everyone in this thread keeps referring to "Illusory Pit" or something like that and it's been months since I read the Dragon article where these powers appeared. The At-Will power is Illusory Ambush which has a range of 10 and does psychic damage and imposes a...

Asmor, you quoted Nail's post but somehow attributed it to Szatany. ;) FWIW, I think the perception of "I leveled and I'm now better than I was" with respect to attack bonuses is a sacred cow to most D&D players. I think for many (most?) if that number that doesn't increase it doesn't feel like...

I immediately got this mental picture of Nail swinging his shield over his head with both hands at the bat, just like a WWF wrestler with a steel folding chair. WUMP! :D
