Hi folks, can someone tell me if this Adventure Path (AP) is worth beginning it? I must confess that I have no experience with any AP at all. But this time I see it as a great deal of time which I can spare. Flipping through the first adventure Rescue at Rivenoar I thought: "Not another...

Hi folks, I just think about some minor changes for the Eberron Campaign Setting. I cannot wait until june 2009 so I build some stuff on my own. ;) First. I think the ranger with his two-weapon-fighting powers makes a good basis for a elven fighter from valenar. Reknown for their double...

Hi folks, if I got this right the distinction between elfs and eladrin results from the fact that some people see the elfs as nature bond rangers (archetyp) while the see in them the long living wizards of ancient might (archetyp). So the Eladrin have a high affinity to magic (+2 to INT, +2...

If you call it like that you have to agree that the fighter also has extra stuff. If I get this right the basic for beeing marked (as a condition) is a -2 to attack rolls if you attack another enemy than the one which has marked you. But the fighter gets the extra stuff that he can also attack...

Ah, thanks.

Hi folks, can someone explain to me what the mark ability of a skeleton does? Skeleton: MM p. 234 First of all I thought it has the same properties as the ability from the fighter. But then I thought that this is called combat challenge. And that the paladin can also mark and there is some...

What is LFR? Cheers, Evil DM. P.S.: I think a crash course for you depends on your 3.5 experience. First of all what I appreciate as an advice: Forget all you know about 3.5!! Then. Most of the basics remain the same: Roll a d20, add modifiers and achieve a high result. Where the basis for...

Hi folks, I just wonder about the Paladin's Holy Symbol Implment. I agree that it makes some sense that a rightous warrior can call the power of his god through his holy symbol hanging around his neck.... ....so much for the flavoer text. But why are there so few powers which allow an...

For the matter of maximum damage. Yes. Because 1d12+1 has an increase in maximum damage, what you do not have with 1d12 brutal 2. That is more a psychological issue as noted before. That does not come into account for the average value, why it is called average.... ;) I second that. Despite...

Yes, this is a point that the weapon seems to be an exotic weapon. But then on the other hand I do not understand this rerolling mechanism. As I said in another thread before: I like the 4th edition to reduce the amount of dice rolling (e.g. the mechanics for criticals). So why now again...

Hi folks, I just wonder about the new Execution Axe from here: Preview Or to be more specicif, about the brutal property which says: I hope I get my mathematics right this time. A d12 has an expectation value of E = 6.5 If I take now the brutal property into account this value rises to E =...

Okay. I must agree that my statistical feeling lead me to a false conclusion. Thus I did my homework and maybe we can discuss the issue here Cheers, Evil DM.

I second that. But not for the +2. 1. On a statisctical point of view you can do more damage if you are allowed to reroll your dice. So you do another 5.5 points of damage in your case of using a d10. 2. Why I agree? Because I like the 4th edition for reducing the amount of dice rolling (e.g...

Hi folks, just to make sure that I get this right: I want to use the Death Master Template (DMG p187) on a Hobgoblin Warcaster (MM p. 140). Do I get it right that I add 8 times 3 plus 14 = 38 HPs ? Which makes a total of 84 HPs? And that for a 3rd Level Elite Monster? Which means it is worth...

Hi folks, I just wonder if I get this right. In the description of the trap is written: So lets say a character ends its move in a trigger square. Does this mean he is attacked three times? First when he enters the square. Second when it is the traps turn. Third when he starts his new turn in...

@77IM: First of all players can use as many healing powers as they like. BUT this rule of thumb is just intended for dangerous places or hostile enviroment where you said yourself: So, if I get you right. You would prohibit resting where I allow it with a little risk. I do not force the...

Not exactly. On the one hand I apprecialte this new system to regain HPs rather quickly. That's something why I like the new edition. Things keep moving. But on the other hand I want the players to think about their tactic. That there may exist some times where it is not rahter useful. Thus I...

Err. :uhoh: But according to this it is in the spirit fo the game. Cheers, Evil DM.

Yes, I meant thumb - sorry. I am not quite sure if I were able to present my intent correctly. :uhoh: I know that a PC can take as many healing surges as he likes during a short rest. I care more about using healing encounter powers in addition to that. Because with the excessive use of...

Hi folks, I think about the use of encounter powers after a battle. I did unterstand that it is possible for the cleric to support everybody's use of healing surges with his Healing Word Encounter Power. But on the other hand I think one must keep track of the number of uses. Because for every...
