    consequences of removing the character-based limit on daily magic items?

    Or alternatively you could say that they can only use the daily powers on a magic item if they were wielding that item when the encounter started. Greetings,

    D&D 4E Where can I find a good 4e character builder program?

    That's not entirely true. Many of the free excel/PDF based character sheets are free and pretty complete with regards to feats, powers, magic items, .... I'm currently using Wonko's excel character sheet and it is really great. Of course it doesn't look as visually pleasing as the WotC character...

    D&D 4E How long are your 4e combats taking, real time?

    BTW. This one hour per encounter includes setup time, roleplaying and everything. It is the total time we play on one evening and we generally do one encounter per evening. Greetings,

    D&D 4E How long are your 4e combats taking, real time?

    I played KotS with my children. We had a team of three: - One Dragonborn Fighter with longsword. - One Elf Ranger with longbow. - One Half-elf Cleric (me) with a quarterstaff. We ran through most encounters with at most one hour of combat. The combination above seemed to work pretty well. The...

    I'm an archer: why shouldn't I be a beast master ranger?

    Well I don't know. The big advantage of the bear is that it is a very strong animal. Lots of AC and HP. So you could use it as a buffer to protect you. Also you can use it for flanking. Since it is so strong it can take considerable damage and since you can't do an attack with the bear and the...

    D&D 4E Wonko's 4E Auto Character Sheet + Custom Power Cards

    Are you sure you have the needed requisites for the feats? I also thought feats were missing some time ago but then I read the PHB again and I wasn't qualified for the feats because my Dex wasn't high enough. If you don't qualify for a feat it doesn't show up in the list. Greetings,

    D&D 4E 4e Constitution - what a waste of time !

    Well I was just mentioning them because we encountered one of those in the final level of KotS that we just finished. And it did manage to get remove all my remaining healing surges since Kalarel's level was the fourth in a row without extended rest. I had to be very careful after that but...

    D&D 4E 4e Constitution - what a waste of time !

    How Close do your Minis Need to Match?

    I don't use any mini's at all. Instead I printed out small (1inch) circular monster tokens with images that I gathered from all kinds of sources representing the monsters. I printed them on a color printer and then plastified (is that the right word) them so they are sturdy and easy to manage. I...

    D&D 4E How long are your 4e combats taking, real time?

    I play KotS with my kids. I'm the DM but I also play with them as a cleric to help support them with healing and such. So together we're a team of three players. In general we need about an hour to finish an encounter. I do all the management and keeping track of things. I even keep track of...

    Healing between encounters

    Well I'm the DM of KotS right now and the players are about to enter the room where Kalarel is busy doing his stuff. At this point in the adventure I disallow extended rests since time is critical here. Kalarel is very close to completing his ritual. My players can't waste any more time here...
