When you use them you get concealment from your enemies, as they are too busy rolling their eyes at you to focus correctly.

I'd consider situational initiative bonuses, like a +2 to initiative if you "readied" to attack something that appeared within the next couple of minutes.

I think they are a bit overpowered for most of the reasons other people have mentioned. Plus I think their name is just lazy. Remember in the Simpsons when they want to add a dog character to Itchy and Scratchy, and the executive basically says "name him something like 'Poochie', but not...

The redundant sentences are there because of the nature of demons. They are chaotic and also have ADD so you have to command them twice to make sure they got it.;)

How do the brawler abilities mesh with the gnoll claw fighter feat? Is that a viable build?

Dual-wielding bugs? You mean thri-kreen rangers?

There is a bug with HAE; my druid now gets NO bonus from it (13 dex, hide armor, AC 14).

A similar situation is with the infernal pact warlocks and their Hellish Rebuke. Personally I might let the player damage himself to provoke, but he would have to actually do real damage to himself; I'd say 1d4 (perhaps cutting himself with his handy-dandy pact dagger); I might make it scale...

I do the "if 50% pass then you all do" but I don't necessarily tell the players... so when everyone sneaks by the sleeping ettin and the last person rolls a 1, there is some tense moments as one of the ettin's heads wakes up and sees the noisy player.... "huh, I see a paladin..." then the other...

I thought it had something to do with a gnome's badger... the badger comes out of his lair (*rawr*), and if he sees his shadow we have 4 more weeks until the update.

I'd make the corpse act as part of loot.... say "the skin can be made into a suit of magic scale armor up to level 9 (or whatever), the teeth can be made into magic daggers..." etc. Because I'd be consciously giving this out at loot, rather than treasure, I'd let them be crafted without the...

Way back when I started playing (AD&D), my DM had a special houserule spell that we were granted occasionally as a reward: the All-Dice Fireball. It's a fireball; how much damage does it do? All the dice. Every one you can find. Every D6, D4, D8, D12, D2, D20, all the dice from the Monopoly set...

I attacked my players with 3 swarms... but it was outside and the swarms spread out to try to avoid hitting each other. They did hit each other a few times; I figured when one swarm could blast three or more people but accidentally hit another swarm, the evil little bastards would go for it...

I'd say you can teleport along with the target, but only because I think it sounds cooler, not because of any rules judgment. If I was feeling cruel, I'd say it works like a Star Trek transporter malfunction... "sure, you teleport along with the Eldritch Giant Warpcaster, but you've also...

I play a wilden swarm druid as well (still level 1), and found it to be lots of fun. Yeah, the damage-reducing ability is great, but remember that it is only vs. melee and ranged attacks, not bursts, blasts, environmental damage (e.g. falling), damaging zones, auras, etc. I built this...

Assassin mechanics, eh? That gives me the idea for a hybrid assassin-artificer!

Nope. You are not an ally of your companion, because your companion, as a conjuration, doesn't count as a separate creature. The shaman is the "source" of all the spirit companion powers and actions, so it is based on the actual shaman.

I'm looking forward to the Martial Power 2 rogue builds... I guess there is one which is super sneaky.

Maybe they think it's lava, but really it's orangeade with wasabi added to it.

This slot really needs to be filled. I would have made gnomes a con/int race, going back to their earth-spirit roots instead of being shrimpy elves. Maybe in PH3 there will be a new smart/sturdy race.
