Just wondering how other dm's set up their skill challenges. Do you come out and tell your players that it is indeed a skill challenge? Do you give them hints, or do you let them figure it out for themselves? I threw some high lvl npc's in the path of my players and it was supposed to be a SC...

We had a TPK our first night in 4e due to our party being not used to powers, action point usage, and just not sticking together. Our Dm gave us a break the first time and had the local town guard luckily show up on a patrol and rescue us. Since then we did some researching and played more...

ya thanks alot. I used to Dm and so I try to help him out whenever I can. The encounter is over and he just decided to not use the ability due to the confusion. He and I were just wondering how to interpret it. If he ever runs into it again he will know now. Thanks again.

from what ive looked at so far, i was going for a front line defender that could effectively heal myself in a pinch, buff myself or others around me, and make damage my least concern. I really didn't see that type of play in the str route. The research i did also seemed to point me in the...

Im lookin down the road atm, looks like a mixture of close burst, range, and melee attacks being charisma based. I guess ill just avoid the range stuff and be more aware of the class range possibilities. I just wasn't expecting to wear plate, carry a shield and have range abilities. I just...

I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed to range. I just was wondering why 2 out of the 3 lvl 1 dailies are range attacks. Im playing a defender role in my group and we have our range ppl already. My range attacks take a huge tax on the "to hit" part of it not to mention the OA I give up...

My dm is runing us through H1 campaign. We are currently deep into the shadowfell keep. We ran into a lvl 5 orcus underpriest and his minions. The Dm was having a hard time interperting "blessing of orcus" which gives of a aura 10 "death attack" How it looked was that any of his minions...

I guess having the option to have a range can be useful at times, but i'm having a hard time understanding wtf wotc was thinking giving front line fighting pally's implement range dailies. My pally is a front line defender and I went with radiant delirium since it was charisma based and had...

anyone know a specific page # on the rules of stacking -'s I found page 275 in phb1 but the rules are a bit vauge, any other page info would be helpful.

where can you take a look at this maptools?

thanks for the insight guys, the various opinions all helped!!

i havent seen anything like that but if i do ill bring this post back up.

sounds like a yes to me. if he shifts OA. If he attacks a differant target than you, OA.

Heh...that's what i was trying to explain to my dm last night that the gold jump for high level items is crazy. Glad to see im not crazy.

how do any dm's treat this? Do you restrict players from buying a item that has a higher level then the players? I understand about the balancing of the game and not breaking the game with one OP item. Example is a group of 5 lvl 2's wanting to buy either one cloak of distortion or one...

the druid hasnt taken it but was wondering what it would be useful for if he decided to retrain for it at next level. i couldnt tell him anything beyond "it may help you escape something or our party. If he cast it on our party to help take cover from ranged attacks, wouldnt that effect our...

We have a druid in our party and he is not seeing the benefit or potential penalties for casting obsucuring mist on our party at certian times. Any druids have the insigt on the pros and possible cons of casting it?? Thanks!!

lol thanks.....question 3 i must of missed the +2 to swift charge. I thought i read somewhere the swift charge allowed you to go 8 squares. My bad thanks for the answers though.

Well sorry if these are dumb questions. After much reading in the 4.0 books i cannot come up with what the rule is on these. Any help is appreciated. 1.) do casting attacks / spells go off a range attack? For instance we ran into some goblins that gave us a -2 to our range attacks due to...
