Oh, and you're using stats for a 30th level ranger. For Orcus to be a "hard" encounter, he should be 3-4 levels above the "party" level. Thus, per the DMG the ranger should only be 26 - 27 level for soloing this to be a hard encounter. Does that make a difference in the math? Having a 30th...

Haven't read the books. . . but didn't somebody mention Orcus having a blast 6 area attack or something? Even targeting it randomly he'll tag the ranger with it eventually, ending his invisibility long before he gets smoked. If the ranger is in melee orcus can just drop it on himself - game over.

Builds in 4E All or nearly all of the various "missing builds" for 3E are still going to be available in 4E. The first PH drastically pared down options compared to the 3E PH, but as some have pointed out, many of those 3E options were worthless. 4E will release the "good" options in future...

Even though I'm a big fighter player, I think this is fine. Reinforces paladins as the knight in shining armor type, while fighters are the more gritty, in your face type. IMO it serves to add a little bit of flavor distinction to classes that before were a fighter, and a fighter that casts...

I'll add another vote for the Black Company Campaign Setting by Green Ronin. Its gritty, combat is brutal. Magic can be extremely powerful, but it is concentrated in the hands of a very few people, so there is not much magic proliferation at all. On top of this, there's an excellent series of...

Hey. . . PC's NEED a lot of cash to support their drug habits, hollywood lifestyles, expensive hookers, and lavish vegas parties! :) Seriously though. . . the PCs are supposed to be the rock stars of the D&D world. That means rolling in dough. Like most good rock stars they will fritter away...

If you're attacking 121 creatures you ought to be minions if the DM is doing is job. Just roll them in batches of 10. . . they're minions after all. They're going to get reduced to just a handful of guys in short order by a competent wizard. Try handling 121 combatants of approximately equal...

Nice. LOL!

Touche'.

Don't be a close minded hater Derren!

Celebrim - re: not needing rules to roleplay. Your comment has ZERO to do with the topic at hand. Please refer to my sig as it defnitely applies here. To recap since you are apparently incapable of reading threads and choose just to regurgitate tired objections to 4e. Let me break this...

If our group finds it fun, it will be worth the effort. If not, then it wasn't. That simple. The idea of "if its not 'roleplaying' its not worth it" it ridiculous. This idea is rendered even more silly given that looking through the module I saw all kinds of roleplaying opportunities for...

So how exactly does vorpal work?

While to some extent I agree with Hong. . . this post is just too hilarious to ignore. Consider it sigged!

Interesting you should mention that. I'm going to be running Keep on the Borderlands for my 1st 4E game. We will see how it goes!

*whew* Another "crisis" averted!

I liked it better when you played a ranger because you got 2 hit dice, and therefore DOUBLE your Con bonus at 1st level! :) Be that as it may, for whatever reason Rangers are now the designated 2Wfers of D&D. I expect that will be reflected in the 4E ranger class. Later we will see a...

I kinda like the idea of people floating around adventuring as a spirit. I don't know if anybody remembers the old Phantasie games where if your party died, some of them would come back as undead. Always thought that was cool. Never really was happy with any of the ways I tried implementing...

I like the 1st edition Bard. A fighter/rogue blend with a dash of magic and the ability to inspire and entertain through song. Truth be told, I don't even care about that last bit. LOL!!
