    Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

    Freggo shares thoughts Freggo suggests the following ideas: Close as many doors as possible, piling noisy stones against them so we hear if anyone's moving around on this level. (Probably a Dungeoneering or Thievery check) Viator, as an Eladrin, only needs 4 hours of trance and is even aware...

    Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

    Freggo is happy and sleepy (dopey doc) When Freggo returns he runs over excitedly to his friends. "Viator, that firefly that you freed turned out to be a magical sprite! Thank you for freeing her! Look, she's offered to journey with me and tell me the epic quest that I must complete! She...

    But Freggo was going to the Hosche Station to pick up some power converters! Freggo's eyes widen and he gasps. He straightens and gazes into the future as his glorious destiny unfurls before him. He addresses the firefly with a fierce expression. "I won't fail you. I'm not afraid." ...

    Everything looks good to me. I'm glad Freggo's plan didn't work, he was planning on blowing the thing up with a melee attack. :)

    Freggo stares and shares Freggo does a double take, looking down closely at the little bug. Never taking his eyes from it, he slowly reaches into his bag and takes out some of his traveling rations. He mutely holds out a hard tasteless biscuit. Then he quietly clears his throat. "So... do...

    Freggo cheers and peers Freggo, huffing a little, smiles brightly at the little thing and applauds softly. "Oh, well done, little lightning bug. A brilliant flight indeed, thanks for the show. But if you're trying to get out, I'm afraid you're going the wrong way. However did you get mixed...

    Freggo follows the light Understood about stunts. Also - everyone can now choose to end the regeneration effect that we had going to heal 10 HP. I know it probably doesn't make a difference, but couldn't hurt. Freggo watches Viator free the firefly. "You see it too, Viator? Wow you need to...

    Freggo could have sworn he saw... "Ha haaa!" Freggo finishes burning and hacking his way out of the webs, and looks around, eager to fight the foul spider-monsters. But in the room he can see only his friends. Leaning close to Ah-Shahran he whispers, "Weren't there just... I mean... I...

    Hehe, okay, no worries. Good to know for future reference though... I'm kind of glad I can't go turning powers into close bursts at will, that would probably be too good. :)

    Fire, webs, and dead horses Goonalan I don't want to beat a dead horse, so I'm not asking for any sort of revision. I'm fine with moving on the way things are. I just wanted to ask about the resolution of Freggo's actions. In studying the map and planning Freggo's next turn, I was confused...

    It's possible that it doesn't show up the same way for all browsers or computers. However, the way it's supposed to work is: After you roll, there is a rendering of the die that you rolled on the left and the total on the right. The rendering of the die has a number in the middle of it showing...

    I've certainly been wrong before. :) I lot of my gaming has been exclusively in the heroic tier (tragically). I suspect saving throws might be more important at higher levels. I also think the amount of saving throws depends on the DM and the type of game (homebrewed vs. published). Most...

    Saving Throw Schmaving Throw I would never recommend any kind of option like something that only helps with saving throws. It's just too niche. So too anything that only helps with a Second Wind, an Action Point, and that kind of thing. The only saving throw stuff that are any good are the...

    Yay! By the way, I found the table that has object ACs. It's on page 65 of the DMG. It's also in the Compendium under "Object Properties". A possible addendum to this idea that might tone it down is varying degrees of success depending on how well Freggo does on the Arcana check. Like maybe...

    Freggo's magic time Well magic, I'm stuck in a web and I just want to find my bed. I'm going to try something new here, and I expect you to cooperate. It's that old blocking spell I learned about... now how does it go... Freggo begins muttering quietly with his eyes closed, but each word is...

    A convincing argument (he says hopefully) Well, yeah, of course an empty square! :) So the first issue is whether an attack power can be used in a not-strictly-attacky fashion. The justification for such a thing is that the powers that all 4E characters have are just the exact way that they...

    Now there's a spider next to me! Great! So, assuming that Gorn accedes to Freggo's request, can I attack the vacated webby square (G:12) and do fiery splash damage to the spider (along with burning any adjacent unoccupied webby squares)? I know I could attack the spider directly, but it...

    Freggo talks to a dog Freggo addresses Gorn with great sincerity and respect. "Your pardon, Gorn the magic dog, but I'd very much like to create magical fire in the spot where you're standing to clean things up around here. Do you think you might relocate yourself for the moment?"

    Praise and a fiery question Wow, that's greatness! Makes me nostalgic for those first fights, good times those! In any case, I heartily approve of the write-up! I might express concern at the level of detail... how ever will you make it through if each round is a page? Of course, if you're...

    Good points all. I wasn't saying we should ACTUALLY have a surprise round every combat. Just geeky bit of game rules pondering. :)
