    CB error or am I missing something?

    Sorry for the thread necromancy, but I am trying to add a second monk unarmed strike and can't figure out how to do this. The inventory tab doesn't allow me to change quantities, except to lower them by removing items, and the marketplace searching doesn't list a monk unarmed strike to add...

    Two-Handed Weapon Expertise reads as follows: Benefit: You gain a +1 feat bonus to weapon attack rolls you make with a two-handed melee weapon. In addition, you gain a +1 bonus to the damage rolls of charge attacks you make with a two-handed melee weapon. Both of these bonuses increase to +2 at...

    How exactly does variable resistance work?

    I treat it as an immediate interrupt as well, or else minions like the Mane from the Demonomicon would get zero benefit from it.

    Teleportation at level 1

    I would normally have the prison guards gouge the eyes out of prisoners, or perhaps just kill them immediately. If the players complain that I am being unfair, I would just say, “I didn’t tell you to play <<insert teleporting race / class here>>” and move on. :)

    Stacking AC bonuses?

    Of course, beware the DM that occasionally throws a monster that targets Reflex as their basic attack (e.g., Cave Roper). I did that to the Artful Dodger rogue in my campaign and he was gave me a look that I still treasure to this day. :)

    Does the term "a creature" include yourself?

    Also, from the RC on page 20 Key Terms Creature: A being in the game world. Both adventurers and monsters are creatures.

    variable resistance

    I have always treated variable resistance as an interrupt, and since it appears on Minion Demons (e.g., Mane), if it is not treated as an interrupt it has absolutley no use for them.

    D&D 4E In 4e, why do you play the Race/Class you play?

    Almost always a DM, but one of players started to DM as well so I finally got to play. Made a dwarf fighter multiclass cleric because it looked interesting and the rest of the players thought fighters were boring (3.5e hangover). Has proved to be very interesting to play and once I hit 8th...

    Expertise

    In my campaign, I wanted to add Ari's wound system from the Advanced Players Guide (BTW, this is the best wound system I have seen, simple and effective). The players and I agreed that we would use the wound system and the players would get a free feat as a balance measure. Then the expertise...

    Monster Builder Update Online

    I have noticed something really odd. If I take any official creature with additional speeds (fly, climb, etc) and make a copy to edit, all the speeds change in the viewer (left section). Most go to zero. In the middle editing section the numbers are correct, but if I put in any number, the...

    Did Monster Builder not update yet?

    Just noticed that bloodied HPs in the builder now are 1/2 HPs rounded up. Minor inconvenience, but thought I would share.

    Did Monster Builder not update yet?

    Weird, I was looking at the compendium about 15 mins ago and MM3 monsters were included in new format, but all the older monsters were old format. Now MM3 monsters don't appear to be in the compendium anymore. Confused...

    Lolth!

    FWIW, when the mechanics of being a "deity" were first introduced in the Draconomicon: Chromatic Dragons, it said the following in the sidebar: From pg 244 Deities always roll saving throws in response to an attack or effect that imposes a condition or deals ongoing damage, even if that effect...

    D&D 4E New players, new to 4e, 14th-level campaign

    You could work with them and develop a PC using the companion rules from the DMG II and then after a couple session, augment the companion to a full PC.
