Maybe it means I have to give up my aspirations for the title "powergamer", but I don't think Weapon Expertise is a must have feat. Currently, I'm playing a dragonborn fighter (with halberd). Sure, a bonus to hit is nice, but I seem to hit plenty. And already I've got more feats I want than...

I've seen two players brought back into the hobby via 4E this weekend. They played RPGs before, and I think one had some 3E experience, but neither has really played in the last six years. The first joined our Friday and Saturday games. Since he was coming into ongoing campaigns, I helped him...

We had a new player joined, and he brought in a 14th level paladin/champion of order. Certain Justice changed a tough fight against a solo into a considerably easier one until I was able to get the solo away long enough to break the paladin's mark. Subsequent fights against elite monsters were...

Thank you. I was going blind trying to read the earlier pics of this one. It does look interesting; I look forward to seeing it in play.

The wizard in my campaign proved to be a very handy asset. The party was also glad to have had a cleric along. As Matthew said, it's very Gygaxian. There are blocks of related monsters (where sometimes the relationship is they didn't fit with any other group), but it allows a variety of...

I recently got a laptop, which has changed how I DM my homebrew game. I build up encounters ahead of time on the encounter builder (actually used it on the fly when I was unprepared one game night). When the encounter starts, I open up the compendium and put each monster's stats in a new window...

Good luck to David and the rest, and thanks for all you've contributed to my games.

I've seen Hellfire blood turn infernal into a pretty potent choice. It's also been very handy in my fire-based wizard. As has been said, tieflings make good warlords, however you want to do it. My tactical warlord is still able to get good bonuses on charisma based powers. The new resourceful...

That pic just shows how Anime D&D art is. ...sorry, wrong thread.

True. Its own damage has been pretty poor in my game. However, the rogue loves it.

However, the Sword targets Reflex, while Spiritual Weapon is attacking AC. One of the clerics I DM for will tell you that makes all the difference.

Hey, it's not often I get to say you're wrong on something, as I did have barbarian rage continue for the duration, but canceled a fighter's stance when he was knocked out at my last game. However, my decision was based on being sure that I'd read that stances ended when the character was...

I ran into a lack of imagination running Thunderspire two weeks ago. One of the skill checks has laid out the suitable skills and the DCs. We come to the rogue, finds his choice of skills is a bit lacking for this particular challenge. "Thievery?" he asks. "Nope. You can't pick their pockets...

My first group was still at 4th when they hit the Duregar Keep (and died before an extended rest would have bumped them to 5th). Five characters in the group, and I'd let them roll stats, which might have provided them an extra edge. A cleric, a warlord, a warlock, a paladin, and a wizard. I...

Congrats!

No deaths. The warlord spent a lot of the second half of the fight hurt or down (he charged the dragon shaman when it appeared, taking the opportunity attacks from the two dragon shields). The paladin was dying for the last round or two, but he'd been the only one in melee with Irontooth most of...

In no particular order: 1. Against the Cult of the Reptile God; first adventure I purchased. 2. Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh; I've run this in 1E, 2E, and 3E and am thinking about converting it to 4E 3. Dragon Crown- Epic Darksun adventure to find out what is going wrong with psionics. 4. Lost...

For tieflings, go check out Desert of Desolation; there's two uncommon tieflings in that set. Dungeon of Dread also had an uncommon tiefling. Doesn't help with the dragonborn, though. Overall, it looks like a good selection to me. I'll probably order a case, and grab the rest that I want on ebay.

Sounds like something out of Knights of the Dinner Table. Besides making some forums less enjoyable, I'm unaffected. My group has wholeheartedly embraced 4E and I'm looking forward to running it.

Liking it so far. Bump.
