2x12, 1x17, 3x15, 1x41(me). One of the 15 is the strong-willed player. Add in some extra impulsiveness to a couple of them, and some extra shyness to another, and you have my group.

Absolutely perfect example. That may have happened to me, ummm, maybe once or twice. :lol: ::chuckle:: Which is *exactly* why I relate to well to D'karr's example. We also have the "below the knee" rule. If it's below the knee, I usually don't see it. From this, I easily see how a passive...

The reason I created the power cards was because during combat, several of the players kept forgetting to use a power or feat they had. There were also a couple of times they tried to reuse an encounter or daily power they already burned, or spent time going through their sheet looking for a...

Thanks! It is tight, which is why I used the abbreviations and symbols for things like implement or melee. Good suggestion on the color-for-alignment, although I wonder if there would be too many alignments to easily represent in colors. Regarding the side bar: I know that takes up space, so I...

I may be missing some fundamental concept with Passive vs non-Passive Perception and Insight checks. Passive checks are 10+modifiers, where active checks are d20+modifiers? If true, this leads to the odd scenario where active checks can score lower than passive checks. I'm currently going with...

We finished another session a few hours ago. I thought I'd report in due to all the great help you're giving me. Believe me when I say that it's mental comfort to have your support. I'm not sweating combat near as much as before my first post, and made some Monster Cards that should help. I do...

Wow! Great comments and suggestions. Thanks. This is a long reply, but there's a lot of good content in this thread. LOL. Quite apropos. I was summarizing what had happened to a few of the characters based on a short introduction game with my kids. This group decided to pick up from there...

This thread has gone a long way in confirming my blast/burst thoughts, although the line-of-sight string-checks (corners to corners) seems like it's going against 4e's "keep it simple" mantra. One thing that keeps me puzzled is the use of "close blast". From this thread, I take it that "close"...

Enclosed are a few of the cards I've made. I started making cards with photos, using the images that LordThanatos used , but I didn't like how much of the card was used for the image (and I'd have a problem getting images for all the powers). Still, I enclosed one just to show what it was...

On the insistence of my kids and their friends, we started gaming last weekend. The intent was to do the Raiders of Oakhurst, but they started a fight in my introduction. There are 7 players and were 10 combatants. One player is a diehard 3.5 player and told me "d&d is all about combat" (he's...

Ah, of course. We all focused on the "per round", not the "+". That makes *SO* much more sense. I read somewhere that this may be true if the healing check rolls a 20, based on DDM rules. Have you heard something concrete that any successful heal check triggers the second wind? I'm thinking I...

First, a huge "thank you" to Verys Arkon for the Pre-Release Compilation . This has turned me from being mildly interested in 4E to starting a campaign with my kids and their friends (they kept asking). Apparently others agree, since this has now become a sticky thread (WooHoo!). We had our...

Hello, all! I've played D&D since the red box, although my time since around 1991 has been limited to online games and once or twice a year table games with old friends. My kids are now old enough to play and have been asking me relentlessly to start a campaign. 4E and the information on...
