    D&D 4E Ideas for my "4e No-Magic Sandbox Campaign"

    First things first, welcome to EnWorld. If you have been working on this setting for three and a half years it must be pretty detailed! Wait a minute. You have been working on using this world for three and a half years and you havn't ever thought about what story (or stories) you want to...

    What do you think about this bow?

    I would probably rate that as a level 12 or maybe 13 item, so while it is certainly powerful it is not over the top for a level 10 character. At level 10 you might expect that a character would have a +3 primary weapon, so this bow is actually an enhancement level lower with a daily effect...

    Solo, young black dragon, lurker, and level 1 parties.

    Maybe you could use something like this? Very Young Black Dragon Level 1 Solo Lurker Large Natural Beast XP 500 Initiative +7 Senses Perception +6, darkvision HP 112; Bloodied 56 AC 17; Fortitude 14, Reflex 16, Will 14 Resist 10 acid Saving Throws +5 Speed 7, fly 7 (clumsy), swim 7...

    Give me the idea, I build the monster

    Here is what an Ibixian Ranger could look like: Ibixian Ranger Level 4 Artillery Medium Natural Humanoid XP 175 Initiative +6 Senses Perception +8, darkvision HP 44; Bloodied 22 AC 16; Fortitude 16, Reflex 17, Will 15 Saving Throws +2 vs. Fear Speed 7 :bmelee: Axe Swing (Standard...

    Some Primordial Themed Monsters

    Yes it might seem like a major imposition to some people, it is certainly an unusual and unpredictable mechanic. The way I look at it is that it is a great plot hook for any characters alterred by the creature who want to return to their unaltered state. This gives the DM a solid basis for...

    Ochre Jelly

    There seems to be no actual rules for it, but the system I use is that when a creature splits the new creatures are a size catagory smaller. In this case a large sized ooze splits into 2 medium sized oozes. As AbdulAlhazred says though, there is nothing stopping you keeping the new oozes at...

    Give me the idea, I build the monster

    OMMFT here are some Ibixians for you. From the information you have provided they seem to be quite similar to Orcs but more organised and cooperative. Ibixian Warrior – level 3 skirmisher Ibixian Rager – level 5 brute Ibixian Shaman – level 5 controller Ibixian Champion – level 5 elite brute...

    Some Primordial Themed Monsters

    Here are a few creatures I recently used for your perusal. These were part of a side quest where my 6 level 18 PCs were cleaning out a research facility (the research facility had acquired some primordial matter and was experimenting with it). 1: Lash Hound – Level 20 elite skirmisher 2...

    Jiang Shi

    I figured as much, the rewording makes it nice and clear. It stands a little more chance of looking like a threat now that it is dealing standard damage. Have you considered instead of giving it 3 more damage with combat advantage, adding 5 ongoing bleeding damage (save ends) when it has...

    Jiang Shi

    I like these. I will echo Saagael's comments about Stiff body, do the creatures have resist 10 against all attacks and -2 defence against opportunity attacks or do both the resistance and the lower defences just count towards opportunity attacks? -Reading it a couple of times it looks liek...

    Death saving throw count

    Thats the way I run it, and in 18 levels with a 6 man team I have only seen one death, and it was all three failed saves in one encounter. Personally I think it is far too trivial to have the counter reset at a short rest. With the amount of healing available to them an adventuring group needs...

    Give me the idea, I build the monster

    Yeah, I think they will work quite well. Monologue could backfire slightly as it is probably not going to hit everyone, but it could be interesting as it would force the Princes allies into concentrating on the PCs who are not enraptured by the Princes preaching. Yes, it is very powerful...

    Give me the idea, I build the monster

    Quickleaf, here is a quick draft of your level 14 Evil Prince. This is probably a long way from finished, especially as I seem to remember that he is incredibly vital to your revolutionary campaign. As he is a BBEG I have made him particularly nasty, possibly too nasty, but as this is a first...

    Darkness and the Black Dragon - Need advice

    Yeah I see what you are saying, but with my version the Dragon is never hidden from the players in their own turn. So effectively it isn't hiding inside a cloud, it is using the cloud for a brief advantage. Yes I like both ideas as well. I don't think mine is actually difficult to run at the...

    Darkness and the Black Dragon - Need advice

    One of the general criticisms of the MM1 dragons is that they don't do enough damage. Given that it is a common trait of Lurkers to gain additional damage when given combat advantage it seems to be a neat solution, one which the players would not find out of place or unusual. As to the actual...

    I am always happy to lend my opinion and experience to assist with monster design. I'm glad I could help.

    DDI monster builder vs. Expected Norms

    You can import powers from previously created creatures with Asmor's, but only from your own creatures. I admit that it is a stronger case when the DDI includes all official monster powers. The thing is how often are we going to see Paragon or Epic level powers replicated on Heroic tier...

    Darkness and the Black Dragon - Need advice

    How about changing the Cloud of Darkness power to keep the menace and danger aspect while keeping the flavour of a lurker. :close:Cloud of Darkness (minor, recharge :4::5::6:) The Dragon creates a small cloud of utter darkness that disorientates its foes allowing it to gain a brief moment of...

    A Multitude of Monsters

    Ok I am going to give you my quick thoughts on some more of your creatures. I don't think I will comment on the AC or NADs or it might drive me insane. :eek: Cranium Rat Swarm I really like the idea behind this creature. I would be careful with the Mind Blast power, when using multiple...
