Just made a level 9 Essential Knight (Fighter). At level 7 I get a Weapon Specialization, and it gave me Staggering Hammer. However, I equipped him with a longsword so I want to change the WS to Bladed Step. Looked everywhere but couldn't find where I change make that switch. I can swap Powers...

Does anyone know when the characters for the second book (forget the name, the ones with the Paladin Cavalier) will be available? -PJ

Me too. Printed page 1, no problem. Then tried printing page 2 on the back and instead it printed page 3 (the equipment and character details). I wanted the Feats and Features. -PJ

Healing Word card for a WarPriest is not showing the effect and special text. Where can I report this bug again? -PJ

Shroony is right... go to Marketplace, sell item, and choose Remove. -PJ

How do you delete an item from the equipment list? I only see that you can de-select an item. I made an Essential character (level 9) but wish to swap some of the magic items it chose for it. -PJ

In the Experience Point Rewards table, it reads, "To calculate the target XP for an encounter of a given level or to calculate the appropriate major quest XP reward for a given level, multiply the XP value shown on the table by the number of player characters in the party." But in the RC under...

The other night in our game an NPC fell into a moat and was trying to swim away. One of the players tried to attack him (he was on land and adjacent to the NPC). He felt that he should have gotten a bonus to his attack since it was difficult to swim and actively defend an attack. I agreed and...

The big tile with the circle rune was I believe from one of the first dungeon tiles. I know there's another thread around here where someone has posted all the images of all the dungeon sets. The walls are from Dwarven Forge. To everyone else, the suggestions are awesome! I'm going to make the...

I'm planning on running a really cool encounter involving five 9th level characters facing the new Beholder from the Monster Vault (the 9th level one). Here is a picture of the Beholder's lair. The players will enter from the spiral stairs (on the right side of the image). Other than just...

This is what I wrote down in my notes regarding success or failure: Skill Challenge: • Need six successes (before three failures) • Moderate (DC 16); Hard (DC 23) • Dungeoneering (dwarf built dungeon) • Arcana (magic key) • History (dungeon was built as a shrine) • Religion (shrine of Kord...

I really like those suggestions! I'm still a bit torn as to actually run a skill challenge encounter, or just a simple "roleplay" scene. In my notes I have two separate scenarios, and will probably decide right before the encounter happens. But I will add those "success/fail" options you guys...

In the new RC book, it mentions that to identify a rare item you need an Arcana (Hard) check. The DC level comes from the level of the character or the level of the magic item? -PJ

I think the whole "success" and "failure" is probably throwing me off. Again, according to the rules, there really is no failure, just harder for the PCs if they get 3 failures. So in my encounter, they will still go through the door, but if they got 3 failures, maybe they don't get a key piece...

Skill Challenges are probably the hardest set of new rules to understand! You are right, normally I would just roleplay the encounter, throw in a couple of DC checks as the encounter is unfolding, and call it a day. But after reading the chapter on skill challenges (pg 224 of the new DM book)...

I'm more of an improvised DM, but lately I've been listening to podcasts and reading articles on how to improve as a DM, and many mention that as a DM, you should plan out your sessions well, even if you improvise. So here is a sample encounter regarding Skill Challenge. As I'm planning this...

That's cool, thanks. We're currently using Alea markers for conditions. But will look into Litko. -PJ

Also, did they get rid of the stat card and stat skill? I really liked having those. Also the second wind and action point card seems to be missing. My players would usually hand me the cards when they use them during the game, and since we're very limited in table space, they would keep their...

That's exactly what I was gonna say too! Although I like the simplicity in the layout, it really bothers me that the stat is not on a separate line! -PJ

What is the best way to mark miniatures of the same type? For example, I have five orcs on the field, and I want to know which ones have taken hit points. But with all the conditions, effects, etc I have to keep track off, it's difficult to know which one is which. I remember seeing a special...
