    Auras and Player Knowledge

    There's a rule that creatures(which would include the PCs to me) always know what effects are on them, unless something says something else. I'd certainly say they'd know they can't regain hit points. If you want to screw with them a bit, make it a knowledge check for them to know WHY they...

    Solos with just 3 Players

    The other thing you might look at doing is to either drop the monster down in levels till the exp is closer to right, or change it to an elite, and up it some levels so the exp is closer to right.

    How Close is D&D Encounters to you?

    Theres one I go to about a 10 minute drive, and that's the only one in the county(and it takes about an hour to get out of the county). It had a high of 2 tables for a couple of weeks, and now has dropped down to the minimum 4, but I figure most of that is due to summer vacationing.

    D&D Encounters - Season 2/#5 request

    Heya. It seems I'm doing this weeks Encounters game for the local store. However, I pointedly didn't look at the monsters last week(since I wasn't planning on running today). Can someone PM me the list of what monsters are in the encounter so I can bring the appropriate minis? thanks!

    Why arn't Controllers Sexy

    Rather than reminding them at the beginning, tell them "Too bad no one was next to my spirit, they'd have gotten X, too." when they've scattered to the four winds. And remember as well that you can put the spirit on top of a medium monster and have everyone in melee still be adjacent.

    Runepriest in Action?

    I love the flavor of the class as well, and have a great time playing him. But it's a bit rough as the only leader in a party of 6, since the runepriest has the worst healing ability of any of the leaders. On the bright side, they do give out a ton of bonuses to defenses(if you want to go that...

    Brew potions without brew potions

    Other than what listed above. Also, there is no restriction saying you have to be trained in the key skill to use a ritual. While there are definite drawbacks to not being trained if it requires a roll (Wis dump stat characters untrained in Heal using Remove Affliction? *shudder*), if there's...

    Thrown Weapon Seeker with nothing to throw...

    For the thrown weapon seeker I'm working on, I think i'm going to go Bolo Training. +4 bonus to hit, and the ability to not deal damage and immobilize? And still get all the other effects of the power? Sounds good to me. :)

    Timing of Flurry of Blows

    So, please tell me if I'm thinking of this completely wrong. The trigger on the Monk's Flurry of Blows(a free action), is "You hit a target." Since it's a free action, doesn't that mean you'd resolve the flurry of blows before actually resolving the rest of the hit? A concrete example: You...

    Does the shardmind seem overpowered?

    So we can expect the Scissorlimb race for PHB4?

    There's something about Runepriests.

    The rune priest is, bar none, the worst healer in the game right now. Compared to the cleric whose the best. They also do very little damage(I think only 1 of their encounter powers does even 2W, but I could be wrong). But their riders, and that constant buff depending on stance, make them...

    D&D Encounters: What are you rolling up?

    I don't know.. a warforged warlock (pick a con build) might be fun. I plan on bringing 4 chars, one of each role. I'm currently thinking a Human Centering Breath Monk, a Longtooth Shifter thrown-weapon Seeker, a tiefling Tactical Warlord and a Dragonborn Paladin of Kord(or an FR god if I can...

    Skill Powers and Power Creep

    Remember as well that unless it says otherwise, a power lasts a maximum of 5 minutes. So you can't use it before an extended rest and get 2 "uses" out of it.

    Brawler Style "Empty Hand" Definition

    I was flipping through something, and gnoll claw fighter basically says you always have a claw in your "free" hand, so you'd never qualify if you took the feat. I wish I could remember where I saw that, though, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt.

    PHB3 In Hand...

    Some runepriest powers have the Runic keyword. Before you use them, you pick a rune state(destruction or protection), and then your in that state until just before you use another Runic power. The runic powers seem to be their Rune of Healing(or whatever it's called), the at-wills and the...

    Next Adventure Path?

    This sounds like a great idea.

    What's the best guide to good hybrid choices?

    Yes, it is. There isn't anything specific about throwing something in one hand and then switching to a two-handed melee weapon for the second half of the power. However, the rule for fighter powers that require one hand free makes a strong case you aren't intended to do that(If the power...

    Beast companion for my warden?

    Rather than change your class, you might see if the GM will let you work him out as a Companion character, from DMG2. Unless you wanted to have your attacks and such use the fact that your wolf buddy is around(in which case, yeah, see about hybridizing with ranger).

    The New Red-Box...

    Basically, they're a set of Dungeon Tiles that have the basic pieces you always need, usually in quantity. And they won't be going out of print like the other sets to.
