    ASoIaF RPG - A Tourney of Gulls [Recruiting]

    A few questions: What status should Pate be? I figure it's 1 or 2, but figuring the difference between those two is eluding me at the moment. Would the guards be mounted? If so, on what? I figure, in the Vale of Arryn, only the knights would really get much, if any, training on horseback...

    ASoIaF RPG - A Tourney of Gulls [Recruiting]

    I just picked up ASoIaFRPG this weekend and it looks really great. While your thread title says you are recruiting, I read over your threads and saw that you guys have started already. Could I play? I would be perfectly happy playing an as-of-yet unnamed guardsman (I'm thinking Sleepy Pate...

    Regarding some Fighter's powers and feats.

    I think you would only push him 2 and then shift 1 into the square he vacated. Unstoppable advance and Tide of Iron don't say anything about adding to existing pushes, so they won't stack. In this case, you would still just Push the target 2 squares and shift 1 into the square he vacated. It...

    Why did you stop subscribing to DDI?

    Like many, they lost me when they stopped supporting the off-line builder and the on-line builder proved glacially slow in comparison. That said, I let my brother borrow my essentials books, but recently needed to build an essentials slayer, so I bought a 1-month subscription to see if the CB...

    Polearm Feats

    Heroic: Hafted Defense (+1 AC and Reflex with a Polearm) Polearm Momentum (Fighter Feat; Knock opponent prone if you push/slide 2 or more with a polearm) There's another one (name I can't remember) that lets you flank from reach with a polearm. And yet another one (name I can't remember) that...

    In Remembrance--2011

    Royal Marshall, engineer and sidekick on the nationally syndicated talk show, "The Neal Bortz Show" for 17 years, passed away this morning. He was 43 years old. He was also the host of his own radio show, "The Royal Treatment," and occasionally performed in local Atlanta comedy clubs as a...

    Ampersand: 2011 releases officially gutted

    If I ran the zoo this would probably be the business model: D&D Core: DMGs (maybe just one or two, as many as 3 ever), PHBs (the place to introduce new races and classes. They would need to be functional without anything other than PHB material for off-line players.), dungeon tiles, minis...

    What non-"essential" characters do you play?

    Forgotten Realms: Aniz el-Turath, Tiefling Hybrid Paladin/Barbarian (PP: Turathi Highborn) He is from the Turath tribe of the Bedine. The leaders of his tribe have always manifested as tieflings due to an ancient pact the first cheiftan of his tribe, Bael Turath, made. His tribe was destroyed...

    The biggest issue with the new Character Builder:

    I feel like the new CB is MUCH slower than the original. I admit, maybe that's just my perception based on how annoyed I am at losing out on the ability to share an account with my gaming group, keep my subscription in order to have access to the builder, use the builder while on break at work...

    D&D 4E Help me understand 4e

    I'm going to address a couple of things from your post as best I can: First of all, could you explain more what you mean by "Time Bubble" encounters? Is it the fact you have to transition from general narration to initiative-order actions that creates this time bubble phenomenon for you? 3rd...

    [M+M] Amalgam Campaign Ideas-need help!

    Me and a couple friends will be running a short Mutants and Masterminds game inspired by the Marvel/DC Amalgam comics imprint of the 90s. Basically, we will each be taking 1 hero from Marvel and 1 from DC, mixing them together to taste, and taking turns running team-up scenarios while the third...

    Use New monster format for Character builder output

    This is the sheet I use for my PCs. It doesn't do anything fancy automatically, but the format is nice because all of the math is done for me, including common eventualities, like what happens when the foe is bloodied, I'm raging, or when I crit. Notice that I don't list my feats, or even all...

    Help! My party has no healer!

    This has been specifically disallowed from working, as Fight On has the prerequisite of "Inspiring Word as an Encounter Power." I believe this is from two or three updates ago.

    Brawler Style and Spiked Gauntlets

    I posted this rules question over at the other message board I frequent this morning, but I didn't get as complete or authoritative an answer as I'd like: I was tinkering with a Warforged Brawler and a question occured to me: If my fighter with the Brawler Style Talent fights with 2 spiked...

    Best Healer?

    I know you're stuck with Cleric, but for anyone else who comes here with a similar question: Go Bard. Take every bard healing power you can get you hands on. The Hit Point Pinata daily power at level 1 (and later another at 9) are especially good in boss fights so your strikes, some of which...

    Hybrid Warlock/Swordmage

    Something to consider: Go with Con/Int (start with them both at LEAST 16) but then be an ASSAULT swordmage anyway. Make sure you pick up Eldritch Strike as one of your at-wills. That way, whenever you Aegis and Curse someone, and they attack someone else, you get to use your Eldritch Strike as...

    Mark Questions...

    I think you guys missed the point of the question. If you are a hybrid Paladin/Battlemind, you can use divine challenge to mark an opponent. That opponent attacks someone who isn't you, so it takes divine challenge damage automatically. Since the target of Mind Spike is an enemy marked by...

    Invigorating Assault: Can my party always start the fight with temp hp?

    Nope. You simply say, "The calisthenics have reinvigorated you, (reconditioning your muscles, focusing your mind, opening up you soul to inspiration, depending on power source), counting as a short-rest. Would you like to spend any healing surges?" Certain levels of meta-gaming are silly. In...
