    Nontraditional Warlord Concepts

    This one works best with a female halfling. "The Brat": Whines, moans, bitches or complains until she gets others to do what she wants. "If you don't move there I'll SCREAM!" "If you loved me you would hit that guy!" Healing surges would be triggered by belittling the ally, "You suck at life...

    Fleshing out Keep on the Shadowfell/Winterhaven

    I'm starting here as well after I have the party trained up from level 0 by the "Order of Lost Gods." This is a religious faction that is obsessed with attempting to keep a balance to the influence Gods have on the mortal realm. Since the Lawful and Good Gods tend not to upset things unduly the...

    Drinking a potion is a minor action?

    This is exactly how Mearls ran it when I was lucky enough to play a dungeon crawl he DM'ed. I remember it vivdly becuase it was so different to see a move, a mark getting dropped and then the charge.

    D&D 4E Notes from the 4E Corebooks: Alignment, Monsters, Artifacts and More

    I love this idea. In the campaign I'm playing in now three of us have weapons that are scaling like this. The Sun Sword and Amulet of Ravenkind from Ravenloft are two great examples based this on. I liken it to Elric's swords or Gotrick's Axe. They have always had them and just learn to access...

    D&D 4E Signature Voices for the 4ed books

    I love Eve Miles reading the elf and it got me thinking all British-y. Gnomes: Ricky Gervais (might as well read the MM too.) Eladrin: Patrick Stewart (Fey Step...engage!) Dwarf: James Nesbitt (using the Mr Hyde voice) Teifling: Dame Judy Dench (If she can handle Bond and Riddick an infernal...

    Players reading the MM

    For some reason monsters are attracted to that player's character. We call this tastiness. Some characters have a much higher tastiness then any other stat on their sheet.

    Epic quests that don't involve saving the world?

    My Dragonborn Warlord will only be happy when he reunites ALL of his kin and forces Bahumat or Tiamat to make them actual Dragons! HA! I love this one.

    How to explain Monsters new abilities to the PCs

    I have GMed before in World of Darkness but am stepping into the DM shoes for the first time in 4e. While talking to my current DM today we got into a bit of an argument about how to explain a monsters abilities to the characters. I have run two 4e lite adventures, Oakhurst and Second Son with...

    So, what are the uses for forced movement?

    2) Force them to surround the Paladin giving him that +1 per adjacent enemy. 3) set up the perfect force orb blast.

    D&D 4E New 4e Info! GAMA Tradeshow Scoop

    I would describe it as a channel between you and the target being opened up. Your ally make actually takes the hit but through an empathic divine energy bond you absorb all of the damage and effects of it. Think Raven in the Teen Titans comics. She was a healer who had to absorb the damage and...

    Amazon and Preordering

    Living on Long island I have found that if I take the standard shipping I get my product in 2 days. My ship dates are on the 6th for the core books and on the 20th for H!. Maybe the later dates have to do with when you ordered and how many books they project to receive on that date. I ordered on...

    D&D 3E/3.5 4E Ruined My Love For 3.5

    Oh Gods yes!! I played with Mearls as my DM at I-Con and have DMed 3 previews since for some of the guys in our regular group. Those that have played "4e-lite" are constantly wishing for a minor action or an action point! I am playing an archer build right now in 3.5 who just dinged 15. While...

    D&D 4E Suggestions for building 4e adventures

    THis doesn't need to be overpowered or overly difficult to me. The first ones in the encounter could be minions. If the party is blowing their encounter powers on them they aren't playing smart at all. Also remember the entire thing could be planned at the "xp budget" of an encounter. I think...
