Then what about a flaming sphere or guardian of faith? Plus, allowing conjurations to provide flanks takes away a core advantage of summoned creatures. Another reason why it shouldnt work, the new storm pillar at will for the wizard in Arcane power. Who needs a fighter to risk an opportunity...

Quick summery on the rules for flanking, summoned creatures, and conjurations: To flank you and an ally must be on opposit sides, etc. and must both be able to attack the target. Summoned creatures state specifically: (PHB 2 page 221) Conjurations make no claim (PHB 2 page 220) Onyx Dog uses...

Maybe I am missing something, but why is this feet in question?

Can you have such an encounter? I simply think there may not be enough healing. Each PC gets a second wind, maybe the fighter has a power or two to let him spend a HS depending on the fighters level, and then you have a leader who can do a minimum of two per encounter, and then a few more as...

Doesnt the DMG state something about for a scarce magic item game a DM can simply substitute the need for magic items by giving the PCs a bonus to their AC, defenses, attack, damage, etc. by 1 at every tier and half-tier? That way you can have magic items be about their properties and powers...

Actually, you cant. An improvised one handed weapon weighs 1-5 lb. An improvised two handed weapon weighs 6-12 lb. Interesting enough, a spiked shield weighs 7 lb, a light shield weighs 6, and a heavy shield weighs 10. Therefor no shield qualifies as an improvised one handed weapon and you...

Because I used the Keep on the Shadowfell adventure hook my PCs went to the trading post as soon as they got to the seven pillared hall. After the trading post but before they investigated the horned hold they went to the chamber of the eyes per the tip from Rendil. I used that time they were...

Its not about whether or not the marked condition applies, its whether or not combat challenge, divine challenge, etc. work with a mark applied by means other than a use of the divine challenge power, or a mark made by the fighters themselves.

Do you have a link?

Would the property and power for quickhit bracerswork with a single attack from a double weapon (ie not one attack with the main head and then the other head)? What about with an arcane power delivered through a staff by character with the staff fighting feat*? *Do note that the intent now...

If you do, do note that you are giving an unfair advantage to the PCs in light armor. They are boosting their primary and secondary stats every chance they get and odds are those stats directly affect their AC. So while PCs in heavy armor must rely only on the enhancement bonus of the armor...

Q: What happens if I fall into lava? A: If you fall into lava you die. No save. Q: Don't I get a saving throw? A: If you fall into lava, you die. No save. Fire and Brimstone! Lava Rules For Your Game

They also get bonuses to saving throws

How about a heavy thrown or light thrown (depending on your flavor) stake that as a free action turns any damage resulting from hitting a vampire into radiant damage? Maybe with a daily that allows you to deal ongoing radiant damage in various amounts depending on the level of the item.

The DMG says that combat should take about an hour per encounter. So if people arent having approximately hour long combats, then there needs to be an errata because they obviously didnt calculate it properly. If I know that I am going to be running a 5 hour session, the DMG tells me that I...

I am actually surprised that people have combats lasting more then an hour. Beyond small delv like adventures I have run two campaigns. One was SOW with 6 PCs and the other is KOTS and TS with 5 PCs, and unless its a boss fight, all of the fights pretty much take an hour or less. We arent...

How many people are you playing with, 20? A normal encounter (level+0) will take my group about 45 min to an hour. Boss fights (level+3 and up) can take anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half. And yes I have timed it. The DMG even says tha combat time should be about an hour on average...

If they could, they would, but they cant, so I dont get your example.

As long as the PCs have a reasonable chance to hit, the ogre wont kill them in two hits, and you can keep the longer then usual life span of the ogre interesting, it should be fine.

Its a good thing. FOr the rest of your question ask your DM.
