This is an insult to all Pokemon everywhere. B-) I saw that B&N had some AtG boosters set out today, and I had a 15% off coupon that was to expire soon, so I foolishly grabbed 3 just to try my luck one last time. Now I have x4 Efreeti Flamestriders, Blackroot Treants, Shadow Hulks, and Mighty...

Ok, so I received 4 cases of AtG today and here's what I pulled: Yellow = Rare Red = Uncommon x1 - Boneclaw Impaler - Death Titan - Dragonborn Myrmidon - Fire Titan - Furious Owlbear - Skullcleave Warrior - Storm Giant - Thunderblast Cyclone - Tomebound Arcanist x2 - Hellwasp x3 -...

A buddy of mine is playing one of those and it is nasty. Encounter/Daily + Sneak Attack + Predatory Eye + Large Dagger = ouch!

Correct. Shields get special abilities, but no enhancement bonus anymore.

I could do without the clever name-changing in the quotes, too. Giskard, I have a recommendation for you. When you go to your next RPGA marathon session, ask if everyone there can agree to a pact, fellowship, or written contract. Start it off something like this: We, the undersigned, while...

First person to stat out a hungry zombie with an infectious bite complete with zombification disease stats wins the thread.

My monsters won't specifically go after the defenders, unless of course they have a choice power that targets a suspected weaker defense score and/or can control the defender in some useful way. Of course when the defenders are doing their job they're getting in the way of monsters going...

The spirit of the game is whatever we wish. The spirit of my game is FUN. If you're having fun, who is anyone else to tell you you're "doing it wrong?" You have that authority? I'm wholeheartedly enjoying it so far. Dragonborns being added to D&D somehow makes it more like a Micheal Bay...

Great link. As for the jumping rules, they seem simple and effective. I've yet to have anyone try something crazy let alone do much jumping at all - the rogue has tried an Acrobatic Stunt to push off a wall and flip over a goblin but that's as close to a dynamic leap as I've seen in-game...

If a PC makes a suitable Knowledge check they get to know quite a bit about a monster, certainly enough to know it's a minion - things like name, type, and their powers. The DCs are rather easy to pass as long as your PCs have training in the right skill for the enemy they're facing. Beyond...

This topic has been beaten to death, but who gives a flying **** about it, really? They're not reptiles, or lizards, or monotremes, or whatever. They're anthropomorphic dragon guys who kick ass. Dragonborn are a created race. They were created with boobies, vajayjays, and peenees. They breath...

I have 4 cases of AtG minis on their way to me right now (will get here Monday). I payed like $335 and change, which is a great deal (gameoutfitter.com). If I don't get at least ONE dragonborn I'm gonna be PISSED! I understand your pain, but I have this slight love of gambling and suboptimal...

No, just because the paladin marked someone it does not mean they are subject to Divine Challenge. Only when the paladin uses DC itself is the target exposed to it - if he marks an enemy some other way they are marked and that's it.

I'm not aware of anything stating definite sizes for the gargantuan creatures in the MM, just that they start at 4x4 and have no upper limit. Make your Tarrasque 5 or 6 squares across, maybe even 7. Whatever pleases your black heart. >: )

Now I want to make a kobold PC named Squinty.

You obviously didn't read the article: "This article... is the first in a new semi-regular feature in Dragon." I have seen more than one poster on this forum and the Gleemax boards state their desire to proofread WotC products before release, or even pay a fee for access to incomplete...

Oh snap! Another leader, and it looks like fun. : ) And I must say, I love the implications of the "What's a Playtest Article" sidebar. While people won't be able to go over everything the final Artificer has to offer this is an opportunity to catch any bugs! *EDIT* Speaking of which, page 1...

The low-level monsters won't fall prey to the more nefarious minon-slaying tricks floating around but they will die if the PCs so much as glare at them. You could do the same thing with minions but have better defenses and bonuses to hit, right? Anyway I'm not seeing the issue. I thnk it's...

This. My favorite anime is all about women who are actually swarms of beetles wearing the skins of women, so I'm totally behind the change.

Might get cleaved = might take a small amount of damage. The small amount of damage is much more dangerous to the minion, since it will kill him. The NPC or solo monster has many more HP and probably has little reason to fear it except over the course of many rounds and many minions. No, the...
