    DMG Excerpt: Customizing Monsters

    There is. It's a story called Desert Sun by Jon Rogers (who's currently doing Blue Beetle) which can be found in the "Ninja Tales" anthology from Boom Studios. I don't know if you could still find it in stores, I haven't seen any new copies, well, ever, but second hand compies can be found on...

    DMG Excerpt: Customizing Monsters

    Strangely enough, they're also not heroic fantasy characters. Actually, if the minions are damaged by sunlight, but the Lord is just inconvenienced, that would be awesome, and would actually fit a lot of the more recent stuff you see around.

    Power Sources purely cosmetic?

    There's actually a couple of other things currently unique to power source, although they may not stay that way as we learn more, or as more classes beyond the PHB are published. Attacks we've seen are dex or str based, meaning they have better basic attacks and thus rely slightly less on their...

    Anyone else miss Dispel Magic?

    I think you're missing the forest for the trees here, I don't really feel arguing over the details of the characters with tyou. Except of course good rules are ones that allow to to say "yes, yes you can". (even if it's "yes, but...").

    If this was true, the bit talking about higher level characters wouldn't say "calculate your ... Armor Class, defenses, initiative, base attack bonuses and damage bonuses, and skill modifiers.", because they'd allready be calculated, they'd allready be a part of the stat, it would also mean the...

    Anyone else miss Dispel Magic?

    Let me put it this way. You have a Wizard and a Sorcorer in your party. The Wizard is an elf who's on a quest because she lost her memories and fell in love with her brother who was then being cursed by her childhood friend because she really liked the guy and thought the whole thing was...

    Hit Points?

    They're going to have an entire page in the PHB which has nothing but "add consitution score to hps" in huge letters aren't they? (I don't mean to to pick on the OP. The fact that it's such a common mistake puts you in good company)

    Toughness and 20 con gives you 241. You might be able to go higher, but I think it's unlikely to be by much.

    Anyone else miss Dispel Magic?

    Limiting powerful abilities by fluff things like "have to have seen it" does nothing to limit true powergamers since they'll just write up a three page background for why their 5,000 year old Necropolitan with maxed knowledge skills who've seen everything, ever is the perfect character for this...

    The amount of healing surges (and thus healing per day) you have is based of con. Most non-defenders in a party with a defender won't care, but a defender, or any other character shuffled into the meatshield role will.

    Perhaps, remember that PCs have larger kicker, if magic items can also give hp it well be a case of different paths to similar ends.

    We have seen a regenerate ability that just lets you heal 20 as a minor. There have been others that let you regenerate at certain points, I doubt it will be universal.

    White Raven Onslaught Revision

    No, It's the name of a power in a rulebook, the PC may not know it by that name, the PC may not even consider it a particular technique, in can be the name of an organisation, but the decision to make it part of the world or not is one you or your players make, not something forced onto you.

    The Warlock, what a great assasin!!

    There is an eternal 14 year old within me who want to say "wink wink nudge nudge" every time somebody mentions "making a pact".

    Stat Penalties/Damage?

    Swarming Wyverns or worse Shadows against PCs who con take down most creatures of that CR incredibly easy takes no tactics, and both are relative resistanct to normal attempts to contain them, often actively discouraging true tactical play. Using dex damaging abilities against dragons takes no...

    D&D 4E Should 4e convert to metric?

    Pint is an actual measurement? Man, I though it was just one of those wierd beer measurements which change completely by where you are.
