    Help on a Marketplace Chase scene?

    Statue garden I like. That would make for a ncie open area, but with lots of stuff to duck around and behind. The baths are a good idea too, lots of low areas full of water, and raised walkways above the surface. It could be pretty dynamic.

    Scaling down monsters?

    Can I just say how awesome the Monster Builder is? The Monster Builder is awesome. Thanks. That's all. :)

    Help on a Marketplace Chase scene?

    Thanks! Yeah, you're probably right about the spell. I can narrate it so it'll work without that. Anyone have any suggestions on a location for this scene other than a tavern?

    Help on a Marketplace Chase scene?

    The players have already cleared most of Kobold Hall. All they have left to do is fight the dragon, which is the last encounter in that adventure. So once they do that, they're going to go back to Fallcrest to claim their bounty from the Lord Warden on Kobold scalps and the Wyrmpriest's bone...

    Scaling down monsters?

    Awesome. I looked at the original monster, and it was actually level 7 to start with. My remembering level 14 was wrong. So taking it down to level 4 isn't too bad. Love those stats! Thanks! I'm going to check out the monster builder too, since I'll have several of these things to adjust.

    Scaling down monsters?

    Forgive me if a thread on this already exists. I tried doing a search of the forum first, but couldn't get it to work. I'm planning to buy a subscription to D&D Insider. The tools on there look pretty great to me, as a newbie DM. For the adventure I'm putting together, I want to use...

    Help on a Marketplace Chase scene?

    Oh, nice. I like the Last Crusade idea. Very good one. Well, here's the basic rundown of the story I want to tell. A lot of this was built based on what minis I've got, and building on the basic adventure and setting provided in the DMG. The party has just cleared Kobold Hall of it's...

    Help on a Marketplace Chase scene?

    Good stuff! Ok, I'll have to go pick up the DMG2 for that model. I just assumed I would need a map to keep track of where everyone is. But if I take that out, it would be less to keep track of. I'm not sure if I want them to entertain the old man, exactly. I expect them to have to coerce...

    Nice. I might like to use this. Thanks!

    Help on a Marketplace Chase scene?

    Ok, I'm a first time DM. My party has started with the Kobold Hall adventure in the back of the DMG guide. I'm going to go on my own from there. Here's the general plot I've started: The party kills the Young White Dragon at the end of the adventure. They cut the lenses from the eyes of...

    Want to know if this is a houserule or not?

    You make a good point. I probably need to relax. I guess, being so new, I'm leaning heavily on the written rules to help me through. Maybe I need to step back from that and just go with it for a while.

    Length and difficulty of combats

    I'm new to 4E, and haven't played D&D since 2E. I thought I might weigh in with my thoughts as a complete n00b who wants to play because I want a fun adventure. I'm a player in one game and a DM of another. In both cases, we've only played 2 sessions, 4 combat encounters in each. So, like I...

    Want to know if this is a houserule or not?

    Thanks. I appreciate the quick replies. I think I'll probably let it go for now. What's done is done, and there's no point to fighting about it. But if something happens again that is problematic, like the whole can't-tell-when-bloodied thing, I'm going to call him out on it. Yeah, we...

    Want to know if this is a houserule or not?

    Ok, so I'm playing with a group of n00bs to 4E, including our DM. He played 3.5 a lot, and I'm pretty sure he keeps rolling back to 3.5 rules and stuff. He's admitted to me that he didn't read the 4E Players Handbook, only the quick start rules you can get for free on the Wizards' website...
