clear. thanks guys

right. so basically its entirely possible to gain and use an AP every other encounter.

Age old question I'm sure, but I wasn't able to find a clear answer; when counting two encounters to (re)gain an action point, do you include the last encounter an action point was spent? e.g. the party win two encounters, one vs a troll and one vs a brigand band. a player spends an action...

yea, we're having a great time with this. I like cooking up stories and the players love running around in it, from both the tactical battlegrid and the flavor roleplaying point of view. the synchronous *gasp* all players let loose when I plopped down the young dragon mini was classic :D as was...

Exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. I thought about just handing them the XP, but these guys have been counting down to 1000 for two sessions now and giving them free XP off-session may feel like a hollow experience. Hence the tiny interbellum encounter. Good suggestion about...

Hi My novice band of players just finished the Kobold Hall which I fluffed up to some extent, and I'm going to have them summoned to Harkenwold for the whole Reavers business. Unfortunately, these guys are about 50xp short of lvl2 and they are all itching to gain new powers and skills. Now I...

And here I thought I had made a decision.. I guess we'll stick with MM for now, and see if he wants to retrain when he levels. Cloud of Daggers would be awesome, but this particular Wizard isn't all to wise (WIS 10). He does have 20 INT tho so Int dmg is where it's at for him.

Some interesting points. I like the force damage tidbit. Yes we're using Core Rules only, so basically only PHB1. The party does have a Warlord though no powers that allow for Ranged Basic Attacks. What the party doesn't have is a fullfledged defender so the Warlord is also the damage sponge...

A brand new 1st level Wizard, which of these two At-Wills would be better? I rolled one for one of my players and I instinctly chose MM as it has been the wizard's bread&butter since forever. But after playing two sessions and more careful reading, I fail to see the MM's advantage over Ray of...

So the day finally came and we played. I didn't have a companion character ready for them because we found a fifth player who would take on the role of Fighter, only to cancel literally three minutes before go-time. Nice. Still, we managed to play without any problems so far. Everyone was very...

It hasnt yet, we'll be playing on the 7th. Thanks for asking, I will post my experiences after we play.

I let these posts run through my head during the night and it gave me some inspiration regarding the 'issues' I'm having. The sole purpose of adding the encounter before the actual Keep - the meeting with Valek the Rogue - was so the PCs would indeed have some social interaction before...

All sound and useful advice. Thanks for cooking up a Companion, we might use it if all else fails. Obviously having a player control two characters would take away the immersion, especially for new players, but desperate times and all that. I agree that a dragon should be feared and respected...

doesn't the PHB mention the party needs to wait 12 hours before they can take another 8 hour extended rest? So it basically says you can only ExtRest once a day anyway. As for having them ExtRest after every encounter, I would make them find a place to rest first. Sleeping on a dungeon floor...

Hey all, After some ferocious googling and reading a few threads here I decided to register in hopes of getting some much needed advice. Me and four friends are about to embark onto the unpredictable waters that is 4E. I've played 3E some 10 years ago for a while and also DMed for a bit. The...
