Just wondering if there's a simple table/equation to use to convert monsters from the MM and MM2 to the new, updated (and more deadly) damage I hear new monsters are doing. I'm mostly using MM, MM2 and the old downloadable Monster Builder for my campaign, and I would hate for my characters to...

Excellent advice/updates everyone, many thanks (especially to Truename). Now my group has a set of rules we can all agree on, and debate endlessly :P But in all seriousness, many thanks. Now off to read The Hidden Club, thanks to Neubert. Trit

All of the above advice seems really excellent to me. One thing no one's touched on so far though is the Surprise Bolts. I don't have my books on me atm, but if I remember right a rogue I used to DM for tried to use those for a while, before I pointed out a rather high cost per bolt. Don't know...

Gearing up to jump back in to my campaign, and I'm trying to take my game to the next level. One of my players, the Gnome Rogue, has always been frustrated with how Stealth is handled. I know there have been many clear and unclear erratas to the rules... can anyone sum up for me the basics of...

One thing I've found in my playing, and after talking to friends who have had similar playing experiences, is that while 4E runs much smoother in combat, encounter building, and to some extent, skill encounters, it doesn't initially have the flexibility when it comes to story-telling. Now, I...

@Quickleaf I had wondered about that as well. My idea, since this is a low-complexity encounter (roughly the xp of one monster), is that if the heroes should fail, she would give them -some- of the information, and then tip off the person of interested they're after, giving him time to scrounge...

Excellent everyone, some really helpful ideas. This encounter is early in the story, so I may keep it simple and just set it at a low complexity. The use of History/Streetwise ect helps open it up a bit, as my players have a tendency to each pick at least a few knowledge skills if not...

Hey everyone, This is my first time posting on these forums, but they sound like the perfect place to bounce some of my ideas around. I'm currently writing my first adventure/campaign for my game group. We recently finished Seekers of the Ashen Crown and want to keep going strong. One issue...
