Can someone explain to me the Wizard of the Spiral Tower? (Wizard Paragon Path) - Can you use a longsword in one hand and a wand/orb in the other hand? - Can you use a magical longsword and get its enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls of powers with the Implement keyword? - Can you...

I am thinking of creating a group of NPCs to fight the group of PCs, and create them as PCs. They are supposed to be some sort of adventurers or merceneries and with power appropriate to the levels of the PCs. Have any of you ever tried making a group of antiheroes in your campaign? What do you...

Some powers require you to use a Healing Surge. Can you use more than one healing surge per an encounter? I know you can use Second Wind only once per encounter, but what about other powers?

I am now creating a new villain for my campaign and I have been wondering how can I create an evil humanoid necromancer. It is my first time as a DM and I would appreciate any tips for NPC creation. I think the villain fits the "Death Master" functional template in the DMG (P177), but I don't...

Can a you reduce the size of an Area or Close power? For example, can a Wizard cast a Burning Hands spell, but use it as a Close Blast 3 instead of a Close Blast 5? It just makes sense that if you can create a large fireball, you could also create a smaller one.

Lets see, what makes a fighter a good defender? - The ability to absorb attacks. A fighter has a lot of HP and a lot of healing surges to use per a day. To improve the fighter's ability to absorb attacks, he gain access to powers like Boundless Endurance, Iron Warrior and No Surrender. - The...

Saeviomagy: Two of the player characters are unaligned (the rogue and the ranger) and the wizard is good, but it feels more like having a group of Evil and Chaotic Evil characters... and I am actually not ok with it. Byronic: The players themselves are not greedy, they just play their...

Jhulae, thanks for the offer. We never tried any other RPG other than D&D (we used to play AD&D). Though I am kind of eager to play 4th edition since it's my first time I DM and I already bought the books. We are all 21 years old. Paul Strack, that is actually very helpful! I noticed that...

Hello, I am a DM for a 4 players group with my friends and I am having some troubles in my campaign. We are only at our fourth session and it is the first time we play 4th edition, and also my first time as a DM in D&D (I’m usually a player). I have some questions for you and I am sure some of...

I have a problem using a Trap from the DMG on my adventure. Spear Gauntlet (Level 2 Obstacle Trap on Page 87) Trap: Five squares in the room contain hidden spears that thrust up to attack when triggered. Trigger: The trap, five squares placed randomly in the room attacks when a creature...

We have just started playing yesterday and I had the same situation. They were 3 characters against my 3 goblin cutters (minions) and 3 goblin blackblades (non-minion). I looked at the goblin cutters equipment and said they are wearing leather armor and holding short swords in their hands. Then...

:1: Can a character who uses arrows (lets say a Ranger) pick up his arrows after the combat ends? :2: If the answer to :1: is yes, then can that Ranger use those arrows again thus having unlimited ammunition and not having to buy any more arrows for the rest of his life? :3: If the answer to :2...
