Genius. Seriously, genius idea! Plus, an excuse to drink unhealthy amounts of fizzy drinks! There is no downside. (I know, I know, my dentist would disagree...)

Maybe, but bear in mind that since the vertical component of a long jump is measured in squares, and rounded down to whole squares, a roll of 15 on your check gets you 3 feet up with a vertical jump, but 3 squares along and 0 up on a long jump (15/5 = 3, 3/4 = 0.75, round down to 0)...

You might get more responses to this if it were in the 4e Fan Creations / House Rules area. People there are always interested in new and interesting Character Sheets, and yours, having looked at the samples, appears both new and interesting. Certainly one I'll be playing with, thanks.

I agree, very clever use of free stuff. What I've done for AoE markers (and this only works for certain sizes) is recycle the boards that my Dungeon Tiles popped out of. By cutting the appropriate places, I have created 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6 and 8x8 square frames, which I can plop down on the...

Also odd, they appear to have missed the last contributer off the vote. Which is a shame, because I was tempted to vote for him...

What about a power like the Sorcerer's level 5 daily, Acidic Implantation? The power itself does damage, but that damage is part of the Effect, not the Hit. The hit only pushes. Would a critical hit apply the implement's special effects?

There's always the just as cliched but maybe not quite so forced bad guy monologue. You know the one, the good guys have just defeated this guy and he's lying there in a pool of his own blood but manages to choke out a few lines along the lines of "Ha, you think you've won? Well, you don't know...

I thought I'd give this a go, but after signing up and searching the league ID given in your first post I was told it didn't exist, and when I clicked the link in your second post, it took me to the Welcome League, not the Gamers League. I'd like to join in, am I doing something wrong? My...

Interestingly, regarding the Warden, it's not his mark that makes him an effective defender. From my (admittedly limited to a few encounters worth of combat testing) experience of my level 6 earthstrength warden, it's his controller aspects that kept the other party member almost entirely...

My wife prefers the terms 'geek shop' to refer to our FLGS and 'geeking' for the weekly game, but she means it affectionately. She knew me almost 10 years before we started going out, and I was gaming all that time, so she's long since accepted my foibles. She's a big science geek herself...

My players don't like to give me wish lists but for a different reason: They like the surprise of what they're going to pick up. I can get rough categories of items from them (Neck slot item, short sword, etc) but ask for specific items and they'll say that would destroy the suspension of...

Yeah, my players would lynch me if I tried to implement this. Admittedly there's only two of them, but the guy playing the rogue tends to burn through all his healing surges in around 3 encounters with RAW, so forcing him to spend a healing surge to get an additional action OR to use his daily...

I tend to give my players the option of which skill to use when there are two skills covering a monster (like all those natural undead), so I say "Roll Nature or Religion, whichever is higher". I figure it checks off my two key rules: 1) It makes some degree of sense, and 2) It doesn't screw...

Ah yes, I forgot about the at-will only restriction, thanks. When I used a dominating creature, it threw my players for a loop. Nothing quite so fun as constantly dominating the very weak willed rogue and deft striking his companion. Attack powers that include movement are very handy in...

The other question, alongside this, is whether the dominated character considers the dominating creature an ally. Given that monsters have 1 healing surge per tier, could a dominating creature dominate the party cleric and have him use healing word to heal up?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I just got some of the new Dangerous Delves WotC miniatures, and among them was the Bonechill Chimera, which has an ability to attack with each of its heads, each against a different target. This got me to thinking, the game I'm running has only 2 PCs...

Not so much. It's not YOUR allies it's gaining cover from, it's ITS allies, or your enemies. It follows the rules you quoted just fine.

Was that the point where the Warden's player cursed the fact that he didn't have Form of Winter's Herald? Because that's one heck of a leveller against Chillborn Zombies.

I'm pretty sure ap's asking for feedback on the expansion of the power jewel to more than just 1st/3rd encounter powers. I have very little experience of balancing this sort of thing, so I can't comment knowledgeably about that aspect, but I will say that I agree that it would be nice to have...

The way I read it is as follows: It happens after the ally hits zero and immediately heals them up, so they end up prone but on positive hit points. The 'Before the attack' line is talking about before your attack. Basically, you see a friend fall, and you run hell for leather to go snot the...
