My 2cp :)

It wouldn't be enworld without one of these threads somewhere on page 1 :p

Personally I've always seen the Battlemind as being the "Yeah, good luck actually doing damage to me" type of defender. They also have the most punishing mark violation imo, so it makes the monsters that much more locked into that defender. It's a little boring at low levels though, you almost...

Here's how I read Cloud of Darkness: An effect that is not strictly a lack of light, but rather a miasma that cannot be penetrated by any means; a creature within it is blocked from line of sight. Further, you are only immune to the effects of your own CoD; if there are multiple Drow present...

Since nobody has mentioned it, it's worth noting that charging itself gives you a +1, of which bull rush is a possible outcome. The bull rush act or effect doesn't grant anything except the one square push though.

I'm not really sure why you're treating Essentials like it's going to break some kind of story canon, there's nothing thematically unique about them that sets them apart from the rest of 4e; there's no reason they shouldn't just integrate without batting an eye. Also, your entire post screams...

It's worth noting that "supporting" essentials (in the sense that the DM has to have the books to be able to vet what his players are doing) costs all of $40. That's all, and it gets you eight classes with between 1 and 3 options for each. The ____ Power books can't even come close to this...

Alternately to spending a lot of time adjusting monster stats for adjusted levels, try looking for another monster that fits the level and role you want and reskin it. Nobody has to know that the goblin BBEG standing in front of your PCs used to be a troll. This has to be done carefully as...

Fair enough; I still say the wording makes the zone independent of the cleric in RAI, regardless of the fact that the power's range states close burst 1. Poor choice in terms and/or a way to prevent the cleric from dropping the field from a safe distance, perhaps. If the wording of the power...

Color me crazy, but at the very least RAI when looking at the Consecrated Ground text tells me the zone is perfectly capable of existing without the Cleric in it, as the text specifically says "You can move the origin square of the zone 3 squares with a move action" but doesn't mention the...

Don't forget you actually have to hit each target in order to splash the damage around like that. Without the hit, you simply deal half damage to the primary targets. So it's not that unreasonable, especially considering it's a daily.

Without really getting a good look at the adventure itself to get more context for the flavor of this character, or knowing exactly what your party makeup is, here's a basic idea for what I'd do. The budget for the elite and his minions leaves enough for a handful of other creatures being...

That's the textbook way to do it, but it's really boring. He needs a bloodied trigger, either that makes him do something badass, or that lets him get out of dodge and regroup. I'm loopy from a new years all nighter but I'll have a look at this after a nap and see what I can come up with.

IniTracker Or if you want/need to run locally without internet access, simply download all the files at trunk - initracker - Project Hosting on Google Code and place them into the same folder structure somewhere on your system, then just open the local html document.

Not that it matters a ton, but warlocks also have the benefit of being naturally aligned to social skills thanks to their key ability scores; most strikers don't have a choice but to turn WIS/CHA into their dump stats and sometimes suffer in social scenarios for it. And as warlock builds for...

Dwarves are the superior race anyway.

When did they change that? I totally missed it >_>

Blargh, same here. MrMyth's post almost perfectly embodies the "yes, but..." concept that is near (if not at) the top of the DM credo. Taking options away from your players is not a good way to endear yourself to them; if a player wants to switch characters, then generally you should work with...

Just so my earlier comments are put in clearer context, this is exactly what I do. If you have 4 drow, 2 umber hulk, and a plant monster, then the 4 drow all operate off of one initiative roll, the umber hulk off another, and the plant monster off a third. It can still be dangerous toward the...
