Based on the language in the DMG quoted by neobolts above: that wouldn't be right -- a short rest would NOT reset the counter. An EXTENDED rest would reset the counter, eliminate any unused action points and grant you one new action point. Thus, you start the day with one action point...

It occurs to me that you could truncate your diamond blast at the third row. This would: 1) preserve the 9-square area; 2) hit the areas you want; 3) simulate the cone shape people have been missing from breath weapons. In fact, you could easily house rule that characters could choose to shape...

We have met the enemy and he is us.

It's an immediate interrupt -- can't use it on his turn.

Very nice! I think I like your layout for the "Favorite Attacks" better than WotC's -- I want my Attack bonus and damage together on one line! Didn't see this minor glitch mentioned: my tiefling apparently has a Fire Resistance of 5.5! Looks like the cell doesn't truncate the decimal.

The way it is written, the creature can use it to move into difficult terrain; If it said "shift", it couldn't. I agree with your interpretation: the ranged attack doesn't provoke, but the movement might.

**never mind** if I could read, I'd be dangerous.

Watch it wiggle; See it jiggle; Big and Scary; D&D brand Geli Cube! Of the blobs they'll hate the one, that fills up halls and weighs a ton Use D&D brand Geli Cube and Eat someone!

Mearls would lose his moral compass.

If we interpret "tripping" as unbalancing or causing your opponent to over reach, I can see an ooze being tripped. The prone condition just seems like it could cover unbalanced or any awkward position where you fight at a severe disadvantage. Similarly, I can picture "trade places" as the...

I've been wondering what a prone cube would look like.

That would make sense: then the 16 14 13 12 11 10 array actually costs the standard 22 points.

Dude! You shaved! Seriously: My FLGS owner was very pleased to hear that you are actively pursuing actions against those responsible. As a someone who works for a regulatory agency, I know that it's no fun enforcing what should be a no-brainer. Just remember: as much as you'd enjoy using...

Very nice! But, I think my group is suspicious enough that the sudden appearance of helpful NPC might be too obvious. I think they need two NPC's to really sell it -- perhaps Delphinia on her way back from collecting flowers. Hmmm, she happens on the scene as Ninaren drops the last kobold...

I think the question really boils down to: does a shift trigger it. I interpret that it doesn't -- "move" is a defined term that is separate from "shift". "Charge" is a defined term that incorporates a "move" and an "attack", so it would trigger Dragonshield Tactics.

My FLGS said they'd have it today -- so I'm gonna hold 'em to it and be there right after work. Going to wait for the full rule set to run it though -- the guys want to build their own characters and I'd like a little time to figure out where Winterhaven fits into my world.

Hey in your example, the minions WILL get a chance to crit -- when the Pit Fiend uses Irresistible Command to hurl them at the PC's like grenades!

Emphasis mine. I think this is key. The KotS pre-gen rogue has the best AC in the party when he's provoking OA's . I think the new paradigm for rogues will be to provoke OA's to get in an attack rather than stand by with lower AC and take regular attacks.

And you succeeded! Our playtest group just loved the flavor mechanics for all the humanoids we encountered. I think it's best summarized by a comment from our first get-together: "Now THAT'S what fighting hobgoblins should feel like!" Kobolds, goblins, hobbos -- all felt different and RIGHT...

Brings a whole new meaning to "The Quick and the Dead." You'd think that orcs would have evolved better Init mods under these circumstances.
