Thing is, even in 3.x with iterative attacks, Sneak Attack damage only ever applied on the first attack made in a round -- I can't see that changing in 4th.

I'd interpret it a bit differently, myself: that the word "Attacks" is intended to reflect that sneak attack adds on to any of your offensive powers, be it Deft Strike, Piercing Strike, et al -- that instead of referring to multiple attacks in a round, it refers to the plurality of possible...

It's called Crossbow Sniper, and doubles the range at which you can get your Sneak Attack or Skirmish bonus damage. It's hellishly fun to use with a high-level Scout outdoors, as you can zoom around the battlefield, shoot someone and then hide in plain sight immediately after (yeah, -20 on the...

Mmmm, just as an fyi -- I've seen the word "pussification" used quite a few times before now, so, no, ya didn't make it up. Hate to burst yer bubble and all.... As for the rest of it, well, Norton Juster's "The Phantom Tollbooth" had it pretty much right on the money -- when you jump to...

Yeah, harpies almost caused a TPK for me a while back as well. Think I had 2 harpies plus the higher-powered one from the MM as their leader. The party was doing fine as they had a bard countersinging -- until the lead harpy got a lethal crit on the bard with her +1 composite frost longbow...

You do realize just how many peoples' dreams of Mission: Impossible style antics you crushed right there, yes? I hope you're proud of yourself (I know I would be, right down to the evil cackling and monologuing).... :cool:

Hehehe, I just love qualifier overkill like this. Gives me the giggles something fierce, it does. :)

Mmmmm, train-wreck. Can't wait. If it's anything like the virtual derailments I've seen before, it'll be a circus train and the broken bodies of clowns and mimes will be strewn all over, but rescuers won't be able to get to them because of all the invisible boxes in the way.... :uhoh:

Hmmm.... a few would be good for a spin-off game, Cauldrons & Cuisines.... "Giant Lobster -- get into this Unportable Hole which I have filled with boiling water!" later.... "And now to add a dash of flavor from my Decanter of Endless Zima. Woops, that was a bit more than a dash, I think...

Give that person a cookie!

I could see a Manticore as a solo monster. Claws, teeth, flying.... and tail spikes it can zing at the party. Could be a rather nasty critter, all told, and may be just right for mid-heroic.

*sigh* I presume wallabies killed the wombats and took their stuff?

Also, all of the Biggie Smalls playtest reports feature him for the most part wading into melee, dual-wielding like a diminutive madman -- and he's a Ranger. To date he's busted out the Ranged Pain only twice (at least as noted in the reports).

Pfft, one of my players played a halfling rogue who had an NPC half-orc.... sidekick. With benefits.... (not my idea -- the gal took the character concept and went in really bizarre directions....)

Yeah, they strike me as a bit too far down the "pure evil" slope to be a decent PC race as well. 'Course, that may be because the last time I DM'd them, I gave them special "impaling spikes of regeneration" upon which they stuck a few helpless humans....

Meh, I dunno. This monster just, you know, leaves me cold. *snicker*

I'm just gonna reserve myself a copy at my FLGS and pay full price for it. That way I can pick it up on the way home and not have to worry about UPS or whomever leaving it outside in front of my door. Or worse, wanting a signature which would require me to wait in line somewhere. Plus, I...

No, they haven't said monsters can't crit. All they've said is that the weapon abilities which improve crits are only available to PCs. Monsters will still be able to crit and it will still HURT, however.

Yeah, I failed that particular Will save back in August...

Hey, I think we've found the ecological niche for gnomes! :D
