Whoah! Lots of replies! Thanks all! What's wrong with polearm defenders and human TWF rangers? In any case, my gnome rogue was multiclassed into wizard for some blasting potential and we had a Gnoll Warlord for healing too. Sadly, our warlord got eaten by the Blue Ooze and so I didn't feel a...

:erm: Don't fighters start with shield proficiency? :confused:

Somebody obviously didn't train in Perception. :p I took the Skill TRAINING feat and the Alertness feat. Skill FOCUS and Alertness don't stack, but the former pair do since the +5 you get for training isn't any particular kind of bonus--it just is. I agree wholeheartedly about dragons being...

Quote me rules on exactly what happens when oozes split. They're aren't any really. I mean, when an ooze splits, where does the "child ooze" appear? Does it appear adjacent to the "parent ooze?" Or can the parent ooze have it appear, say, on the other sides of enemies in a flanking position...

That's the thing about PUSH effects. The enemy has to be pushed AWAY from you. If we would have pushed them to the right, then they woud still be adjacent to us, which is illegal for Push effects. I wonder if that would have worked. *scratches head* I dunno. I'm real big on the rules and...

That's exactly what we were doing...until we all died.

Hindsight is always 20/20! Our party consisted of... ...a gnome brutal strength rogue. ...a human two-weapon fighting ranger. ...a polearm-welding elf fighter. ...a polearm-wielding dragonborn polearm paladin. After realizing that the treasure in the lair was only a trap to lure adventures...

Errata also states that the Flaming Sphere spell is an exception to the previous errata and DOES block the square it's in. That way, wizards can't stand in their own flaming spheres for protection. I think you may be an update or two behind the curve. In short, the dragon would of had to...

Yes I've posted the story one other time in another thread (somewhere around here) the day after we had the game and yet again over on the WotC boards. In any case, it has been said that the dragon was beaten more by the hallway then our tactics. I find that this is partially true in that the...

A Defender without armor? Two things are going to happen: (1) Monsters will like attacking you a lot (which coincidentally makes you a better defender), and (2) you will need a lot more healing/HP/durability powers/etc. Alternatively, you could jsut wear scale mail. No penalties means you can...

You can use powers outside of combat just fine. Using them on unconventional targets on the other hand (such as fireballing a pool of water to cause it to boil/steam/dehydrate) is up to your GM to decide (hopefully he encourages such creative behavior). My cleric used Cause Fear on a Goblin...

What's worse? A "potential" troll? Or an obvious flamer? :hmm:

Your first mistake was reading the Player's Handbook first. It plays great, but reads terrible. The Dungeon Master's Guide on the other hand, really sets the tone for 4th Edition and should definitely be read FIRST. Also, if you want to sound more valid in your complaint of the new edition, you...

We are DRAGON KILLERS! In a 2nd-level game a while back we encountered a white dragon in a dungeon and totally pwned it. My human cleric with his super high Wisdom as well as the Skill Training: Perception and Alertness feats heard the dragon's heavy breathing before we ever made it to its...

I wonder if Stubborn Survivor stacks with Human Perseverance. If so, it's broken. Love the new holy symbols. There really should have been specific ones from the beginning, but I can see why they didn't make them core (takes up too much space and would be hard to space out on the level curve...

It is old news, but not very wide spread old news. The D&D Compendium and the Monster Generator on D&DI have listed Rotters as level one for months (and D&DI supposedly has future errata in it already which means it is most likely an official change). What is widely known is that the zombie...

Whenever you make an area attack of any kind, roll damage first, than roll the attack roll for each valid taret within the area. If you hit, deal the damage to that target. If you get a natural 20 on your attack roll die, ignore your previous damage roll and apply max damage for that particular...

There was a utility power somewhere that gave you an extra action point every encounter so long as you dropped an enemy. Stack that with the violet solitaire and you are getting two additional action points every encounter! PO-WA-FUL!

Stupid rules. *grumbles then fixes post* Now please get back on topic. :yawn:
