My GM just cuts & pastes the map, blows it up, and prints it. It is a *little* pixilated looking-- but pretty good- certainly better than having to draw out the whole map or hunt them down on another site.

There is a feat that gives you -5 to hit your allies in your AoE spells, and does reduced damage to them I think. If you attack an area I'm in, and have this feat, fine- you blew a feat on it- and it is unlikely to harm me- as your character is purposefully trying to avoid me, even though I'm...

It is especially annoying if playing a Kobold (all PC kobolds have the "deformity" of normal vision. Which is why they were kicked out of regular kobold society- for being essentially blind. Kobolds... so intolerant).

Wow- it sounds like you created a very cool "The Sixth Sense" moment for your game. Don't ruin it by making it into some convoluted skill challenge. You can just easily do this via role-play. If the character is strong enough to lift the rocks, they're strong enough to lift the rocks- why...

But if I want to be a halfling ranger, fighter, paladin, or any other class that isn't a 1. Caster or 2. Rogue, the character will suck. 2nd chance and the other abilities are great- but small size weapons make warrior types a non-option. At a con, other players got MAD at me for showing up...

So what is the most under powered race in your opinion? My vote is the halfling. There is ZERO upside to being a small character in 4e. A halfling has a major disadvantage in any weapons based classes except rogue; essentially a -2 damage per die penalty difference between d8 and d12. This is...

So which class in 4e is the most underpowered in your opinion? In 3.5, many people thought that the Fighter was underpowered (I wasn't among them)- what in 4e is the equivilent? You can consider all of the classes from the core books that have been released to date- but not the Monk...

Basic Action Games is pleased to announce that the pdf only release of BASH! Basic Action Super Heroes Ultimate Edition will be available the day after Thanksgiving (11/27/2009). We'll keep you posted regarding hard-copies- and those who pre-order a hard-copy will receive a free pdf as well...

Just my initial take: You are far better off having Bastard Sword Prof. than having Weapon Focus: Heavy Blade. The former is average of +3 damage when using a power that does 3W damage, while the latter is only +1 damage no matter how many weapon dice you are using. If you can upgrade this...

My advice on SC is to ignore and avoid them whenever possible. They suck the fun out of DnD 4E like an industrial strength vacuum, and are completely unnecessary to play. The wonkage of players justifying using Diplomacy skill to escape from shackels, etc, ruins all suspension of disbelief for...

As long as the GM is telling what AC the minotaur hit, you're playing it right. Otherwise, you're being screwed.

In a word: "no" What you *can* do is Move THEN charge, but once you charge, your turn is over.

Radiant damage hurts everything- undead are usually just especially susceptible to it.

Using the size of the creature as the origin of the burst is grossly unfair & over-powered, getting more powerful the bigger the burst. It should be 1 square. Otherwise a creature taking up 2x2 squares increases the size of the burst exponentially. A Burst 1 attack will cover 12 squares...

This is interesting- since you can ready a charge as an interrupt action. I don't know if it says anywhere *what* happens when a charge is interrupted. Presuming that the "straight line" that you have to run in has now been blocked, you cannot complete the charge on the original target- but...

If it is an immediate interupt, that means that you get to know if it will make a difference or not- the GM tells you what AC was hit, and you decide to use the power to interrupt the attack. If the AC the enemy hit is a secret, the power becomes practically useless.

But thinking that they are *both* meant to be used at once makes me see the value of DS. I have just made a Dragonborn hybrid Sorcerer / Paladin. He uses Divine Challenge, then attacks the foe with an At-Will sorcerer power that damages the enemy if he attacks me. I decided that the divine...

Do they do the same damage? So far it seems that the challenge is better in every way.
