I actually think most of the standard MM1 monsters at heroic (at least low heroic) tier don't need any tweaking. I've played with kobolds as they are since the update, and the amount of damage they do seems to be fine as it is but too strong with the updated damage and accuracy. Maybe minions...

The HP reduction for epic solos came with MM2, along with decreased defenses for elites and solos. So, go back to your MM1 and subtract 1 from two NADs on each elite and solo. That's all I know, though there is more. I too would like to have all the general rules in one place.

What would a general pirate's general strategy be in combat? This should be something that can apply to anyone who would call themselves a pirate.

This'll be great for teaching new people how to play without making it look so confusing. Just what Essentials is trying to do!

If they keep going in this direction, maybe we'll have enough content for a DMG3!

Might someone please summarize this interesting article for those of us who don't have DDI? =)

I love writing out character sheets by hand. I spend hours doing it. All by myself.

I need to give you XP for this, but I can't. =(

It's +2 Dex, +2 Con/Cha now. Which is weird at first, but I guess you can consider them "tough little buggers."

I'm also curious about thief options. Clerics get storm/sun, Fighters get knight/slayer, wizards get 3 schools, but what different kinds of thieves are there?

Nope; it's exactly 55.

I'm now wondering...what did the original Unearthed Arcana contain?

This sounds really awesome! This could be the thing that gets be to subscribe to DDI. I like that they're experimenting; it could open up whole new things that nobody has thought of before. In a way, it's like 3rd parties are being allowed to make homebrew stuff, but those "3rd parties" are...

I don't know any people in real life who have played RPGs before I taught them. That and college = rarely getting to play. Maybe once every other month during the school year, only once this whole summer. =( But the time I spend thinking about gaming? Every waking hour (well, maybe that's...

Mine is my last name. What?

Woodland Forager Preview A sneak peak to give you an idea of my ideas: WOODLAND FORAGER "I may not be as strong, as tough, or as smart as my friends, but I will live the longest. They may know how to fight, but I know how to survive." You come from the forest, a harsh environment despite...

I guess in the end, I'd let the player decide. If the player said, "I want to be knowledgeable on the topic of elemental spirits; I'll be trained in Nature," I'd let them use that skill in those situations. If the player said, "I want to be knowledgeable on the topic of elemental spirits...

It sure has; check the most recent rules update. It's now much more defined; instead of "levels 1-3" and so on, it has a different number for each level. So, level 1 is 1d8 + 4 damage, level 2 is 1d8 + 5 damage, etc.

Going by 4e, level 6 is 7,500 XP (75 at EN World), so it makes sense.
