While Mouseferatu is correct in theory, I might stop after MM2. On the other hand, basing each MM around a major baddie or two is a nice move. MM1 has Orcus and a bunch of undead, Yuan-Ti and the Zehir cult, and a bunch of regular cast because they have to be in. If MM2 has Demogorgon and his...

Kudos to Sigma7 on RPGnet. And it's looking good.

This. Assuming they're balanced vs each other (which is up for debate), they're OK. Also, noone's reacted to the +2 to saves one yet? Edit: Nice background inspiration even without the bonuses, too.

But his teleport doesn't allow porting through steel bars, or across pits, or up walls, or through a Wall of Fire. Just saying. :) Nice idea. If I change it slightly to them actually stepping out of time for a few seconds, it feels very appropriate for a fey race.

True, the Warlock pact at-wills do the same thing - do damage and give the enemy a disincentive to hit back. It'd be broken for Wizards because their spells actually do different things. :p Wouldn't be crazy powerful for a Fighter either, frex. (At least not until martial Power comes out and...

E E @ E E E = enemy @ = you In practice, not that likely.

There's also Hellish Rebuke cheese (let a henchman stab you with a rusty knife to inflict the extra damage if you take damage). :)

The attack stat for Dragon breath is Str, Con or Dex, choose at character generation. Theoretically a 50% chance of being the same stat your regular attack power runs off (100% chance for their "favored class", the Fighter.). The +3 (or +2 for some weapons) for proficiency is technically...

Dungeons and Dagon, eh? Extreme pun-potential aside, I liked it.

And dragonborn, genasi and drow get a +2 bonus to hit with their racials to compensate for not getting implement boni to their racials. Half-elves don't even get that. RAW may say that half-elves can't use an implement to get a hit bonus to their dilettante power, but I'm not convinced it's RAI.

One? No wonder the audience is :eek:ing.

Win. :) Charismatic Warlord. Blood Bowl strikes me as a good example of what D&D is REALLY turning into. ;)

They can drop schythes (and armor) just fine. It just isn't a Flaming Scythe +1, but rather a nonmagical steel scythe which might be nice to look at, but far too clunky to haul back from the Abyss for the 1 gp it sells for in Fallcrest. Or it's actual Flameburst Scythes +1 that the DM included...

Aah, legendary dwarven cooking. I loved the parcel system the moment I saw the relevant preview.

Warforged. ;) I guess Dragonborn, if I have to choose from those three.

Venomking and Steelclaw work just fine. I got a Yuan-ti Firedancer when I used one of those randomizers.

Also, these "weapons" can be enchanted, so a pugilist doesn't miss out on expected enchantment bonuses (regular plusses, and bonus damage on crits).

Treating curses as diseases has a lot of merit, but a sword that deals a -2 to hit (and stops you from using an appropriately enchanted weapon for your level) gets nastier as you level up because you're missing out on a bigger expected weapon enchantment. A technically functioning item (that...

That's one huecuva article. The huecuva and the Eye of Fear and Flame sounded exceptionally stupid when they were included in Order of The Stick, but these make me want to run an undead-slaying campaign. PirateCat-style.

I got a boar and a bunch of ghouls for a level 15 encounter. Forgot to copy it. This one wasn't too bad: 1 Adult Blue Dragon Level 13 Solo Artillery 4000 Monster Manual, page 78 (Dragon, Blue) 3 Githyanki Warrior Level 12 Normal Soldier 700 Monster Manual, page 128 (Githyanki)
