    Visions of Avarice trivializes melee encounters?

    I think what Shadow means is that a character only gets one minor action per round. For the wizard to sustain this power, it takes a minor action, and then it takes a separate minor action to make the attack. This means that the wizard is either not moving, or not making any other attack. It is...

    Question about Gnome's Fade Away power

    I think you've got it exactly right there. EDIT: No, I'm wrong. See cdrcjsn's post below.

    Trap: The Necrototem

    Inspiration for this trap is from Kael's Fall from Heaven mod for Civilization IV. The flavor has been adapted to the generic 4E campaign setting. Due to the lack of trap creation guidelines in the DMG, the numbers are based on the examples contained therein. The effect is straight from the...

    Arcane Sword Epic Destiny- Auto-Win?

    I'd say that for the purposes of 'end of the encounter', the sword does not count as a threat. Meaning, if all of the swordmage's allies are dead or have fled, the fight is over, and the sword returns to the swordmage, restoring him to 1 hp...while surrounded by enemies. A swordmage who for some...

    Best Strategy with Shadar-Kai Witch?

    Beshadowed Mind recharges pretty quickly - on a 4, 5 or 6. I think the strategy for her should be: 1) Use Beshadowed Mind until it fails to recharge. 2) Shadow Jaunt close enough to catch a few enemies/allies in the aura of Deep Shadow, then activate Deep Shadow as well. 3) Keep in mind that...

    I still don't understand Controllers

    I occasionally play a wizard in LFR games. We were playing a level 3-4 module, and I was level 1. Second Encounter: I get 2nd in initiative. It's a reasonably large, square room, with the enemies at the far end. Between the two sides, against the right wall, is a large square trap - get close...

    Can a Bard take Adept Power more than once?

    I wasn't going to reply, since I don't know the answer off the top of my head, and didn't feel like looking up the rules and forming an opinion. Then I realized the topic creator was Stalker0, who is ****ing awesome and to whom I consider myself indebted for all his work with skill challenges...

    Dead Devas

    Crunch-wise, I think it has to mean nothing, for the sake of game balance. So, we must build the fluff around it. Idea: When a deva is raised, its spirit is pulled from the newborn child it is in and returns to continue being its old self, with perhaps some difficulties in memory. The newborn...

    Trivial houserule: "Help Up" action

    For making it a minor action - perhaps require an Athletics check? It's like picking up a really heavy sword! EDIT: Help Up At Will Minor Action, Melee touch Target: One prone ally Special: Make a DC 15 Athletics check. Success: On its next turn, the target can stand up as a minor action...

    Solving all minion issues (long)

    Dreamchaser, those charts are for creating the monster statblocks, not for running them mid-fight. Also, I'm concerned that these HP amounts might be a bit too high. I think a hit with an at-will from a PC of any level should kill 1 minion, more in cases like Cleave and Scorching Burst. I...

    Stalker0's Obsidian Skill Challenge System (NEW VERSION: 1.2!!!)

    Scales of War Skill Challenges I've actually started on converting the Scales of War skill challenges over to Obsidian. I've only finished converting Rescue at Rivenroar so far, but it wasn't too hard, just takes a bit of ingenuity. The rest of this post contains **SPOILERS** for Scales of...

    Good & Bad : Wizards

    I have played a controller wizard in one LFR adventure. Here is how I fared in controlling the fights. The following text can be considered SPOILERS for those who haven't read/played DALE1-1 and don't want it spoiled. SPOILERS BEGIN Encounter 1: Many enemies - fire beetles with AoE fire...

    Hellish Rebuke

    I am running an LFR adventure tomorrow with an Infernal Warlock and a Dark Pact Warlock. I expect this sort of hijinks to occur.

    These look great! Think you could make them for the other conditions, maybe even including marked, quarry, etc?
