If an 8th level character has 3 magic items with daily powers, sure. Is this likely? I honestly don't know.

Sorry, I'm an idiot.

1) It probably says that in the Keep on the Shadowfell Quick Play Rules somewhere. 2) Not defined, yet. That situation seems like a DM adjudication sort of thing. I'd say as a Standard action that leaves you prone, make a saving throw against that particular effect. 3) There is no such...

In the middle of a dungeon or in the middle of a fight, a magic item may save your life. Residium will only do this if you use it as payment for something, and the magic item can do that. Therefore, I wouldn't disenchant to get residium unless I'm about to make a new item with it, right the heck...

So, over the course of a level, a group of 5 PCs should gain the following amounts of treasure: -Magic Item of Party Level +4 -Magic Item of Party Level +3 -Magic Item of Party Level +2 -Magic Item of Party Level +1 -GP equal to (Magic Item of Party Level x2) Some of that GP may be in the form...

Most (all?) of the magic items we've seen are more than just a flat 'make these numbers bigger' plus. So the balance between two items of different levels with the same/similar enhancement bonus effect can come from differences in that special power. For example: Two items that occupy the Neck...

The character sheet you linked to says the fighter's power is 2d6+3. So the problem is...non-existent?

I feel justified in bumping this up to the front page, given that people are asking questions that are answered here. I hope to make a few minor updates this weekend.

The consensus seems to be that you roll once at the start of the creature's turn, and any power that has the number that comes up is recharged, and available for that action.

I, for one, am following this thread. I'm just not posting because I haven't been able to run it yet. Also, since Second Son is sitting there with far less in the way of playtest reports, I hope Olgar won't be offended if I don't run this module first.

As someone mentioned before, the miniatures game sets it up as a creature having Conceal X, and whenever a melee or ranged attack hits them, the attacker must roll a d20 and equal or exceed X to confirm the hit. In the case of Invisibility, the creature gains Conceal 11, which basically means a...

I recently ran a wave battle of kobolds and winter wolves against my PCs. 1 wave per 2 rounds dropping off a cliff 60' up and being Feather Falled by a Kobold Sorceror 6 atop the cliff, out of sight. Each wave was 3 winter wolves and a Kobold Dragon Shaman 5 or Kobold Dragonfire Adept 6 (one can...

4th Edition: Perhaps too hard to handle for 12 year olds. So probably easier to understand than 3.5, but harder than the old Basic Set in the red box. I don't know if I'm going to run this or Mike Shea's adventure when I get the chance. Is it sad that I'd rather run a 4E demo than the big...

DISCLAIMER: I have no idea how Death & Dying currently works or will work in 4E. The only thing I've seen is the article here: http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drdd/20080201a Here's how I've been running it in some test combats (haven't gotten my PCs together yet): Keep track of your...

And I would play it at a con. And I would play in Eberron. Epic win.

He's onto us. Get everything into the time machine.

Another thing to consider is that if the dragon finds itself up against a group of enemies it's confident it can kill, sitting on the wall and breathing at them just makes it easier for his dinner to run away. Getting up close and personal means Opportunity Attacks if his hors d'oeuvres try to...

The distinction, as I understand it, is that a round consists of every monster and PC in the fight acting once. A turn is just one monster or PC acting once. In each round, every monster and PC gets to take one turn. Think of a "round" as "going aROUND the table once", and a turn as "Okay, now...

If they don't, we're going to play 4th Edition anyway, but with fanmade adventures. And we're going to do it wrong, making the system look really bad, and then people we invite to the games we're running won't buy 4th Edition. Yeah, that's what'll happen. Clearly they should post the adventures...

Carrying a bag o' rats around with you, using your move, minor, and standard actions for the round to teleport 3 squares? It sure isn't a bug.
