I sometimes split a monster into 4, quartering it's HP. I generally give 1/2 xp for these 'mooks'. I hardly ever use minions. Last encounter I made a pool of 'encounter damage' and 'daily damage' pools my monsters had access to. For a small encounter I go with 4 encounter, 2 daily. The...

Just up the monsters damage from the beginning. Most monsters in the MM are weak for their level damage. I have run them straight out of the MM and I have run them with increasing their damage. With increased damage, they become 'more dealy' and a good threat. Easy Easy.

I'll start by saying that I have never bought any product done by Monte Cook (exclusively). I have always felt, however, that he is creative and an innovator. It has been fun watching (with envy) his gaming career. What hooked me about Dungeonaday.com from the start is the concept...

Thanks! That is the way we ruled it after some discussion.

This came up in last night session. Target is marked by fighter, pc2 moves past marked target provoking OA. Since an OA is an attack, the fighter gets to make an immediate interrupt against the OA? True or False?

In DDI, I always open my monsters in TABS in my browser. Having a link for it is nice. No different than what Monty is doing. You hit it on the head IMO. What your talking about is an old standard. That is not meant to be snark.

I DM 4e and have subscribed. You could easily convert on the fly, but someone in the forum is already converting everything. This is going to be a great product.

I am an Old School DM. I DM 4e. The only other version of D&D I would consider running is the Moldvay/Cook (Basic Fantasy, Labyrinth Lord). I hate 3.x, never liked DM'ing it. My perception was that it was not 'Old School DM friendly'. I ran a 4 year campaign in it too. The fact that Monte...

No Cookie for the Pally?

Spending $7.00 a month for adventure ideas, encounters, etc. is nothing. It is a good at that price. I pay ALOT more than that for WOTC print adventures, my goodmangames subscription, and about as much for DDI. To me, hell why not? If it straps me (;)), I may have to have seven less sodas...

"Boobs of Elven Friends" "Book of Elven f&*^" "Biscuit's of Elven Flatulence"

Booze and Jalapenos, OH MY!! Whee!!! Damn the new GSL!! That means in addition to the thieves at WOTC, the likes of Clark and other 3PP are going to be thieving from me too. My purse will be empty, my wife will be mad, my players happy, and me out of booze!! Curse all the publishers!! Curse...

I'll get a subscription. I only play 4e, but it's the ideas I am going to plunder. Monty has always been creative, from USD to RM to now.

I think for the design goals they have set for 4e and the monsters ability in older editions, they have made the best compromise and still kept it's spirit. That being said, in my campaign I am going to reduce the amount of residuum recovered to about 80%, Chalking the other 20% up.

Great rules. You should own a copy.

I know for me, its a simple matter economics. On Amazon, I can buy a book for $21.95 to $24.95, at a store it is costing me $39.95. I am going to put the difference in my pocket instead of a strangers. Our gaming group has increased from 5-8 players to 9-14 due to 4e. Our group is a mix of...

Reload windows XP or Vista. Problem will be taken care of. Seriously, have you scanned for adware/spyware? Are your virus definition up to date? Does your virus scanner work? Do you have all the most recent updates to your OS? If wizards says your subscription is OK, I would tend to go...

I was in a Walden's book store in 1982 and the saw the Moldvay Red box edition of Basic D&D. I did not quite understand what it was, but I wanted it. Luckily, my mom bought it for me. I spent about three weeks with little bits of crushed paper and rolled up characters trying to go through...

Because d4's are so fiddly. d8 roll nice. They play well with others.

1-2 Does something against allies (DM Control) 3-4 Does something for allies (another player control) 5-6 does a funny no action 7-8 hurts self in some way.
