Which is probably why Tarantino used it. Either way, it's a cool power (even just to give as a freebie to players).

Thanks, fellow Ontarian. (insert secret Canadian handshake here and exchange bottles of beer)

When the EN Wiki came out and there was a 4E 3pp page, I used it to update upcoming products and such. Seems that someone has taken it upon themselves to do it for me and I wanted to know who it was to give thanks. If anyone knows who, or if you are the person(s) who's been updated the Emerald...

Gonna add that one to my list of Ultimate Gaming Locations. There's actually only three: the dining room in Casa Loma, the International Space Station, and now the cave in Vietnam.

Hehe, nice. Anything to slaughter and brutalize a minion, I'm all in favor.

I'm picturing scenes from Kill Bill, Volume One for both Who's Next? and Instant Badass... ...unless I'm wrong. Then that's not what I'm imagining at all.

I have exactly something like that for an adventure I'm working on and I trashed that city like nothing else. Now it's more of a village than a city (couple hundred people), but there are tents scattered across the main courtyard around the temple, which has been burned to the ground. The barn...

Cool. Throw on the fear keyword and I'm wondering about making the sustain be a move action or have a save in there to avoid this sucker be abused (from a DM's point of view - I'm sure players won't mind a bit).

Finishing Moves We've all seen our favorite action hero pull off a move to wipe the floor with the villain and this idea was inspired by Optimus Prime in Transformers 2 when he literally rips the face off the Fallen. That may have been motor oil pouring out of the Fallen, but it was incredibly...

Hmm, seems to have taken a week just to allow me a chance to post comments here. * I like the idea of the power vault's ability to neutralize specific powers. It could even be varied to nullify arcane, divine, and other types of powers. That's something from older editions I always liked...

Work is boring. Gaming is fun. Work should be more like gaming. Not Suitable For Work is a new addition to Combat Advantage, the free 4e series of PDFs from Emerald Press PDF Publishing. Every month will have a theme to which any number of brainstorming exercises will be made. Each week or so...

I would actually say vs AC so you can approach with your shield to block the needles. This makes the PCs deal with an extra attack against them every round and extra attacks if they fall prone. Or vs Reflex with a -2 damage for characters in heavy armor. Very cool description. Watching a room...

Excellent. For those of you considering a post for the paragon and epic tiers, I'm considering having both run simultaneously next week and have the third week for building an encounter using these terrains. As always, there will a variable to the exercise, but I'd like to see some full-blown...

Wild Earth: Any number of effects can be devised and determined by a random dice roll. Very much how chaotic magic has been handled in D&D for years. Zombie Grates: One thing which never happens to PCs anymore is having their equipment stolen. I just remember that one zombie in the original...

Or have the effect take on a Clusoe-esque quality. Every missed attack roll actually causes a chain reaction of some kind that ends up striking the original target. You swing with all your might and strike the adjacent wall, which causes a tremor in the dungeon's structure and a large stone...

Sporemine: The voidstone is cool (just for the name alone), but I really like the glass idea. I'm imagining a giant glass floor to fight on, shattering sections of it each round as the fight carries on. In fact, see some of my ideas for encounter below... malcolm_n: I'm curious how the mind...

NSFW: Exotic Terrains has begun (wow, does that sound more porno than is intended). We're going to handle each tier every week to keep a theme going until the end of the month.

I can't think of anything where tracking mundane items was essential to the game, but it's very possible given the system is designed as a realistic combat system. Modern settings would probably get more use out of this than others. How many magazines are you carrying for your assault rifle...

Exotic terrains will be the topic for July. Details will be available in the next issue of Combat Advantage releasing July 6th. Keep the ideas coming.
