Lochlan, HP 22/32, AC 16, F/R/W 14/14/17 Seeing that the others have Kumar and Salashan well in hand, Lochlan turns his attention to the man who just shot him and throws his bola. Standard: Grappling Spirits against E @ L13 Attack: (1d20+13=20) If (20 vs AC == HIT) 1) Damage: (1d4+7=9) 2)...

Lochlan, HP 32/32, AC 16, F/R/W 14/14/17 Seeing Kumar jump up and toss Sandy overboard, Lochlan quickly backpedals. "A little help up here would be appreciated!" Standard: Escaping Shot Attack: (1d20+11=26) If (26 vs AC == HIT) 1) Kumar is Dazed until the end of Lochan's next turn. 2)...

I'll be out-of-town and mostly offline 7/9->7/19. Feel free to NPC me while I'm out.

Here's a quick rundown on the stuff I listed: Vengeance is Mine: Warlord encounter power, Immediate Reaction, you hit me, me and my friend each make basic attacks against you Barbed Baldric: Anyone Grabbing you takes damage each round. Knightly Intercession: Paladin power, Immediate...

There's two seperate-but-similar concepts here. Aggro and Aggro Management MMO's generally use a (mostly) linear system for tracking aggro because it's really hard to code solid AI's with a reasonable threat model. Marking is a form of Aggro Management, temporarily juggling Aggro values to...

Here's another thought: Put each PC in charge of a squad, but instead of clones of the PC's, give your players a dozen or so monsters to pick from to fill out each squad. That way, each player still gets a shot at being the "leader", and each player is always playing something they chose.

Instead of going to extra mechanical work to clone-and-spirit link the PC's, why not lay out all four tasks to the PC's, let them decide which to tackle first, and then have the spirit loop them back in time when they return from the first task so they can tackle the second more-or-less...

Then it's pretty easy to say that an NPC who hasn't taken any subdual hits doesn't get any death saves at all; that way you only need to track them for NPC's the PC's are actively trying to capture alive.

Or you could just use a Readied Action to shoot them when they pop up out of cover...

That's actually more reasonable than averaging as it both prevents the "loss" of defense value you'd typically end up with when you have a character who has high scores in both abilities for one defense (STR/CON for example) without overly promoting bizarre stat distributions. Once you ban both...

That feat really only provides a narrow window of opportunity that isn't already covered by "Ready and Action" or "Delay". I'm not convinced what it does is worth a feat.

Lochlan, HP 32/32, AC 16, F/R/W 14/14/17 Move: Wind the ballista Standard: Biting Swarm against Salashan at K9 Attack: (1d20+13=16) Miss Triggered Free Action: Inevitable Shot for Biting Swarm against P10 @ K11 Attack: (1d20+13=25) Damage: (1d4+7=9) Salashan & P10 take a -2 penalty to...

Then, for starters, make sure you aren't singling out Rogues & Rangers for hurt. If "faster" is what you're trying to reward, you need to base it off total Initiative modifier. If you want to add more unpredictability to combat: *Roll initiative every round. *Any time you get 20+, you can...

Removing Dex from +Hit and +Damage basically takes the Rogue (and ranged Ranger) class off the table while not even slowing down other ranged classes that aren't Dex-primary (Seeker). They simply won't be able to keep up, extra actions or not. Simpler solution: Any character who rolls 20 or...

Standard point-buy is low enough that your hero who is both Strong and Fast (or your Monk who is both Strong and Wise) just doesn't have enough points to also be Smart (Charismatic). Etc. In order to combat this I'd: *Give a blanket +1 to all defenses (sure, Heavy Armor wearers come out a bit...

Great! Now that we know what you're after, we can help. :) It looks like you're trying to use an additional save. I think we can get to what you want by making the Death Save more fluid. Right now, every time you roll a Death Save: 1-9: Mark off a checkbox. Three and you die. 10-19...

Lochlan, HP 32/32, AC 16, F/R/W 14/14/17 Move: Wind the ballista Standard: Biting Swarm against D at K9 Attack: (1d20+13=25) Damage: (1d4+7=11) Salashan takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls until the start of my next turn. "Keep him pinned, we've almost got him! Cliff, hold the stairs if...

OOC: I'm confused. Is the map up-to-date? It shows P3 as being adjacent to D.
