    The "real" reason the game has changed.

    "That is the main thing about this "cool" powers, that they are prebuilt tactics that are supposed to help people tell a story with fancy cinematic maneuvers, but for others, it constrains them TO those specific maneuvers." The players can choose which powers their PC would like to use...

    "New Design Math" for Monsters....which books exactly?

    Quick question for everyone. I know in the Monster Manual 3 they revised the math on monsters, especially solos. What I am wondering is which other books use this newer design. The Essentials Monster Vault in addition to MM3, but any others? I was looking at the Underdark book and some...

    Fey hexblade question

    You are rght on about the two feats not stacking. I am really digging the hexblade except for a slight lack of some feat support. I am sure that will change down the road. But for the time being, anybody have some 'must have' feats for the Hexblade?

    Experience Point Award System for Exploration-Focused Play

    I would also add in my group that when RP gets going for an extended period say 30 minutes, I also reward that as if it was an encounter of the same value for their level. I don't want to discourage RP in fact it's the opposite. I really like what you guys are encouraging in your posts.

    Dungeon 185 - Bark at the Moon: Dungeons biggest adventure

    I love dungeon tiles. As a DM, I generally prep the combat encounter prior to encounters on foam boards with tacky putty. Nothing worse then saying Roll initiative! and getting all fired up for a combat, only to wait 2-3 minutes for me to draw a map. Sort of looses the steam. If I prep the...

    magic missile always hits again???

    I ran a delve where the minions in the last encounter had a very high AC. The fighter was tied up with the BBEG and the minions started to go for the party. Initially I was worried about the encounter. The other PC's aside from the fighter are well thought out but not optimized. Thy would...

    Can you recommend a good 8th level adventure?

    I will throw in a vote for Last Breaths of Ashenport. It has some horror/Far Realm themes that may or may not fit your world. But the adventure itself is great, IMHO.

    WotC CB Multiclass Feat Issues

    Question for group.... Have any of the original bugs been fixed yet? Are they doing this on the fly or will they do a batch of fixes and let everyone know when the bugs are corrected?

    Do you DDI?

    yes I am an annual subsciber from day one and plan to continue. Like others I have concerns, but not enough to warrant stooping my service. As a side note at the end of my last 4E session (our group divides time for PF, 3.5 and 4E) there was a huge stack of 3.5 books on the floor under the...

    Marking Miniatures

    As far as tracking goes I keep track of HP on paper and have the minis mentally recorded in clockwise position. So 1-5 on my sheet simply goes in clockwise position. Other DM's in my group use wet erase on our battle grid. For conditions I use colored paperclips and hang them on the mini...

    Ship Graveyard Dungeon Ideas

    There was a whole adenture in Savage Tide that deat with getting stuck in a sargosso. I went through it as a player. It was great. Had a bit of horror feel to it. Especially when the sun was setting and the Dm qued the music from 28 days soundtrack.

    Celebration party gone bad ....ideas?

    Thanks for the ideas everyone. My group loves to RP. So this should be good. I like the idea of rivals. Maybe a sporting competetion of sorts. PC's can participate with a skills type challenge, then things get taken up a notch. Now to do this in the confines of the rules and powers set up...

    Celebration party gone bad ....ideas?

    In my 4e campaign the PC's are level 10 or so. They have been invited to a party (birthday or some such major celebration) of an NPC wizard they have interacted with for some time. This Wizard is now teaching at the White Lotus Acedemy, he has grown to view the party as rivals, but is grudgingly...
