    The Cleave Zombie

    Minion is a plot element, not a state of being. If you try to cheese it like that, the mega-minion becomes a mega-not-minion, IMO.

    D&D 4E Notes from the 4E Corebooks: Alignment, Monsters, Artifacts and More

    There was a Living Greyhawk adventure that dealt with a druid controlling a tribe of werebeavers to create a dam in the mountains and threaten a town with a catastrophic flood.

    Spells I Never Use

    There's sort of a mutually-assured-destruction truce among my gaming circles over Holy Word and Blasphemy. If the players don't try any tricked-out Holy Word shenanigans, then the DMs avoid doing the same with Blasphemy.

    Power attack with a bow?

    Functionally speaking, Manyshot is basically the same thing as Power Attack - you take a penalty to hit in return for dealing extra damage.

    Questions about Scorching Burst!

    With no saving throw, even. :)

    Your choices are Kill, or ... Kill

    When I played the preview events at DDXP, my DM said that any attack could be declared as non-lethal with no penalty (even spells, which seems silly...). Also, apparently it's the final attack that determines whether an opponent is killed or merely knocked unconscious.

    My XP at DDXP

    I think that was from an earlier version that was floating around during playtesting. My DM ran it that way at first, but later admitted he had screwed up and a crit was just max damage.

    Help! I need the wisdom of those who went to D&D XP

    The skill challenge was used in an encounter where the players had to run away from the guards. The party as a whole needed to accumulate a certain number of successes before accumlating a certain number of failures. I'm not sure what the number was but I'm guessing it was around 5. We went...

    Help! I need the wisdom of those who went to D&D XP

    It's not all that powerful, really. When I played the preview mod, I used it against a group of thugs. I managed to get a few of them to fall asleep, but the others were able to use minor actions to wake their buddies on their turns. So at most, it meant they missed a round's worth of...

    D&D 4E The 4e Mystery Race is going to be...

    That guy doesn't look draconic at all to me, but looks very much like a tiefling.

    It's October...

    It's not even noon yet on the west coast where WoTC is located.

    What the hell happened? RHoD (spoilers)

    The main problem is that he's a blighter, which is just a horribly underpowered (though flavorful) class. If he had been a straight druid, he probably would have been more effective.

    Two-Headed Spear (Homer)

    You gotta love the disc-like shuriken designed so that nobody puts an eye out... man, kids nowadays don't get any of the fun of playing ninja turtles.

    Archmage, with a crossbow slung across his back

    My archivist carries around a bastard sword. He's a bit insane, and tends to confuse readings from his gloves of object reading with his own past experiences. So right now, he's carrying around a bastard sword that belonged to some famous general, and seems convinced that he's going to lead...

    Gilligan's Island (updated!) CoC d20 - scheduled for Fri and Sat, come sign up!

    I'd love a spot on the waiting list - this sounds really fun.
