It may be something we didn't see -- wands provide +2 to attack, say, and that's already factored into the powers. It's a one shot, the rules are simplified and self-contained.

Welcome aboard! I too agree with FickleGM. While you're on the topic (and have admitted newness), everything we've learned about 4e before yesterday is compiled http://www.enworld.org/index.php?page=4e <-- there. Of course, this forum page is abuzz with the newest stuff. :D

Your kung-fu is weak! He set up an encounter with a solo monster 3 levels higher than the party, played it tactically, and proved that a DM who wants to challenge the party nigh unto death can do it without needing to break out the epic monsters. That's fantastic. Consider an orc (especially...

I considered this, too. I'm toying between two putative house rules, either recover 1 healing surge/day of rest OR count up number of healing surges used and, after the adventure, require that many days of downtime/healing/training. I like the second more than the first, because it allows the...

I'm with Derren. Even though I myself proposed exactly that system, I think waiting to houserule even this seems wise; it may be that one can spend an action point to maim (instead of kill) a foe who would otherwise be sent into dying; in such a system, this houserule would be unnecessary and...

You keep using this word "exceptional". I do not think it means what you think it means! :p

Synergy with Knife Eye Attack!

Those are solo monsters, you can make an exception for them. Wait, he's actually back. Does that mean I need new tags?

b), but careful where you toss the 'dim'. Either they can rely on you to remember which of the powers are boosted by which talent, or they can provide a nifty and helpful starter seed. Reread the article, they say as much :)

Er, and then paragon paths, epic destinies. Sorry about that detour into the game which shall not be named. I don't think you need to worry too much about those; I'm pretty sure they represent relatively few choice points along their way. (Watch me be so very, very wrong ;) )

So, do you remember the NPCs in the DMG? Or the PHB II's well received character breakdowns? Or the hero builder's guide, or the million and one posts on EN World? This is not new. Heck, it isn't even very new for the core rulebook -- we had the starting adventurer kits in the 3.x PHBs! That...

nevermind. Full of lies! Lies and calumny!

My, that is a pert question.

I suspect that they're Harry Seldon-style Psychohistory effects. Trust Hong. He's a statistician. (And, PS: You cannot kill an idea. Ideas are bulletproof.)

Blame the projection, not the character sheet -- the projection you're using was debunked.

HTTP 500 is the actual message you're getting from the server. While it's just this side of possible (read: inconceivable!) that it's something like your computer claiming it only understands Urdu and their server not having Urdu installed, thus choking and dying... ... far more likely is that...

Okay! Let's simplify all forms of movement! that's a really goo.. oh. You were being sarcastic. There's nothing wrong with saying "we want to minimize square counting in this game", in and of itself. While I don't think I need 1-2-1-2 to be happy, I can see why others would. The switch would be...

Because nothing that ever grew out of a farm implement could ever be a kickass weapon :) Just saying, is all.

Are magic items really both open and reserved content? Still, that's a mighty open book. Go monte!

:( No one commented on the pineapple descriptor.
