16 int and wis dragonborn controller wizard. Thunderwave is my best friend.

'Small Medium at Large' is the punchline of a joke and the title of a quest I'll be sending my players on down the line. A gnome fortune teller/mystic gets himself in trouble with the local thieves' guild and turns to the players for help.

Thanks, these are all great suggestions!

I'm developing a group of islands for my 4e campaign that exist in the Feywild but worldfall to the Thunder Sea just in time for my players to explore them. I have an Eladrin community ready but wanted another PC race to dwell there, and humans seem the best fit for what I have in mind. How...

You are exactly right. A web enhancement with some of these would be great.

My dragonborn wizards has done that twice- most recently just last night. He got back on his feet and ray of frosted a orc cleric, hastening the bad guy's end. our biggest 20 of the night was certainly our chronically-low-rolling warlock criting with his daily on that same orc leader. We...

I'll be 40 next year and have been playing since 7th grade. My first decade and a half I took a 'rules-light' approach, even letting other players make up my characters for me during the skills and powers era. Come 3e I made an effort to master the rules and had a very clear picture of them by...

I've run a few dragons against 1st level teams and it's gone very well. One dragon I reskinned as a large acid-spewing centipede - the vermin of an island-sized roc nest- and that went very well. A very intense fight that pushed the players to the limit. I'm eager to use more solos. The worst...

The link isn't working for me...

Also: "I think I just ate a bug." ;)

I took the grenade route for my BFG mod, but added it did damage to every biological creature in the room that wasn't equipped with a ID tag. The tags kept the 'bio-feedback' part of the gun from recognizing the good guys as living things. I think it was in Quake 2 that the projectile shot out...

Twice when Boggy the Halfling got 30+ on his bluff and then thieverey, I awarded him two successes. It was seriously cool when a newbie player came up with using his thievery skill to convince the NPC that you guys could in fact sneak into the lair. --Z

I was the DM for this session and it's great to get such detailed feedback! This was an unusual one-shot because it was suggested by some non-gamers who enjoyed the PA podcast so much they wanted to give the game a try. So I whipped something up that was lighthearted and filled with movie and...

All great advice! I am thrilled that my rapier-wielding dashing swordsman will have such control over the field. Can't wait to try this stuff out! --Z

I'll be using this room in our game tonight- the first 4e game I've run, and it will have an Indian Jones boulder in it! Sweet! --Z

My newly-minted 1/2-elf rogue has several abilities that allow him to slide foes around the battlefield. My question is, assuming a lack of cliffs or lava, what is the best use of this ability? My understanding is that slides do not provoke OA, so even if I slide a foe past our defender, he...

Thanks! I'm running my first 4e game tomorrow and I'm still a little disoriented by the new rules.

Hey all- Some monsters, such as skeleton warriors, have a marking ability. What does that mean, exactly? Do their marks have the same effect as that of a fighter, such as -2 if the target attacks someone other than them, etc? And where in the core books is this clarified? Thanks in advance, --Z

Thanks, all! All is well and everyone is doing great! After this week, I can add diaper changing and swaddling top my trained skills. ;) --Z

Thanks, all! I'm enjoying some coffee and looking at the boxes now! I'm off to the hospital now to help my wife with the baby today (so my wife can sleep a little!) but will be able to dig in when I return this evening. hmmm.. anticipation. --Z
