Others have already mentioned it, but the fighters ability to attack a foe that shifts is not an opportunity attack, so his ability to stop the movement doesn't trigger. However, those two abilities combined make the fighter able to stop foes or make them think twice about moving.

This example I ran all by myself to demonstrate most of the aspects of 4E combat as we know it. However, in an actual playtest that I've run I've used different color poker chips to represent bloodied condition, and players that can mark have their own colors. Plus you can write right on the...

Oops meant to delete the names at the top to protect the innocent. :)

I've edited and fixed some of the mistakes. And come on, tell me that a kobold charging at you weilding a child's torso isn't cool? :)

You are correct it should have provoked my mistake. I was thinking it was a close spell. :)

Doh! I was bound to miss something. :)

I should state that I ran all the players and monsters, to show my players (that live in different parts of the states) what a 4E combat would look like. So they can put a face to all the things they've seen.

Well it took a long time to type out but I wanted to explain things so people could see everything in context. However, having run several 4E combats, they run much faster than 3.5 and are much more tactically interesting. Everyone has a wide range of options available to them. The marking...

Round 4: Kobold Skirmisher: Okay the skirmisher is in trouble, but tries to use a minor action to shift around Kathra and into flank with the minon. This triggers Kathras’ Combat Challenge ability and she gets to attack the Skirmisher. Roll 5+6=11 not good enough to hit the skirmisher. The...

Round 3: Kobold Skirmisher: Uses a move action and moves up to Kathra and attacks with his spear. Roll 18+6=24, definitely enough to hit Kathra. Damage is 1d8. Roll 3. Kathra takes 3 damage, the first 2 points coming from the temporary hit points Erias granted her in round 1. Kathra is now down...

Round 2 – Reinforcements Arrive Kobold Skirmisher: Recognizing an experienced fighter standing in his face, he jabs out with his spear hoping to skewer the armored dwarf, using a standard action. Melee attack with spear is d20 +6 vs Kathra’s AC. Roll 8+6=14, not good enough for our poor Kobold...

For some reason I'm having difficulties posting a new thread. This is just a test.

Cool glad someones gettting some enjoyment out of the stuff I'm throwing up here. :)

I ran 5 players through the original, through all the encounters including a 10 round plus dragon fight in just over 3 hours. The combats flew by really quickly. :)

From what we know a rogue isn't able to sneak attack with a reach weapon. It may be possible by taking a feat or two. Unknown at this point.
