And also: Was one pc worse off as a percentage of their max hp then the other? It's extremely gamest to say that players have 3 states of health: Fine, Bloodied and Dieing/dead. Telling your cleric that she can never tell which bloodied person is worse off is saying she went to healer school...

21: Muscle memory 'circuits' You have programmed your body through constant effort to, at your behest, essentially auto-fire a particular maneuver. No two maneuvers use the same pathways through your nervous system. The more extreme ones burn out the pathways for a bit, sometimes even a whole...

They can look. Professional heroes can tell with a glance how well a trusted ally is doing, how their morale is holding up and how many mistakes they are making on their fighting. 4th ed characters are by-default cool like that. Getting the mechanics is a shortcut that many players take so that...

Hospitaler. Now the solo might as well throw out all his weak attacks or aoe's without horrible riders.

Magic can make a wound so powerful that even magic can't heal it. The only solution is more magic! Magic is like Chuck Norris, it can do anything, including stop itself.

Martial Dailies are either the player ooc throwing a "perfect situation" narrative control card in, or, alternately, using such a high level 'exploit' drains the fighter's 'martial' power too much to do it again. Just like every other power source. *goes off to make a martial baised doomsday...

Of things I played, Sorcerer. Though, I do admit, I like my shaman, though there is a specific house rule under effect that greatly increases the awesome of them. Namely, My character counts as an ally for effects that key off my spirit. Other than that? No, probably a terribad class that only...

I don't think player should stay down forever unless they really want to, but that's my opinion and all. Thing is, that has been my experience thusfar, with one exception. Death is a revolving door penalty box. The one time that wasn't the case, the gm was ACTUALLY trying to get rid of a few...

In my experiance, there is really little area between tpk and everyone is ok. Generally speaking, unless something contrived and/or targeted to a specific player comes up, everyone is fine or everyone is dead. I have only had players actually die-die when a leader isn't present or a tpk is...

Oh, it affects all swordmages. The warding class feature that gives you +1 or +3 to ac. You lose it if you go unconscious and it stays lost till short or long rest. Swordmage kisses ground EVEN ONCE and they are suddenly a wizard without a staff. Relevant text from DnD compendium, as I don't...

My group's apparently atypical level rate is once every 3.5 months IRL. It is 4-6 hours sessions weekly that get 1-2 exp-granting encounters. Thusly, just recently, one gm has doubled the exp given by the charts and another has gone with the whole once per 'adventure' approach. Still have a...

Wouldn't the loss of warding make it significantly easier to drop him those other 5 times? That usually puts the pain on any swordmage in my campaigns.

May I interest you in a nice game of Chess? More on topic, I won't play a game where you are genre-baised incapable of obtaining a Disney ending. Also! I don't play games where you as a player suck. Escapism and such. Similarly, I don't play high mortality rate games. I got a strong...

Primal Magic and Dragon magic Sorcerers. Magic powered by cha and str. I can't get the Armstrong family out of my head (from Fullmetal Alchemist) when I think about it. Rage mage being viable makes me laugh too, (thaneborn barb/sorcerer) Gnomes and Shifters(some kind of werewolf/catfolk...

Just the other day I got hit with an elite something that had a vs fort attack at will that was a blast 3 or so that did damage+ongoing 10+slow save at -5 to end, first failed save, immobilized, second, stunned. There was also a person with an at will dominate vs will at +21 when we were level...

You could give then regeneration that's turned off by martial keyword powers. That would be interesting.

V has made a rather egregious tactical error on the part of being a pc. You should ALWAYS be IMMUNE to negative energy/level drain/etc. This is even without considering that liches have really crazy amounts of it. I'm sure V will, if still alive, have to hang out at a planer bazaar with a "WTB...

LA races, largely. The blood war. Magical weapons with 2+ properties. In 3rd ed I nearly never had a more than +1 weapon, the other 9 pluses were all cool things. Flying forever (luckily sorcerers can do it in 4th now at 16th level.) Quick combats? A zillion and 1 different enemies instead of...

Unarmed basic doesn't have the beast keyword, therefore you can't use it whilst wild shaped. Multiclass druids run into this.

Also, if the fighter is outnumbered and the wizard is between 3 and 6 squares around, it's almost always a good idea for most monsters to shift out of melee with the fighter, (One takes the smack, as it's an interrupt and it's even less likely to hit then if they just tried to move) then all...
