The power itself...... Dont have a book ref, but here is the cavalier previewhttp://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.aspx?x=dnd/4ex/20101022 Effect: You activate an aura 1 that lasts until you end it as a minor action or until you fall unconscious. While in the aura, any enemy takes a –2 penalty to...

The defender issue isnt an issue. Defenders aura excludes marked enemies iirc.

Personally, i prefer multiclassing to only be the dabbling or broadening. Turning point to me should just be a reroll. In my games anytime anyone wants to change classes they can, provided they work with me to find a good way to go about it. For instance, i have had a pc change from a druid...

Wow dramatic much?

At least in my game combat spells that a player might want to use in a long term manner we just treat as a ritual of the same level. Component cost and all. Everybody wins, even martial types, if they have some kind of utility or other power that can be applicable we turn it into a martial...

If your looking for something system agnostic and more of an outliner. Treepad or myinfo are great. Treepad lite is free but myinfo has somegreat features as well.

My favorite rules for mass combat has been hard boiled armies for 4e http://www.rpgnow.com/product/60728/OBE%3A-Hard-Boiled-Armies-for-D%26D-4E 4e is great for mass combat. All you need is a larger sense of scale. I hope any 5e rules take from these ideas.

figures that I cancel my subscription for the first time in 4 years and there is the one article I reallly want!

Personally, I wouldn't just include a secret door for the party to gain entrance, i would make the failure entrance but at a cost. perhaps they gain entrance but trigger traps, maybe gear breaks, maybe they unleash a monster. but I wouldnt just give them a freebie. There is nothing wrong with...

I prefer the term Failing Forwards myself. When I design my adventures failure is often the closing of one door and the opening of a window.

I find it funny your example of a wizard forgetting fireball... because that historically how it worked.

I wish I could xp you but +1 anyways.

one of the best resources I have ever used, I almost exclusively run my pickup games off of this.

Now with the OGL officially released I am releasing this sheet because it has alot of the UM4 information within it. I am continually improving the sheet and am open to any suggestions or fixes that may come up. Yellow fields are entry by the player, while most of the other fields are...

I keep hearing about this game how it's supposed to be some kind of 4e child but besides having Rob on board what makes this game 4e esque? From what im reading it seems to be more of a throwback oldschool game.

Im finding 4e to be quite deadly at all levels, my players just fought calastrix. Three headed dragon with a bite of 3d12+8 at 14th level!

Here is the thing though, using the term super heroics is quite misleading, super heroes are a bit of a genera flavor difference from action stars. While both are much bigger than life, super heroes are usually imo in the epic scale of things rather than the normal heroic scale. James bond...

Because 4e codified the combat encounter and the base monster math. A minion is approximately worth 4-5 standard monsters, an an elite is worth 2-3 standards and a solo 5-6 standard monsters. Monsters were broken away from the pc generation rules and given their own math.

Imaro You do indeed need to look at 4e creatures with a greater depth than just level. A level 4 minion is not > than a level 1 solo. Minions should never be compared against any other kind of monster except a minion. Unless you start adding more of them together. In either case, I dont...

so the player killed something with 3 hp left? im not seeing the anti-climaticness. it seems like you are the one who made it anti-climatic.
