    [FR] The Harpers: not so good?

    Its been a long time since I dealt with the Harpers, but I ran them as antagonists in a game a few years back. IIRC, most of the shady aspects of the Harpers was because of Blackstaff and his boys, which is why they splintered off and made the Moonstars. Similiar goals, but theft...

    Favorite Fantasy Gods

    Wee Jas [Greyhawk] The Red Knight [Forgotten Realms] The baffling insanity that is Lathander/Aumanator/Myrkul Three-Faced Sun. I especially love LG Gods that want to destroy the world (The Dawn Cataclysm) [Forgotten Realms] Torak [The Belgariad]

    When is metagaming too much as a DM?

    I consider this not metagaming, in the way that acid/fire on a troll is not metagaming, its something people in that world just know from experience / common knowledge. If necessary, a VERY low knowledge check should make it aware that adventurers who are somehow alive and well outside their...

    Monotheism in a Polytheistic setting?

    Someone mentioned domains way back, and in my homebrew campaign which has a monotheistic religion, I allow a large pool of domains to the the typical clergy, but followers may also venerate a specific saint or archangel, which allows for more flavor-specific domains.

    Dynamic Dragon battles

    Red Hand of Doom had some pretty awesome dragon fights, IIRC. A bit lower level, I think, but a great one involved a canyon and a spanning bridge with the dragon around it, fully utilizes stealth, open spaces, multiple attack directions... the higher level one was a dragon razing a city and the...

    Class focussed on low level spells?

    What you are looking for is a feat called Arcane Manipulation, from Lost Empires of Faerun. As an example, if you had a 5th level spell slot, you could turn it into a 3rd level splot and a 2nd level splot, or even 10 0th level slots.

    Fantasy Baseball showed me 5E!

    Ah, but then you should also know that it is possible 4E was a fluke, and D&D will revert to the mean. AND, that you should never rely on small sample sizes. These are two essential truths to sabermetrics.

    Multiclassing Feats & Powers

    The way I saw it over on the WotC board and from the CS response was that you can essentially "refresh" your feat, however. When you retrain you can replace "Novice Power" that you took at 4th level with Novice Power at the level you are now, thus allowing you a higher level power from your...

    Monster Manual: What's missing which has impacted you?

    Seriously. Epic. I want Nymph in the MM just so a Kraken can eat it.

    Attack from two squares away

    Indeed, I think making prone, shifting away is going to be a common tactic in my games, though Im not sure if I want to remove its utility... I suppose they still arent able to use a melee power, just a basic attack...

    WotC_PeterS: Class Names| NEW: Rouse-ist parts of PHB

    Of gishes and arcane defencers and whatnot: Is 4th ed. language for everyone?

    I just wanted to jump in and say I think the term gish is more about the implication of using the term, rather then the term's definition itself. Gish gained popularity where? Wizard's CO boards. I would argue because saying fighter/wizard had the connotation of being plain god awful. Gish has...

    Flavor Change: "The Rouse"

    I heard the Rouse will dwell in the Mistrouse, or perhaps Umbralrouse. I am very disappointed its not something like the temple of Sk-ott R'ouzz.

    Realms Shatterin Events (RSEs) in your homebrew world?

    My group is in FR, and my group's canon has been sufficiently altered that the spellplague isn't going to happen. However, what IS going to happen and something I was planning even before the 4e announcement, but is going to mesh GREAT with the change over. Lathander's second attempt at a Dawn...
