    Dozens of Minions, Bad Idea?

    Yeah, a +7 Fort attack against a first level warlock and rogue will lead to that. The power isn't insanely strong by itself, but in that situation.... What were their Fort defenses? 12? How many minions were there? What was the total XP of the encounter? More info would give us a better idea...

    Dozens of Minions, Bad Idea?

    Well, 26 level 2 minions is supposedly equivalent to 6.5 level 2 monsters. And you had 6 level 1 characters. So your encounter was only one level above normal and came in two waves. That's not a surprising outcome. That said, I think using an encounter consisting entirely of minions is okay...

    Do enemies know they're marked?

    Yeah, which is why what you quoted only says, "aaa". I fixed it. Or are you trying to say that you quoted "aaa" in your original post? It appears you made a similar mistake to the one I did. I replied without paying attention to what I was replying to.

    Color coding for conditions?

    Just make sure that you're players aren't color blind. Or if they are, have them look at the tools ahead of time and tell you which colors they have a hard time with. Anything with a lot of shades of brown, red, and green would give me problems, and my CB isn't that bad.

    Do enemies know they're marked?

    Class Features: Class features are abilities shared by every member of the class. Some class features are powers that every member of a class can use, such as the warlock’s eldritch blast or the cleric’s Channel Divinity ability. PHB pg 52, emphasis mine

    Cloud of Knives kills minions?

    Gazebos are vulnerable to Picnic damage. This is important because they are immune to virtually everything else.

    Vorpal Uber Weapons?!?

    Good points. Btw, I included the d4 and 2d6 for completeness. And as hyp just mentioned, 2d6 is a valid large weapon. Future supplements may also include small sized weapons, like a small handaxe that would do d4. I'm also houseruling small weapons for small characters, too. I've got a...

    Cloud of Knives kills minions?

    Effects do lots more things than those. Read some of the fighter powers, or even Radiant Brilliance, the one I mentioned above. There is no set thing that effects are limited to in the rules.

    Cloud of Knives kills minions?

    What about Cleric 19 Fire Storm then, Radiant Brilliance 20, Paladin 19 Righteous Inferno, I'm sure there are more. I'm sure there are more.

    It's not my app, but thanks! :D ;)

    Cloud of Knives kills minions?

    Actually, they aren't. This came up with that Cleric power Seal of Binding. It does not protect from things like Wall of Fire. I don't have search so I can't find the post on here for you. For something to be considered an attack, it requires an attack roll, according to WotC. So, Wall of...

    Residuum is silver

    Me. And, apparently, several others that commented in this thread. I never said it wasn't important though, I just implied that other questions are more important. You don't agree with that?

    Vorpal Uber Weapons?!?

    Dang it, I just wrote a long post that explained everything really well. And then it got messed up somehow. a;djfk;ladsjfj23rerwjfoiafj Ok, let me try to recreate. I found an explanation that character maintains the relationship between all weapon die types as far as > and < at base, with...

    Residuum is silver

    You'll love this then, although it is somewhat obsolete for D&D. Gah, when they went to the new board style did they erase the image size limits? I posted the image in the link below but it was HUGE. So, I edited this post just to give the link...

    D&D 4E Heavy Concrete Data on 4e's Skill Challenge System (long, lots of tables)

    This isn't really the right thread for this. But can you be more specific, you're not really giving us anything to go on.

    Weapons and Size: Damage

    Thanks for your comments. I agree that my method is more complicated, but I'll take the little extra clunkiness for the enhanced balance. The average result from a d4 is 2.5, so 2d4 is 5. The average result from a d3 is 2, so 2d3 is 4. Plus, it helps that I have PCs that actually have d3s...

    Nobody else has anything to say about this?

    Residuum is silver

    That IS the definition of damage die that I quoted. That section specifically states that anything listed in the damage column of the weapons tables is called a damage die. "Damage: The weapon’s damage die." It then goes on to state that, "If the weapon’s damage die is an expression of...
