    DM'ing is a skill, not an art.

    I'm sorry but I don't believe this applies to the DMs playstyle. You are essentially saying that you cannot describe anything unless it is relevant. In your world of GMing apparently I cannot describe the grass in the clearing as green just in case some PC wants to delve into the theory of...

    DM'ing is a skill, not an art.

    You are assuming that the DM spent a lot of time on a detail. It sounds to me like a couple players decided to pursue more detail. This an important distinction. The fact that the majority of players felt it was not worth pursuing further exonerates the DM of being some how "in the wrong" in...

    need skill challenge advice

    Although I have been playing 4E for some time now, I have yet to run a game. This is about to change as I am planning a one-shot game a couple weeks from now. As a part of this one-shot I have been studying and trying to plan a skill challenge. After thinking things over I have a plan forming...

    Swordmage 4e Your Experiences?

    I am currently playing a level 3 shielding swordmage and its great fun. Some good feats early on include intelligent blade master, and hide armor; I also like Bastard sword prof. Make sure you choose swordburst as one of your at wills, it is great when adjacent to multiple opponents. booming...

    Green Ronin's Book of the Righteous: any fans?

    One connection is that the BBEGod has an alias which has appeared in previous editions and also appears in 4E as a god for the first time.

    Piracy

    Just finished reading the thread, and it was a pretty good one. I would just like to point out that some folk are clinging a little too tightly to the notion that "its a law and if you don't like, then you should change it, but until its changed you should obey it". I think that there are many...

    Green Ronin's Book of the Righteous: any fans?

    This is an excellent supplement, and I have used it for a homebrew setting and would do so again in a heartbeat. The details about the individual churches and the divisions that exist within them (like Tinel's for example). The way they handled paladins was excellent. (each god had thier own...

    Who was the best Batman?

    Should we be voting only on the Batman performance or should the Bruce Wayne performance have equal weight in the score? Personally I thought that as good as Keaton's Batman was his Bruce Wayne was equally horrible.

    Which of these old school modules are worth getting?

    I have either played in or run all except the x series of modules and I think they are all pretty cool in thier own way although I wouldn't really say that I could run any of them without some tweaking. My personal favorites as a DM would have to be S4 and I1.

    Minion conversion rules

    How about adjusting xp if your changing a "normal" monster into a minion 25%? 10%? Why aren't there rules for this process?

    Minion conversion rules

    Thanks James. So to clarify there are no official conversion rules or template? Seems odd to me.

    Minion conversion rules

    Hello Folks, I am trying to locate the rules/mechanics for converting "normal" monsters into minions. I have looked through the DMG and MM several times but cannot seem to locate conversion rules or any kind of template to apply. Assuming of course that the conversion isn't simply set hit...

    one hit kills, unsatisfying?

    This is the bizzaro thing about minions. The 200 hp demon became a 1 hp demon while on the PC side the 1d10+mod at will has an extra die or two of damage added. The huge drop in hit points is supposed to model the uberness of the high level PC instead of what they can actually do I suppose. Not...
