    "Stop sneaking! They'll hear you!"

    That's helpful. If you now just would stop posting nonsense like this on a board about a game you obviously don't like, it would be absolutely perfect.

    Critical Hit + Sneak Attack?

    Sometimes you can make more than one attack per turn but you are only allowed to add your bonus damage to one of them (quarry and sneak but not curses I think). You might discover that your regular damage is enough to kill the enemy so you decide to not add your bonus damage to that attack but...

    Tactical Feats (for all classes)

    I don't know how many people would agree with you that this is the interesting part of a combat. If the enemies aren't dead when all dailies and encounters are gone... the encounter was probably too difficult. Making at-will powers more interesting through feats is a good idea though. Good...

    Martial Artist Feats

    But that doesn't help a creature that is larger than medium, and makes halfling martial arts just as strong as medium-sized ones. I also wonder about the benefit of versatile unarmed attacks?

    Martial Artist Feats

    A couple of new feats I came up with, for people who want to make monks or pugilists or something. Heroic Martial Artist Prerequisites: Str 13, Wis 13 Benefit: Your unarmed attacks gain a +1 proficiency bonus to attack roll. Your unarmed attack damage die increases by one size. Paragon Master...

    Some questions from actual play

    And saying that you shouldn't be a certain class or use certain powers just because your stats don't conform to the standard member of that class is a pretty bad way to design a game. I think the designers are smarter than that. I think they would explicitly mention when a power contradicts how...

    Some questions from actual play

    What should they call it then? Whether you roll dice or not, whenever you cause damage you add up every applicable bonus. I don't see anything that says that enhancement bonuses, racial bonuses, class bonuses or unnamed bonuses are only to be included when calculating damage under certain...

    Some questions from actual play

    So if you have a -1 Str mod, you heal your opponent? Of course not. And if you have a -1 Str mod but you have been clever enough to compensate for it by getting a +6 weapon, you don't suddenly lose that edge. The enhancement bonus of your weapon is added to your damage, just as when you roll a...

    Cleric With A Wisdom of 8 . . .

    What were those? I never noticed anything troublesome with sonic damage. Except that it was kryptonite for everything, perhaps. Was that it?

    D&D 4E 4E Sample Combat: The Terrasque

    I know it's a solo monster but I would probably still have included some lesser threats to draw fire away from the big guy. Some minions, a natural hazard (perhaps an ongoing earthquake that only affects medium-sized creatures), some flying artillery... Anyway, this is an interesting read and it...

    Core Handbook Errors Discussion

    Oh, ok. Nevermind then. But perhaps the guy who wrote up the list for what abilities goes with what weapons made the same mistake I did.

    Core Handbook Errors Discussion

    Perhaps they take Combat Superiority into account, a Fighter class feature that lets you add Wisdom to Opportunity Attacks. With a reach weapon you are likely to get to make Opportunity Attacks more often.

    Chariots of Fire - The beach scene

    I think it seems pretty clear that Slow means that you can't move more than 2 squares, no matter how fast you try to move. I would say that if you are Slowed you simply can't run.

    Amulet of mighty fist +3

    1 & 2: yes. 3: Not 100% sure but most likely yes.

    waking up in an occupied square

    So when you wake up in an occupied square you must either: A) crawl 5 feet as a full-round action, which provokes an attack of opportunity, and stand up in your next turn, which also provokes an attack of opportunity - or - B) stand up in the occupied square, which provokes an attack of...

    Evard's Black Tentacles get only one try?

    Things only get really out of hands when you have a Warlock with the invocation that creates Black Tentacles which also cause 2d6 cold damage to everyone in the area. And they can do it as many times as they like, all day long. My group houseruled that only one patch of tentacles could be "up"...

    Messing up Shelter From The Storm

    Things will be quite different with the party coming well prepared for a fight, and they will be level 6 or maybe even 7 by then, depending on how my side-quests work out.

    NPC Motivations?

    Thanks for the replies. This was quite helpful, although now I wonder why the Ragesians are cooperating with him. I'm guessing they have been tricked somehow?

    Messing up Shelter From The Storm

    I have made a different version of the npc in the end fight, since I feel that the end might be a little anti-climactic if he goes down too fast. If the PCs walk through the last act as easily as I suspect they will (their characters are monsters, really) I will consider using the updated...

    Messing up Shelter From The Storm

    Yeah I'll try to make this more apparent. The problem is that some characters think that the council members are idiots because they are trying to help refugees or deal with petty crimes when they have a war to run. I guess I'll have to focus my efforts on the characters who didn't laugh at the...
