Just use them when people are low on surges, that might change things, since you add extra damage when people are out of surges. At my table its surge value, because the 1 hp/lvl official rule makes no sense.

"I have got a bad feeling about this"

That's exactly how it works in 4e. In your example, the fighter would retrain his level 6 feat and grab a multiclass cleric feat (and thus a power) at level 7, then grab another cleric multiclass feat at 8 (and another power) before finally getting his 3rd multiclass feat at level 10 (and switch...

Dragons? Primordials? Other Elementals? Or perhaps something new, like Swordwings?

Yeah, that is a very good monster.

Seems we play our monsters in a very similar way. Do you constantly kill your players' characters as well? I have a fairly high turn-over :) I agree on this. However, in some twisted way, it's okay in my book. I think it's a good way to differentiate normal monsters from say planar monsters...

I agree on this. If you have two of them using smoke form (at least during the first round), who is going bloody the PC's? I can only speak for my own games, but if there is effectively only 3 standard monsters of equal level (assuming a n+0 combat), they will get shredded in short order, as it...

It does look interesting for sure. Worth noting that Smoke Form is a standard action, so the 2d6+14 damage is "only" every other round. Also, two of these aren't as effective regarding the combat advantage bonus. I think pairing one with a brute or a soldier will be much nastier :evil:

The troll has arrived!!!! (mostly kidding) In which edition of dnd that you have played, was the wizard better at fighting at lvl 1 than the fighter? Only difference in 4e is that it doesn't change. Wizards stays (arguably) worse than the fighter (although he does improve vastly) at all levels.

Hi Matt I usually like your work, but I am not sure I would want D&D to go the way of layers. I am sure there are lots of good arguments to do it, but to me, it seems like: more, more, more - instead of what it should be: less, less, less. If I wanted more stats, more skills, more...

Sounds easy. Definitely considering this.

Thanks for all the links. The HS:1 conversion has me intrigued, mostly because I really liked the adventure.. I might just do something similar.

So, after another tuesday night wipe, we have decided that the next campaign will be set in Dark Sun. I have the 4e books, but am curious of what else is out there for 4e. I have the DDI sub, but must admit it has been many months since I have read Dragon/Dungeon. In short, I am looking for...

As mentioned, you dont pay for it. Also keep in mind that a lot of us never read WotC boards, bc this is the true home of Dnd on the interwebs.

Correct

Only the first one has a battle map, iirc.

First one ended at 23, second ended very quickly, third is still going strong at 17. We play once a week for 5 hours, every week.

Definitely passing on this.

Anecdotal: of the two groups of 6 or 7 people I know, all have DDI, but only Two have visited the WotC forums. You are removed. Darjr of ENworld tested it for us.

Thanks for doing thid TerraDave. Your threads have been invaluable time-savers since 2008.
