    Paladins and alignment

    I think it was Unearthed Arcane that had rules for different paladins, like, Paladin of Tyranny or Paladin of Freedom. I was constantly annoyed at the paladin issues, as a DM (go figure) so I eventually removed the alignment restriction (shortly after alignments became obsolete) and made them...

    Minions are:

    Maybe I misunderstood the use of "filler". They are, indeed, mobs that go down with one hit. I like the concept of groups containing a few, but very specialized, enemies, but removing one of them and adding some minions opens a new array of tactical possibilities. Maybe it doesn't fit demons...

    Monster Manual V if I remember correctly. It had different powers, depending the skulls remaining. With some power, it could remove the bones from someone (causing damage, but not very heavy) and then spit them. The writing for the Skull Lord is like 5-6 pages long, because it includes its...

    D&D 4E Italian 4E launch 7/8 June @ Parmafantasy

    Exactly like in Spain. I preordered the gift set from Amazon.com aswell. My friends got a low level of English, but we can work around that and it will improve their English. Now, it's stupid that French and Italian versions are being released in June and Spanish version has not been...

    Minions are:

    Hong is right. How are minions "fillers"? You are not supposed to fight just against minions, but against enemy leaders with minions and any other class type (skirmisher, brute, etc.). They are tactically awesome for those enemies, since minions will be soaking attacks and causing havok by...

    Leveling too fast?

    10 encounters, considering skill challenges count as one, and that we got quest exp, still means that leveling may be too fast in my opinion.

    "I add my strength to my breath." "Your breath is strong?"

    Do Dragonborns move away from the enemy to breath in? I like the idea of Dragonborn choosing the main stat for the breath. It's something more against the MAD problem.

    Excerpt: Minions. Go forth mine minions! Bring havoc with your 1 hp [merged]

    Xena usually one-hits minions. And it's so cool! Minions are a great addition to 4e and although I'm planning to keep my players in the dark, I'll describe the non-minions enemies as "fearsome". That should be enough to tell them apart.

    WotC officials: we want MINIS for the modules!

    Rogue powers, sneak attack and weapon selection

    Sneak Attack is hitting a vulnerable point. Why can't you do that with a greatsword? Blackguard had sneak attack as class feature.

    WotC officials: we want MINIS for the modules!

    I got my first minis last week (Dungeons of Dread initial set + 1 booster pack) and I'm happy with them...but unless I buy many booster packs, I will have to use Warhammer minis to compliment the other ones. I was checking ebay for single ones, so my players got a "personalized" miniature for...

    D&D 4E 4E with a party of two?

    I'm looking forward to those pages then, since my party will be composed of 2 or 3 players, no more, since one of my friends have said "no" to 4e. With the experience "cost" of enemies, I guess it will be easier than work around the CR. The possibility of self-healing for all classes makes it...

    Multiple attack rolls but only one damage roll is the way I will be doing it.

    Hiding the PHB from players - Cool or Restrictive?

    I think the players deserve to read almost enterily the Player Handbook. It's easier to explain and understand rules if everybody has read them. It's also easier to plan characters if they know what the future (or destiny) has for them. In my personal case, my players' level of English is...

    D&D 4E Chris Perkins announces major Eberron changes for 4e

    What's a drizzit?. I wonder if new Eberron book will come with further explanation of the Last War consecuences on people, not just the borders and countries. I mean, there isn't much information about which cities are in bad or good state or similar, only "This city wasn't attacked that much...
