    Things I don't like about the 4E DMG - part 1 of 1000

    Well, it's a 24th level ritual. PC: I wanna use Observe Creature on *blahblahblah* DM: *narrows eyes* He's warded with sufficiently powerful magic. PC: ??? DM: Read the ritual. Pg. 309 - 310. :devil: Honestly though, I enjoy when my players want to spy on NPCs and screw with my plans...

    4e Creatures, Not Scary?

    The thing I love about liches is you can hide their phylacteries in such wonderful places and in such terrific forms. Now they even take their items with them when they perish! There was something pitiful about a lich respawning with no items and an axe to grind. That standard lich in the MM...

    Inferlock Curse loop?

    The only way to do this is to not post (in the thread) at all.

    D&D 4E How to build encounters in 4e (aka Only you can prevent Grindspace!)

    The elevator stops working once the chains have busted, so if anyone falls off they won't get left behind. The dracoliches can use Horrid Presence and push targets they hit, so I'll be careful about sending PCs over the edge before then!

    D&D 4E How to build encounters in 4e (aka Only you can prevent Grindspace!)

    1. Agreed. I describe things almost too much sometimes, so the PCs should be well aware of what exactly is tossing them around. 2. The fall won't be too bad. You can only fall to the outside of the elevator, which is enclosed in a shaft of crossed beams. The fall itself will do some damage...

    D&D 4E How to build encounters in 4e (aka Only you can prevent Grindspace!)

    Top-notch thread! Everyone, consider your ideas straight up strip-mined! Here's an idea of my own: my PCs are about to fight 3 bone mongrel dracoliches on a huge elevator made of petrified wood. When a dracolich touches down on the elevator it will shift & sway under their weight, unbalancing...

    Mega Dungeon Idea for 4E

    Jekyll/Hyde thing going on there Psimancer - pretty cool. How about this: The Tarrasque is immortal - kill it, and it sinks into the planet, only to return sometime in the future. Say Demetrius "killed" the Tarrasque by first cracking its impervious carapace. With the aid of epic magic he...

    4e Creatures, Not Scary?

    Agreed. With monster rules being so concise and condensed, I feel my ability to create new and unique monsters has been expanded. As for scary monsters, my six 6th level PCs soiled themselves when they were thrust into an arena battle with 3 deafened displacer beasts and 2 harpys! Opening...

    Dear WotC: Please stop with the level 1-3 previews

    Well, the Invoker article isn't a "playtest" article like the Barbarian one was. I would like to see more as well, however. I always want more. ('~' ) ( '~') *sniff sniff* Is that... ninja? I think it's ninja...

    Not much interest in the Draconomicon?

    This! I can't believe the main art for the gray dragon has it looking AWAY from the reader! It's like a magazine cover showing you the back of a beautiful model's head. 100% fail. The book itself though is 100% win IMO. I'm heading into Paragon territory with my campaign soon, and the story is...

    How frequent are dragon encounters in your game?

    In 3e I used plenty of dragons - I played a lot of Eberron and Paizo adventures/adventure paths. Age of Worms had almost an entire adventure full of dragons! In 4e I've used 2 dragons - a young black vs a 3rd level party and an advanced young green vs a 5th level party. They both made for...

    The best Power in MP is....Warlord Utility 6 Power.

    Exactly my thought as well! Reminds me a lot of the tag-team cheese that was multiple characters with WRT. I don't think it'll ever get that bad though - Bo9S was newcoolfun and several of my players jumped on that ship simultaneously. I don't have multiple warlords or multiclass PCs in my...

    Draconomicon Excerpt: Frostforged Wyrm

    That'd be cool! Upgrade to elite/solo status, and every time it gets hit minions fall off of it!

    Have you bought the Deluxe Players Handbook?

    Watching this thread closely. I remember reading that errata was NOT going to be included in the deluxe editions... I would definitely pick up a PHB and MM if it included the errata currently available.

    Draconomicon Excerpts - Brown Dragon

    It's not really a new way to fly IMO. First, the dragon shifts a number of squares = to its speed, not its fly speed, so to me it seems it can't fly with this mode of movement - think of it like a twister that's always touching the ground. Second, it's a way to shift safely through the ranks...
