The Eberron covers were good, but that inside two-page spread was the real money shot. I hope that the LoB is at the center of a similar spread. Can't really tell since he's so "OH HI" in-your-face.

Wow, great cover on the ECG! Lord of Blades? Check. Winsauce? Double check. Even if that's a placeholder cover I'm in love! WAR 'til the day I die...

Ok cool, thanks. What's shock orb, again?

Check out Announcement: Experience Points at the top of the thread list, it has all the info. Congratulations on returning home safe btw!

I don't think you're missing anything. If you check out the gnoll article one of the feats has gnoll as a prereq as well as the gnoll racial power. This seems similarly unnecessary in that, as a gnoll, you have the gnoll racial power by default. Perhaps supplements in the future will expand...

Tonight the wizard wanted to attack an empty space with a shock sphere so that, when it exploded, it would catch as many hobgoblins as possible. Is this allowed? Our group thought it was fine, but I'm curious if the "rules as written" have anything to say about this.

^^^ Believe it. Dazed is no joke!

There's a mushroom mini? I'm in.

If only this were true... I will pick it up as soon as possible. Demogorgon only serves to heighten the anticipation!

I've found a lot to like about this book already - just started a 4th level genasi swordmage (I finally get to play!) and I picked all three of my items out of the Adventurer's Vault. I love all of the new types of items too, like standards and reagents. More weapons and armor is great, but...

I voted "Other." I've not yet implemented any concrete houserules, nor am I really using the 4e rules - I'm just going with what seems right and what facilitates gameplay. Once the PCs get to higher levels, smashing down walls with +5 weapons may be the order of the day. Right now, at 4th level...

I wish I didn't have to wait 7+ months for this! The more monsters I have, the better. I've fallen in love with how easy it is to make my own, but MMs always fuel my creativity!

It would be cooler if Icy Sweep targeted Reflex. It would certainly fit the fluff a little better. The two other 9th lvl daily spells are a lot nicer than Icy Sweep though. It really needs a buff of some sort. Variable Defense is sweet, IMO. I find it interesting/cool that the swordmage has...

Heh, that's pretty cool. I'm going to add this to my "List Of Things To Pull On The PCs."

Heh, that's a good idea: provoke the OA before moving so I get a chance to move. I don't think I'll be able to trick my fighter too many times with this, but you can bet I'll try. :devil: EDIT: And then, that one time he doesn't take the OA, the monsters will just stand there! *derisive snort*

Well for one, you can only take one OA per opponent's turn. So if the fighter manages to hit your ranged attack monsters when they attempt to back away, they can then just launch a ranged attack point-blank without fear of further reprisal from him. Also, even if a fighter has marked a group...

Actually, only one dragon has clumsy flight, and that is the Young Black Dragon.

Well the Goblin Hexer is both a Controller and a Leader. That seems to explain all of the abilities. Glance at the other 3rd lvl Controller (leader) monsters, the Hobgoblin Warcaster and the Gnome Arcanist. All of them share rather robust statblocks. I don't have a problem with this, as in my...

When I used deathjump spiders I ran the shift as optional - it certainly reads that way. During play I felt that the power would be more evocative if the spiders had to move before attacking to represent a powerful leap upon their prey. I may play them this way in the future.

I bought it yesterday and I LOVE it. Very thick and sturdy. The tables printed on the DM side are done up in 4e style with red-colored headers for each table - very easy to read at a quick glance. The info found on the DM side is going to save me from having to glance at the PHB for little...
