What if your group is fighting in the middle of a crowded street? Having bystanders presents an added challenge as the PCs will presumably not want to kill them and just can't just throw around AOE damage spells willy nilly like they could otherwise. Whereas, the bad guys probably don't care how...

How would you make stats for civilians in 4e? I was thinking they should be level 1 minion skirmishers but have no attacks and give no xp since the good guys aren't supposed to kill civilians if possible.

What would happen if, say, a green and red ancient dragon share a lair? Are the regional effects cumulative?

That's the impression i get.

Are green hags really supposed to be only CR 3? They seem to have a ridiculous amount of HD and HP (11 and 82 respectively) for their CR.

What about if it's a final boss fight? I'd be reluctant then as that would kind of cheapen it in my mind. That said, if they already killed the actually final boss guy and just his minions were left I may call it.

meaning when it's all but certain the PCs will win but it's taking way too long do you ever just say "after a long battle you manage to kill (whatever)"? I do but I would NEVER do the same in the reverse situation (i.e it looks for sure that the PCs will lose so I just say "you all get killed")...

How about -1 penalty per 4 levels (to a max of -5 at 20)? Also what do you mean by Christmas tree?

Breaching Spell Benefit: You gain a +10 bonus to checks to beat spell resistance Special: A breaching spell takes up a slot 3 levels higher than normal Luring Spell Benefit: The target suffers a -10 penalty on any saving throws versus the spell Special : A luring spell takes up a slot 3 levels...

This is something that always bugged me. I mean, if there was a spell called "fire" I would expect it to be in the fire domain.

Cool. I was thinking about making a god based on myself (just a greater god though). Do you think I should or no?

anyone? *crickets

Weird question but has any one fought balagos in their campain? If so howd it turn out? Personally I hope he got soul bound or something as from the article he seems like SUCH a bastard!

I decided to change her a little.

I noticed none of the spells in 5e have alignment descriptors. Does this mean its ok for good characters to create undead and the like?

What level of artifact would the Infinity Gauntlet be? I'm thinking omnific or even metempiric since it allows you to kill half of the entire universe your in, presumably with no save.

I usually do since in a lot of cases the description doesn't do it justice IMO (a picture is worth a thousand words after all). If they aren't supposed to know what it is yet I'll cover up the statblock though.

Did Beefermatic get eaten by raagens?

I always figured mind flayer was a slang term an illithid is the proper name.

Ok, I am very new to 5e and I don't really get how skills work. If I understand correctly, you don't train skills or the like and instead just use a certain ability and say you are using a related skill (e.g make a strength check and say it's athletics). Also how do skills for monsters work?
