What we need is someone with XSLT experience to write a converter from this XML format into RTF or something else usable in word processor applications. AbdulAlhazred mentioned something like this a long time ago. Maybe he has more time now?

Thanks!

I keep getting an error message as shown below even though I DEFINITELY have way more than 3 characters. I lost several posts because the web board interface deletes the contents of the box and reloads the page. Even Firefox cannot retrieve the post using Back. Another error is when I...

For the record: Note that the flavor text says "foe" but the target doesn't. I agree with thewok that things like this sound bag of rats to me. There are other powers that allow moving allies, so I don't see a reason to allow some special consideration on this. The follow-up question...

But maybe we'll see a 4.5E. Really, I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this possibility in this thread. Yeah, I know, no one wants to consider it. :)

I didn't say damage roll, either, but you created a new term "incident" and suddenly act like that proves your point somehow. I'd say that using the word "damage" twice in the same line makes it two separate incidents. Even in your explanation you create a new word "event" to corroborate your...

No, it's not. The confusion here is because you wrote it incorrectly. Count the number of times "damage" appears in the sentence and that tells you how many "incidents" are present. That said, I have no new arguments to make, but just making sure you're not trying to present a straw man.

A defender companion would be my recommendation, possibly with a standard amount of healing surges. Adding this character is definitely easier if you're planning on running preprinted adventures because then you don't have to try and rebalance every encounter to compensate.

Yes. It says once per day:

Well, there are a few oddities and/or seeming errors in it, so I'm not sure if you want constructive criticism of the custom monster or not. But, it will be difficult to review the revised shortened stat block without doing so.

This. However, you're a ranger. Why aren't you attacking with your bow?

And if you have resist 5 cold and then gain resist 5 all, when you fall into this pool of elemental evil, you take 14 damage instead of 19, right? The cold applies to one and then you can choose which to apply the "all" to, right? That really doesn't make sense to me. While I understand and...

That's actually a really good analogy and I yes I think that's what we're saying. I think you were right earlier and the interpretation on this point really comes down to deciding if the damage expression is combined or not. I'm arguing for only two types of damage expressions: combined or not...

As I pointed out earlier in the thread, this isn't necessarily true. Below is the wording from the compendium. It doesn't use the word attack until it talks about combined types. The section on not cumulative resistances also doesn't mention attacks, so I think your interpretation isn't...

An image copy is far better, too. Your workaround takes significantly longer and consumes significantly more space on the drive (making saving/loading and especially printing take a lot longer). I don't want to keep resizing my window to make copying the monster easier, as that means the...

The compendium has a little bit longer of a paragraph: I don't see any problem with it and don't count it as a fail. It is, in fact, a significant benefit over another class that doesn't have the option to decide which to use just prior to using the power.

Yes. And, I don't see a problem with that and it's certainly not way overpowered. It's rare that a power is written this way and it's a design issue of the power itself, not the resistance. Simply, just change it to "20 necrotic and cold damage" and it's fixed. Note that as the Jester points...

I wouldn't sign my life away on it, either, so the point is certainly arguable. The two places I checked were the on-line compendium glossary on "damage type" and "resist." However, I do argue that it does make sense. Specifically, that is not one single damage expression, it's two. It's "10...

mudbunny, can you specifically ask if it has t he copy image capability, so I can populate my own (personal) documents? I like multiple monster stat blocks per page, coupled with a lot of other encounter-specific information. I use these sheets to run my encounters and 1 monster / page is a...

Resistance works whenever you take damage, not whenever a power functions or whenever you are attacked. Thus, if an attack/power does 1d10 weapon damage and 1d10 fire damage, resist 5 all would resist 5 from the first damage and 5 from the second. This is merely an artifact of bad design in...
