    How to hurt a party KotS style - Ginnel stay out :-p

    The most minmaxed stats i can think of are the warlock, 18 Con, 18 Cha, 16 Int I think, everyone else is more spread around. Dex seems to be the dump stat of choice, no ranger or rogue, Fighter with 12 Dex is the dex monkey... Everyone has a Con of at least 14, mostly 16s and higher, so they...

    Combat takes too long

    6 Players Wizard Fighter Paladin Warlock Cleric Warlord Our first two fights in KotS took around 2 hours each, encounters have been leveled up and in keeping with the basic encounter design. So pretty much our entire session for 1 fight, we run for 3 - 3.5 hours. Later, when the players were...

    Berbalang Nonsense

    I haven't got a MM on me but it says current hit points. So say it had 100 hp 100 1 duplicate = 75 75 2 duplicates = 56 56 3 duplicates = 42 Second question does it have any healing powers, because this may enable it to make more. 3rd it might have prepared itself and use a healing surge...

    How to simplify absent players characters

    My players are all reasonably intelligent and don't have a problem with playing a power on something, I'll point out to them if they are unsure of how exactly the power is used(plus all the powers are on index cards), i've let them know that if they don't turn up then their character will be...

    Regarding two weapon fighting vs archer rangers, twf rangers get the opportunity to get combat advantage via flanking, archers don't.

    How to hurt a party KotS style - Ginnel stay out :-p

    Well i ended up adding a Kobold Skyblade into the mix for the first wave and another dragonshield on the second wave of the irontooth encounter, and even though they didn't have all their dailies and encounter powers the fight ran very close, result dwarven cleric (poor cleric only has AC 16)was...

    I got a Wii!

    If you are looking for a sword-esque game thats rather adult themed, i really enjoyed playing No More Heroes (don't let the kids play it). Its not really that active, but it does use a few slashing motions and stabbing motions for controling the beam katana. Other good games i can recommend...

    D&D 4E Which role is least important in 4E?

    The Wizard doesn't have Scorching Burst, or Magic Missile, i think he may have gimped himself. It does however make him easier to hit which is nice and satisfying for a DM (come on you have to admit its quite annoying if a player skips around the battlefield doling out damage without any danger...

    Artificer Up (Playtest Version, not Final)

    It gives you hit points based on the damage you rolled for the spell ie, 2d10+Int, you only roll the damage once for aoe spells. So the enemies in the burst take full damage, the allies in the burst gain hit points equal to half the damage.

    D&D 4E Which role is least important in 4E?

    In the game i'm dming the character with the least impact seems to be the Wizard, apart from the fact that he anihalated the minions in an encounter with a flaming sphere, thing is the multiclassed fighter dragonborn is pretty much on minion wiping out duties as he can get a better position to...

    D&D 4E Experiment With 4E

    On a constructive note, the combats definitely are more interesting for players and monsters (at least during 1st level), everyone has options and the party really have to work together as a team to survive the tougher fights. When running 4th ed, to help with marking, quarrying and cursing...

    Artificer, Fighter/Mage and Master Teleporter...

    And from the eyes and ears its an eladrin artificer, i'm definitely liking the artwork. I wonder why XIII is scribbled on the shaft in the background.

    Residuum is silver

    Are you talking about blade cascade, sleep orb combo, twin strike vs careful strike, shadow wasp strike or another broken power?

    Paladin's Challenge Question

    I think your concerns are alayed by the fact that the end of your next turn is refering to the damage divine challenge kicks out, and when it talks about the duration of divine challenge is says

    Vorpal Uber Weapons?!?

    Is this a case of people taking preconceptions of other systems to prove RAW wrong? I'm agreeing with the smurf and jabba in reading and applying RAW but in my game i'll be breaking RAW and ruling the otherway ie, you explode every single plastic polyhedral that turns up max.

    Paladin's Challenge Question

    Re: Cabral's question about marking with paladin power As per the rules, I said that the player marked them giving the creatures the marked status as it doesn't say in the Power that it Divine Challenges them.

    [Help!] Stacking Confusion

    No matter how you spin it with situational things and stuff, a power bonus to hit is a power bonus to hit and does not stack, you haven't listed the types of all bonus' in your examples so without the rulebook / D&D insider its too time consuming to look up your examples. But its a simple...

    Why'd they change the Lamia?

    Hmmm using logic. Anime generation. Generation being a span of around 25 years? The phrase Anime generation indicating that they like Anime. I like Anime i'm older than you by one year, therefore you must have just missed the Anime generation, poor you. To get back on topic, i'd...
