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

    Hmmm but how to account for it, just whack +1 on to all monsters defences? Giving them more monsters and therefore xp would mean they go up levels faster and outstrip the moduled campaign which is what i intend to run for lack of prep time. I could just add in an extra monsters and not increase...

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

    1) Yeah thats why I said I'd added monsters equal to 1/5th of xp the encounter is worth aka encounters scaled up for 6 PCs. 2) Heh, as i said its quite true it may have made the encounters a little easier, i wonder by how much though.

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

    Right I'm DMing for a party, maybe foolishly I let the players have a 28 point buy, but anyway the party consists of 1st level Dragonborn Fighter / Wizard - Sword and board Tiefling Paladin - Cha - Axe and board Dragonborn Wizard - Orb - Cloud of Daggers and Thunderwave Tiefling Warlock -...

    Dragging a party member out of harm's way?

    I'd have to say that the character can get hold of another character as a minor action and then a move action to move the character one square. OAs are provoked from the player who is being moved and by the player doing the moving (remember its only one OA per turn so only one of them get hurt)...

    Only thing I don't like so far: Power Replacement

    Right so powers are replaced, for the following reasons :bmelee: so that the number of options are in a fight are not increased beyond a "managable" level. :bmelee: so that encounter powers aren't spammed every fight so that at-wills are not ignored. :bmelee: The demigod power is not...

    Size matters?

    I gave a set of magic boots to my players last night, off of a set of kobolds, they asked me if they were small boots, i said nope, hes stuffed animal skins in them and used leather thongs to tie them to his feet. Whatever you do, 4e seems to be of the opinion to make it easy and fun, don't say...

    Minions and Temp HP

    You could agrue that getting rid of the temp hit points isn't damaging the creature, the temp hit points could be part of the power effect, and that a monster wouldn't be damaged until their starting hit points were damaged.

    Rogue Sneak Attack in surprise round vs. Alertness

    I suppose its a good job that this will only ever happen if a PC with Alterness meets a monster with the rogue template added (not even sure if the rogue template adds "Rogues get combat advantage when they act before another person at the start of an encounter"), as i don't think monsters get...

    why are orbs good again?

    You can increase two stats every 4 levels so your int is improving as well, what other stats would a wizard need? The penalty from the orb seems to last until the creature saves against an effect, it doesn't even say it has to save from the effect that the orbs penalty was placed with. You...

    Best Party Combo for Newbies?

    Yup a Defender, Leader, Striker and Controller is what is recommended. So you could end up with, Paladin, Warlord, Warlock and Wizard. The no roleplaying experience may actually be a benefit as some things don't go quite the way they used to, alignment, powers etc. None of the classes are...

    Those [2 damage types] +1 damage feats

    As a DM it looks to be balanced fine in my eyes, especially with the aforementioned weapon focus.

    Hunters Quarry clarification

    I don't think from reading the Hunter's Quarry description that it needs to hit, if your attack did damage on a miss like a Ranger/Fighter with reaping strike, i'd say you could apply the extra damage. Or say you took cleave, you Hunter's Quarry the big bad, and hit the minion and cleave into...

    A talk on the concept of "failures" in a skill challenge (no math, comments welcome)

    I like this, this is good, maybe critical successes could extend the time limit by one "round". I can also see how it would apply with negotiating (the other side gets bored), running away from guards (the guards catch you), navigating a jungle (you encounter a monster), traps (the trap does its...

    Critting with a Vorpal Weapon?

    So what happens if you crit with a Vorpal Weapon. Vorpal weapon property - Whenever you roll the max result on any damage die for this weapon, roll that die again and add the additional result to the damage total. If a reroll results in another max damage result roll it again and keep adding...
