who's playing?

*Drops in* So whats going on?

I'd also beware the advice given on solos from pretty much everyone. Don't make the fight just about the solo, give interesting features for the players to interact with. Give coffins to hide behind or gain cover by. Perhaps a font of water soaked through with radient power that can be used to...

This thread amused me no end, I have the exact opposite problem, I DM and the wizard in my group has thunderwave, he uses it to only push things in a straight line away from him even though i've said he can zigzag it if he wants. chuckle, ain't life funny

I run my campaigns at a 3, no fudging of dice. The campaign i play in seems to be mostly a 1 with the rare occurance of a 5. The fights are either ridiculously easy or ridiculously hard and there are many things to run away from and there are no ways to ressurect people. All i wish for is a...

No you are right. 4e has effects that turn you to stone or kill you within 3 rounds of failed saving throws. It also has a death count when you hit negative, saving throw every round if you fail 3 you are dead, if you get 10 - 19 you don't get worse, if you get 20 or higher you get to spend...

Just mix and match depending on what you think the monster feels like at the time and what will make the encounter fun. If you think the monsters are getting all bunched up around the defender, and the skirmisher has been marked by the defender let it take the penalty and go diving for the...

As a GM i haven't really had a chance to look at the powers on paper before I've seen them in action. Good ones: Flaming Sphere - (Wizard Daily) Divine Glow - (Cleric Encounter) Combat Challenge - (Fighter Class feature) In conjunction with thuderwave and dragon breath Enfeebling Strike -...

Ahh good old "rock, paper, scissors, nuclear bomb" Like Ginnel said, if a dm dropped a bomb in the room and gave the players one round to get out of the room else everyone made a fort save or died, the players would not participate in that dms game for long. Whats the difference between that...

Well thats almost how i see the rules, i just think that if you have total concealment / cover when you stealth it grants you "greater hidden" until you lose hidden status via any method the rules state. This allows you to hide round a corner, then sneak behind the barrels up to the guards and...

It's also a problem the bigger the party, the more people in the party the more likely one of them is going to fail the save. Plus when you do get made to sit out seeing as you have tons of party members you're going to be out for a long time. Fights take around an hour - hour and a half in...

Hmmm at the moment I DM Tuesday 4e, play two different 3e games one on Wednesday and one on Sunday. I've been playing at least two games a week for the past 6 years, mostly 3e D&D, but we played gurps and nobilis for a few months.

I DM, but my brother picked up the core books which we share. I borrow mini's off of one of the players who runs a lot of 3e. I print out tiles from work. All the players have their own dice, whether they remember to bring them is another thing. Only one of the players has a 4e PHB so far...

Depends what you mean by a NPC like Naruto (seeing as i have no idea who lucario is). I take it you mean someone with an inner demon which helps power him like Ichigo from Bleach. As has been pointed out, don't let the npc steal the show. I reckon getting the characters attached to the npc and...

I have to agree with Derren here, you can completely remove all fluff associated with any class and replace it with your own. 4e uses the insubstantial effect for ethereal beings, it means you take 1/2 effect from all damage, if you use that as the manifested state then you could easily create...

Forked from: DM advise for an all-striker party? So to open up a debate on forming parties. When I told my players I was going to run 4e I told them that I would like a balanced party. I had 5 players Two had opted for defenders, One striker and One controller, I told the 5th player more...

Lets see, the party i DM for is Fighter / Multi Wizard Paladin / Cha Warlord / Multi Paladin Cleric / Str Warlock / Infernal Wizard When they start fights they tend to have the wall of steel at the front, Paladin and Fighter, when you have a ton of steel charging at you, you are generally...

I've read the thread a couple of times now, i think you are both arguing about two different points. One is coming from a 3e perspective where every class had a different progression table, hence every class was different. In 4e everyone has the same progression hence ever class is the same...

Thats because with fighting with two weapons you don't have the advantage of doing more damage with a two handed weapon or the AC benefit of using a shield. Two weapon defence gives you the bonus of a light shield to AC. Two weapon fighting gives you the bonus of a versatile weapon. Neither...
