My GF plays solo. She is now a 2nd level Rogue with Jack of All Trades that has multiclassed into wizard for some blasting power. Ritual casting will come later. Lets her cover all of a parties main strategic requrirements except for healing. Eladrin is perfect for her. You can't look at...

I made the zombie minions way more scary and zombie like by making them bloodied first time they are hit, then dying on the second hit. I gave them zombie weakness as well, so critical hits kill them outright.( I also made critical hits let a player get 1 hit on an adjacent zombie too, as they...

You think two PC's are hard to balance encounters for? Try one! I'm playing with just my girlfriend. She is an eladrin rogue, just multiclassed into wizard at second level for more magic powers. She'll get ritual casting later to cover major party abillity requirements. But she couldn't...

I found Hong's interpretation made the most sense, along with the first custservice guy who said that you treat criticals as if you had rolled maximum on every dice. Hong argues that the only reason why the book says "don't roll dice" for the critical is to save you some time from doing a...

Streetwise skill checks allow for a PC to get the best prices. So barring owning your own business, there is a use for the skill that can translate into improved $$$. Having been to countries where everyone barters for everything and I didn't know how to properly, 1/5th sounds about right...

To James - for your skills some are automatically selected as trained, then it shows you the remaining skills you have left to choose.

I'm going to try this, but with a 1 player party. I don't want it to be 3 from 3 to be a complete success, so I'll try 2-3 successes as a win, 1 success as a partial win and 0 as a failure. It will probably make it too easy to partially succeed though...

What is the best way to update a character sheet version 1.10 to 1.11? ie. What is the best way to copy and paste the data across in excel 07 from an existing sheet to the new version? Is there a way to do it sheet by sheet, or are you stuck doing it cell by cell? Other than typing it all...

For balance it is far better to start the wizard off weak, then release utility powers here and there to give them a balanced level of versatility. Like those illusion powers they just put up the other day on the website - those suddenly make the wizard feel like a controller rather than a...

chain them up in the middle of a huge cavern, blindfolded, above a pit leading into a sarlac style monster. If they teleport, they still fall into a pit then into the mouth of a big eaty thing. The chain could be lowered into the pit unnecessarily slowly if the captors prefer.

Does the actual book list stormcage, a spellstorm mage attack 11 power with burst 2 as having a outer perimeter of effect of 16 squares? That's = burst 2 as under 3.5, not counting out from a central square as in 4e, giving a 5x5 perimeter.

It doesn't matter because you are always getting items from a spread of levels above your own. So you'll first get those +5 weapons a few levels before you can make them, so they seem special, then when you're at that level you're finding better things that you still can't make yet.

I second the nomination for the CharacterForge character sheet. It made characters far more quickly than I did, and when I thought it was wrong I realised it had picked up a few little racial features that I had missed myself. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=229672

New Zealand uses A4 too! I love this sheet, but the Attack tab is its weakest page. Oh, and the total experience on the first sheet doesn't link through properly to the gold and xp adventure sheet later on. Override works fine though so its only an issue if you use the sheet to track the PC...

The Rogue Weapon talent isn't included at the moment. (+1 proficiency for daggers) The increased damage dice for shuriken is manually chosen anyway. Warderbrad, I would want that altered spreadsheet for NPC generation, but I also want to keep supporting Matthias and Anna because these things...

Belorin, just type ' before entering 5/10 so excel knows you aren't trying to enter a date. It won't display the extra ' that you typed either. Thank you so much to whoever wrote this sheet. It is totally awesome. I love how it displays all the numbers added together for BAB and skills...

Joining two, the golden thorn? Last to invoke the platinum horn? This reminds me so much of Shadowgate. And it'd be how I'd do the use two implements thing - wizards often have cool glowing orb things on the end of their fantasy staffs! Ah the memories of old mac games. At least they just...

I think the Designers understand the normal skill system very well. But when you track the cumulative probabilities and demand twice as many successes as failures the math becomes very deceptive. From looking at all of these results I do feel there are hidden "grappling" rules buried away in...

My GF is going with Eladrin Rogue in a solo campaign. Build encounters with 1 opponent of the same or lower level, or 3-4 minions to start with. Go easy at first - there's no backup PC's to help out. Don't DMPC the party - she doesn't want to watch you play with yourself, come up with a...

I reckon the best advertising was the PDF leaks of each of the books. I've read all three now and I am very ready to play. But I had already preordered so that doesn't hurt Wizards. My estimated delivery is out to mid July now. But 2 of my friends who were complaining about the idea of the...
