So, leaving aside the fact that it was done wrong, 12 elite level 6 monsters (which includes regular monsters with a class template) is (DMG p56) a Level 15 encounter for 5 players, or a Level 16 or 17 encounter for 4 players. A "hard" encounter is described as one 2 to 4 levels above the...

The problem here is: the way Rage Strike is presented, it's easy to mistake to for THE barbarian rage ability. As well-explained everywhere, it's clearly not — but since it's the first thing you see when looking for class crunch, it's easy to get confused as the original poster in this thread...

But that takes away the entire point of Rage Strike's existence in the first place. Better to just drop the feature.

Hmmm — that might make it worthwhile. But, it doesn't seem to say that the effect is until the rage ends. It's just one attack.

I like the Rampage class feature — crits are extra-cool for barbarians. My first impression of the Rage Strike feature (use up one of your dailies for a kinda flavorless attack that does a lot of damage) is kinda negative. I guess it gives you something to do if you 1) know the adventuring day...

Ooh, I hope it is wisdom. I really liked that idea from the house rules forum here.

And so if you're the GM, just let players take 20 when they might be able to do that. Like, say, opening a lock when you've got several minutes to work at it.

Maybe I'm being a bit dense, but: what is the "Attacks" column on the Weapons page? Everything there by default except hammer says "2".

I think ee sounds silly when it's emphasized jenna-SEE, but could work pretty well with the n belonging to the second syllable and emphasized as je-NAHsee or even hard-g geh-NAHsee.

It looked okay, but I'm not so interested in the whole demon-war thing for my campaign. I hope that this is just a random example and the whole book isn't dominated by that.

So far my players have done five to six encounters per adventuring day. This is in contrast with two or three (or sometimes just one) with the same group in 3E. So I'd say it's working. It has the odd effect that the characters level every other day in-game. But best not think too hard about...

I never even considered subscribing to Dragon or Dungeon in 3.x days (and I'd seen plenty of it from the DM in a previous game). It just didn't have a high percentage of solid, usable material. So far, the 4E version has had at least one and usually two really solid articles every month. That's...

Flatly, I don't think they're priced reasonably. The three core books are 36% more expensive than I paid for the paper copies. Including shipping. That's a hard purchase to explain to a skeptical spouse. I would really like to see the option of having a discount for people who purchased the...

Thanks for taking the time to answer in this thread. Since you've asked not to be spammed with e-mail I hope my request will be taken seriously here. It feels to me that with the pricing chosen, the PDFs are set up to fail, and I don't want to see that happen. So, as a customer I'm asking for...

I got that response especially from the old-school players in my group when they were reading the PH. But it hasn't come up in game, because 1) I've gone to a bit of effort to make sure every magic item encountered has at least some unique flavor and 2) the Adventurer's Vault has some really...

This. Except I voted "other".

The 4E game I'm running just got to player level 2. I'm a bit relieved, because encounter design has been hard to this point for exactly that reason. And at level 2 there's still not very much flexibility — most opponents are just gonna be higher level. I wish the MM had a few more interesting...

In addition to the good stuff above, I'd add: the acrobatic stunt thing implies to me some sort of cool use of the environment. Swinging from a vine, catapulting off a springboard, etc. If it's just "I'm in the middle of the battlefield and I want to get past those guys", I'd set the DC much harder.

Scott, the need isn't for "an update". It's for a commitment to continuing regular and timely updates as errata are released. That's the big value-add the PDF versions can offer to someone who already owns a copy of the content in paper books. Since the price-of-a-coffee-more plan was dropped...
