@IanB The problem is that they should only be able to be killed by acid/fire when within 5 squares of one another. They've accidentally kept the acid/fire thing on the first part, making the second part of Blood Bond by RAW not function any differently to any other troll. It's pretty clear this...

This is a simple monster presented on one page, with a reasonable enough story gimmick. I think the roleplaying potential and adventure set up here is worth the price of admission. Only problem is with the bound by blood trait, which is confusingly worded and doesn't get the intent of how they...

They could make Archon a race. It would have half the surge value and be vulnerable to fire. As a standard action (at-will), you can turn into a block of ice that means you get pulled, pushed or slid 1 square less than normal. This will be one of the greatest defensive powers in the entire game...

Plus the class is entirely suboptimal as a striker after level 5 and due to having no choices whatsoever anywhere, can't do jack about that problem unless you decide "Not playing this class" is the better idea. Also the fire vulnerability won't be countered by a cloak, you need to be entirely...

You know, I liked the adventure and its structure as well. I loved the creativity with how to stop the beast on its rampage - noting that some groups may be able to kill it (hitting consistently with Rotting Doom for example). If the adventure has a flaw, it's that it's very hard (impossible?)...

The adventure is designed well enough that upping some levels and damage by 2-3 will make it suitable for lower paragon easily. I do agree with you it could have done a bit better as a paragon tier adventure, but it doesn't dampen my enthusiasm for it in the least. Edit: All the monsters are...

You know, it's sad that a year ago I would have been out of my boots excited at the mere hint of this book. Now I just hope it's worth actually buying and not just leaving it to end up with the content in DDI. That's kind of sad for me :(

Force of Nature and the recent article on Kalidnay for Dark Sun just remind me why I actually like (liked?) Wizards and want to keep playing 4E. This adventure though is really neat and while I haven't read over it, my cursory glance through got me more and more excited. The adventure is nice...

Maybe he just likes to dance? Are you saying that Dwarves can't be good dancers? What have you got against short people huh?

No offense, but continually picking up your goalposts in an argument and moving them is far more rude IMO. You asked me to compare a warlord with a cleric out of the PHB and I did so, dismantling your argument. Now you're picking up your goalposts AGAIN and changing the argument, which still...

An all too accurate sounding prediction with the current "direction". What? Support a previous non-essentials class that actually needs it and that ISN'T a Warlock/Wizard/Cleric? Are you talking madness? MADNESS? Didn't you know nothing pre-essentials no longer exists to wizards? Best we could...

Considering how awful the binder in HoS is, I would hope they don't bother with a second one unless they give it some decent controller class features/powers. Right now, the Binder is one of the only classes that is worthless because it's original parent class does everything it does, with more...

That's exactly what I am thinking though, because the Warlord as written in the PHB is one of the strongest leaders in the game. If you honestly think you needed MP1/2 to make the warlord good, you never saw a mostly PHB Warlord using the likes of Relentless Assault (which was nerfed). Not to...

To be frank, if at epic tier you're fighting an Astral Kraken or a Balor, multiple enemies is irrelevant because those targets are so important you *need* them dead *now*. Not later, *now* because the more time you give them the more damage you're going to suffer (terrible terrible damage to...

Personally I think any DM should sit down and have a good read of what Wizards has done in epic tier. You have some really creative and interesting monsters now, like the immensely high damage Balor, the "I hate healing" Dracolich and the "I don't get dominated, but you do!" star of Ulban. Epic...

Personally I would change the race to Dwarf rather than being human. Dwarf gives resistance to various push 1/slide 1 and such forth effects that can rapidly make the knight irrelevant. This helps them keep creatures in their aura and basically enforce their mark. Defend the Line is the best...

It does actually vary. Sometimes a creature will be insubstantial like this, but at other times it will not have any particular insubstantial weakness. Personally, I just modify any undead monster with insubstantial to do this. Other creatures gain different vulnerabilities to cancel out the...

The beautiful thing about the Feywild (Also Shadowfell) is they are really close to the mortal world. It's very easy to implement them from level 1 in a campaign. Making them significant in an ongoing campaign to level 30 is impossible: There isn't enough worthwhile to use at that point. It's...

Then you need to read more of the old material on fey creatures, even from this edition like the Bramble Queen and the Prince of Frost. Both are very powerful and epic tier antagonists. Good luck making a campaign around them, because there is absolutely *nothing* to put with them except the odd...

You have no idea how much I would love Fey and Aberrations. It would be so much. Being able to run a campaign from heroic tier to epic, about the Winter Fey (as an example, they are pretty neat antagonists) or actually being able to use Mouseferatu's excellent Bramble Queen in a campaign? I...
