    Infinite damage at level 1

    My suggested errata would be: The attack creates a zone in the space that the target vacated. The zone lasts until the end of your next turn. Any creature that starts its turn within 3 squares of the zone is pulled 1 square toward it or into it. As an opportunity action, whenever a creature...

    Is insubstantial a 'resist'?

    I would direct you to the sorcerer level 10 utility power, invert resistance where the resistance become a vulnerability. What would happen IF insubstantial would be a resist? Double damage? Since I'm pretty sure they would have thought of that little thing in a core book, combined with the...

    Infinite damage at level 1

    Here is the "official" custserve answer I received. Unfortunately, there isn’t an official answer for the situation you describe. I’ve passed along this conversation to the game’s developers. Hopefully, we’ll see an update or FAQ entry covering it soon, but until then it’s up to the campaign’s...

    Infinite damage at level 1

    Since the teleportation errata has been mentioned multiple time already, yes we are aware of it. That particular power actually ignore that minor setback. When you get teleported, you get to make a save. If you succeed on the save you don't move. But with this power, the ardent can just use...

    Infinite damage at level 1

    I think this would not be enough because the zone could still be beside a cliff/lava pit. If you teleport him there, he normally gets a save but you can force that save as many time as you need to get rid of the creature. I think the fact that it is as a free action is wrong. Once per round...

    Infinite damage at level 1

    While I do find the ardent lackluster, Wormhole Plunge is a daily that basically read infinite damage in a burst 1 centered on your target (melee range). This does not require to hit, and the target can save or not, it doesn't matter. This daily power as an effect line that teleport the...

    Character builder printouts help

    You can also save the character sheet as an XPS document. Just choose print, and instead of selecting your printer, select Microsoft XPS document writer. The file thus created can be opened in Internet Explorer and printed from any Windows based computer. The only problem is that on some...

    D&D 4E Miniless combat and retain tactical aspects of 4E?

    For my first 4th edition game ever, I didn't use a map or minis. As an experienced dm I could maintain a complete map in my head and still know where all those shifty kobold were, but only 1 of the 5 players knew what was going on. For another group I scribbled a map on a piece of paper...

    How to challenge a defensive party?

    The first thing I thought about to oppose this group would be grabber. Paladin are not trained in athletic nor acrobatic, and normally have -2/-4 skill penalty due to armor/shield. They just can't escape. Warlord might not be much better off. The only one that could probably escape from...

    Adjusting XP Reward for Terrain Advantages

    To come up with an adjustment in the xp value of an encounter, I would probably compare with traps from the DMG. 300 is a level 7 trap, 200 a level 5 trap. I don't have the Plane Below, but I guess that the advantage to the monster could probably be compared to an equivalent controlling trap...

    DM Monster Library/Encounter Builder

    Tried the Abyssal Ghoul again and still could not copy it. I edited the monster until I managed to copy it, and after removing every attack, skill, stat, language, keyword, aura, etc. I still could not. But when I changed his role to minion I could copy it. The same thing happens with all the...

    DM Monster Library/Encounter Builder

    I encountered a crash while playing around. Steps to reproduce: 1. Add a monster to the Encounter Monsters box 2. Without selecting anything, double click on the Remove from Encounter button. Also tried copying the Abyssal Ghoul Devourer and you get the following message: There was an error...

    DM Monster Library/Encounter Builder

    This application is really useful. I know I will be playing around with it. I didn't encounter any problem for now, and will be reporting back to you if I find any problems.

    Take a look at this Avenger and..

    As the latest batch of errata really affect the Avenger a lot, I suggest you go and read the document, especially for a LFR campaign. The short of it is take the improved armor of faith feat instead of the Leather armor feat since Avenger no longer can combine Leather armor and Armor of Faith.

    Chaos bolt: Max 3 attacks or infinite?

    Chaos bolt as a potential for infinite damage, spread about infinite target. You just need to keep hitting, with even roll, and no single target can be attacked twice. My personal best was hitting a spectre and 4 zombie with it.

    Class Acts: Warlock

    I know the first thing I noticed was the paragon feat that let you teleport the target 3 square per d6 of your curse instead of doing said damage. This is really useful and under the right condition (not inside a dungeon, not a flying creature and without high acrobatic) can lead to even higher...

    Fun, silly character builds

    I created a bunch of character for my players to use in a future game, and some of these were really fun to make: - A dual-wielding fighter with a handaxe and a whip. He could mark anyone needed, sometime marking 2 or even 3 target at a time. - A super lore wizard, MCed into bard for the...

    Plz advise: shuriken-focused character

    Don't forget that the shuriken is considered a light blade, which works with sneak attack and most (or all) rogue power. I had misread that the first time around and thought that shuriken were useless, but they are not. Also consider power light blinding barage, which I find really fun (throw...

    The Most Underpowered Class?

    Personally, I think warlord is among the weakest, at least at low level (never seen on high level so I cannot say). As a healer, they are the worst, even being surclassed by paladin in some case. As a damage dealer they are lackluster. The buff they gives are subpar to most other leader type...

    Sorcerer unfettered power

    All I can say is that the general response from the rest of the group is usually something to the line of : "Now this does not make senses!" And they say that whenever I do anything :) The first time was when I got immobilized, attacked and "fumbled" which gave me a save which enabled me to...
