It's insanely overpowered compared to any other spell of it's level (or even higher)

Being as it is environment specific it will only happen if the DM puts it there.

No it's not. The death save count resets after a rest. It does not specify extended.

The combat isn't over until all of the characters are out of danger. If people are still taking ongoing damage or making death saves, continue the initative order until everyone is safe or dead.

Basically familiars can look like anything as long as they obey the basic mechanics and are tiny size. When in active mode they can do anything the basic rules for familiars let you do - it can go no more than 20 squares, it can see and hear. For instance you could make it go invisible, look...

It is powerful, but I doubt your wizard player only just spotted this. It looks to me like he has been building his character towards this exact combo :)

But your guy there with the weak defense has 3 other defenses that would be much better. The system is designed for any given character to have 1 or 2 good defenses one or 2 medium and 1 poor by default. You are working under the assumption that a character being easily hit on their worst...

CapnZapp One of the things you mentioned earlier that I don't think has been adressed yet is the fact that you mentioned that you don't have time in each session to run 3 or more fights, so you feel that you need to get to the climax "hard fight" quicker. Why do you feel that each gaming...

I agree 100% with what Draco said above. What you keep failing to understand is that just because you have crunched some numbers, that is not a 100% "proof" that the system is broken as you keep on claiming. There have been many other people in this thread stating the fact that they have run...

I think this analysis is why there are 2 camps in this discussion - the maths vs the game. Legions hold boiled down to that in the maths and dismissing it as a insignificant bump in the overall scheme of things vs Legions hold looked at in the game where it is a way to take a number of monsters...

What you are talking about here is nothing to do with the thread and everything to do with having a bad DM.

I'm curious if the OP has done this for all feats in the PHB and Martial power also, as long as with all of the powers. How much of the game is left to your players? The thing about feats is that they are a limited resource. I could understand being concerned about some of the mechanics of them...

Actually the game mechanics rely on the natural progression of the "big 3" - weapon armour and neck magic items. If you fall behind on these your characters will find it too hard to hit and they will get hit too often.

This is how we do it too, and it has been a revelation. Less bookkeeping for both the players and the DM, no more silly "give out xp but they are 200 short of a level, but this is a really good place to level up" situations, people who can't show up for RL reasons don't get left behind, the game...

If you had it so you can only use at will out of combat, then there are a lot of utility spells that have no use what so ever.

But in the long run it will work out OK. Sure right after they encounter Keegan 1 party member may have 2 items, and 2 party members have none. Later on in the adventure the 2 who have none get some items, then for the next while there are no items for the guy who got keegans sword until they...

The evil clerics really don't need to have specific holy symbols anyway unless it is for flavour. NPCs don't need to be geared with items to make them effective in combat like in previous editions. If they do have specific +whatever of whatever evil holy symbols on them that can;t be used by...

I don't think dwarves belong on your list there - their resitance to force movement and prone are great, and second wind as a minor is massivly good.

If you really think that adding an extra d8 to every attack of an area spell is not overpowered for a racial ability then go for it in your game. It is clearly meant to be something similar to sneak attack or hunters quarry extra damage.

Being "Marked" is a specific condition (just like slowed or dazed) It gives you a -2 to hit anyone but the person who marked you. You can only have one mark on you at any one time. Some classes (such as fighters) do extra stuff to people you have marked. Other stuff such as cursed or quarried...
