    How do monsters heal outside of combat?

    Seems like after every session, we run into another question we cannot seem to find an answer to. Thankfully Enworld has proven to be a great place for support. So here we go, my party was fighting a Young Black Dragon in their last session...after several grueling rounds, they hid behind...

    Ranged combat, or the lack of....

    In designing potential encounters for my players, I came across the Young Blue Dragon (level 6 solo artillery pg 78). According to its tactics, this dragon can essentially stay in air for its entire combat. Current Party level 6 party: Bugbear Fighter focusing on a Bastard Sword and Shield...

    Help! Monsters who Mark targets...

    I suck...I guess I didn't need to ask this question. Just looked in the wrong section, conditions pg 277 PHB. Thanks for the quick response!

    Help! Monsters who Mark targets...

    I was just working on a potential encounter for my campaign which is going to include a room filled with armored humanoid 'statues'. In this room will be a floating 'magical' shield in front of one of the statues. Upon trying to touch or grab the shield, the party member will realized they've...

    Ability bonuses

    +1,+1, +2. Or even +1, +1, +1, +1 (almost feels like it should belong to a human) Either of these would be wonderful to see. I believe +3 or +4 would throw off the balance a bit..but the above would work wonderfully for most classes. Especially considering the many feat restrictions and...

    Bloodcut Armor - Overpowered? Or am I playing it wrong?

    The jellies have an intelligence of 1. So I figured since they hurt the fighter before...they would stubbornly keep going for him rather than tactfully find another means of dealing with the situation. Also, in this situation he was blocking their path at a bottleneck point..so barring their...

    Bloodcut Armor - Overpowered? Or am I playing it wrong?

    Looks like we got the answer, pg 226 PBH under Healing Surges with Magical items. Takes a standard action to recovery the item for use after the first attempt.

    Bloodcut Armor - Overpowered? Or am I playing it wrong?

    The armor is below from the PHB: Bloodcut Armor Level 4+ This armor has a crimson tinge that flares blood red when its power is activated. Lvl 4 +1 840 gp Lvl 19 +4 105,000 gp Lvl 9 +2 4,200 gp Lvl 24 +5 525,000 gp Lvl 14 +3 21,000 gp Lvl 29 +6 2,625,000 gp Armor: Leather, Hide...

    Are Minotaurs underpowered, or is high-level combat broken?

    Our group has yet to hit higher levels (currently level 5)...but I've noticed that when you scale back the party to 2 or 3 players, that the encounters have so far become quite simple for the group. My group was made up of a fey based warlock and a controller style wizard. The warlock would...

    Rules Question: Rain of Steel and similarly worded powers

    Rain of Steel Fighter Attack Level 5 Daily: Martial, Stance,Weapon Minor Action Personal Effect: Any enemy that starts its turn adjacent to you takes 1[W] damage, as long as you are able to make opportunity attacks. I'm confused about exactly how this works and similar powers work. My...

    Powers that weren't as good as you thought or were better.

    In terms of feats, Improved Misty Step turned out to be far better than I thought it would be. My friend who is playing a warlock has made a lot of good use out of it thus far. As for powers, I find the Wizards Thunderwave At-Will to be worse than initially expected. Its hard to use the power...

    Secondary ability benefits - why the wizard inconsistency?

    Having no secondary attribute seemingly 'forced' onto the wizard is great. It leaves them wide open for various feat requirements. Most character builds have to forgo certain feats in favor of power synergies, wizards are really the only class that doesn't have this kind of pressure. Thus...

    Hand Crossbow vs. Sling

    The paragon feat Steady Shooter is about the only reason I can see wanting a crossbow over the sling. +3 damage is pretty significant and the 'drawback' isn't that bad. Still, neither is worth using unless you have no alternative.

    High to-hit ability stat at the cost of future feats?

    I recently built one (but have yet to play it) and I personally like this array: STR 16 (+2 racial)=19 CON 15 DEX 10 INT 8 WIS 13 CHA 13 (+2 racial) = 15 The reason being that I wanted a 15 con to meet the feet requirements for Plate armor and then armor specialization feets down the road...

    Dumb questions about Ranged Attacks and Damage and ranged sneak attack

    Thank you Harr. I didn't think of searching the index under basic attacks....rather I kept looking under ranged attacks and weapon damage.

    Dumb questions about Ranged Attacks and Damage and ranged sneak attack

    How do you determine a Ranged Basic Attack and Damage with a Longbow? How do you determine a Ranged Basic Attack and Damage with a Light Thrown Weapon such as a Dagger? If target A and B is flanking enemy x. Can Rogue (C) thrown a dagger/shoot a crossbow at enemy x from 20feet away and apply...

    What does it mean for monsters : Saves +2

    This is probably a very easy question but I haven't been able to find the answer. Lots of monsters have things like 'Saves+2' or 'Saves+5' and I cannot find what it means. Do I add +2 to the already listed Ref, Con, Will Defenses? Has the +2 already been added to Ref, Con, and Will and this...

    Playing an Evil or Chaotic Evil Palading or Cleric. Help!

    Thanks for the tips...it makes sense that radiance doesn't necessarily equal good but rather divine. On the other hand, it's also a 'variant' rule in the DMG that you can change damage types as I've been told pg 163. Evil Divinity. So all told, I'll just give the option to my player and let...

    Playing an Evil or Chaotic Evil Palading or Cleric. Help!

    Early on in the 4th edition process my group heard that there will no longer be alignment restrictions on classes. In the spirit of this, we have a player that has been planning to play an evil or chaotic evil Paladin in what is intended to be a generally evil based campaign for our first time...
