I think a fun (trans: deadly to PCs) way to handle the encounter would be to take advantage of the ettins reach, and have the swarm in a one square radius around him. Of course, you may want to give the ettin a net or whip so he can slide ranged attackers into the danger zone.

Context Alert! ;) Some folks seem to be thinking this means - "Necro doesn't like 4E" In fact, he's not knocking 4E - that's just what Necromancer games does - they help promote old-school feel under the currently supported version of D&D. Its what they did for 3E, and what they would be...

Love: Creativity over Crunch Hate: Controversial GSL

Kingdom ghouls art looks good. :) I'm sure I've seen that Dungeon Delve art somewhere before. Original PHB art maybe? :confused: The Eberron covers certainly reinforce what I don't like about the setting - sharp robots sigh...:yawn:

I'm experimenting with making "Action Point" an Encounter Power every PC gets. With an action point, you get a bonus standard, move, or minor action, or can reroll a miss on an encounter or daily power. Each character gets one action point to spend per encounter. The houserule is still in its...

Well, its grouped the way it is in 4E for the abilities' relations to defenses. Str/Con for Fort, Dex/Int for Ref, Wis/Cha for Will. Not necessarily better, just...more organized? Anyways, thanks for this generator, I always find a ton of uses for stuff like this, from pregens for pickup...

This. Most fighters will get 2 attacks from this Encounter power. A few fighters (with the prereqs) will get a third attack, and can apply it to a 2nd target if they wish.

maybe with Power Attack?

Yes, it would be nice to know what we are commenting on. There's a world of difference between a tennis club and a bondage club (usually). ;)

I think this may be about the same for me, if not two. We did the first of two "levels" in one session. This, to me at least, is a huge selling point for these mods. KotS, while enjoyable, took a bit too long to run for my group (6 sessions altogether?). I'll get to run two of these DCCs...

1.Reduce the number of monsters by a third or so (large groups only, like the kobold caves, etc). 2.Reduce monster hp by half (the party damage output per round is going to be about half, so this is very important). 3.Give the PCs a free 1st level magic item of their choice. 4.Cut out a third...

I wouldn't be worried about letting an adventure name slip, "shared adventures" is a big part of the D&D community (wanna hear how my character died in Tomb of Horrors? How many PCs Irontooth killed?), just try to keep the details close to your chest until they've played it. You could always...

A man, his wife, daughter, and pet dog pass through endless fields and empty vistas before abrubptly arriving at a country villa. Here they are greeted by a freakish manservant with hoofs who assures them the master is away. He discourages them from staying overnight but they are tired from...

The little kobold adventure at the back of the DMG isn't the most groundbreaking material, but it works well for introducing new players to the new combat style of 4E. I'll second Sellswords of Punjar, too. Cut the HPs in half to speed up play.

This is simply awesome...!:) I wish I could find B/X or 1E players in my area (beyond the occasional one-off) by they appear to have gone the way of the Dodo...:.-(

Ironically, 4E got my Thursday night group (which disbanded in August of last year due to 3.5 rules glut burnout) back together! So, no, we don't share that experience. Also, I've seen four very different wizards in play since May, not sure why you think the versatility is gone? Maybe you...

I agree with EB that a feat is too heavy a price to pay for a chance to do this. I would have it something like: "Once per day, you can cast a ritual you know as a standard action. The material cost is twice the normal cost listed." Or somthing to that effect.

Lets see, 8 players, 1 obnoxious already got the boot, and 1 "ultimatum guy" who says he won't come back unless the group size changes...looks like "problem solved" to me! ;)

You're Welcome.

To be fair, this is mechanics affecting your character concept.
