Hobgoblins are still here, dammit, go away silly greenskins.

Wow, this thread has quickly changed into a discussion about oppurtunity actions, triggers and free actions. Should I change the title? Good discussion though.

Thanks Starfox, That's helpful. I will go have a read through that section when I get home.

The 3 attacks per enemy thing is quite powerful I think, how does this sound for balancing it out a little?: Change either: 1) Only targets one enemy so you can do the 3 attacks trick just to one enemy instead of all adj. 2) Make the free action an oppurtunity action thus once per enemy turn...

You fall into a 'stance' where you can make a free action attack until the end of turn if the trigger conditions are met. Which seems a little easy when immobilize/restrain comes into play. So it can be used more than once, I'm wondering if it can trigger more than once on the same enemy? As in...

Just had a read of this and I just want to get clarification on something. The trigger is "an enemy makes an attack against you, starts/ends it turn adj to you", so if a controller has managed to immobilize 2-3 enemies adj to the rogue and they all make attacks against the rogue, will the rogue...

With the cows gone its time to get rid of hobgoblins IMO. From an RP standpoint it's hard to get a monster race to fit in with a non-monster race party unless you design the campaign accordingly. From a mechanic standpoint, they seem gimped compared to other PCs due to lack of race feats and...

hoh hoh, time to have some beef burgers out of the minotaurs. Who's with me? *starts grilling a barbeque*

Er, don't know where you are getting that from. The only keyword that changes is Ranged to Melee, it doesn't change into a weapon attack all of a sudden. "When you use any ranged sorcerer attack power through a dagger, you can use the power as a melee attack. If you do so, the power’s range...

Its simpler that way, we still do if for 3.5e as well its just so everyone knows the amount of penalties/buffs flying about, keep in mind most of our play groups are 6+ players. Some of the bigger games has 3 DMs and 24 players in a single combat. We used to use cards for the smaller groups but...

Much as there is a lot of modifiers and the like, I always keep track of them on a whiteboard and who does them. Thus when it comes round to it I ask if its (save ends) for penalties or just end of turn for penalties/bonuses, then I just rub them off. For other specific stuff like +1 att with...

I do a similar thing though only with the 'boss' monsters they usually have wide and varying abilities that do stuff that the rules don't usually follow, including some auto-hit attacks with a special effect, most of the other encounters I run are reskinned things from the MM2 or DDI stuff with...

The cow people are still here, I say we turn them to mince burgers this round. I personally just find them a big muscle guy with an axe (#31945), and everytime I see a PC use one, its always the same build/style of play gets kinda boring.

Quick to the voting booth! .. wait a sec, *whoosh* where the ..?

If you are going into barbarian there are some good synergy to be had for sure. Hopefully your wisdom is quite decent then you can take the feat in martial power (forget the name) that adds your wis when damaging a marked enemy. Go into pit fighter for even more wis damage, then take the rampage...

We use tall counters for the players and flat coin like tokens for the monsters, using OHP pens writing on the top of the counters to show which monsters they are. We always have homebrew campaign enemies so as much as they have the same stats in the MM they aren't the same monster thus the...

Striker, always striker if not double usually triple. Though this year (campaigns are always a year for us) ain't so bad because there are 6-7 people in each group so more than one doubling: gp 1) Defender, Defender, Striker, Striker, Leader, Leader, Controller gp 2) Defender, Striker...

How does he hit reliably with int that low? Aside from some of the rules corrections as stated by other people; ways to counter this are simple. Dungeon with traps and enclosed spaces help. Difficult terrain and monsters with anti-teleport fields. Have a large mix of monster roles who are...

I have core sets 1 & 2, all the current power books and forgetton realms. I'm not too interested in getting hard copies of the dragon books or other fluff ones since I just use a DDI subscription to get the monster data. I only really get books my players would use for their PCs.

Cow men, be gone with ye!
