    Suitable Miniboss for Level 6 Party (My players stay out!)

    I had this in the last solo fight I used against them, a modified dracolich that had four soldier-minions that it constantly reanimated. I thought I'd try something different this time, and the hydra monster type seemed like a good candidate.

    Whats considered to be an implement?

    Wizards are proficient with tomes as an implement, and you can use an implement in your off-hand.

    Monk Basics is up!

    Eh, I'm not sold on the idea. Since the Internalize the Basic Kata requires the Flurry of Blows feature, you need to take two other monk MC feats (one for Unarmed Combatant, and then one for Flurry of Blows) to qualify, and your reward is a weapon that's not even as good as a Gouge and the...

    Suitable Miniboss for Level 6 Party (My players stay out!)

    Well, thanks for the feedback! In any case, one of the main concerns I had was that the party I have has very limited access to fire/cold damage--they had more, but apparently the shaman has decided to retrain out of scorching sands for something else. As for comments on Acidic Fury, here's...

    Suitable Miniboss for Level 6 Party (My players stay out!)

    I've been trying to challenge my players with a solo encounter for a while, but I've always been falling short, for various reasons. In any case, they're level 6 now, and I was thinking about making a solo monster the "mid-boss" of the dungeon rather than the "end boss," to change things up and...

    Dragon #398 (April)

    This one is good because they seem to keep changing it. Some versions I've seen include: If both attacks hit, the target must save or die. If both attacks hit, your twin appears and uses twin strike on the target. The attacks daze (save ends) on a hit, and you can spend a healing surge as an...

    Robert J. Schwalb Blog Discussion; Feats: Do We need them?

    I don't really agree with the idea of nixing feats, and actually, I like even the straight-up "math fix" fixed bonus feats. When I am growing a character organically (that is to say, actually playing it and leveling it up over the course of a campaign rather than generating an already...

    Typical Healing Surge Usage

    This says to me the party probably isn't using their dailies aggressively enough. ;) You might want to encourage yourself and your teammates to use dailies, even when the moment isn't perfect--this could end up saving you healing surges in the long run! This is a good suggestion. In a recent...

    Class Compendium: The Warlord (Marshal)

    Nah, there's Destined Scion now too. Basically Indomitable Champion with an offensive focus instead of a defensive focus.

    Suitable dungeon "end boss" (MY PLAYERS STAY OUT)

    Well, they don't know it yet, but my players are going to have another old-fashioned dungeon crawl soon. The last solo I threw at them ended up somewhat underwhelming, as a level 3 party, they took off 130+ HP in the first round of combat with it. I'm looking to provide a more challenging...

    D&D Encounters Sessions up on Youtube

    I don't think World of Warcraft is really lacking in story, it's just most people skip reading the quest text and head right to the objectives, so they ignore the story. At the very least, it's gotten better over the years about involving plot.

    Multi-classing via Character Themes

    Not quite sure what you are referring to, but I'm running a campaign where I allowed the Dark Sun themes to be taken as a multi-class. They got the feature with the entry feat, then could power-swap with the right feats. I did this because I wanted to allow the options to players, but didn't...
