"I'm probably inviting doom by mentioning it, but that fort is pretty well positioned to attack anyone trying to use this trail." Tana said. She was probably being paranoid, but she examined the fortification as closely as she could from the trail. Perception check to look around (1d20+2=18)

I wonder what that is? Tana muses. History check to see if she knows anything about the ruins (1d20+12=26)

I guess it depends on the implementation. The way 4e does it (where most races have one fixed +2 and one +2 where you can choose between two stats, except humans with one freely assignable +2) there's one kind of understated effect -- the stat range for 'normal' races isn't baseline-2 to...

I haven't read it over from beginning to end with a fine-toothed comb yet, but I don't think I'd veto anything out of hand (though I'd expect heroic characters; you shouldn't have a strong Positive relationship with an evil icon).

I'm ready to move on as well

I've got the escalation edition, but I never did get a chance do any playtesting with it even though I think it's really interesting. I was wondering if anyone else was in the same boat? Or pre-ordered the print book (I think there's a program out there that will let you get the PDF now if you...

I think I pretty much agree with the OP. If you have a skill system in a D&D-ish game, and you're not trying to balance all classes in combat ala 4e, then the skill system is going to be pretty integral to how rogues and bards work (and not unimportant to rangers and druids). So you'd either...

I think if you edit the first post in your own thread and 'Go Advanced', you can change the thread title ... No experience with epic 4e, though, sadly ...

See, I think playing D&D PC (i.e. a character who almost certainly will be fighting a lot) carries the expectation that they will be good at fighting. Whether they will be good by being good in melee or at range or by improving allies or hindering enemies is the only question.

I rather like warlords, but in 4e a Bard or Artificer or Shaman or Ardent or protector Druid will let you do without a cleric, too. If we can't effective non-magical substitutes for the cleric, it would be nice to at least get effective magical ones (which was only the case in 4e; in other...

"I'm willing, but we should probably look to avoid trouble for the rest of the day if we can in any case." Tana said. Even ignoring surges, Tana's out of dailies and has used some item dailies, too. If we find a good spot for an extended rest, we should take one. Tana has 7 surges left, but...

Tana thanks Rava for her help. (Start with 16 HP, 8/11 surges) Rava heals Tana (13+2d6+11=31) (now 47 HP, 7/11 surges ...)

"The troll ran off when all of its allies were down." Tana said. "Though he might have been able to take everyone who was conscious at the time. Another solid hit wouldn't have done me much good."

well, there's no penalty for failure on heal check in 4e, so...Tana tries to improvise some bindings for Jayce's wounds, and just might have done it right... Heal check to stabilize Jayce (1d20+2=22)

misread where you moved to

This is probably a bad idea. Tana thinks. She offers up a quick prayer to Host, envelops the hobgoblin with her Aegis, and strikes him with her rapier. minor: Mark hob 1 with her Aegis standard: Booming Blade vs hob 1; booming blade atk hob 1 vs AC; dmg (1d20+12=26, 1d8+7=11) Booming Blade...

Tana's not even unconscious yet. And she's pretty hard to hit. /only has 16 HPs left

I wasn't seeing a notification that this thread had been updated; sorry Ouch. She really hadn't expected that. Wary of charging into melee again, she tries to clear her head and throws her blade (magically augmented for that purpose) at the half-troll. standard:RBA with Farbond Spellblade Rapier...

Tana, gnome female swordmage 5 Tana digs within herself, and tries to use her regained strength to push her attack, but her rapier stroke is clumsy. standard: use second wind. free:Use Amulet of Life to spend a second healing surge. Tana regains 26 HP, and has +2 to her defenses UsoNT. Runic...

Does anyone have a healing power left? If not, I'll have Tana use her second wind and then use her AP to actually do something, since the bad guys may have figured out that if they keep trying, they may hit her eventually...
