Completely understandable! Thanks, Morrus! Seeing the stats when I came online today made me happy.

Whatever happened to this wonderful tidbit that used to display on the front page? I always kinda liked seeing the stats to ENWorld when I visited. Will it return?

Thank you, Riley, for directing me to this thread! I am definitely going to have to check out Wrath. It certainly looks like one of the best 3rd party non-crawl 4E adventures out there. I'm behind on my Dungeon DDI adventures, but I am very much looking forward to Piratecat's and Ari's...

How did I miss that?!? Wish we had a :rolleyes: icon. Thank you, that's perfect.

I have sifted through many of the publishers I can, since I am looking for something a tad more specific. I have the DDI, and have bought the 4E Adventure Path. What I am looking for are good, non-dungeon crawl adventures. Flavorful, challenging, but not simply location-based adventures. I...

I like Mearls. He's a great guy. Some of his ideas are pretty good, too. For unique monsters, though, and not as a general revamping of elemental resistances. The actual problem is that this thread is striving to find a mechanical solution to a flavor problem. Ice mages don't learn fire...

I'd like to reiterate the importance of planning and consistency. It does not really matter how time travel works in your campaign, as long as you know what can and cannot happen beforehand, and that you consistently apply those rules.

If it was an epic-level cutting-board, sure. Also, I have also been planning out skill challenges and such to emulate weak points in a colossus, too, making for a truly epic battle. Those types of challenges are going to be lots of fun. However, I'm simply saying that just because something...

Sometimes, when I get a paper cut, or prick my finger, I take a half-step back in surprise.

Both of which are encounter, not at-will, abilities. True. I just don't see a problem because1) the attack has to hit in the first place, and2) there are plenty of precedents for it: Shadow of the Colossus being only one example where a single hit to a vulnerable spot (ie, encounter-ish type...

Encounter abilities != routine abilities Higher level abilities != routine effort

A single bow shot knocking the tarrasque prone.

Yes.

Like... perhaps... a special ability?

Not regarding oozes, but instead larger creatures: Have you ever played Shadow of the Colossus? This is exactly the whole point: knocking huge tarrasque-like creatures prone before defeating them completely.

*Ahem* Skill Challenges info? Please?

Also, um... #2

Thanks for the Complexity mechanics of Skill Challenges.... But, how open-ended are skill challenges described? What are the options for running a skill challenge?

Here's my request... SKILL CHALLENGES! :) Are they, and can they be, as open-ended as some players have said, or how Mearls described in his blog? Does the system allow for everything between "the players must succeed at these two skill checks" to "players can offer the use of any skill...

My god, why is it so hard to find a good group? I live in the Arden area, and I'm looking for a casual group. If there is one already established that might be looking for a player, great! Otherwise, I'm also completely willing to DM a completely new group! This is what I would like to play...
