And under Scarytown? Lazy Town

What about the Daleks? (spoilers for old-school Doctor Who fans) Interestingly, this reminded me of the moral wrestling in an old Doctor Who episode. The Doctor ended up on Skaro at the time of the creation of the Daleks (for those of you unfamiliar, they are an alien being designed as a...

D'oh! You're right! I've been confusing those for quite some time now...

Since it says, "as part of," my interpretation is that you can replace a number of squares of the charge's movement with flight equal to your speed. I realize I worded that poorly, too... Basically, a standard creature's speed is 6. Charge gets you 8 squares (speed +2). This PP lets you fly...

Honestly, the lack of prereqs could be due to any combination of these. The real question is where to go from here. I'm more and more in favor of retroactively updating the PHB based on stuff in the PHB 2. I'd prefer to see stat prereqs removed for the PHB mastery feats.

Would throwing some sp count as an improvised weapon? :)

Sorry, not that familiar with 3.5 (jumped on the bandwagon shortly before 4.0, too short to really get immersed). What was the polymorph disaster?

Just to pitch in my 2 cents: I agree with the general sentiment about using updates more wisely. We don't want a 4.5 fiasco, so some judicious application of updates will save a lot of time and trouble, especially if they tackle these issues early. So far, this sort of stuff looks easy...

I play in a campaign with only 4 players, and of course 2 of them both wanted to be strikers. So we have no defender. Ultimately, it works alright. It takes a bit of tactical planning, but generally things work out well enough. We have a Warlord (me), a Rogue, a Warlock, and a Wizard. I've...

Interesting. It seems you find the Paladin boring because he's not a leader. Do you think this is a fair assessment? In that case, I wonder if you might also find the Fighter and/or Swordmage boring. After all, they, too, are (generally) more about debuffing enemies than buffing allies; the...

Yup. Not quite the same thing, but I was DMing a game with a swarm once. The Paladin DC'd the swarm, and it ended up killing the little buggers when the party's Rogue started his turn adjacent and was subject to the swarm aura.

Gee, thanks. :hmm: Maybe you're right, I'm not sure. But I think you're making assumptions about what makes a class "boring" without figuring out why the OP is bored in the first place. FWIW, I'm never bored to play Balasar of Azgaroth, Black Talon of the Honorblood Legion. :D Anyway, to the...

1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Not sure, but I've always though voluntary movement can be reduced to 0, so I would say yes. 4. No. Magic Missile can be used as a substitute to the ranged basic attack listed on PHB 284 (I think that's the correct page; it's in the Combat chapter). Thus, rather than use the...

I'd always recommend a Warlord, but then, I'm biased since I play one. :) Seriously, though, if you make one and go the route of "grant attack whenever possible" (which usually means Taclord), then the Barbarian's big base damage will really shine through. Still, though, something strikes me as...

I may as well offer a link to my houseruled solution to this issue (which reminds me, I still need to look into tweaking the suffocation stuff...): http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/245031-suffocation-thirst-hunger-disease-tracks.html

Ooh, I like! It also inspired me to think about a cube that tips over its sides for some purpose or another... not sure what that purpose is yet, but it got me thinking about where Medium-sized cubes could be found: as the playing dice of giants! Since I've last posted in this thread, I've come...

Just a quick suggestion regarding forum layout: Add a flag in each thread that indicates posts by the Original Poster as such. Especially in longer threads, this small bit of info can really help me discuss the original conversation topic. Thoughts?

I'd imagine so, and it's even harder to browse such items as a DM without any guidance. We currently don't use them, and my DM recently gave us a suit of Black Iron Plate Armor... NO ONE IN OUR GAME WEARS PLATE!!!

Well... yes, of course... Climb falls under Athletics, but I need to specify Climb in case someone has anything that modifies Climbing specifically.

Updated some of the rules. In particular: The attack is now a climb check, not a Strength attack. I'm curious to see how that plays out. You only do not grant combat advantage to the clung enemy, period. No armed/unarmed distinction. Enemy's grab reach is reduced. Shaking off only shifts 1...
