The fey pact weapon (minor action to manifest) is the blade of winter's mourning (rapier). The at-will power for it is icy skewer (CHA vs. AC, [W]+CHA cold damage, grants +2 defenses against target's attack UENT), which must be used with your fey pact weapon. And it does have "Special: You can...

WotC Premiere Stores are selling these now! ...just bought my Forgotten Kingdoms today. If you have a Premiere Store FLGS in your area, go get 'em! I have to say, I actually like that the basic rules and feats are repeated in this book so that a new player who just finished the Red Box could...

About the ad... ...I liked the tightened-up version of the fan film contest winner (I saw the original at the Game Day awards presentation in Hollywood 3 years ago.) But has anybody confirmed this is an actual WoTC ad? Has anybody actually seen this thing on Hulu, let alone old-fashioned TV...

Paying the price premium - FLGS I like having an FLGS with a dozen tables for games and events. I like being able to phone in an order and pick it up a couple of days later. And since my FLGS is a Wizards Premier store, I love the fact that I was able to buy my Player's Handbook 3 last week...

(sigh) Twin strike, hunter's quarry, lethal hunter... (yawn) I also think I get what the OP was trying to explain- that characters are pretty much written by the rulebooks once you've chosen your race, class and build. Once you've done that, your powers, defenses, hit points, and skills are...

Ask the players maybe- Maybe I should ask the players how they're still feeling the dramatic tension if they go into dying territory (increasingly rare) during combat. They're certainly not worried about being bloodied. As for stupid monsters, maybe I am holding back... I haven't had a bad...

Great feedback! Good point - the most memorable moments we've had is where the PCs wiped out a gang of bugbears in one and half rounds (the surviving bugbears ran for their lives.) Or where they saved the village from being sacked and burnt down. Or where an old enemy, Agrid (yes, the gnome...

Thanks- yeah, I've tried to play monsters to role. They hated shifty kobolds- until the two party fighters barricaded them off in every encounter, marked them, and smacked them down every time they tried to shift. Kobold minions got picked off by the warlock and the shooty ranger. (Stabby...

Nope Nope- that's not it, but I understand how my frustration in my post might read that way. It's actually that the players are playing well, and know that they can't die, even if they make a tactical mistake or two or have bad luck. Like you, I've had several battles that end with one or...

Great recommendations. And yes, it was a few sessions before we figured out that the three death saving throws are per encounter, not per negative hit point dip. My players are savvy, and the paladin and clerics wisely hold back a couple of Lay on Hands and Cure Light Wounds, not using them...

That's my point- it takes a TPK or a PC-DM arms race (where higher level challenges accelerate the advancement of the PCs in power and magic items) to actually make players worried in combat. Never mind the level and cost of a Raise Dead spell in 4th Edition (both too low), there is a scarcity...

Regarding OP and Wizard Versatility Back to the OP's concern, I also say go for it- it's not unbalancing. Here are my two house rules relevant to the conversation: Wizards, at each extended rest, swap one daily or encounter power for a different one. One Action Point may be used to re-roll...

Design & Development: Death Matters (article) Dragon 368 - Death Matters - Wizards Community From discussion above on the Boards-Formerly-Known-As-Gleemax: What a crock. Dying is completely nerfed. The single biggest problem with 4th Edition, above all else, is that characters NEVER die. My...

5 for Dragon (haven't used anything from Dungeon yet, but we're not rating that here.) I've already used Kobolds, FR conversion and Sidetreks for H1, Starlocks, and Cormyr (luckily, since the FRCG and FRPG were so craptastic.) More detailed region maps like that, please! Minus 2 for not...

I'm looking at Cure Light Wounds as a 2nd-Level Utility for Clerics: An Encounter Power, minor action to expend a healing surge to heal surge + Charisma bonus. Range 10. Compare that to the class feature, Healing Word, useable twice per encounter: minor action to expend a healing surge +1d6...

Boy, was this thread buried! I gave up after Page 15, and started a new one! The launch of 4th Edition D&D and the Worldwide D&D Game Day on June 7th is just a little over a month away, and thanks to Wizards of the Coast, deployed military gamers can play too, even if there are no FLGS in...

Raiders Stuff Awesome work! I like how you split these up! And they are a e-mailable size, so every DM we get will be able to have these at the ready as a follow-up or warm-up to the Game Day adventure! The key we'll have is getting access to color printers in the various locations, but to...

I am helping Reaper Steve with locations in Iraq. I'm looking for anyone interested in DMing, playing, or knows somebody in Camps or FOBs in the following locations (and you can add locations, too): Baghdad : Camp Liberty Baghdad : IZ (where I will be soon) Mosul: Camp Marez Basra: ...

I will be... ...helping Reaper Steve organize Military Game Day 2008 in Iraq. I've already DMed through Raider of Oakhurst, Second Son, Return of the Burning Plague, and Escape from Sembia (anybody have a .pdf of the Scalegloom Hall adventure?). I've already pored through every forum and...

Help with Baghdad IZ Way to go Forge! We've got southern Iraq represented! Now if I could just get contact info on the Combat Photographers mentioned earlier... Does anybody reading this have CURRENT points of contact for the KBR contractors that run MWR Baghdad in the IZ? I'm trying to get...
