The first interesting 4e thread I have read in a while. The thread is already long but I will add my anecdotal experience . I got into D&D with AD&D back in the day. I am not even sure if we actually read the rules properly but damn we had a lot of fun! When I moved towns at the age of 14 that...

Hmm ... buying boons... Not that keen to be honest. I would rather that you put a boon on your wishlist that you want and then it can be built into the story. That being said, the final reward should be able to get you at least one very good boon. I am not even sure if in the core rules you can...

Re: Dragonmark feats My view towards gaming in general is that I am fine with the PCs being powerful (optimum builds shall we say), so that I can really throw down hard on players, it feels tense, death is a real possibility, but players still manage to scrape through. This is fun for me. I...

The young lovers readily agree and begin to look around for writing equipment when Tiandra rests her hand on Juliana's shoulder softly. "Of course, you are right, the parents will be worried. Do not fear. We will contact them directly. The ritual will take a little time to prepare, but it will...

Yes, retrain anything you like (That goes for all of you). I think the boon in the adventure is intended for a lvl 9 or 10 boon, but you are now level 9, so I prefer it be an especially cool reward for you. In which case lvl 9+5= up to lvl 14 boon. A boon is basically a special magical...

WEContact I prefer to have everyone at the same level, so if you are levelling up, just stop at level 9 so that you are on par with everyone else, rather than a step ahead. Thanks. Also, as L4W is dead (we all agree it is dead apart from us, right?), I will be running the adventure without any...

As each of you drink from the fountain and make your minds and bodies are invaded by the unfathomable power of the Well of All Heal. It is difficult to describe how your consciousness expands and how your body is filled with a sense of undescribable well being. It is the briefest instant but one...

Maui's ears flatten at Menik's assertion that the closed doors simply lead back outside. The jungle warrior was not as clever as the wizard and had no reason to suspect the doors were a way in rather than a way to another part of the swamp fortress. Having finished his unsuccessful search he...

"Kutholiam, what would we need to do to open the gate? How many people are needed, and are there any special mechanisms we should be aware of if indeed we do try and let the army enter?" asks Relic. From the wizard's tone it is clear that he is hesitant to make such a play for the gate, at least...

It sounds like you did okay for having to share 1 PDF to create your characters and start PCs at level 3 considering you had to read many of those rules and wrap your head around them for the first time. Not surprising it took you 2 hours. It also sounds like you were fairly unprepared and...

I think the art is gorgeous. I am not seeing any awkwardness in her pose either. She is just bracing a heavy hammer ready to rip into action if needs be in my opinion. Love it. I am definitely going to show this to the dwarven cleric in our group. I am certain she will love it.

Maui pads into the lizard's refuge and begins sniffing about and pawing at the earth looking for any trinkets of previous dead adventurers beneath the surface of the water or buried in the mud. His passing does not seem to disturb the already muddied water somehow despite his massive size. A...

Relic glides off behind Daylily, taking a brief moment to refresh the flight spell upon himself. Before any doors are opened the old man bids patience. "We should wait a few moments to ensure the efects of that mind weakening cloud have left us all. We do not know what lies ahead, but we should...

It would also be an interesting exercise to work out how a 10th level fighter would stack up against a 20th level wizard supposing the fighter could get the jump on the wizard and have his full compliment of actions, using his most effective combination. What would his chance be to bring the...

I don't really know how I feel about the issue and how it lines up with my "play style". I am not even entirely certain how I would define my playstyle as I don't think I have ever sat down to analyse it on such terms. To be clear I am a big 4e fan, and only looking at 5e out of interested...

I am not a mathematician sorry- nor do I have enough information to even say that a spell like Bear's Endurance even makes it into the game. It is a rather iconic spell though so let's imagine it does. Would you not then agree that what I posted, given it only includes one brief reading of the...

I think PCs with those weaknesses will have to play smart and prepare fro the possibility that dangerous foes might be able to hit them where they are vulnerable. Wouldn't that make a spell like Bear's Endurance invaluable to a wizard with 10 CON to use when going up against another powerful...

Sorry, but this statement just shows that you know very little about art and colour. It is not an inconsistency at all. Here you go, rather than talking nonsense as though you knew what you were talking about, you can learn something new and speak with authority: Colour Theory Add me to the...

*Big Shrug* I have to agree with Umbran in wondering if the process of talking about the minutia of a new game system before the actual game is released leads to entrenched opinions/reactions to the game, both positive and negative, when it is released, and whether this can lead to a certain...

I think that Lem can now enter square AG17 where lizard is now dead. It will provoke AoO, but I imagine Lem's Acrobatics is pretty high so he will likely avoid this.
