    Warlord: STR-primary, not so much...

    Yeah, this happens a great deal to the Warlord in our group. We all sympathize as there's nothing in 4e worse than using up a Daily at first or second level only to roll a 2 or 3. (Well, death is worse, I suppose...) The Tactical Warlord in our group is 17 Str and 18 Int. As for the general...

    [Ottawa, ON] Players seeking a DM for Iron Heroes campaign

    Hi, Myself and 3-4 friends are looking for a DM for a long-running Iron Heroes campaign with lots of opportunity for roleplaying and story/plot development. Talking to the other guys and gal, Saturdays are best for us. A few character concepts are in the bag: one wants to be an Arcanist*, I...

    Weapon of the Gods?

    Good call, and very likely why it's Melee Touch.

    Weapon of the Gods?

    I think the last few words of the Effect section of the power should help: "...until the end of the weapon wielder's next turn." I read that as anyone's weapon on which you've used the power (the range being any held weapon that is within your melee range). Personally, I think it's a bit...

    "How to run a PC quick, clean and effective - Forked Thread: (...prevent Grindspace!)

    It's funny all the ways people use to mark stuff. Our group uses thin foam from a craft store or Wal-mart. You can get a pack of like 21 sheets (7 colours) for $3. Just cut 'em out in 1" and 2"x2" squares (and people with specific size abilities like Wizard can have zone pieces). They aren't...

    Gambling

    Yup, I agree with Gruns (and, thus, Campbell). Use a skill challenge, with Campbell's outline of skills and their applications in that challenge.

    House Rule - level bonus added to damage?

    I've thought of this same thing myself - take more of a SW Saga approach. That said, you'd need to up all enemies' damage as well to balance it. Also, as some have said, it makes damage-increasing feats a little less appealing. What I might do is simply give a +1 to damage every 4 levels...

    Reasoning behind Extended Rests?

    In my opinion, no truer words have never been written on these forums.

    Does the Healer's Brooch bonus apply to the 1hp from Battle Standard of Healing?

    Yeah, the brooch doesn't apply a second time. There was a post on this exact thing but I can't search for it since that function is only available to community supporters. So if one o' them folks can search for this, they can link it. There was a good discussion there.

    Reasoning behind Extended Rests?

    Well, I'm a player in a 4e game, as well as a DM. I have yet to see the players call an extended rest unless they really need to. By "need to" I mean that most of them have expended their dailies, they're low on healing surges and/or it's simply night time and time to rest. I haven't seen any...

    Reasoning behind Extended Rests?

    As it's been said, if you taken an extended rest, you must wait another 12 hours before taking another. I don't see how 4e is "designed" around this concept. Certainly, it's a new addition - the idea of having short rests, anyway. Extended rests have always been a part of the game. It was 8...

    "Nearest enemy"?

    ...and should grant CA to every foe who isn't in the direction you're facing, I would say. If you want to go for cheese, punish'ed be thy name.

    Calirification about immediate interrupts

    Ah, sorry. I always think that the motion-stop effect of Combat Superiority is a part of Combat Challenge, for some reason. Just ignore me... :blush:

    Calirification about immediate interrupts

    Or by using Combat Challenge. I believe that negates the intended move.

    How should I pronounce Tiefling?

    1) same 2) I say "OH-tee-ug" 3) I say "SAY-ah-neen" 4) Exactly as spelled: Fal'chun 5) I say "Reegent" (like region with a 't') 6) I say "tree-ant" (said quickly, not like Tree . . . Ant) 7) same 8) same 9) same, though knowing some french doesn't help me in how I want to pronounce it: Bu-LAY

    Help with rules how to conquer other civilisations...

    This isn't exactly on-topic, but... Bayuer, how did you make that map? Did you only add a few things to an existing map, or did you create the whole thing? (I'm assuming the former but hoping the latter.) The style looks like 3.5 FR maps.

    How should I pronounce Tiefling?

    Yeah, that's how I've always said it. Forgot there was a WotC animation with it.

    Martial power - what's with the unbreakable marks?

    Can you type in the definition of an "unbreakable mark"? I don't have the book and it would be helpful for a reference.

    "Nearest enemy"?

    Then it's not the nearest one as far as the Ranger is concerned.
