IMX, if the PCs don't notice the healing surge loss. Chipping away at the healing surges invokes the resource management play that doesn't really mesh with PSF. How differently will they engage your encounter if they are light a few surges? My guess would be they would fight your monsters/NPCs...

I agree with Nemesis Destiny. This thread got back to being fantastic. Good job to yall. I also didn't realize this is what I was doing in my game, but it pretty clearly is. I've become more explicit about it since I started reading this thread. We banter and RP between my scenes, and how that...

The group sails into the port city of Vralkek. It's run by a fire giant from Xendrik. It's a crazy monster city, with ogres and trolls for town watch, and everyone beats up anyone smaller than them. Goblins have it the worst. And for a small sum, you can purchase The Law, and you are entitled to...

The Eye showed the Prophet a hidden laboratory deep in the cogs, where the Hand of the Forgotten One was strapped into an eldritch machine. It was snatching souls from the afterlife and putting them in warforged (walking jars!). So naturally the band went in search of said hidden laboratory. It...

Due to the numerous provocations, the Boromar clan attacks the group as they head home from establishing the church and the restaurant. Naturally, the halfling mafia brought dinosaurs - velociraptors and pterodactyls. And a bunch of thugs that were trying out for made man status. Halfling...

I've gone a step further in my game. My players tell me when they've leveled up, then they level up together. All I do is salute and build next session's encounters with a bigger budget. PS

How do I unsubscribe from a thread? I can't seem to find that option under settings nor in the individual threads. Thanks for the info on how to change the default tho. PS

I'm pretty sure the only product I've purchased in the last year has been my DDI subscription. Oh, and some FASA Star Trek. Been pretty slim pickin's at the Storm household.

I'm pretty sure this description is just to enable "grassy gnoll" puns. PS

This thread used to be fantastic. Can we get back to that?

My son and I both got copies for Christmas. We've rolled up a PC, but we haven't had time to play it yet. I'm looking forward to giving it a go!

Not having magic item shops in D&D breaks my immersion, because I can't think of a single other thing people haven't tried to buy or sell in the real world. :D PS

I haven't played him yet, but I built a rogue/ranger hybrid that's a pretty nasty striker on paper. You can find an encounter power at every level that's a minor action, so those rounds you can get both Sneak Attack and Quarry.

Crank the "say yes" philosophy up to 11. With veterans you say "yes but . . . " and add some new problem to the end. With newbies you say "yes AND . . ." and make their idea even better than before. I would also talk thru everything your NPCs do in combat "he's moving over here to get cover...

Didn't see this year's version, so I'll start. 9th level, 4e. The Goblins of Eberron campaign. Arena combat for the right to talk to the Daughters of Sora Kell in Droaam. 3 PC deaths. Near TPK. 7 PCs vs Beholder, 2 stone giants and 4 gricks. Very hard encounter. Two additional terrain...

Tragically, the PC with this power died over the weekend. Alas! But at least the power was misused and contributed to his death! :D PS

On the wiki page there's a link to "All pages" It is currently adding a "http://" to the beginning of the links, which makes them bad. Can this get fixed? PS

Zek and Jin died in the cleared out Fallen Tower. The rest of the group was mystically sucked into the dusty valley of the afterlife, following the departing souls. Two gods started contending for these departed - The Keeper sent his dracolich form and some shadowy minions out to fetch them, and...

The group arrived in The Great Crag. To reduce suspicion they used Prestidigitation and split into two groups (staying within sight of each other) and moved thru the city. Turns out the Hags are in a cave at the top of the mountain. Climbing the mountain implied doom, so Zoras started asking...

I much prefer a physical book for reading. I much prefer a pdf for looking things up during adventure prep. In theory the Compendium is good enough for a lot of my adventure prep. In practice I find I need to look up a lot of rules that are either not there, or I simply can't find them when I...
