    Swarm Stat Block - Orc Horde

    lvl 6 seems low. although as a solo its about 10. I like the save vs forced movement, my hordes were always getting hit by phantom chasm or come and get it, or at the worst hit with divine sanction + close burst vulnerability. There is a new orc throng in MV:NV brute 10 but it is of...

    2011 PC Bodycount Thread

    they were all run by the players ... Except Obryon they were all barbarian/gnoll 2-hit minions. As soon as one died the player would pick a new one and add him to the field. They managed to delay & bloody Ravid the Black and a small force of minions sneaking into the rear of the fortress...

    How to play a mute character

    wow no one said : this is a bad idea? I will be the first: This is a bad idea. As either a player or DM I would find this annoying, and a hindrance to RP and party unity. Few characters I have played would be friends with someone who would not talk to them. And as others have mentioned it...

    "That Guy"

    The Terrible: Low level characters, vs Beetle as big as a truck. Beetle is hanging out in a dark cave. Everyone else starts setting up to fire on the beetle as it comes out, moving into the trees, taking up ambush positions, discussing ways to get the beetle to come charging out (preferably...

    Would removing Superior Weapons open the game up more?

    I could use less brutality in the game. Except the Gauntlets of Brutality(+5 dmg vs prone), which even though they are listed at too high a level (17), are still enough to make one of my players drool. Yes paragon G.s. of Blood are more efficient, but the man just likes to knock stuff down then...

    Kitchen Sink vs. Parsimony?

    well I started with a restricted view of races, but we have had 2 goliaths, a fire genasi and a red haired pseudo-vampire. I have had a couple of warforged pitches, but when I explain the role of warforged, (individual creations of ratmen or mad-wizards) no one has taken me up on it. Just...

    Defend the Dungeon

    Limiate - it sounds like your trying hard to recreate the exact mechanics of the Dungeon master games. Is this really what your players want? - mye experiances with "defending a dungeon" anyway in a 4e game I ran 1 scene where the PCs had a pool of 12 minions. (8 barbarians and 4 gnolls)...

    Purple Index Cards: On-the-Fly Setting and Plot Collaboration

    After last nights game, a player tells me: "Those plot cards are consistently creating some of the best moments of the game." "I was here the whole time!" - the party was attacked by waves of barbarians. I was resolving it as a skill challenge. Planning on 4 waves of attacks, and running...

    Surprisingly Effective Hybrids

    I haven't played him but my Warforged Warden/Warlord with Warlock multi-class looks like actually a decent defender. Okay so the warlock feat is just unnecessary. The Warsoulblade (component-weapon) is a necessity.

    Stupidest thing ever done as a player or as a GM

    ill tell part of the tale in my .sig it was a failure on everyone's part really. We were going to talk to a silver dragon, who seemed to be working for the evil guys. We presented ourselves as official envoys to the Old dragon (way outside our combat ability) The Silver dragon invites us to...

    Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver

    I read the whole thing when it it came out, and really it was a Slog - sometimes I like slogging. I picked it up again recently and managed Quicksilver and Confusion, but returned System of the World to the library unread. The books really aren't about the characters, or a plot. Quicksilver...

    I like Ursa - hmm UrsaTron? anyway here is more of the team, as I think them up. Impulse A successful black stockbroker, who mutated in his early thirties. Now he inflicts electrical damage with his touch, he also does not sleep. He made a Siddhartha-like journey and decided to FIGHT...

    Does Anyone Ever 'Recast' Monster Roles?

    I'm having a lot of fun with this in my current story arc - Gnolls, once level 5-8 now lvl 11 minions Barbarians, once level 3-6 , now lvl 10 swarm (15 barbarians fill 8 squares) Frost Giant: level 14. I toned down his defenses&hp, but left attack and damage at a higher level. Frost Giant...
