    Can a Slowed Creature Shift?

    It seems pretty straight forward to me. Your speed becomes 2 in all movement modes other than teleport. So you can do the usual move action to shift 1 square, but if you have a power that states you shift 6 squares you can only shift 2 (your speed). However all push, pull and slide effects...

    Mesh Hongs Monster Request / Discussion Thread

    (shakes fist) I've been lured into commenting on a reskinned official creature...again! To be perfectly honest I didn't see the aura until after I had posted. Looking at the Maw Demon its a bit odd, they have decreased its attack value from 20 to 19 then compensated by effectively giving it...

    advice and ideas

    I know this is probably not what you are wanting to hear but I am going to say it anyway as it is my lawful good duty (burn me at the stake if you like :angel:). Don't concentrate on the end of the story (in this case Epic tier) when you havn't even started it yet. Not only will it be a...

    A Puzzle and a Skill Challenge

    I like it. I don't think I understand clue 3 though. "3.You could pass this door twice as often as others." I work it out that with all the clues I am left with: 6, 12, 18, 24 6 (1x6, 6x1, 2x3, 3x2) total 4 ways 12 (1x12, 12x1, 2x6, 6x2, 3x4, 4x3) total 6 ways 18 (1x18, 18x1, 2x9, 9x2...

    Mesh Hongs Monster Request / Discussion Thread

    Thanks for posting, lets have a look at your level 15 elite brute:- Defences: Your defences are a little high, but as the creature is a boss I don’t really see a problem, for the record my expected defences are: AC 27; Fortitude 28; Reflex 27; Will 27. But like I say I think these defences...

    Gods, planes, afterlife, and the common man

    I think the problem here is that you are trying to apply modern scientific reasoning from the real world to a pseudo-medieval fantasy setting in an imagined world. Really in my opinion the burden of proof and the threshold of acceptance of fact are significantly different in a world where...

    Help with a custom magic item/artifact

    also how about :area:Disrupt Undead (minor, daily) zone, sustain minor Area burst 2 within 10; creates a zone that lasts until the end of casters next turn; all undead inside the zone take a -2 penalty to all defences; the caster may spend a move action to move the zone 5 squares; minor action...

    Help with a custom magic item/artifact

    I think for a Necromancers Staff artefact I would look at some or all of the following abilities (note these are off the top of my head and you might need to double check the damage expressions):- Properties: Wielder gain darkvision wielder gains a +2 bonus to Acana and Religion skills wielder...

    The motives of evil cultists

    Quick Thought: If they are taking whole families then what is happening to the real estate that is now vacant? Maybe there a little scope for something interesting there? Maybe the cult need access to property at certain locations in the city as focus points for some big ritual later...

    When Players Ruin Your Evil Plans

    Yes this is the approach I try to use as well. Sometimes I get a bit carried away in my planning and make assumptions of what my PCs will do, and when I do this I am always wrong, and it always screws me over. It is much easier to roll with the punches and makes things up as you go along when...

    Silly Monsters

    Well...... The Vampire Elephant isn't that silly. Its a pretty credible creature in my book, but I would have liked to see it sucking blood through its trunk. And the solo Kitten is just horribly underpowered!

    My Experience with changing Ongoing Damage over rounds to an immediate effect

    I can see what you are trying to do and why, but I don't think I like it. Primarily because it doesn't take into account the multitude of powers that grant bonus saves, including the desperate heal check to grant a bonus save. A lot of the tension in epic fights is down to trying to shake off...

    Rescuing Avandra - Epic Level Adventure (Update: added final boss encounter)

    Well my PCs stood at the edge of the undersea lake and their bravado started to slip, deciding on the wise precaution of sending the rogue to scout the sea bed before diving in. An hour later he had returned having spotted Fleshtearer sharks (not a problem) and the biggest lobster he had ever...

    Yes thats a much better way of phrasing it!

    Chaotic Evil Party, Help!

    Yes, I probably got a bit carried away with the tone of my post. Of course I would always assume that the same principles of Fun and Fairness were applied exactly the same as in a normal game. But I would recommend that you don't pull any punches, the evil group certainly won't. I would...

    Running Epic Tier Campaigns

    yeah, high stakes is what Epic level play is about. The PCs arn't really doing anything fundamentally different to what they did in Paragon or Heroic, its just that failure is probably bad news for the world not just themselves. They should be risking everything for ultimate victory...

    Chaotic Evil Party, Help!

    Go after them with the Good Guys, the game is pretty much the same as usual but instead of you being the Big Bad Evil Guy, you are now the Big Bad Good Guy. The basic premise will also have to be turned around, instead of the party reacting to the plan of the BBEG, they will probably be...

    Just playing around with a few concepts for low level fey creatures and have knocked up a few butterflies. Well not even giant butterflies are going to threaten a hearty band of adventurers, or are they? Giant Royal Red Butterfly Level 3 Skirmisher Medium Fey Beast XP 150 Initiative +5...

    Mesh Hongs Monster Request / Discussion Thread

    Here is an interesting Fey creature for your perusal. I originally had a lot of these powers with recharges, but for simplicities sake I think they will be fine (and maybe a bit more interesting) as at wills. This is very much a low damage leader, but has enough control powers to make it a...

    Skill Challenge: The Enchanted Mirror Maze

    What stopped the group realising what was going on and having the person with the highest perception lead them through while everyone else formed a chain and closed their eyes (making them immune to the mirrors dominate)?
