    Do you use the DnD "lore" or do you make it your own?

    We usually play in the Forgotten Realms and don't restrict racial choices. We run the "lore" as written most of the time - sometimes you need to change something for your story, so we do that. Everyone is accustomed to the FR and it is good that we don't change settings fluently so that...

    How can I quickly teach someone else to effectively play a warlord?

    If you want some general input on building a warlord I suggest this guide: Chasing Glory: The Warlord's Handbook (July 2010) - lordduskblade (1) What powers would you recommend for an inspiring warlord that are not so difficult to manage, as well as providing lots and lots of combat...

    You make the call: Spreading the Pain

    That's quite a mean setup. Was there at least some knowledge skill check involved to see wether anyone knows a way to get rid of the minions w/o healing the solo? - If not that smells like a grindfest build right into the encounter.

    Two-blade ranger really high damage

    Hi again, my charge happy friend. I don't check the math - it's too late. 40+ at-will dpr at level 6 is nice. So let's take a look at the rest: Nice for MBAs, like charging, BUT what about you're rogue powers? They require high DEX. If you want a rogue charger get Melee Training (DEX) or go...

    Using each stat for a melee basic attack

    Nice explanations good sir. But it didn't bother me at all. But I like it. When I read your thread title I was thinking this thread is about something like "Do you think that everyone gets Melee Training for free is a good house rule". -- Man, errata humanum est. ;)

    Roguish Killer

    That question is easily answered: SA has a restriction on weapons you can use it with. Does the feat specifiy any change to that rule? - No, it doesn't - therefore, you can't use roguish killer with a fullblade or any other weapon that is not a light blade, sling or xbow.

    Roguish Killer

    That might be true but that doesn't change RAW. And by epic it would be 5d6 extra damage (5d8 with a feat) on a miss. But I don't care about the numbers. This is a rules question not a math question.

    Roguish Killer

    There are no assumptions made he just read it by RAW. SA has a restriction by RAW. The feat does not say it lifts that restriction. So by RAW the restriction still applies. Yes, indeed, you still have the feature - you just can't use it anymore b/c you have a usage restriction as well and that...

    Roguish Killer

    That is true but there are items (e.g. wraith blade) that specifically state that they circumvent the usual limitation on the frequency of usage of sneak attack (SA). Let's look at it like this: 1) Specific beats general: doesn't apply, nowhere is stated that you can use SA more than 1/round...

    Rule Q: Dazed caused by immediate actions

    I like to add that you can't take actions after you charge except for free actions or spending an action point to get another standard action. It is not like I charge = I win. But we're getting off-topic.

    You make the call: Spreading the Pain

    A Dream Sequence sounds like a nice tool to test that but what can I learn from it and even more important what do they learn from it? And actually I had run something similar where they weren't able to die b/c of an artifact's effect. Man I hoped they tried to work as a team and all I got were...

    Roll players

    Man I hope you look like Megan Fox RL and play that out at the table... I've played chars that were younger/older than myself, of the opposite gender, and with differing attitudes/morale and of course of different race. What I have noticed so far is that most chars have a trait in common with...

    How 4th edition PCs scale - the actual numbers

    Looks like your party is optimized. Maybe you don't need an extra +s but what about more casual gamers that want to enjoy the game? They should be able to enjoy their chars as well. And if they need some extra +s, so it be. You can ban expertise if you like or if you don't need it.

    How 4th edition PCs scale - the actual numbers

    The more factors you ignore the easier it gets to assess something. So you say every party should have a leader - most parties probably have a leader indeed. But which leader do they have? It's not like there is only one leader type that hands out attack bonus buffs and defense bonus buffs...

    You make the call: Spreading the Pain

    You're discussing this topic about DMs fudging things in the group's favor under the assumptions that all groups are equal. But they are not. If I would kill a PC most of my players wouldn't learn anything from that they would probably just say, "damn I lost my char". If I would use all my...

    Essentials nostalgia - the death of martial healing

    What Joe the ranger can heal - I always thought only Texas Ranger Walker could heal by Laying on Hands - that totally ruins my game! Some people believe martial healing should be "weaker" than magical healing b/c you can do magic, you can have anything that you desire. If I think about that...
