    Most underrated feat(s)

    Mark of passage does not let one slide an opponent more, it only let's one shift more. So the opponent is only sliding one square. But Mark of Passage is still a great feat to use with that power or with Footwork Lure.

    Defenders that actually defend

    Good point indeed. This is about the only way to play an assault swordmage. Opponents that don't move to attack you will end up getting taken out of the fight early because you can usually teleport into a flanking position and hit them for more damage. It makes assault swordmages into a sort of...

    Dragon 381 - Know Your Role: Defenders

    I don't like the magic item that mimics the class ability of the assault bond swordmage. It seems a little bit like giving away the special flavour of a class. However, I might get over it.

    FR racial feats for PHB2 races?

    Until this moment, I had never thought of the possibility of PHB17. My bookshelf is so screwed.

    Goliath Warden Build Help

    I have found that much of the bread-and-butter of getting rid of opponents in 4E relies on push effects (less on pull and slides are always better, but harder to get). A good DM puts in lots of terrain features to make use of, so pushes help. Additionally, my warder has used pushes to drive...

    Goliath Warden Build Help

    That's not an answer. Indeed, it doesn't even seem to make much sense.

    Goliath Warden Build Help

    Form of the Winter's Herald is awesome. It really limits the ability of opponents to get to the other PCs, especially if the warden gets out in front of the other PCs. For your 3rd level, I recommend Earthgrasp Strike (assuming you're playing an Earthstrength warden). So far, no opponent my...

    Stacking Poison Question

    The damage should not stack, but the effects could.

    Arbitrary thematic restrictions forcing mechanical limitations.

    If one is not going to implement the thematic and story elements of the game into the mechanics, then why have different mechanics? This kind of thinking drives people to Champions and the Hero System, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

    the worst party ever

    5 Assassins for the win. Or the loss. They can only do big damage after a couple of rounds and they have crappy HPs. They wouldn't last long enough to do their big damage.

    the worst party ever

    No, the optimal number is one (no matter how many times its remade) or one.

    Question about pyramid of shadows? 4e

    Check out book 1, page 14. All the rules of the seeds are there.

    How many practice sessions did you have?

    Speaking of which... can I remake Wil as a Seeker? ;) I should note that in my game, I allow a greater amount of retooling than suggested, but usually coordinated around the release of new products. Sometimes, if I think a PC isn't as effective as they could be, I'll throw a magic item their...

    "You're a half elf? Really?" From the P.A. Podcasts

    Indeed. In a D&D translation of Tolkein, one could quite plausibly have the Dunedain as a population of half-elves like those in Eberron.

    How stellar was the old Fiend Folio!

    Funny, I was looking through an old White Dwarf magazine the other day and an article in it had a write-up on the deities of the lava children.

    Adventure long forgotten

    Perhaps you are thinking of The Goblin's Lair adventure pack. It was, I believe a boxed set with an introductory material. That had way more than three rooms, though.

    "You're a half elf? Really?" From the P.A. Podcasts

    They say dialogue from other players?

    Worldwide D&D Game Day - Sep 19 2009

    I found that, given the maps the PCs were working with, that there was a tonne of pushing and sliding of monsters, especially into pits. One duergar guard made her saves five or six rounds in a row to avoid going down one pit! And this was from players who had, with one exception, never played...

    Retro Spy gaming?

    Go to the library and look for books about the spy movie genre. There should be a book of standard plat structure and cliches that you can use. tvtropes.org is a good place to start. Look at the various plots and copy one. Start here: Espionage Tropes - Television Tropes & Idioms
