That makes no sense. If a character is only prepared for an attack if he lowers his defenses, how could the character ever lower his defenses in preparation for an attack he doesnt know about? Unless he just walks around not caring at all and is constantly at a -5 defences + combat advantage...

I figure that all of the effects that would be triggered by a hit or damage are supposed to be a deterrent or a reaction against a credible threat, and that if a character is choosing to completely letdown all of their defenses then the character is choosing to treat the attack as a non credible...

There is no explicit rule letting a character deliberate take a hit, but I would let a character let themselves be hit in any situation. I would probably let themselves assume the condition of unconsciousness, but with the ability to remain standing. In other words, the character would take a...

It depends on how they got to level 5. If you are going to be creating a party of 5th level characters from scratch they each get a level 6 item, a level 5 item, and a level 4 item, and gold equal to the cost of a level 4 item. If the party had started at 1st level and adventured until they...

You only get XP for combat in your games?

Once you get the hang of the game you should level up after about every 10 hours of actually playing.

Simple double click it to unequip it. It should still be in your inventory, so you can use it in your attack and damage spaces, but it wont show up on your power cards.

Im running KOTS right now, and it seems like instead of magic items of lvl+1, lvl+2, lvl+3, lvl+4, its lvl-1, lvl+0, lvl+1, lvl+2. In addition you get 1,268.70 more gold then what you should normally get from levels 1-3. I havent found it to be much of a problem so far. I had to change the...

Actually thats a level 12 encounter. What were some of the stats of the PCs? EDIT: You realize that Thorn is a skirmisher with just ranged attacks, right? He shouldnt have even been near the PCs.

"The demon prince waves his hand and.... (d20 roll -fail-) waves his hand..... (d20 roll -fail-) and waves his hand again (*come on you* d20 roll -success-) and summons a goblet of elfblood wine."

So lets say a flying creature, crashes into water, that negates the prone effect? What happens if you make a creature who is already swimming prone? Is the prone effect simply invalid while swimming?

3. If you wield a light shield, you can also hold an item as well, although you can’t attack with it. What if that item is an implement? Can you apply its implement bonus to your powers? No. Using an implement to gain its bonuses is considered attacking with that implement. If you wield...

Q: If you crawl into water from prone, do you then swim with the prone condition?

I meant more along the lines of how it effects the combat, ie making it more or less difficult and how to handle XP. I forgot about the shared actions. EDIT: As per my previous post: What it essentially comes down to is if the minions make a difference, up the encounter XP. If they dont...

Why not treat them like a mount? DMG page 46

"After an extended rest, you can prepare a number of daily and utility spells according to what you can cast per day for your level." PHB page 158 Plus: 8. Can a 5th level wizard memorize two 5th level daily spells instead of a 1st and a 5th level daily spell? At the end of each long rest...

Why remove the power source? Why not just change the fluf of the power source to the same fluf as your campaign?

At what DC?

I thought that we stopped with that whole infinite oregano stuff a while ago. All speed is is an arbitrary line in the sand there to help balance the game. Nothing more.

Actually, its a free move action once per encounter, as long as you dotn plan on spending an action point for any other action.
