    Combat takes too long

    Were these standard level apropriate encounters? Because if so, something must have been really unballanced for you to have to spend all of your dailies so quickly. Are you sure you actually had to use your dailies? How many healing surges did you have at the end of the day?

    Question About Rat Swarm

    Ongoing damage doesnt stack with itself, or any similar ongoing damage as per page 278 of the PHB.

    Combat takes too long

    Each encounter is supposed to take about an hour as per the DMG, and even then thats a lot less time then in 3.x.

    Did I miss something

    Just note that all you did was put the party up against a standard level apropriate encounter. Just because a monster is a solo, that doesnt mean that its going to be tough. All it means is that the monster is going to be tough in comparison to other monsters of the same level. If you want a...

    Silly Question

    Its just to keep tabs on what your Mod +1/2 level is so you dont have to keep doing the math.

    Yup, under Arcane Implements on page 221 of the PHB.

    Square of Origin of a Close Blast

    Its not a large leap of the mind to think that an origninating square might also be effected. The sentence in question just puts that to rest making it a non isssue. PS. Ignore my above post, I keep getting confused by the diffirent B's.

    Square of Origin of a Close Blast

    There is no such thing as infinite oregano. The intent is clear, the originating square is the focal point of the blast and the originating suqare muset be a space that you occupy.

    D&D 4E 4E without Magic Items

    But D&D isnt the game of life. We dont model bathroom breaks, or what happens if you dont brish your teeth. In real life we get tangible returns for our money. We get the use of utilities, luxuries, etc. Buying ale and harlots in D&D doesnt really amount to anything IMO. It might be fun...

    Healing Skill Check On The Dying

    Exactly. A DC 10 doesnt do anything what so ever if you have already spent your second wind, even if you have all of your healing surges left. The only time a DC 10 will ever work is if the character still has their second wind. For all other situations you need either a DC 15 or outside healing.

    D&D 4E 4E without Magic Items

    Just a quick question about low magic item campaigns: What do PCs do with the loot? Do they just not get any, or what? I mean its kind of silly to give them a binch of money if they cant spend it on anything.

    Critical Hits & Ongoing Damage

    How? Its 4d10+Wis+INT for the first round if both cloudkill and binding hit. After that its 3d10+Int+Wis per round with both cloudkill and binding, and the cleric takes 2d10 per round. So in two rounds thats 7d10+2Wis+2Int. Lets say the wizard and the cleric each have a 30 in their...

    Critical Hits & Ongoing Damage

    So the regen takes care of the Wis damage for the cleric, and Cloudkill makes it 3d10+INT+WIS (Wizard and Cleric stats respectively) for the target. Its still just that and 2d10 per round for the cleric until the Cleric is bloodied. I still dont see how thats broken. Compare it to how much...

    CustServ on "What is 'an attack'?"

    Yeah, whether its an attack or its not an attack, Wall of Fire doesnt target any creature or object. Its a conjuration.

    Critical Hits & Ongoing Damage

    Why? Is it really that broken? It essentially takes a monster out of the fight as long as you and the target keep taking damage. Its definitely useful, but doing only 2d10+Wis per round to a target, and taking the damage as well doesnt seem very broken.

    Critical Hits & Ongoing Damage

    Page 278 seems to indicate that you only maximize damage related to the attack, so you would roll subsequent damage.

    The Economy of Actions: Pets

    The problem with a horde scenario vs a fireball is that with a fireball you pick a focal point and roll. With a horde you must move each minion to its proper space, taking into account a lot more tactical decisions including flanking, OAs, Cover, who attacks when syncronizing with diffirent...

    Sleep + Coup De Grace

    The sleep keyword means that any monster immune to sleep is immune to the sleep spell and other future spells that have the sleep keyword, but not all effects that cause you to become unconscious. So just from a quick look through of the MM, Constructs would be immune to sleep, but would be...
