    Darkness and the Black Dragon - Need advice

    To all that suggested rituals and so: great idea and fits the theme. Even if it's a temporary effect. I have aways enjoyed the presence of ritual magic in the fiction movies/books (The Mummy comes to my mind), but DnD in previous editions was not the best system to use this story elemment...

    Darkness and the Black Dragon - Need advice

    Thanks Claudio, but the dragon defenses goes up to the 25+ range, effectivelly meaning the characters have to roll in the 18-20 range to have a chance to produce such effects for a round of so. I fully agree about the close/area attacks but the combat would be boring for more tham half the...

    Re-skinning Cleric Powers: Avandra

    If that helps: I have a PC in my party that is a human cleric of Avandra. He is a very positive person and indeed have little to do with the usually "all mighty divine stuff". First and foremost he made a decision to be a heler/supporter. He is using mostly ranged spells and he is a little...

    On Ettins and Ongoing Damage

    I agree. I think any ongoing damage/regeneration is not affected by how many actions the creature can take. The basic use of the action point come to my mind to remmember that. In my opinion the ongoing thing is just like that: ongoing all the time slowly. We just use the creature's turn...

    Dragon Breath Neutered

    Personally I feel the damage from breaths are adequate if you compare to the other dragon attacks. Characters in 4ed are not the bag of HP they could be in 3.x, specially the defenders used to be (barbarians and con fighters come to my mind). Monsters tend to have loads of HP and characters...

    My friend is building a Dwarf Ranger, any tips?

    Thank you! I appreciated guys, thanks! Best tip was the remminder of ranger ranged attacks using dex. Very good call. So if I underestand this: an character using a pair of throwing hammers for any reason would use dex for twin strike (ranged). Haven't noticed that.

    My friend is building a Dwarf Ranger, any tips?

    A friend of mine is building a dwarf ranger to my campaign, so I was going to propose him either a 2-weapon Ranger or a beast master (World of warcraft oppening style). Many questions: - with dwarf weapon training he could use superior axes right? And add +2 to the damage of...

    what does dungenering do

    Good call. When I think of Lord of the Rings and the loooong journey inside Moria I think most published materials lack this: huge underground enviroments, even natural ones. Most published dungeons are mere rooms/encounters connected by corridors. I like the idea of spending a couple of days...

    Immediate Powers that gives bonus. How can we know when use them?

    Thank you! I appreciate fellows! My personal choice when I DM will be: DM: "[insert cinematic description here] + does 20 hits your [insert defense here]?" I usually roll dice in front of the players, but maybe I should start rolling behind the screen. Thanks to everyone. Cheers!

    Immediate Powers that gives bonus. How can we know when use them?

    You read my mind. It's supposed to interrupt and protect the caster. But if the attack is too high antway it won't be enough. My feeling is that the designers wanted the players to have this info. It's a "player knowledge" kind of thing.

    Immediate Powers that gives bonus. How can we know when use them?

    Many PC powers and item powers, speccially defensive ones, give someone a bonus on some defense agains something specific. Best example: Shield wizard power, that gives you +4 to defend against some attack (also lasts for a round). How can a player know when to use it? If the monster hit AC...

    Thank you everyone! Can't wait to use it! :devil:

    Unhappy with my fighter build. Please tell me where I am wrong.

    You may stick with longsword, but you should use the 1 hand style , with some dexterity and or wisdom. But if you really wanna be reckless like you said, and with high constinution the most efficient way is going full battlerager (even with a sword). Something like 18 str and 16 like many...

    Rain of Steel - After Erratas

    Good evening fellows. Double checking: before the erratas I believe that if you use any power that rolls for damage, you add the bonuses from the appropriate sourses. In the case of Rain of Steel damage: - Feat bonus, like weapon focus. - Magic weapon enc bonus. - Some magical effect that...

    The "correct" way to deal with marks

    I found out about that after posting this yestarday. We were doing it wrong. Thank you anyway.:) DracoSuave, I think I respectfully disagree with your perspective. Monsters using knowledge skills to identify that does not seems fair to me. Players Nature to identify an Orc, not a...
