The problem here is that actual first aid takes significantly more than 6 seconds. So, in addition to provoking OAs, the use of first aid should take, oh, maybe 5 rounds? As a bare minimum

Yep. Runepriests choices are just far too limited They can't even benefit from the divine at-will booster feats. Of course, there's also the clunkiness of tracking the rune state, but that's in some ways part of the attraction.

Being eaten by the Tarrasque. It's got a long history of permanently destroying nigh indestructable things.

I'm wondering about that at the moment. I've been playing the leader in a 4e game I'm in at the moment, but it's my turn to GM, so potions are probably going to be important. Fortunately, we're level 17, and our defender is a swordmage, so the level 15 potions aren't actually that bad.

If you're going to put it as "they use their second wind but don't gain the bonus to defences" I'd just change it to "They spend a healing surge"; rules out certain strange interactions with second wind optimisers. Another way to make it work (if you want surgeless healing specifically) could...

The NPCs would have had the option of focus firing the fighter anyway, but they wouldn't have taken it. Why? Because they would also have had the option of focusing a squishy, without the blockade in the way. The squishy would have gone down under the focus, whereas the fighter will take it...

You assume there is no difficult terrain. No defender who can take OAs if they go around the wrong side (hence allowing the control of a 6 square, rather than 3 square width) None of the monsters are dazed, nor are any of them slowed, hence they can all happily go via indirect routes, not...

Okay, KD, you keep saying that -2 to hit is irrelevant compared to the fact Magic Missile autohits. Well, let's use your own numbers. At level 4, a wizard with +2 implement, 20/21 int, and, oh, expertise (because they clearly like hitting things) If they don't have combat advantage then they...

Or you can go "Alright, well, make the attack first, that way you won't have to take the attack penalty"* and if they go "But I want to miss" you have your answer. *(because that's how the rules for running work)

It doesn't block light; yet it blocks radiant damage. It blocks thunder (the equivalent of sonic in 4e) damage. But I see no reason that it has to block sound. And if it doesn't have to block sound, well, it's up to you. And personally, I'd go with it letting sound through, simply by analogy...

Realistically: probably. By the game design paradigm of 4e: Very unlikely Falling is essentially forced movement; it's the world exerting a pull effect. Forced movement doesn't provoke.

Amulet of seduction. It's a level 5 amulet, -2 to first saving throw against charm effect.

Magically induced helpless should be invisaged not as an effect on the monster, per se, but as an aid to your attacks. The Mask of Death is upon him, and any blow you strike will be a grievous one, because death is calling to your blade/spell/whatever, and telling it where to strike.

You were responding to Imaginary Number, who made clear what zhe meant by Magic Language: The requirement of some DMs to describe the precise sequence of actions every single time, as though the PC can't be any more competent than the player. Using a completely different meaning, in order to...

"Magic language" is the difference between "I search the room" and "I search the room, looking... behind the altar, on top of the altar, under the altar.... behind the tapestry.... under the elephant" It is NOT the difference between "I search the altar" and "I search the room". That's simply a...

Do you have any fellow gamers in the area who might want to get stuff atm?

This is actually something I've been thinking of working on, making a set of -1 and 0-level monsters. But I'm not sure if enough people would find it useful to make it worthwhile.

Consider changing dailies to recharge at some longer time period, or significant events, and doing the same with surges. What sort of timeline do encounters generally spread over in your games?

Perhaps have a small aspect of the gods power take up residence in its followers. Especially the one that came closest to the wand. The PC may be guilt-stricken at the failure, but has been handed an even bigger burden to shoulder. And they can't give up now, can they?

Personally, and this is just me, I'd treat Dragon like a class, with homebrew powers and features. Possibly certain classes could be rethemed (and boosted slightly) to make dragon-class versions. Fighter, Bard, Sorcerer and Wizard seem like plausible ones for that They build their PC as per...
