One of the design goals for introducing implements was to give "spell casters" cool magic items to use that were not just more spells in a can. Before 4e, martial/combat characters were compensated with a larger, more interesting selection of magic weapons, armors, and items with interesting and...

Yeah, I just started looking into these more closely. They intentionally made the Death domain warpriest use more implement powers. They did something similar with the Druid (Protector) in Heroes of the Feywild to compliment the Sentinel, which was largely a weapon/melee role. They also had...

Since I started running simulation games like this using only the basic Essentials options (for the time being), I just noticed something. Clerics (warpriests) and paladins (cavaliers) still have proficiency with holy symbols, but it looks like most (if not all) of their powers from their...

Running simulation games on FGU. I am amazed to find there is so much functionality and automation built into the system. It is a shame that it took me this long to find out how well FG is equipped to handle 4e (along with many other systems). Of course, it is difficult to demonstrate or show it...

@Tony Vargas Thank you! I've been waiting a year for someone to come in and tell me how it could work. I never believed 4e was so tightly wound that you couldn't tweak anything without wrecking the fabric of space and time! On the contrary, I think it is easier to do because it is so tightly...

No. Sorry. I lost them when my computer crashed unexpectedly just a few months after I did these before I backed them up. I lost a lot of stuff I had been working on since the pandemic lockdown. It was devastating. I hadn't bothered trying to recreate them since.

So when I say Essentials is a simpler version of 4e, I mean it in terms of being more streamlined and easier to manage for players. As a standalone, you don't need to decide between half-a-dozen or more powers to choose at every level. Plus, Essentials give you more than just powers to choose...

There are a few reasons I think the goblins will work for the opening act. The Daggerburg goblins should be more relevant to the Nentir Vale as a plausible (albeit minor) threat, at least in the area they inhabit. Between the western edge of the Harken Forest and the nearby Withchlight Fens...

Glad to see someone picked up on this! I propose the following changes for "Rescue at Rivenroar": Use Fallcrest for the party's home base. We know that the AP will eventually move the group away from their home base anyway. But the location is central to all points in the Vale, and it is well...

I'm actually playing in an H1 campaign now on Roll20. I'm playing a minotaur fighter/cleric hybrid. Good times!

Scales of War set in the Nentir Vale. Updated for post-MM3/Essentials updates. Go!
