There are two things in this book that are getting a lot of discussion, and I think they're problematic. Flail Expertise: In addition to the scaling bonus to hit, when you hit with a melee weapon attack using a flail and the attack lets you slide the target, you can knock the target prone...

You can't legally get Pack Outcast in the character builder, but there is a way to do it and have it appear as house-ruled. Change your race to human, pick the Pack Outcast theme. Change your race back to Genasi and the theme will remain. The restrictions for race or class on the Neverwinter...

Dryads typically can't venture far from their tree, but Hamadryads are the type that aren't limited in how far they can go from their tree. As to why they would go adventuring? Hopefully they'll have ties to the default setting and conflicts built in to act as reasons go venturing out.

After watching this episode I'm pretty sure it wasn't the new skirmish game. 1. It used a d20. The announcement at GenCon said the game would be diceless. 2. The game already had printed cards. The new skirmish game will have open playtesting so I doubt they have a final version in print yet...

Update from my game last night: the players like the split combat/drama decks, and I had a little flash of inspiration. I already knew that these cards were a substitute for the mechanics of fate points in the FATE based rpgs, they reward players (with xp or combat bonuses) for extra description...

They're sized so they should print 2 to a 3x5" index card. The borders are a little tight, so make sure its within your printer's range. My printer can only do 3x5 from the manual feed slot, so printing the entire deck can be time consuming to print one at a time. Once you've got your card text...

Bumped, because I realized my updating of my last post wouldn't show up as a change to any of the people already reading this thread and using the cards at their table.

I do a combination of what the rest of responders have already said. The players that put more development into their characters backstory get more plots or screen time around their characters, because I find the players who don't bother as much with the development are playing for other...

We've a spell called Haste (Bard 16, Daily) since Arcane Power, and one called True Strike (Cleric 1, at-will) just got added from the Neverwinter Campaign Guide. I say called the same, because the new versions don't compare to the third ones for power, but they're both useful, and do very...

A rogue can't take a thief trick as one if their utility choices, because the thief tricks, knight and slayer stances etc don't have a level in their descriptions. See Replacing a Power, page 87 in the Rules Compendium.

What's the matter with a knight activating his defender aura when he puts on his armor in the morning? Having to activate that class ability in the first encounter is not something I've encountered online before, and I strongly disagree with that interpretation.

Minor correction, Bladesingers have striker hit points, not the normal controller hit points of the Wizard.

Woops, that's supposed to be just over 200, looks like I didn't update my post after I started counting. Edit: Here's my current Deck of Cards, split into Combat and Story decks. The two decks are separated by the images for card backs I just put together; using the D&D dragon ampersand logo...

Update from my group: Last week I discovered that the deck had grown to unwieldy proportions, and I had been realizing that my players had been asking often to trade in the more skill based and story cards when we were in dungeon sessions. My solution, split the cards into roleplaying and...

Hmm, my initial knee-jerk reaction is mixed. I like the specializations that skills open up in the more complexity module, but the idea of taking multiple skill trainings in the same skill, basically bringing back skill points, bothers me. I'm currently opposed to the modular approach to...

Its related to the new packs of non-random miniatures. It didn't get as much press in the blogs until recordings of the seminar got out. Here's a bit more info. * Non-random themed miniature packs of ~12 figures, likely including 1-2 large figures. Sets of common monsters such as goblins...

That is really cool. Takes the format from the Neverwinter game day 1 sheet, but adds power spaces, and a different image behind for the AI file. I don't have illustrator so I couldn't view the original, but I assume that if you're customizing it for your own campaign its not hard to change the...

The product direction in books for 4e sounds less like 5e than the predictors were saying, to me. I'm betting the cancelled announcement was the 2012 campaign setting, they did say they weren't ready to show it. But this is mostly that I don't want to believe that they're in design for 5e yet.

For anyone interested in a rules citation for this, on page 248 of the rules compendium is this under Second Wind.

Radio Free Hommlet was my favourite 4e podcast, but they got burned out on the format, and it was beginning to grate on me to listen to their distaste for the Essentials product line. The only other 4e podcast I can recommend is Roving Band of Misfits, unfortunately for the OP, it is...
