    Level 10 dracolich?

    So it is, I must have seen Stunned under Gaze and just inserted it. But yes, if you get interrupted by a Dazing effect after you've already taken an action you are boned. Thus, always charge this Dracolich. :) As I've said it should be ok otherwise.

    Level 10 dracolich?

    I think its got too much Stunning for level 10. The RAW level 18 might have too much for 18, lowering its level while keeping its ability to stunlock most of the party is just brutal. Let Frightful Presence Stun, but change the Interrupt and the BW to Dazed and it should be ok. As an aside...

    Bind Familiar

    Tiny creature with an attack and 1 hp? So it goes down in 1 shot and provokes an OA to attempt to do low damage. I doubt this will break anything. Its fairly weaker than a Figurine of Wondrous Power though so it should prolly be at least that good.

    Allowing halflings to use medium mounts

    That's an excellent idea, I heartily approve.

    Puppet Master

    How about... and I know this might seem out there. A magical doll.

    D&D 4E Classless 4e and adaptation for the Superhero Genre

    I'm currently putting together a format to create and play supers in 4e. I'm working on an almost entirely custom method that dispenses with premade races and Classes and lets you simply make your own. The powers are going to be entirely point build, do it yourself, affairs. Here's the first...

    The New 4th Edition God-Killing Rules

    My Paladin doesn't want to be god of chromatic dragons. God of the Sun though? He's all over that. ;) Pelor, watch your ass! Also if Wizards doesn't want to make stats and adventures for Evil PCs then that's what the GSL is for. Some brave 3P company will totally make stats for your Paladin...

    All monsters equal? Goblin Warrior vs Kobold Skirmisher.

    This analysis fails to take into account that Shifty is great while Goblin Tactics is trash. Also Mom attack + combat advantage of the Kobold allows massive damage when swarming one person. Mobile Ranged Attack does nothing normally and Great Position is ranged only and easily locked down by a...

    All-human play - replacing core races

    I like it. For my own game I have a currently evolving 'build your own race' template that mostly lets you make anything that I use for my 'Cthonic Superhero Zombie Apocalypse' game. It doesn't let me make Dwarves though, I haven't really codified how to get disadvantages and the somewhat...

    Bladeless Swordmage

    Being as the DM has absolute control over which items you can have this isn't really an issue. That said its probably ok to allow, but be aware that there is a slight advantage in the [W] department unless you just, you know, make a +2 to hit, versatile d12 sword (claymore!) in your game.

    Defensive Staff Wizard vs. Deadly Orb Wizard

    A Staff is not a Quarterstaff. Nowhere in any book does it say a Staff (implement) has to be wielded in both hands and its against all fantasy fiction to require the staff be held in both hands to cast spells. Now it may be used as a Quarterstaff, but that isn't the same a being a...

    Brutal Fencer (A Fighter Build)

    The best way to handle Small and weapons is to throw the rules away since being Small gives exactly zero advantages over Medium. If Halfling rogues don't have to worry about weapon choices there's no reason to make Rangers and Fighters et al worry. Also its pretty silly that Halfling Wizards...

    D&D 4E Harry Potter 4e

    I don't think there's just one class. I think there's at least 4 (1 for each role) Hermione is clearly a Controller and Harry is a Defender while Ron is their tactician so he has some Leader characteristics. Voldemort is a Solo Artillery/Skirmisher monster with Avada Kedavra as a Recharge...

    Changing how Bloodied works

    If people think combats take to long, making PCs weaker at Bloodied certainly won't help. The easiest way to make fights faster is for Bloodied enemies to hightail it or have a PC or two specced for Intimidate. Will +10 isn't as fearsome when you Aid Another on a Dragonborn Fey/Starlock with...

    Recharging Encounter Powers

    I vote for 2. 1 is all the benefits of Second Winda lready and a Healing Surge is too small a price to pay for a character that doesn't get hit often. A Standard Action and a surge is essentially a surge and an Action point. Since some PPs get to spend Action Points to recharge powers this...

    Encounter Design - Single High Level Enemies

    I think you said exactly what you wanted. A SINGLE monster that can defeat any member of the party INDIVIDUALLY but can be defeated by the group. You want a Solo Lurker. Probably level +1 or 2. Or you can tone him down to Elite and have him harry them throughout several encounters.

    Blocking Movement of Large Monsters

    In my experience any Large creature that cares about being held in place can fly or teleport or otherwise never end up there. The basic big creature is a Brute and would love to have a non-Defender just stand there while he smashes its face in.

    Class Feature Variant: Virtuoso Cavalier

    In addition when a Marked enemy shifts or makes an attack against an ally and you may charge them as an Immediate Interrupt. The enemy must be at least 2 squares away to use this ability. Something like that.

    Oops, is my multi screw up bad?

    If she'd having trouble flanking, she needs to start fighting at range with Fleeting Ghost as her level 2 utility. If she beats the target's perception with stealth (I would suggest Skill Focus too) then she can Sneak Attack them with sly flourish at 5 squares with her dagger. Or with...

    How hard is a 4E black dragon fight?

    At second level my party of 6 spanked a Young Black Dragon. Lots of Temp hp + Scorching Burst being impossible to hide from inside the darkness cloud made the fight very easy. With half the party out of Dailies and AP it might be a bit tougher. What kind of Bastard DM are you to put a Dragon...
