Not likely I mean, the warforged could probably get modified, but I doubt that the original design called for anything to be attached in that particular spot. They were built for war, not making the beast with two backs. You could be a whoreforged though.

Shielding Swordmage I'm currently running a hybrid swordmage/infernal warlock in the home campaign I'm playing in. It's fun but you have a hard time dealing with multiple foes; once you have burned your immediate reaction there is no reason why a foe would worry about your mark, other than the...

Error prone I just hope these pre-gens have less errors/inconsistent info then the D&D Encounters characters do. They really need to circulate these PDF's by email in-house, with a $50 gift card to the person that can identify the most errors, so that the errors can be corrected before they...

Defiling is Delicious All allies take half a healing surge worth of necrotic damage, which is unavoidable, to reroll one attack roll or one damage roll. I can't access Wizards from work so I'm not sure if this can only be done once, or if it can be done for each attack roll (i.e. AE powers)...

This is definitely true, particularly with feats like Melee Weapon Training.

Awesome. In the end, the best method is the method that is going to result in the most fun for your particular group.

Burn them, burn them all!! :devil:

Flat Screen TV Xeterog used a flat screen Visio tv once, laid on its back, with OpenRPG for our mat. It was at Aggiecon a couple of years ago. The downside to this was that he had to enter the maps beforehand into the system. The mat/marker method seems to work the best and is worth the...

I've never played in a campaign where someone was saddled with really crappy ability scores. Most of the time the person re-rolled the whole array. Essentially the deviation is skewed because people are more likely to accept beter stats than worse ones. The true random method would be 3d6...

And if only the campaign weren't so crowded I could come and play!

Remove Emotion Take a deep breath. Try to remove your emotion from the equation. Ask yourself, "How would this area of your campaign world react if there was an active force of evil stealing and killing?" Shops might shut down, traders might move. Perhaps a thieve's or assassin's guild is...

It all really depends on how random the random rolling is. The point is that there are mechanical options that have been balanced on the assumption that there is a 22 stat buy. Certain options and combinations become open that should otherwise be impossible or penalized based upon sacrificing...

I should have been more clear, in the next line it states to multiply the XP budget by 1.666. I'm not sure how I'd indicate that appropriately in formula. I guess: New Encounter Budget = B * [1 + (8 / A)] where B is the normal budget expressed in the DMG and A is the average ability modifier...

If I were forced to mathematically figure this out, I would take a normal modifer of +7 to +8 for the average 4E D&D party. That meaning that each character's stat bonuses after addition and subtraction = +7 or +8. I would take that number and number and divide it by the average party's modifier...

You never have to worry about being turned away from the roller coaster line for not being "this high" to ride. In all seriousness though, the advantage is usually reach. Being large is a disadvantage if you don't have the hit points to back it up though. I think that is why they didn't go...

Greg Bilsland suggests taking the flat damage modification after rolling dice and doubling it for paragon monsters, and tripling it for brutes. So 2d10 + 15 becomes 2d10 + 45 for brutes. Wow, I look at that number and it is terrifying.

I get the feeling that there is a lot of epic level playtesting going on. Greg Bilsland had a good article on his blog that discussed changes to monster damage in epic, and the inability of epic monsters to effectively deal with status effects. My play experience thus far has been limited to...

I suggest making it very clear that vacating the area is in their best interest. Play up the storm, allow Nature and Perception checks (should be a cinch with the Ardent giving the +2 bonus to Perception). If they fail those checks I'd make it obvious that further out they see the sand...

I'd like stun to go, but I don't know exactly what I would replace it with. I know that for a dragon, for example, I'd just give them another action point and some more HP. I just don't think it's that fun for your character to be completely capacitated. They included the death saving throw...

The DM I had for the event seemed to have difficulty as well.
