You like rules/system mastery, something that 4e is actively trying to prevent. Which, IMO, is a damn good thing, for the game.

Eldorian, you can't hide until you have concealment. Therefore, you can't stealth as part of that first movement, unless you were already concealed.

I like the new cleric *shrug* I quite like that one, too.

I've done that combat, though it was 28 minions and 1 controller vs 8pcs. The PCs win, and handily. That's an inbalanced encounter because my party has 2 wizards and a dragonborn, and wiped out half the minions in turn. It did, of course, burn through a few powers, but it was the middle of the...

So.. what were the enemies? (Just say if they are earlier in the thread, I don't have the time atm) But either they NPCs have good reasons for lousy tactics, or simply lousy tactics were involved. NB; If the vast majority of resources are used in one encounter, I generally don't consider that...

That would be because they both share a major designer. I also found it amusing that basically everything you've said you don't like was almost unanimously heralded as good change on the boards. Uneven power creep is bad for an even playing table. Just because you have players mature enough...

You know, thats a qood question. I'd rule you lost 2. But for the latter part, no you cannot choose to prepare the cleric daily in a wizard daily slot.

Show me one of these encounters. I'm hard pressed to believe you could put together an encounter out numbering the PCs by 5 to 1, with mobs that have a reasonable chance to hit, and normal damage and hitpoints, without killing the PCs. Unless you used no sensible tactics. So, I want to see it...

David Annable Its not a debate, its an outright statement. Standpoint A is correct.

By my reading, you were unable to hide as part of Shadow Walk action, as you don't have concealment till it is over. It would take two rounds for this to kick in. And, after that, you can in fact render yourself effectively untargettable, with the right checks. 1st Round Blast, Move. You are...

ah! I'd forgotten the Initiative. Ta.

So, quick question folks, What happens if I have 8 Dex and 12 Int? Does the -1 Dex get ignored for basically everything execpt acrobatics checks (and light ranged/bows)? Just curious.

Aura is possessive, and therefore each swarm has a seperate instance of an Aura. Which also means that each swarm gets its free base attack against any creature in which the Aura overlaps. Which means; NOTE to DM. Be careful of their usage.

There are a lot of threads covering Minions already. They work perfectly for what they are supposed to be. Its a metagame construct, for piting minions of an equal level against the pcs, and supplying threat and numbers. They don't need more than 1 hit point. Ever. If you're uncomfortable with...

1. The power is Shadow Walk. I personally would rule that no, that action gave you concealment, the next you could attempt a hide check, depending on the nature of that action. If it was another move, sure. In fact, you'd *need* to make it another move, or you'd lose the concealment, and hence...

Yeah.. I've already house ruled the push/pull/slide powers to lose 1 point for every category larger they are, after the 1st. Man, I can't think of a better way to word that, outside of a formula.

No, Hong. NO. It does not have a long ass-breath weapon.

You've ignored the fact that by Level 7, Wizards, Warlocks and Clerics have powers that can knock it Prone, or Immbolise it. Personally, any dragon that doesn't drop rocks on its enemy from a few hundred feet up is a foolish one. All the rest of its abilities are there for when it has no...

.. A dire rabbit would be awesome. Monty Python style. Shetland Ponies are marked as Medium? Really? I don't have my 3.5 books to look. Even a small one is still pretty big, compared to a human. I mean. shorter, but still stocky and pretty long.

There are no full round actions. Its standard. You can't move while its going on, of course.. but within the RAW, its a completely legitimate combo, as far as I can see. And, of course, for everyone else in the party, they also get the benefit of the Armour Splinter, until the end of your...
