Why do you need to talk your DM into it? Dire Wolves are larger. Its a nice opportunity for you to raid a Dire Wolf lair, steal its cubs and wait 5 years. What? You want to train a fully grown one? Might have to wait to see what the druid can do. Or talk about creating domination rituals.

Medium mounts lack structural intergrity. Even a small child will severely damage a dog's back, and halflings are now bigger than 8 year olds. (Barbaric Halflings riding on Raptors will never, ever be beaten.)

Bad, Bad man. I want Tracey. Its more geographically relevant.

Anytime a dragon is in range to hit with its breath, its going to be in range of the wizard and the ranger and the warlock, at least. Probably also the cleric and whatever basic ranged attacks the fighter, warlord and the paladin have. If *any* of those can immobilise it, the dragon is going...

Once it lands, it's going to suffer OA's.. and a hit from the fighter with Combat Superiority is going to knock it back to earth.

What Blackeagle said, with the caveat that getting real steal was a fluke of ritual, and once those rituals were discovered, they were kept. There was little real science to the metalurgy.

As soon as they move out of the burst, they are no longer targets. It generates a field of shieldness, basically.

How can you ascribe "flavour" to a generic system? The implied setting already indicates that dwarves don't have too many arcanists. But that's not *none*. Dwarves would make good warlocks, if Dwarves in your setting are the kind to make pacts with greater powers for their own personal gain...

The only warlock player I have in my campaign has opted to be an amnsiac, and completely forgotten how/when she made her pact. I'm gonna go all 'Nameless One' on her.

KKDragonLord. What's the foundatiion of your DND worlds economy? Most complaints I've seen about the economy end up groundless, because they have no set point for value comparison. What would a PoL's economy be based on? Food? Metal? Labour? (If food is plentiful.) The price of plate all...

I love the Urgosh. So I've put it back in. Long-staves now exist.

Actually, that's exactly was is required. Even GW Stores here have started doing it. Stay alive by offering a venue, and organization. Hire out DM's. Run campaign's for customers. Offer discounts that are balanced against monthly fees, then offer content as well. RPG's are troublesome for...

I'm curious as to what you think doesn't scale? The unification of mechanics in this edition makes for more predictable, and easier, tinkering, as well. Er.. I admit I'm still not sure what you mean by the feel of the rules. I don't think any rules have ever imparted a feel or a flavour. The...

Actually, inline with Hobgoblin's abilities to generate a new save, I would rule that it does potentially hasten you down the condition track. "I can do this, and give you another chance to fight it off, right now, or you can take your chances next turn." Is basically what I see it as.

Well.. SDO.. The feel is the DM's job. I've never understood why anybody ever thought different. 4th is a new, balanced, tested well scaling set of mechanics for combat/hazard encounters. They are the bits that I would generally say are difficult for most people to create themselves. Then...

I have no overly polite way to say it. The local gaming store is being summarily defeated by Online Sales, and the combined knowledge of forums like this. I can learn more, or get questions answered better, by asking here, than any of the 3 local gaming stores. And I used to work in one, with...

er.. Uncalled for? Thanks, Lizard, for the post. And I'm glad to see you generally enjoyed it. I've been fleshing out the NPCs myself, and I will be running the module once the rules are out.. mostly because I don't want to run into the issues you have had. I quite like the adventure, and it...

AS long as you build them, taking into account the level of utility they add, as well as then catering for them in extra XP loads. Personally, I'd be happy to see them enshrined as a type of static skill bonus with Encounter Power, and then grant the ability to 'possess' them as a minor action...

There are rules for healing potions we have seen. They are minor actions that consume a healing surge, but only heal 10 points of damage.

I know this is in something of the wrong section, but I'm building my new setting for 4e, and I was wondering if anybody can recommend some mapping tools. I'm specifically looking for tools to map terrain and geography on a kilometre level, while I plan out the location of my cities, riverways...
