    D&D 4E Tyranids in my 4e setting.

    Hide for bandwidth saving. I don't think it loads till you expand it. I might be wrong. Hierodule as Tarrasque could be amusing.

    No. Feat bonuses do not stack. The highest prevails.

    D&D 4E Tyranids in my 4e setting.

    This is a Genestealer. This is also a Genestealer Blood Fiend I'm.. surprised.. that it is quite that blatant.. but I like genestealers. Now I need to create a Human Demon-hunter that channels eldritch energy through a projectile powered by radiant magic, and wears full plate armour...

    Fourth Edition Forgotten Realms Sucks.

    Oh no! They rained on his parade! It's their creative content to play havoc with. *shrug* I don't get attached to story characters or places much, and its not a retcon, either so I don't hold that against them (DC and Marvel story-designers should burn.)

    Limiting magic item use per day and "Milestones" = very bad

    Re-flavour it. You only have x-amount of personal energy to invest into powering a magic items ability, and after 2 encounters, you regain it. Same as an Action Point. Those items don't have their own power sources. They need PC's to powerthem.

    Healing Potions seem woeful

    Characters get X+Con modifier Healing Surges, where X is dependant on class. I think you mean second wind. Healing Surges are a resource that measures vitality, similiar in nature to HP. Second Wind is an ability that utilises the Healing Surge resource, and is a standard action, 1/per...

    Piercing Strike question

    No. It means Marked. Marking is a seperate category of effect, which results in the -2 to hit against anything that is not the markee.. in this case, the paladin. Divine Challange is a seperate class feature that applies the Marked effect in addition to its other effects.

    D&D 4E An in depth rules discussion on the mechanical problems and breakthroughs of 4e

    I never got bored, or really had to hold back, with my Warmage. I had to multi-class my wizard to do anything meaningful.. at least until CA came out, and I started picking up the 4e-esque reserve feats.

    Basic Ranged Attack

    There are powers (Lots of the Warlords) that allow basic attacks, including ranged attacks, against enemies, from the rest of the group. So thats one use. I'm not sure when you'd use it as an OA.

    shuriken a superior weapon?

    A fighting dagger and a throwing dagger are decidely different things. What they are calling Shruiken is, for all intents and purposes, a throwing dagger, and would do a better job at being thrown for damage than a fighting dagger. *shrug* I have no problems with it. Stop thinking of shruiken...

    D&D Insider! UP ! (merged)

    To be fair, I beta'd MTG:O and played it for a bit after release (Too expensive for my tastes.) It was a quality product. I imagine it still is.

    Questions - basic attacks and opportunity attacks

    You do not gain OAs for Close keyworded attacks.

    Some questions from actual play

    The secondary affect of cleave is quite explicitly not a second target choice. The power has one target. Ninja'd. Lots of times.

    Healing Potions seem woeful

    Is it fun inside that box? Take your misplaced vitriol elsewhere. You have not got a valid reason that has been presented, just rage because it doesn't fit your pre-conceptions. Healing now requires vital energy from the person being healed, short of particular abilities that directly call...

    The Ninja Warlock

    The mechanics question, while admirably an attempt, Benly, falls down. Something that seems to be a trend, and concerns me slightly, with the rules framework. In any case; Houserules! I've ruled that bright light sources will negate all stealth checks within their radius of illumination. I've...

    On Gishes.

    Fighters mark on a hit.. which is a hit on anything. They can have as many marks as they want. Paladin's can only Divine Challenge one thing at a time though.

    Nice write up, Bison. And ZOMG! Zelda reference!

    More feats, fewer choices

    Low Charisma does not, for the record, equal 'ornery' It equals indistinct, with no force of personality. A haughty, arrogant SOB wizard is going to have quite a solid force of personality. But not necessarily a NICE one. Where's that guy in the corner who never really speaks may be the...

    Why don't clerics get Shield proficiency?

    Yeah. I was constantly surprised by how many people forget that a Heavy shield and a weapon means you can't cast. Bucklers were an option, at least.

    Stay back! The joy of OAs.

    He's adjusted it, though, so you don't rely on the pole-arm. I actually think that version may be more useful.. though I do like the fact you can make a shield wall of pikeman with cross-bowmen behind them, work properly.
