    Plot/monster help -- my players out

    I'm to run a game tonight and I thought I'd have enough time to prep but it's running late. Figured I'd try for the power of the net/enworld... Party is level 3 with some weird twists (no magic items other than a healing potion each, all martial classes, 1-2 bonus feats each and each player is...

    FAST REQUEST: one-shot with pregens

    Thanks all! Khyber's Harvest looks the best, but a bit long. I'll bring it in case people want to do it rather than boardgames.

    FAST REQUEST: one-shot with pregens

    Anyone know of a 4e adventure that is A) on-line right now (will pay a few dollars if needed) B) has pregens C) can be done in a 3.5 hour slot and D) is at least fairly interesting? Ideally lower level (1-5?) Our gaming group was going to play D&D tonight but the DM is a bit overloaded with...

    A few quick questions about extra attacks

    Hi folks, Two questions: Does an attack granted as an opportunity action count as an opportunity attack for purposes of (say) a fighter's combat superiority? Specifically the ardent has a level 7 at will that grants such an attack. Does it stack with the bonuses the ardent grants to...

    Something Essentials won't solve (DDI rant) and proposals for new char. sheet format

    Opps, gave XP comment to wrong post... I do agree that those were just fine.

    Something Essentials won't solve (DDI rant) and proposals for new char. sheet format

    Let me add that I find the CB much easier to work with than doing things by hand. The interface doesn't thrill me, but it is solid and other than a few bugs and performance issues I've been very happy with it. Really happy. I find it interesting to hear what works for various people. Those...

    Something Essentials won't solve (DDI rant) and proposals for new char. sheet format

    Ok, as the title implies, this is something of a character generator/DDI rant, but bare with me. I only recently picked up DDI and I've now made a number of characters in the 1-18 level range. The software is slow and eats my fairly new computer, but I'm fine with that. It's slow and hangs...

    Rule Q: Dazed caused by immediate actions

    And what happens if the dazed (or stunned) state ends during your turn? I think the answer is that we don't know. RAW it probably means that it takes effect the moment it gets applied (potentially negating the rest of an action) and ends the moment it gets removed. But RAI is unclear and the...

    A few monk questions and a L7 monk build looking for thoughts.

    I'm thinking that this isn't actually true. Most weapon/implement powers say "when using this implement to attack...." but some don't. For those, I think that you treat them as you would any other item and you need not be attacking with them. Thoughts?

    A few monk questions and a L7 monk build looking for thoughts.

    I don't have the books in front of me, but I'd swear that a monk got to use his ki focus on unarmed attacks. I thought it was in the unarmed attack description. I think I got lost in here somewhere, let me explain what I'm shooting for. The club's magical property is that when wielded it...

    A few monk questions and a L7 monk build looking for thoughts.

    Thanks folks, I'll look at the utility powers later, but yeah, purifying meditation is probably worth taking. I agree the versatile expertise could be improved, but I'm not sure club is the way to go. For a MBA won't I always be better off with the unarmed attack (more damage, better attack...

    Magic Missile

    I thought about that, but was worried that some bonuses might stack with both the hit line and the effect line. 4e sometimes tries to get a little too cute with the rules (witness that it isn't clear what an "attack" is now) and I'd prefer to make RAI as clear as possible in the RAW. That...

    A few monk questions and a L7 monk build looking for thoughts.

    The "rain of hammers" ki focus states that "whenever you reduce an enemy to 0 hit points or fewer, one enemy adjacent to you takes damage equal to 2+ this focus's enhancement bonus damage" First of all, what the heck is this bonus damage. Bonus to what? Also, can this power trigger itself...

    Magic Missile

    I'd suggest: Otherwise leaving the power unchanged. I don't think that would make it overpowered.

    Shaman questions

    Hummm, that was my initial thought too, but the wording is: They may not be the target, but the power is being used on him. I think you might be right, but I'd argue it is a best unclear.

    Shaman questions

    Of course I asked first and did a web search 2nd. The general consensus is that forced movement can't provoke opportunity actions, and neither can teleportation. Sad, but reasonable. Also really poorly written rules. Who'd think to read the definition of forced movement when resolving this...

    Shaman questions

    Hi all, I have a handful of questions about shamans: The spirit's shield power (and spirit's fangs) say the trigger is: "An enemy leaves a square adjacent to your spirit companion without shifting." Does that include forced movement? Teleportation? Can a spirit companion be flanked or...
