What is so ridiculous, THEY HAVE JUST ONE HIT POINT! They need that rule to make sure they are not worthless, just mostly worthless. Having just one hitpoint makes their defenses the most important aspect of their ability to survive. Half damage on miss effects completely negate the ONLY...

Oops My bad, missed the melee and basic keywords. Thanks for the clarity.

There is no I in Warlord! Having not seem the other at wills (if others are available) I would consider this if I was playing (rather than DMing). Nothing brings parties together than letting another character get a second chance to hit. Also, it is a very important power because in effect it...

Thanks! That makes sense.

OK tactics question: So Sign of Vengence is a Minor, the teleport is a move action, so we have one standard action left why does it need to burn an action point to attack twice? Or does it mean just use the action point to get 2 double attacks? Thanks for the input. p.s. Anyone know why...

I don't agree. A rule is always a compromise between complexity and simplicity. A rule should be considered a bad design if the problem comes up fairly often. If you keep having to add rules for silly circumstances, then the ruleset will become too complex and too combersome. If you do not...

Damn! D'oh!

I sure hope so. I'm on the west coast and my time to play is probably from 10:00pm to 12:00pm so I HOPE that there are others like me with the same schedule.

Yes it does. And same with 2nd and 1st. D&D's rule 1 is the DM makes the rules and everything else is a guideline. So I can choose to remove the raise dead guideline. Of course being a good DM, I would tell the players first before it is an issue. Doing otherwise is just being a bad DM...

It sure feels that traps or any other specific task is just not the right use for the new skill check mechanic. I think that some people see this new mechanic as a great new hammer, and traps are starting to look like nails. I have read the posts describing the rules as well as a postcast...

Yes and no. Yes it is possible and no because you failed to mention the Opportunaty Attack that the rogue gives to the opponent it charged. Sounds very risky to me.

I don't recall exactly where I read this, but the DM rolls a D6 (at beginning of the Creatures turn I think) and if the roll matches the result of the power, it can be used again. I think of them as per encounter abilities that on a good roll can be used multiple times. JesterOC Edit: Wow I...

Bummer dude. My game ran great, only praise. But then everyone wanted to play D&D, they did not care if it was 3e or 4e, they just wanted to play. We had not played for years and it was great to get back into it. JesterOC

One Podcast I listened to said that the stats on the cards will not match the true monsters in the MM because mosnters where still in flux when the cards where sent to the printer. I beleave it was on the Tomb but I can not be sure.

I loved Gurps, when D&D went 2nd edition, I went GURPS. When 3rd edition showed up, I went back to D&D. But GURPS still is ver near and dear to my heart (Gotta love quirks).

They might want to wait for new blood once the old blood is all on the same page. It would suck for new guys to show up and see big argument threads about 3e vs. 4e. I bet they want the dust to settle before they bring in the new guys/gals. Just IMHO. JesterOC

The major problem with Dodge, is that the DM had to remember the little +1. With most 4E mods the PLAYERS have to remember it. It is much easier for the player to remember everything considering what they want to do, than the DM having to think of the players stats on top of trying to play...

According to a recent "The Tome" Podcast with Andy Collins, encounter powers can be used every five minutes outside of combat. My group used it to regain more hitpoints with there surges by adding a healing word to each use outside of combat. Took longer, but saved many surges. JesterOC.

I am running my tiny group through the return of the burning plague. The group has just three players (Fighter,Ranger,Cleric). The adventure is for 4-6 players but I did not scale it back! I know I guess I am mean. --Spoliers for Return to Burning Plague-- Anyway they are having knock down...
