    Goliath Warden Build Help

    If the kobolds are surrounding and focusing on you, you've got a couple of tools to weather the situation. As Earthstrength, you add your Con mod to your AC when you use Second Wind, *on top of* the +2 you normally get, and that lasts till your next turn. As a Goliath, you get the Resist 5...

    Daunton's Dead Shadow (DM:Ukingsken, Judge:????)

    "Good question," says Morvannon. "I think 'summoners and bodyguards' could work -- you, Magnus and I can pull off the 'crazed cultist' look, and Vrrsk't and Grakk definitely have the 'dangerous bodyguard' thing going for them. Vixo wouldn't fit the picture as neatly, but he could probably sneak...

    Lord Ogglebottoms Odd Tasks: All in a Nights Work (DM: DMDanW, Judge: Renau1g)

    Gellan sees the cleric enter, and excuses himself from his table with a promise to pick up the next round. Slipping through the crowd, he passes behind Minharath and murmurs his observations of the patrons in a voice barely audible above the crowd. Insight skill check to Aid Another on...

    Daunton's Dead Shadow (DM:Ukingsken, Judge:????)

    Morvannon frowns at the gate. "The notes said that he was supposed to meet someone at the north gate at moonrise, on several different days. The guards must be somewhat accustomed to such events -- perhaps we can gain entrance by claiming to be arriving for the same reason." Squinting up at the...

    Lord Ogglebottoms Odd Tasks: All in a Nights Work (DM: DMDanW, Judge: Renau1g)

    Gellan's eyes widen a fraction as Jehad forgoes the subtle approach. Never seen someone smaller than myself try to scare another into giving up information, he thinks as he observes over the rim of a mug of ale. Still, something about him.....there's a lot of power there.

    Lord Ogglebottoms Odd Tasks: All in a Nights Work (DM: DMDanW, Judge: Renau1g)

    Gellan follows the shifter towards the docks, then slips away to climb up to the rooftops. From this vantage point, he spends fifteen or so minutes watching the patterns of movement from the ships to the various establishments catering to the sailors and back again. Satisfied, he slips from the...

    That's a very good point. Onward it is!

    Lord Ogglebottoms Odd Tasks: All in a Nights Work (DM: DMDanW, Judge: Renau1g)

    Gellan nods. "This is good to hear. We would not even have to enter as a group -- one comes in, then another a bit later, then maybe two together. We move with the natural flow of the place, and are less noteworthy that way." Gellan Bonesaw - Level 1 Halfling Barbarian Passive Perception: 16...

    Lord Ogglebottoms Odd Tasks: All in a Nights Work (DM: DMDanW, Judge: Renau1g)

    Gellan scratches his head. "I do not know of this place. Those who do, do you think such as we would blend in there, or stand out? If we might pass unnoticed, we could go there before the appointed time and wait to see who brings the box."

    Daunton's Dead Shadow (DM:Ukingsken, Judge:????)

    "I think the most pertinent information we could get from the corpse is anything it knows about the people who attacked its house -- if they are actually Donnervales, if he knows how they learned of him....in that order. Beyond that, maybe ask what it knows about Zal'Ekthees."

    Lord Ogglebottoms Odd Tasks: All in a Nights Work (DM: DMDanW, Judge: Renau1g)

    Gellan starts as the warforged construct lurches into action at Thorn's command, but recovers enough to partake of the cheese when it is delivered, offering Leonidas a solemn half-bow in thanks.

    Stats on druid summons

    The rules for summoned creatures are laid out on page 221 of the Player's Handbook 2, in the description of the "Summoning" keyword. Its defenses are equal to yours when you summon it (not including any temporary bonuses or penalties), and its hit points are equal to your bloodied value.

    Is A Thrown Weapon Ever a Ranged Weapon?

    "Ranged weapon" in the power's description is a combination of the attack type ("Ranged") and its range ("weapon"). So you certainly could use a throwing hammer to make a Ranged attack, with a range of 5/10 as defined by the weapon. Side note: the "returning to the thrower" aspect is for...

    Daunton's Dead Shadow (DM:Ukingsken, Judge:????)

    Morvannon waits until he is sure that Magnus is finished, then spends a few moments parsing his speech. "Are you saying you think these cultists started out like that idiot in his basement, then summoned up Zal'Ekthees by accident?" Clapping his hand to his forehead, he walks in a tight circle...

    The saving throw granted by the power is an Effect, so it happens no matter what you roll.

    L4W Discussion Thread IV

    "Melee 1" is actually defined in the Player's Handbook, page 56: "A melee power that has a range of 1 can be used only on an adjacent target." I don't know of any other specific examples of powers with that range, but that's what it means. Now having said that, it does seem odd that this...

    You cannot be marked by two characters at the same time. Any mark supercedes a previously applied mark. I believe so, yes.

    As Gellan walks in, he stifles a sneeze from the cascade of unfamiliar odors filling the room. His eyes watering, he looks around the shop in bewilderment. "So many things...I never imagined so many things." Gellan Bonesaw - Level 1 Halfling Barbarian Passive Perception: 16, Passive Insight...

    New Tavern Thread: The Hanged Man

    Gellan frowns in concentration as he scrawls his name on the roster, followed by "hunter". "I greet you all," he says to the others in the room. "I am Gellan, and I have skill with these blades if this work leads us into danger, as sounds likely."
