Hi guys, It always bothered me a bit that wizards were never really defined by their principal class feature, that is, their choice of implement. While everyone was familiar with the abuse of the Orb of Imposition class feature, the class features derived from implement specialisation didn't...

Chimera anyone? I always pronounced it "shim-i-ra" (emphasis on the first syllable). Strictly, I believe it's pronounced "ky-meer-a" (emphasis on the second syllable). I also had trouble with "awry" up until I was in my mid-20s. I always pronounced it "aw-ree", rather than its correct...

Well, dammit, it positively interferes with my gaming. I just snorted coffee all over my PC sheet... Wang... and his brother Dong... <snickers like a 11-year-old boy> And their family name is "Long"... <snort, heeheehee>

Yep, I'd decided that I was happy to accept that as a consequence of negating one enemy's attacks every round, but since I can't do that, readying just ain't such a good general tactic (although of course there will be specific circumstances where it will be useful). Cheers, Al'Kelhar

Eh? We'd always played a readied action as an immediate interrupt. But on examination of the DDI glossary, I see you are in fact correct. Consequently that tactic won't work! Cheers, Al'Kelhar

Shaguar? Doesn't Austin Powers drive one of those? [Can't XP RangerWickett a the mo'.]

Hi guys, a little rules question. My fighter has Tide of Iron and is able to push 2 squares with it (craghammer + bludegon expertise feat). Instead of attacking on his turn, he readies Tide of Iron with a trigger along the lines of "I attack with Tide of Iron if any enemy adjacent to me makes...

... interspersed with: The Great Upheaval; The Time of Troubles; The Day of Reckoning; and The Plague of Those Annoying Little Midges You Find in Sand Dunes.

"If anyone takes an apple or gets too close or avoids the apples, the wolf leaps out of the pile and attacks. Roll 1d6 to determine surprise: 1-2: the party is surprised, 3-3, nobody is surprised, 3-5 the party is surprised, 6 the apples are surprised..." So, if the party is surprised, and the...

Alanna Twilight, L12 Drow Hexblade, grabbed and impaled by a cadaver collector. And cadaver she became. However, the party also having a L12 Warpriest, with a daily raise dead power, meant Alanna did not depart this life for longer than the next long rest. Cheers, Al'Kelhar

If you have a DDI subscription, the last two Against the Giants adventures are available from Dungeon online. Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl is for levels 16-18, Hall of the Fire Giant King is for levels 18-20. Basic dungeon-crawling, however. Cheers, Al'Kelhar

Was the warforged truly made of gold, or was it simply reflected sunlight that made it appear golden? (think about it...) PS Will no-one make an Austin Powers-style "Preparation H" joke?

Yup, this. It's the age-old division between the hard-core hobbyists in a given field, and those with a passing but not all-consuming interest. If you think you might be in the second category, try to find a group with like-minded people. IME, most groups will be inhabited by people...

I'd run the phone through the trash disposal, then dump the pieces in a deep lake many hundreds of kilometres from my home. After all, they're the only evidence linking me to the disappearance of my friend... Wait, did I say that out loud?

Hi guys, I'd like a little help with rules clarification. The Benefit of the White Lotus Hindrance feat states: "When you hit an enemy with an arcane at-will attack power, that enemy treats all squares adjacent to you as difficult terrain until the end of your next turn." (My emphasis) The...

These powers don't seem particularly strong when compared to wizard at-wills - although they do more damage off the bat, their level of control is about the same. Howling Zephyr is directly analogous to Freezing Burst, Ice Prison is directly analogous to Stone Blood, and many of the other powers...

I personally like to have dominated PCs run around the battlefield, drawing AOOs, and then falling prone (a free action) at the feet of an enemy at the end of the run. Cheers, Al'Kelhar

Aww, c'mon guys - I know everyone's wondering: does Sir Bearington... um, y'know, (whispers) do number twos... in the woods?

As you can see from the previous messages in this thread, there are probably as many different ways of dealing with minions as there are 4E DMs. My own house rules for minions ramp up their lethality significantly, making them a threat at all levels. My principle for minion design is that...

... Which s**ts me to the max, because the builder also allows you to purchase specific kinds of masterwork armour (of appropriate enhancement bonus). As far as I'm aware, it's perfectly RAW to have ordinary (non-masterwork) armour up to +3 enhancement. As far as I'm concerned, this is a *bug*...
