I like the 4e defense system; it seems to keep the flow of the game going. In 3e saving throws make me feel more like I'm on the defensive all the time; the enemy's spell "always hits" and now I have to try to get out of it. And as an attack, I like being able to roll to hit the monsters'...

I thought it was because the Italian <i>malocchio</i> is especially potent.

Hey, if assuming parties always have the right kind of attack is good enough for trolls, it's good enough for wraiths!

Are you going to give the other stikers special weapons too? What about lighting your dagger on fire? How about flaming magic missiles? Why give archers, already at the top of the striker game, even more options and power?

I find it funny that a lot of advice for making solos better is to add more monsters. Perhaps "solo" should have been renamed "BBEG" instead?

I don't think that this allows you to pick a longbow as an implement with implement proficiency. The paragon path lets the character use a bow as an implement but bows themselves aren't implements (hopefully my wording isn't too confusing).

I'm against special ammo like this that isn't part of class or paragon path powers. If you allow special arrows you are making rangers even more powerful, while the warlocks look at their little rods and wonder "how can I light my eldritch blasts on fire and get bonus damage for free?" But...

I'd consider limiting people's ability to move past each other on the bridge... maybe require an acrobatics check for both people to avoid falling prone. Nobody wants to be jostled when they are hanging on to a shaky, wobbly bridge!

Or the BBEG just doesn't give the minions any beans to spill. "What is Webrunner's plan for conquering the kingdom? Tell us!" "Webrunner is all mighty! We all tremble before him!" "Tell us!" "He doesn't tell lowly ones such as I about his genius plans.."

That's better than a daily item power. I'd say no extra damage. The amount of material you'd have to put on the arrows to get them to light up would reduce the effectiveness of the arrow.

I don't see what the problem is. So they want to beat up the baddies, take their stuff, and send them on their way with a kick in the pants. Most players I know are too paranoid to risk even a minor minion getting away alive, out of fear of retaliation. Or just have more dangerous battlefields...

So...tired...must...maintain...spell...can't...succumb...to... restful... bliss... zzzzzzzzz

At least it's not like in 3e, where the ultimate power was sound. Who the heck decided that noise was so deadly?

You could use it to annoy your warlock friend, because once you've cursed something another warlock can't curse it.

Nah, you want vorpal pizza cutters. They do d1 damage so you are guaranteed to roll max damage with them. ;)

To be clear, I meant this as a sort of "epic destiny immortality" thing, akin to a demigod ascending to the heavens or one of the other paths becoming a shadowy legend. I wouldn't do it if the player was opposed; I just thought that taking out a god and then replacing him would be a great "high...

Please please please don't overdo it with giving trolls fire resistance. It's become so cliche it's surprising to find trolls that are actually hurt by fire; you might as well put a ring of fire resistance in the troll equipment entry.

Heck, people in the real world know how to kill werewolves and vampires, and they don't even exist! (yah, I know the folklore is actually really variable, but if those things really did exist I'd wager the information would be more consistent, especially if there were dedicated professionals...

Here's how I would do it: Yeah, your archlich goes up next to Vecna, and becomes more and more powerful while Vecna gets weaker and weaker. Then *poof* Vecna is destroyed. Then your hand falls off and your left eye pops out. Congratulations, you're the new Vecna... you've fulfilled your epic...

He's talking about making OAs on his dominated friends. So if Señor Enchanto dominates the ranger and sends him to go chop up the soft, squishy wizard, Fighterguy can make an OA on him when he moves by, stopping him from reaching the wizard.
