I completely disagree. An ally is only an ally if the person considers him such. For instance you can be a jerk and OA your buddy if he moves away from a square threatened by you, and if you have a power that excludes allies you can leave a monster out of the effect if you feel like it. This...

Chances are your PCs are murderers anyway. D&D character's modus operandi are basically breaking and entering, murder and theft. I can't remember the last time someone in my regular group made a "good" character.

This reminds me of the fact that most D&D characters are essentially pirates. They roam around looking for treasure, spend it on new gear and the taverns, and head out again. I think that's why whenever my character is in a situation where he's at a tavern or talking to "civilian" npcs he...

Ugh, I always have problems with trying to be "realistic" with PC expenses, especially between adventures. I'd say just make money a moot point and assume they're keeping themselves busy earning their keep. Also, long downtime is a great occasion for the PCs to take care of personal matters...

Harold! I think I captured the essence of Harold in this block. Basically being really effing hard to catch and shooting millions of arrows. I just had the at-wills at first but I felt he needed something else. I gave him the floating armor gimmick because of all the abilities he had this...

Huh, if you're a D&Di subscriber you should be able to see it. Target: One creature Attack: Strength vs. AC Hit: 2[W] + Strength modifier damage, and each enemy marked by you, other than the target, takes damage equal to your Constitution modifier. Stormheart: You also slide each enemy marked...

I've been asked by my friend to make a 10th level Pathfinder character. I thought I had left 3rd edition long behind me but I'm willing to try this game on his insistence. I don't know anything about Pathfinder. He's a dyed-in-the-wool power gamer, I'm not. I expect he'll expect me to make...

I think Gale Strike is absolutely a better power. Since your Nature's Wrath mark lasts until the end of your next turn you can potentially have two groups of enemies marked before you use this power, dealing decent damage to a group of enemies and even auto-killing minions when the power hits...

Next up is Kormak Kormak was more fun to make. He had a few interesting gimmicks from what I remember from the campaign. I realize the monk is more of a skirmisher archetype but Kormak was definitely more of a brute. Being a brute he can have a hard time hitting targets, so I gave him the...

How high level? Like epic level? Because if you're gung-ho about it and got $50 burning a hole in your pocket I might consider some of the GW Warhammer minis. Those guys go all out. Like check this guy out.

I was the one who said that last session.

My bad... :(

Arg, I thought I posted this earlier today but apparently I'm schizophrenic. Just for fun I started making the Rise of Felskein characters as 4e npc blocks. They have been rebalanced and, well, 4e-ized but I've tried to keep the spirit of the character the same based on his actions and...

By not having to. They optimized their automatic damage to such a degree that they whittled the thing down. Combined with the fact that one player got a lucky automatic hit with an encounter that effectively dazes the monster for the entire fight and that the cleric is a healing maestro and...

Actually, your description is how the power is suppose to work. I like your clarification better so I will update it as such. It also teleports. I'm merely going with the DMG's suggestion that controllery powers should use the low damage column, but a bit more hurt wouldn't hurt... er, I...

Me too! Yea, I totally see where you're coming from - I should mention she has 15% less HP than a normal elite her level would have. Also she's a bit custom-tailored to my specific group. These guys drop monsters FAST (3 strikers in the party) plus we rolled stats at the beginning of the...

Throng of Beggars - Level 5 Obstacle Trap - 50xp You realize you are surrounded by smelly beggars all begging for change! Trap: A 5x5 zone hidden in the normal crowds of a big city. Creatures caught in the zone are immobilized and may be forced to give up their coin just to get rid of the...

I'm planning on having my party of 16th level PCs encounter this thing. Check it out and please give me your thoughts. What do you like about it? What do you not like about it? What should I add/take away and so on? If your name is Iron Sky or Volabit then you may close this thread and back...

Edit: I'm wrong - But see below. I think your DM is kind of making a dick move by adhering to that so stringently. The flow of combat goes by pretty quickly and there's a lot of crap going on. It can be kind daunting to keep track of everything your character is capable of, especially at...

When did 4e come out? Because it was shortly before that.
