And yet there's nothing to stop you ruling the precise opposite. If someone wants to take -2AC and -5 to hit for the sake of getting 4 squares, then why not let 'em?

It's an interesting looking one (though yet another dungeon crawl in a series of dungeon crawls thus far), with a couple of properly interesting villains in it. Though I spent about 20 minutes going through it and correcting all the page numbers in the PDF last night, which was annoying!

Awww! Isn't it sweet! .Net just told me it's downloaded and I can disconnect from the internet! Awww... (Seriously? *is* there still dial up?)

OK. I'm reasonably OK with a computer, but without the link to the MSN page with .net on it, I'd be flummoxed. The inbuilt .net downloader failed for some reason (probably due to my %&%£* firewall). So then the D&DI downloader told me it was "probably" because I'd cancelled the download, and...

I've just laughed myself silly, but noticed OP is looking to play their 1st ever character... Have a word with the guy running the group you're looking to join. It may well be that they'll be happy to let you swap after a 'trial period'. I'd suggest playing a rogue for the start of a game -...

Damn it - that was going to be my suggestion!

This has inspired me a little. I think I'm going to give a change of play style when I next play my warlord. I'm going to try giving more orders. I'm not going to say "have a free move action" to the ranger as he gets dropped to the floor again. I'm going to say "stand your a$$ up, you...

So what happens if you use the Divine Challenge as the last action in the turn? Ohhhh... On your turn... It's written right there in front of me and I missed it... So tha paladin challenge constrains the (non-javelin or eyebiting) paladin almost as much as the target?

Only if you want to hit stuff, IMHO. And you presumably took warlord to help you "lead the attack" (Ironically the only level 1 daily which actually has any effect on the warlord). Also, you probably have other places to blow up to 4 feats. And the fighter multiclass benefit of +1 to hit...

I agree with the feeling that warlords aren't as dynamic as they could be. I've played one since 4e came out, with a quick play of a combat cleric for a one off, and it felt so much more involved and dynamic! Almost on a weekly basis I come out with a warlord power, it boosts my allies, and I'm...

Sounds like the file has gone (and is still - just failed again) corrupt...

My 2 pence - the warlord's going to be frustrated at the fact that none of his powers (especially at lower levels) actually have any effect on him. Which is jolly annoying!

IE something or another. I've managed to download everything they've released thus far, so it's nothing personal between them and Microsoft. It's happened before and I've managed to get it 2nd or 3rd go. I imagine I'll try again later. Still a bit frustrating though.

Try as I might, I can't download it... "The file is damaged and cannot be repaired". Not the 1st time I've seen that message, and it's been D&DI everytime...

Cards. I played for a few sessions with my Saturday group (which I intermittently DM), and was using cards. 3 weeks later, the entire (7 man) group has their powers recorded on index cards.

I made some out of some cheap coloured poker tokens and some little stickers. Not got every status, but all the essentials and 4 different colours for ongoing damage.

Having thought this myself, I'll be watching this thread with interest, though I haven't seen much of anyone playing at higher levels yet...

Personally I'm happy (in a way) there's no synopsis, as I'm sharing DM duties with someone else, and we're doing an adventure each in turn. If there was a synopsis, I'd have to read it, and I might know what was coming! The 1st adventure does have some items of potential foreshadowing - the...

Oh, and whilst I'm thinking about it - level 1? Skaven surely rate a 3 or something? They've got to be scarier than goblins...?

Move speed of 7 - they're faster than humans in the WFRP book. I'd be tempted to give them a goblin-like free shift, only when they get hit rather than missed. 'Skaven Cowardice' or something. And only infect skavenslaves (minions if ever I heard of 'em) with filth fever. Maybe.
