Fitz, for this, you're awesome. I'm stealing this as my base model for the mundane tier. I'll give you credit whenever it comes up. :P I do have a couple of concerns, which I will note below. I do not like the condition change for bloodied for a couple of reasons. The first and foremost...

And that's great. No matter how you play the game, the point is to enjoy doing it. If that requires some fudging of the rules, so be it. If that requires no changes to the rules, so be it. In the end it doesn't matter as long as everybody's having fun. THIS

Exactly. It's all a matter of context. If my group wanted to start a game with characters that had an established past and wouldn't be considered "beginners", then I'm sure that 4E as it is would do just fine. Very cool. Very context-appropriate. Now, do you think that the battle would...

Alright, hang on just a sec. Let me make something perfectly crystal clear. I AM NOT A 4E HATER Ok, now that that's out of the way... I read the Chris Pramas review, but the CCG comments I made were not influenced by his remarks, but rather by the opinions expressed by the people I played...

I wouldn't necessarily group both of those trains of thought into the same category. Nobody in my gaming group wants uninteresting monsters. But, just about everybody in my gaming group likes beginning characters to be, well, beginners. The characters last night did not feel in any way like a...

We know "some" of the effects of being prone, and possibly all of the effects of being prone. Yes. standing from prone costs a move action and does draw opportunity attacks. Yes you can crawl while prone at half movement as a move action. Crawling is essentially moving in difficult terrain...

Yeah, I thought for sure he would be toast. But... then I started rolling damage and the dice were in his favor. Couldn't get more than 5 points of damage on any swing. Indeed. It took a bit of deliberation and scouring of the available rules before I made the call to let her do it. Part...

Bingo. You hit the nail right on the head. For the group last night, the tactical options were a welcome change, but their implementation at first level was not.

Regarding the "are skeletons intelligent enough to do that" discussion, I was of the opinion that the Boneshard Skeleton was the commander and was enough of a leader to command the troops around it. I also wanted to give the fighter a chance to try out her class ability. Sucked for the...

Right. I wasn't saying that each of the encounters was a breeze for them. All I was saying was that the characters were significantly more powerful than level 1 characters from earlier editions were. And some players felt as though beginning level characters should not have so much ability...

Ya know, I too questioned that when she first asked if she could do it. But... I didn't find any specific thing saying that you had to be standing to use powers, and more specifically, the information we had on prone did not say anything about only being able to make basic attacks from prone...

We held an impromptu 4E playtest tonight. We randomly rolled for character assignment. Initially, the party consisted of the warlock, the cleric, and the paladin. Later, a fourth player showed up and brought in the fighter. We had decided that tonight’s session was strictly going to be an...

power deck, part 2 Here are the rest of the cards I put together for Corrin Reedson. Enjoy!

Corrin Reedson, Level 1 power deck Hi all, I've lurked these boards off and on for years. Finally decided to join the other day. Perhaps out of boredom, but mostly out of motivation, this afternoon I put together a deck for the pregen paladin from DnD XP. I built it using the OP's linked...
