    tough DM strategies (heroic tier)

    also i feel hobgoblins are not quite hobgoblins without a hobgoblin commander in the fray they are great at turning the most ragtag group of goblins into a fighting force to be feared.

    tough DM strategies (heroic tier)

    yea warcasters are great but their only ranged attack is re-charge so doubling up on them seems to not fit the terrain i provided but goblin sharp shooters would be nice if you want to barrage them. black i like your idea what do you think ideal terrain would be for this? maybe some rough...

    tough DM strategies (heroic tier)

    if they are at least lv 2 this should be ok for the terrain i recommended -hobgoblin commander -hobgoblin soldier -hobgoblin warcaster -hobgoblin archer -hobgoblin mercenary 775 exp total if they are lv 3 or 4 add 1-3 additional archers

    tough DM strategies (heroic tier)

    ive always found that if you adjust terrain enough to the favor of what your fighting even lv appropriate encounters are hard. as for hobgoblins? i would recomend this for an encounter. 2x very high ac phalanx warrior types 1x skirmisher in the back 1x leader type the rest artillery. make the...

    Sorcerous Blade Channelling

    im well aware of this im using as a method to confirm what people have been saying for some time now. its not the final nail in the coffin its one of many nails people in this thread people have pointed out. and not adding the prof bonus to a power that gets one would be a fairly large bug to...

    Sorcerous Blade Channelling

    the feat doesnt do that it says nowhere it gains the weapon keyword. you might as well give daggers brutal 3 with the feat because you think its appropriate. if the feat dosn't say specifically it gains the keyword "weapon" it will not gain the proficiency bonus.

    Sorcerous Blade Channelling

    also incorrect show me where it states it becomes a weapon attack. it doesn't all it does is effect the range aka allowing you to use it in melee without provoking attacks. daggers in many cases are used as implements. this does not mean any powers were a dagger is applicable as an implement...

    Ressurection and Drama "Don't worry, we'll rez you after this"

    wouldnt raising the cost get you the desired effect without permanently crippling a players ability to function in a group and as a result have a good time? as dms its not your job to punish players( granted when they do something incredibly stupid i tend to give considerably less leway) if you...

    Ressurection and Drama "Don't worry, we'll rez you after this"

    herrman i can see your point in treating rezzing as a business but if you restrict it to say "heros/fated/special soul" kind of thing death is still a relivent factor. also just because an adventuring party can afford a rez does not make them common place. overall the people in a campaign who...

    Sorcerous Blade Channelling

    he also happens to be correct you will only get the proficiency bonus if it is a weapon keyword attack. range has nothing to do with it ergo you dont lose the bonus while throwing a dagger or using a bow/crossbow. the proficiency bonus is their because in most cases ac will be a few points ahead...

    Gotta Have Them All Gamers -- a problem?

    i generally let my players use any wizard supplement that i have access to with the character builder. maybe my players are not nearly as good as min/maxing as the players on this forum but ive never had issues with overly powerful players only un optimsed characters like a wizard with nothing...

    Race Elimination Round 1!

    its worth pointing out that it only effects enemy's in the aura so while a waste of space its not detrimental to the party.
