Are you saying this is not currently the case? Because that's what I've been doing since the beginning of this edition and through to today. (I used to not even use cards, but crammed all my powers (and equipment) onto the back of the page.) It does start getting a bit crowded in paragon, but...

You said you've mostly been using MM1 monsters, and now you want to do a solo fight. Okay. But be advised that solos have had not just their numbers modified, but have had HUGE conceptually work done on them that can't be expressed by the "MM3 on a business card." If you don't have a copy of...

The quick-and-dirty method is to double the static modifier. So if it's 2d6+3, double the 3 so that it's 2d6+6.

1hp/lvl (as a threshold*) is both too low at low level and too high at high level. I think using the same equation as minion damage ( (lvl+7)/2 ) would probably work well. *You don't want to actually track their hps. A hit that does at least the threshold level in damage kills the minion; any...

These spectral bad guys had a room full of traps and favorable terrain, but when their enemies kicked their door in, instead of hiding and waiting for them to walk into the terrain and set off the traps, they decided to jump out in the open and get blasted?

I love how, with a "there's too much errata!" thread just dying down, that this thread is taking the "there's not enough errata!" stance. (For the sake of balance, I presume.)

Example? What kind of campaign have you got where characters regularly have identical powers or items or whatever, LFR? And how bad is it if Bob has an extra [W] written down; give both Bob and Larry the extra [W] and sort it out before next week.

I've never been a DDI subscriber, but I do use all the updated rules. One day in an effort to save myself some time in the future, I sat down with my PHB and a pack of those little adhesive pointers (like you'd use to point out "sign here" on a document) and tried to mark out each place where...

Huh, so it is. Totally missed that change. (Ah well; all the campaigns I'm in are in heroic right now, so in my poorly-excused defense, I didn't have any reason to know ;)

You're right. "Fly speed until the end of the encounter" means exactly what it says. Not having hover means that if you don't move on your turn (at least 1/2 your speed, if I recall?) you fall. Most dragons don't have hover; does your DM make them hop-and-fall every round? No. That said, I'm...

There's a ghoul lurker in MM2 (Acolyte of Vecna, or something?) that a pair of awesome grab-and-prone and stab-you-in-the-face powers, that might also give you some ideas, and isn't a brute like most zombies and mummies.

You sure you're not thinking of a runepriest power?

You're right that dwarven weapon training doesn't add to attack bonus. +1 from half-level, +2 from warhammer proficiency, +1 from warhammer enhancement; that's 4. The other 3 probably come from using an attribute other than strength. Paladins have many at-will attacks that use charisma instead...

Bleh! Sitting around allocating skill points is the worst thing about character creation in 3e and PF, a problem which is (literally) multiplied when making higher-level characters. Burn it with fire. Let me pick my about-four out of less-than-a-score any day over portioning 120 skills points...

Perfectly fine ruling, sounds like everyone at the table loved it, very clever, blah blah, no complaints, yada yada... That said, RAW: Are the targeting lines for the worm's powers based on a relative size ("at least one size category smaller than it") or do they specify targets of a specific...

Or you could just assume that psychic DAMAGE is, in fact, DAMAGE. The psion does it by, I don't know, making his eyes glow, but so what if the bard does it by insulting your mother? Which he does while wielding a magic wand, I might add. His words have magical power behind them, as potent as any...

Every triggered actions should explicitly say either "no action", "free action", "immediate interrupt", "immediate reaction", or "opportunity action". If it doesn't, check the errata: some were missed and have been clarified. (I think, for instance, goblin tactics is an immediate reaction...

I would love to see most racial feats replaced with racial utility powers, and for most class feats to be replaced with more/better class utility powers. A power at every level, and everything is a power! The e-class leveled features kinda bother me; if they're meant to replace daily powers...

Don't worry: if a bunch of epic-level fey come out, I'm sure there will be a feat that makes turn undead work on fey creatures, too. ;)

That all sounds very interesting, but reminds me far-too-closely of "Well, since you didn't SAY you're character checked the ceiling for green slime before walking into the room, no, they didn't see it; doesn't matter WHAT number you have next to 'perception' or 'dungeonering' on your sheet."...
