I'm not sure how to handle this. Last night I had the players use lay on hands to damage a wraith. I ruled that it did a healing surge worth of damage and ignored insubstantial, and also dealt radiant damage. Thing is, I used a healing surge from the wraith, so it did 1/4ths his hps. Not a...

Not telling people stuff like Reach and Combat Superiority is bad DM'ing if you're doing it on purpose. I don't think anyone is saying they do that on purpose though. Threatening Reach, you should probably tell someone as they close in. A smart monster may be able to hide it once by playing...

Realistically, they are however motivated by profit, and will likely pay someone to figure this out. I'd hope. You'd also think they'd pay someone to meet deadlines, but, eh. I think worrying that you won't be able to log on from multiple computers is unfounded, however, you may not be able...

I'd just let a warlock/rogue sneak attack with it whether they had a pact blade or not. They're a warlock/rogue. Alternatively, you could have been a warlock/ranger, and just gotten hunter's quarry without any problems, for an extra 2d6 (assuming you hit twice) instead of 1d6 once under...

As a DM, I like to make players roll some dice to break up the immersion sometimes -- I use this as a tool if time is a-wastin' as well. As a player, I get bored and a bit miffed when the rest of the party talks for four hours while my character isn't present. This is all too common in games...

I'd say just let him use the weapons he steals from enemies and let them be effective. He's 7, and it's a decent character hook. "I will kill you and kill your friends with your weapons." No need to make him bust out the axes. Just make them all d8/+2 and be done with it. (Unless your other...

Looks cool. Might want to see what everyone else is playing though -- your character is going to lag a bit behind (a little) if everyone else is playing something optimized. If that doesn't bother you, cool.

Realistically, a house rule that works better than the original rules: For one-handed vs. two-handed specialization, One-handed worded as "If your character is wielding a weapon in one hand," and two-handed being "If your character is wielding a weapon in two hands," -- and then you're done...

Heck, I think 4E can handle this pretty well -- unlike previous editions, he isn't simply pulling powers from the fighter and mage lists inefficiently. The swordmage just has a new full list of powers. Lots easier to balance I think. And I liked my Eldritch Knight! Wasn't too bad. I'm a...

That's excellent.

!! No! The furies are not succubi, nooo!

To Lord Xtheth: I don't think your curse sounds that bad. It sounds like you should check your players' dice though... If that curse was stuck on my character, I would probably think it was a bit lame, but largely because 4E does away with save or die mechanics. In 3E it would make more...

I think there is a good idea in this thread. I also think it would be fairly easy to house-rule. Basically, why not let wizards take something like cure light wounds at level 6 as a utility power? (As opposed to it being a level 2 power for clerics.) I think I may houserule this in. This...

If you read page 220, you will see how this is in error. The language of the rules is different for Small creatures as opposed to large, huge, and gargantuan. Not saying it isn't a perfectly serviceable house rule, however! :) Anyway, if I am incorrect, I'm sure Custserv will clear this one...

:devil: Anyway. Custserv already answered and said you can reroll the individual rolls on a 2d4 falchion roll. You can see this on the following link, which was also provided earlier. http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1044906 Designer intent was pretty clearly to make it so that...

So, if you do decide to replace tieflings with Melniboneans, how will you replace the powers? I'm not so sure infernal wrath is out of place (Perhaps change the name from infernal,) but hellfire blood, fiery rebuke, and perhaps even ferocious rebuke seem a bit out of context. This largely only...

The three peaks of Rattadoom refer to the three mountains in an otherwise clear plains. The mountains appeared some two weeks ago, although they conveniently damaged no farms, appearing only at the edge of fields. Only the central mountain has been hiked with a survivor returning. Each...

The sex of a human can also be intersex. One in two hundred people in America are born this way, without a determinant sex. Here's more on that! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersexuality Further, gender as the discussion defines it is fairly obviously not in reference to the definition you...

Also note, if you go to that link, it says that large creatures can use two-handed weapons sized for medium creatures and "treat them as one handed weapons." So the fighter template for a minotaur using a greataxe in one hand would require one-handed weapons rather than two-handed weapons...
