    Spirit Companions (and other Power Effects) outside of combats

    No it doesn't. You can take a short rest and recover it's use.

    Damaging Allies in Combat - Is it acceptable?

    Yeah, friendly fire is usually lack of good tactics, and maybe teamwork.

    Damaging Allies in Combat - Is it acceptable?

    Speaking of damaging allies, you (all) are damaging the thread.

    Spirit Companions (and other Power Effects) outside of combats

    I don't know if you're talking figuratively, but Spirit Companions can't watch anything, they are not creatures.

    Making a Physical Skill Challenge that Involves Everyone?

    That's a bad Skill Challenge, it has almost no decision making. (like almost all published SCs, for that matter)

    Free initiative tracker for iPhone and iPod Touch

    Feedback: Usability: too many steps for too little: to simpli add a text and a number I must: click, understand a new screen, focus on the initiative field, focus on the text field, press Roll and then Add. It would be MUCH more clear, fast and intuitive to "Add monster" and have it go directly...

    The mouse over is AWESOME, I loved the feature the first time I saw it. VERY handy.

    Behir problem from MM2

    Couldn't you just rule that only one penalty applies? (i.e. no penalty stacks with another)

    WotBS WOTBS Edarnia Campaign Journal

    Hi! Welcome and congartulations on the journal! One note (spoliers!): Torrent will return in adventure 3 to it's mentor and to a coast city, so the Sea Cleric theme will be brought. Is the Sea Goddess also weak on coastal cities?

    Behir problem from MM2

    Well, the orbizard shouldn't matter in the design of Elites and Solos, that's something that should be fixed on it's own. If a class/build/combo/whatever is unbalanced, I won't change all the other aspects of the game to make up for it. Having said that, you are right the powers work...

    Spirit Companions (and other Power Effects) outside of combats

    I let the Spirit Companion be summoned whenever the player wants. Note that you must allow that for healing purposes, so PCs can take advantage of it's bonuses to healing, like all other Leaders can do. As for not having to summon it into combat, I allow it to have it pre-summoned and put it...

    Behir problem from MM2

    Ok, forget the above post, I thought you were talking about ongoing and dazed effects ON PCS. Now, let me answer you on the correct context: Yes, you are right, it's very tricky because it's not the same. You CAN daze a group of monsters, but not at the cost of a single use of a power. So...

    Behir problem from MM2

    Thanks for the interest :) The main point of what I'm saying is: "We can treat ongoing damage in a way that makes Expected Damage from a power more easily estimated" Ok, now I'm the one that don't understand :) I'll try to answer what I think you are saying: 1) Yes, group of similar monsters...

    D&D 4E D&D Minion, app for managing 4E encounters

    Cool. Very simple, very clear. I'll try it out and then post my comments. From just looking at it, it lacks a way to track HPs, but that's ok, I can put it in the name of the creature. BUG: I've added the Blind condition, when I removed it it didn't remove the Grant Combat Advantage...

    Undead and Vulnerabilities

    I kind of share your feelings. What I don't get is how a monster that has Vulnerability Radiant 5 and Resist Necrotic 5 is balanced against a monster with no Vulnerabilities and Resistances. It's not. Maybe been Immune to Necrotic and been accompained with monsters that do Necrotic area...

    Replanting the living blade

    I think the blade should stay with the party (if they want to) at least for Adventure 3. And I think it's fair game until they hit Paragon levels.

    WotBS Redesigning Burning Sky Skill Challenges

    Environmental hazards and features in cities?

    Pile of stuff to drop on PCs (stacked boxes/cargo on the side of a street, or on a wagon or cart) A tent to drop on PCs, ensaring and blocking line of effect/sight. Horses tied to poles. Dogs that get excited and start to bark and cross pathways. Mud pools. A "piano been lifted" kind of hazard...

    A new monster class: the Underling

    I like the idea. I wouldn't bother rolling damage or assigning thresholds or hitpoints. Two damage taken, and it's down.

    Damaging Allies in Combat - Is it acceptable?

    I wouldn't have a problem in receiving friendly fire IF there was no choice. But as far as I saw, all firnedly fire scenarios I was in, were because of poor tactics, and unwillingness to coordinate. So, for me, based on this experience, it's not acceptable to lazily throw an AoE while I'm there...
