I've noticed that there are several monsters that although they have the stats for a particular role they lack powers from it's role and instead have powers from another role. They sometimes have different damages as well. I was going to post this as an errata of the first module, but this is...

That map is crap, it makes no sense at all. Follow the spirit of it and modify it. I thought that the central scaffolds wouldn't be useful, but they are great for ranged attackers to shoot, hide, fall back, etc without the risk of melee contact. Of course, as the party climbs up the stairs...

This is easy. A Halfling Slinger (HSl) should not apply sneak damage to it's multiple target attack. His Sling attack, is below the damage normal artillery should deal. With sneak damage, it's a little bit over that normal damage. So it evens out (he should use Hide to gain CA) Multiple...

You can do whatever you want, of course. But if you allow that sort of things you'll quickly find yourself in the most unbalanced game ever created. For example, Hellish Rebuke could become the best at will accross the game, dealing 2d6+(2xCon) at the cost of 1 HP self inflicted by the Warlock...

I assume you are aware that Dead Rising is a TPK encounter. Use the MM monsters if you can.

I totally agree with Skywalker's view. I'm trying to make mini games or mini game templates so that I can use with Skill Challenges.

DMG, page 40, Legitimate Targets.

I added a Brute drake, disguised as an injured Wyvern. This encounter has plenty of possible increases. But I suggest that you remove the traps, or relocate them. As they are, they don't present a threat at all, and they are counting for the XP. I've added another Wight and made the map bigger...

I agree 100% with the review. And I think it's right on the spot about the necessary tweaking that is necessary for the encounter numbers. Having said that, the story and the layout are selling points of this AP. I was really upset at first because of the Dead Rising encounter, but since I see...

Same here. I've ran that encounter twice. First, huge mistake on the party. TPK, not even one enemy was bloodied. Second, almost perfect tactics, TPK. Checking the numbers I've found differences other than nanmaniac's. Decrepit Skeletons: - are doing 6 instead of 4 damage Although their main...

At first sight, I don't think that's possible. How could an encounter be the same for a Barbarian or a Warlord with Commander's Strike and Wolfpack Tactics? Maybe you can add diferent elements depending on role.

Great, I didn't know that. Thanks.

I like that. I'ld also like to involve the Shahalesti in some way, so the PCs have a first-hand experience with them. Maybe the kidnapped council man was already a Shahalesti Spy, or at least a sympathizer. So the plot would be: - Council man gets kidnaped - Thieve's Guild notices this -...

An idea for an adventure After some brainstorming I came up with the following, sketchy, idea: The mission will take place on the weeks before the attack to Gate Pass. A routine patrol, or clearing of nearby caves turns a typical dungeon crawl into an espionage game. PCs clear cave. Something...

So far, my solos fights, as player and as DM, worked just fine, as the rules intended. Of course, you have to pay a lot of attention on how to use the monster. And even if you don't have good terrain, a bold Solo helps a lot. In one encounter, when things promised to get grindy (the fighter...

All the grind combats I've experienced were flat out bad designed encounters. I mean, REALLY bad designed. Having DM'd lots of 4E combats, none of them have been grindy.

Now I have a much more clear idea of what I want. I would like to run some sessions/adventures so that the group: (in order of importance) - Gets into the Gate Pass resistance - Brush or at least know of the Black Horse (the ideal scenario here is to have the Black Horse hold a grudge...

Three sessions, starting on the 11th of April.

Sorry for the late answer. I was negotiating with my players to see how we would proceed. We will be starting fresh 1st level characters. So I have no problem of continuity. But then again, I must DM something before the first adventure comes out. So I'm planning to do a couple of minor...
