    I cast a blast spell, you say: how high?

    Blasts should be considered one square high, determining who gets hit by them at angles is fairly simple, just turn the "grid" on its "side" and then follow the same rules for moving through squares which have a corner cut off, just don't do 45 deg. angles. ;) For the example given of 15' away...

    Move and charge? Possible?

    Six seconds is a long time... With a 100 lb pack people can cover 18 squares in 6 seconds, the vast majority of high school football players can cover 24 squaress in pads under 6 seconds. Heck I'm old and fat and can cover 10 squares under 6 seconds if there is a beer at the end. (I'd grab...

    We got TPK-ed in the Kobold Hall!

    Saev, doesn't seem like you can get rid of (W+B) on the bottom and not get rid of it on the top. (W+B)(H+.1) = S+(W+B)(H+0) divide (W+B) from Each side leaves us with H+.1=S+H, divide each side by H leaves us with .1=S, which means it will only be better if you have a Str modifier of 0 or less.

    Platemail sold here for CHEAP!!

    Well considering my math was off, (should be 50 years) cows were pretty limited to 1 per family at best. They last 10-12 years before they "milk out", so price is about right...

    Platemail sold here for CHEAP!!

    Figure most people in a DnD world make about a copper a day, round up a tad, that's 4 gold a year. Figure they spend 75% of what they earn... So that's 18 years of saving to get plate... Sounds o.k. to me...

    Making your own power cards

    Backs for Ander00's wonderful power cards. Simple with legal disclaimer. Took the Logo from the backs in the first few pages of this thread. There is no outline border for the backs, cut your cards from the crunchy front side. If you are using letter sized paper (versus A4 which the cards...

    I need a generic fighter - can you help?

    And that is what I get for typing on the road w/o the books... My version was really too good though wasn't it. ;) Don't waste it on a minion, sorry...

    I need a generic fighter - can you help?

    You are "wasting" the damage roll of the power, however, you are gaining +4 damage to the rest of your attacks for the encounter AND a +10% chance to hit for the rest of the encounter. This is on all of your attacks, so OA's, CS, etc. Mix this with Blade Opp., get in the middle of everything...

    New Game

    Well, if you don't mind "mucking up minis" hit them with a hammer that's splattered with red paint. If you are using the DDM minis, hit them with a red hot hammer and then splatter with paint... Course, I guess you could just make a "bloodied" set and rough up, bloddy up a matching set of...

    I need a generic fighter - can you help?

    Mengu, pleasure working with you, perhaps we should open a Character Builder business, one character per pint of Guiness sound about right to you? ;) BTW, mhensley, you might want to consider opening early with Villian's Menace in an encounter which you even think you might use your Daily...

    high level attack bonuses?

    But wait, a level 30 can take out Orcus solo... ;) You can't look at a class nor powers in a vacuum. If the PC isn't going to be facing the monster 1 v 1, then why bother trying to compare them that way? There are TONS of powers which either give bonuses to hit or negatives to defenses, take...

    Very first thoughts after reading 4e PHB

    They don't bathe, so they can refill their lamps with the oil from their hair once per day per character. ;)

    I need a generic fighter - can you help?

    Hey, quote Mengu, not me, I just left off where to put the 2 points from humans. ;) Personally I don't think the trade of a feat to get Plate is worth it over Scale, but he said best armour possible. Going to Scale, then I'd either grab Blade Opp, Improve Init, or Quickdraw, can also pick up...

    Ritual Costs and spell components

    In the "empowering players" spirit, I simply allow my players to decide if their portion of the gold they receive is in gold or component form. That way they don't have to leave the 8th level of Hell to "re-up" on components...

    Can you do a "diamond" shaped blast?

    Thanks Mort, I didn't look at the pdf (dreadful connection in this airport), and was unsure if what you cited was an example given. Like everyone above said, i your blast 3 isn't a 3x3 square, it isn't legal. (Mort's is a 3x3 diamond form the caster's point of view)

    No Random treasure !?!?...

    I guess some of you folks have never used a published adventure, or if you have changed a bit of treasure, "well, it says it is a Spear of BBEG slaying, too bad Bob you have put 12 feats into being an uber hand axe guy. Yes you'll do more damage with your hand axes, but this spear is designed...

    Plate Mail, Large Shield, and Longsword plus standard adv. pack should leave you with some coin left over. At Wills: Tide of Iron Cleave (H)Sure Strike Encounters: 1st Covering Attack if your party "lines" up often otherwise Steel Serpent Strike 3rd Dance of Steel Dailies: 1st Villian's...
