I see an encounter in mine crystal ball: It involves a guardian Naga druid with the dire badgers and shriekers which she has befriended via her druidy goodness....

Indeed -- and I also agree that WotC must be mercilessly badgered until they give in!

Aka: Yet Another KotS Review, As If We Needed Any More ;) Ran my usual gaming group (well, a subset of them, anyway) through a goodly chunk of it over the weekend. The group consisted of: Paladin Wizard Rogue Cleric Warlord We'd already done one session with the DDXP characters, so they...

Actually, the pregens for this module have (what I presume to be) the powers that led to marks superceding each other: 1) Paladin Challenge 2) this fighter's variant of combat challenge. This fighter (as opposed to the DDXP one) has a Mark that allows him to get an immediate attack on a marked...

Am I the only one toying with the idea of scaling up a KotS encounter via adding one or two Needledrake swarms? Specifically.... I'm thinking the Dragon Grave encounter, and having the swarms be released by the excavations and start to attack EVERYONE. I'm expecting to have 6-8 players, so it...

I'm running KotS this weekend. At least tomorrow night, probably Sunday, too (hooray for long weekends!). I know I'll have a full complement of at least 5 players, maybe more (hooray for easy scaling!). We'll be doing this until the books come, then I'll start up a nice PoL...

OMG, The Rouse just got owned! :1::1:

I'd hazard it's this; there's another major difference between the DDXP fighter and the KotS fighter which I think everyone is overlooking. DDXP fighter -- 1-handed + shield KotS fighter -- 2-handed maul While the DDXP one has ways of keeping baddies stuck in place, the KotS one is more built...

Welcome to the club. However, this one line made me scratch my head briefly: It took 4th Ed for that to happen? ;)

Plus in this case, the exception makes sense. Sure, you can't trigger your own healing surge while unconscious -- you can't do much of anything besides make Death Saves. Thing is, when the Cleric uses his Healing Word on you and triggers one of your surges, it's the Cleric doing the work, not...

You haven't known true terror until you've seen the monstrosity which is the ferocious, cuddly werekoala.... The horror, the horror....

It's the first -- 1/4 HP + 1d6+3 healing. Plus, the cleric can use it 2x per encounter, so he can dish out quite a bit of healing in a fight. The burst notation is just a shorthand way of saying, "You can do this to any ally within 5 squares." Remember, surges are a daily resource, not...

Well, the explanation as I recall it (I was skimming as fast as possible in 30 min as I had to get home by a set time) was that Fey needs Cha to impress the spirits, Infernal needs Con to endure the suffering those granting power might inflict, and Star needs both for the mental and physical...

They do expend a healing surge, but yeah, they've got set amounts of healing.

Yeah, the cold damage struck me as a bit weird, too, and the radiant as well (note that I only saw the radiant in a single first level at-will warlock power, but didn't do a thorough search either), but if you think in a Lovecraftian sort of way, it makes an odd sense. He had a lot of "cold...

Warlock tidbit: Fey pact powers are based on Charisma. Infernal pact powers are based on Constitution. Star pact appears to be based on a bit of both. Additionally, Star pact stuff seems to primarily do either Radiant or Cold damage. It does have a very Lovecraftian feel to it, but not much...

Hehehe, I'll try to get back there, soon. Just won't be tonite; catching the Death Note movie. :cool:

Well, they can't sell 'em or anything, but they don't mind letting folks fondle --er, browse-- the books, as long as it's kept at the front counter. :)

Random items from browsing the PHB last night (local FLGS has an in-stock preview set): I saw questions about the potions from the KotS descriptions, so I looked at those specifically. Looks like 4 healing potions out there (and I can't remember their exact names, so I'll just go with effect)...

Ah, another Ritual detail I just remembered from my browse of the PHB: any ritual can be cast from a Scroll (one-use item, same as always) and when doing so, it takes half the time listed in the ritual description.
