Not sure if this has been mentioned before but in the spring of 2011, HBO will be debuting A Song of Ice and Fire TV series. Each season will be about 10 episodes and each season spans a book. Obviously, the first season is based on A Game of Thrones. The pilot has already been shot and...

Totally off topic, but so totally worth brining up. DracoSuave's Avatar is Justin Beiber and his status says he is a harpy. Love it! :lol:

I'd be interested in seeing it. I'd even XP you for your troubles too! ;)

Let's talk about this ability for a second: Desperate Screech (free; when first bloodied, encounter) Thunder Specifically, the timing that this goes off. To make matters simple lets say the PC uses a simple attack power, one attack, a damage roll and no other effects or conditions are...

So I looked into Passing Attack a bit more and I see what you mean. In this case, it is an IR but is essentially acting as an II since the entire attack is not finished yet. So in this case, I would say that the Orc IS dazed and since he still needs to finish his Passing Attack, he would use...

I absolutely agree 100% on this. I2K - I agree with your delaying example as well - I had to think it logically through before posting about it. ;)

DS, this is incredibly well phrased and is a good argument. Fact is though, you can't claim that the Dazed description (you can take either a standard action, a move action, or a minor action on your turn) suddenlty comes into play and prevents any more actions while at the same time not...

That's the thing, I don't believe its a house rule. ;) I believe its RAW. Either is a valid reading of the rules and the rules just are not clear enough to decipher one way or the other in my opinion.

Immediate reactions wait for the action that triggered it to be completed and resolved. Thus, by the time Dazed comes into effect, he still has an action. If this were not the case, the condition would be backward checking (as in, has the person used an action this turn yet?). No other...

If you get Dazed during an action, then I agree with your premise. However, if you get dazed as an immediate reaction or a free action then as far as the Dazed condition is concerned, you have not used up your action because you were not in the middle of performing an action and therefore you...

I agree that this is one valid way of looking at it since the rules are ambiguous about conditions. ;) Another way of looking at it is the way I2K and I have stated our position. Exlained another way - when it comes to conditions, they don't apply until you have one.l You are not unconscious...

And for the exact same reason, dazed shouldn't care what happened before it either. The condition does not care. It should only apply going forward.

This is exactly how our group plays this. Our group has had quite a bit of discussion on how this is supposed to work. Ultimately, we felt that since slow is explicit and none of the other conditions are, we felt it must be different. Just as I2K points out, retroactively looking at what was...

Why would slowed be so explicit then?

I'm not so sure its as clear cut as you think. Once again, slow states the following: Your speed becomes 2. This speed applies to all your movement modes, but it does not apply to teleportation or to a pull, a push, or a slide. You can’t increase your speed above 2, and your speed doesn’t...

Option 1 sounds like Dragon Age and I just finished playing that on the Xbox. I want something different.

That's a good point DS, about slow specifically stopping movement if you have already moved 2 squares. I find it interesting that the Slow condition specifically points this out, yet no other condition is this explicit. For example, if you do a move action and then get dazed, you apparently...

Welcome to the boards! I would do one of two things. First, to save you a lot of work you could plan on designing only one encounter, but reskin it two different ways. Basically, if they choose the sorceress path, do it the way you envision it. If they choose the other path, if possible...

I think the Effect line indicates your answer - it specifically points out the -2 pentalty to cover and conealment which is pretty specific and seems to indicate vision is required as total conealment gives a -5 penalty and this type of penalty is not mentioned in the effect at all.

I think WotC research has shown that 3 big hardback books (DMG, PH amd MM) don't appeal to certain age groups and newcomers who are not already into RPGs. With all the pages, and the DMG with a lot of writing, the books are intimidating and will turn off some users from the game without even...
