    Party of 9

    Good lord! Honestly, if there is any way you can split into 2 groups, one of 4, another of 5 you will find things move along a lot faster. The game really beings to bog down with 6 or more. If you are hesitant to do this, just give a try for a single session with only 4 or 5 players just to...

    Martial Power 2 Excerpt - Combat Styles

    I agree. Plus, if you plan on using these feats, you really need to sit down and preplan your character even moreso than before so that you don't gimp yourself. I, too, feel it is too specialized. I like the idea, just not the execution.

    King's Castle Effect

    Huh. Learn something new every day. I'm pretty well versed in the PHB but I can't honestly say I remember that passage at all. Thanks for the info!!

    Question about Talon Amulet

    I agree that it is on all attacks for an entire encounter. It certainly is powerful but a DM can work around it and punish his buddies instead of the wearer when appropriate. I would also say it is in line with some class daily powers which tend to help turn the tide of a fight but keep in...

    King's Castle Effect

    Good question. No simple answer. Since there is no quantified movment happening (or at least spelled out) - and the only word used to indicate movement is "switch places" I'd likely rule that there is no OA. In the end, does this ruling break anything? No. Is it reasonable, yes. Is my...

    King's Castle Effect

    I would put this under voluntary movement - that is, its similar to a shift, and therefore both parties would need to be able to move. However, unlike a shift, it would not trigger any enemy's ability that requires a shift if that makes sense. Another advantage is that it ignores difficult...

    Ring of Sympathy Ruling Required

    Perfect! Thanks. BTW, its page 279. I couldn't find it so I did a text search for your phrase and found it on 279. ;) Edit: I2K - With this particular passage in the PHB, I certainly agree that the wording is just fine now!

    Ring of Sympathy Ruling Required

    As DM, that was my take as well. ;) If anyone has any rules text to support this it would be appreciated.

    Ring of Sympathy Ruling Required

    The property on a Ring of Sympathy is as follows: Once per round, when you save, one ally within 5 squares of you who is also wearing a ring of sympathy can make a saving throw. The DM and players disagreed on the interpretation, particularly the phrase - when you save. I'm looking for help...

    WotC errata boards? Are you saying you support their website?

    Any Dark Sun info from DDXP yet?

    I'm curious about the weapon breakage rules. Is this non-magical weapons only? And I assume implements don't count as weapons.

    How do you plan role playing?

    I2K, You could always take a cinematic approach. If you know the PCs need to roleplay with someone, figure out how to make it cinematically exciting that is tied to the story. Maybe the bad guys bust in, maybe a plot hook for the bad guys get exposed, maybe someone else steps in and throws a...

    DDXP 2010 News and Updates

    You are absolutely right. Since the cons are about marketing though, and it creates a lot of chatter and buzz on the net about the new things, WotC would be well advised to take advantage of that on DDI articles too. Even if its a design diary or even just a bit more in depth than what the...

    I hear ya...At least you've gone. I live in Canada and have yet to go to a Con of any type. I'll make it one of these days.

    Actually, I was incredibly pleased with this set. It was the first time I bought 2 cases and got every mini! So, obviously the distribution was great for that set!;)

    DDXP 2010 News and Updates

    I am curious, though, what the surprise for DDM is later this year. Probably the announcement of a Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Rare! :rant: Edit - I would also like to know in more concrete terms how much more limited Orcus will be. Does this mean my local store needs to put in...

    DDXP 2010 News and Updates

    I get the sentiment that you feel behind this but I feel this might be a bit misplaced. DDXP is essentially a marketing or sales tool. They use these "Cons", if you will, to draw new people into the game. Keeping that to DDI subscribers would be counter to this strategy. Rather, Wotc, should...
