OK, so, first I would like to strongly recommend Obsidian Portal as a campaign management website. I signed up for an account there and set up my new campaign there called The World We Never Knew. I strongly recommend using it. It takes a bit to wrap your head around it but our group recently...

We wrap up out level 30 campaign tomorrow night. I would say level 3-21 is the sweet spot. Level 1 and 2 work fine, but our group is pretty rules/tactics savy and prefer more options than what you get at these levels. I have found the game a little less enjoyable at the Epic Tier, only...

Score! Looked at an article on WotC site that was done yesterday I think - and it had a purple robed figure! Awesome!

The game enourages you to find a suitable explanation for the effect. So, grabbed, could be described as encouraging the swarm to (effectively) enter your square using food (or bait) for example.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I will go with Bezeb, Spawn Slayer. It conveys his actions towards the Far Realm entities over the course of the campaign. XP for you Goonalan, for the list and the story! Still looking for pictures of purple robed people if anyone has any!

Hey all, I have one final session in our epic campaign. One player has taken the Demigod ED. The campaign has centred around stopping a massive Far Realm incursion. Consequently, his "portfolio", if you will, is destroyer of the Far Realm, protecting the world from the Far Realm. For the...

Note: Skipped most of the thread, don't have time to read it through. But I will add that I largely agree with the OP. I will also add that some players get into a rut, expecting to come to the table to be entertained. Once that habit develops, the player becomes blind to the fact that...

For some reason I am under the impression that falling prone was errata-ed from a free action to a minor action but I can't seem to find it. Am I dreaming this or what?

This. This is why Walls were so strong in our campaign. They shouldn't be useful in every combat. They SHOULD be tricky to use.

Hmmm. I've seen a wizard for 30 levels now. We have one session left in our campaign. There have been two ongoing issues (for the DM) in regards to the wizard. First, his ability to remove creatures from play - particularly with Maze which is Daily and requires a rediculous Int check to...

So , these are the DCs that you would assign for a skill challenge then?

I like this thread. It's kind of neat to see where some of the regular posters are from. :)

I'm not so sure this is a must have... In campaigns where DMs abuse dazed/stun then yep, it sure is. In campaigns where DMs only make liberal use of these powers, then maybe it is, maybe its not. Also, I've learned that if every player takes the same feat, then the players isn't special...

Check out this link. FAQ for Player's Essentials: Heroes of the Fallen Lands! It was posted by Wizards_DND on twitter. Shows a new feat called Superior Will. Basically, it gives you a +2 feat bonus to Will in Heroic, +3 at Paragon and +4 at Epic. Not only that, if you are dazed or stunned...

Only the Red Box which is meant as an introduction to the hobby is levels 1-2. Every other Essentials books covers all levels.

I think the decision to reprint the PH has not been made because they need to sell all the current PH's they currently have. Once you choose to reprint, you get no more sales of the current PH and you get stuck with dead stock that will NEVER sell. It's simple economics really.

The more we talk about Mystara, the more I think it could be done. Especially, if you include add on systems like simplified mass combat and domain/kingdom ruling.

I think they missed an opportunity to further clarify Immunity rules. It would have been better if they included an example of a creature being immune to, say fire, and it took fire and cold damage. This example still gets some debate here at EN World. It's a shame. I do look forward to...

This set does look good! I do have a few questions though. Any idea what the break down is in the box in terms of common/uncommon/rare? And what does the new Very Rare mean - is is 1 per 4 box? Does the Very Rare take the place of the Rare? How many boosters are in a case? As much as I am...

I think every edition has laid the claim that it is high level playable - and every edition falls flat on this promise to some degree. My current 4e campaign is about to wrap up in two weeks (we are 30th level) and while it certainly is playable, there is a lot of work that needs to be done to...
