No. HBO doesn't replace an OA with an at-will, it replaces the basic melee attack component of the OA with an at-will. You're still making an OA.

Considering only one or two powers allow for more than 3 attacks against a single target and most only allow one, I think the name is fine.

Precision damage? What precision damage? And an invisible wall at 200 feet is dramatically better than an invisible wall at 50-100 feet like most other ranged weapons.

Yes, you are. Why should I go through 10 (or more, for elite/solo monsters) time-consuming steps to create a monster that isn't even halfway to complete when it's much faster and simpler to just copy an existing monster of the appropriate level and type and change its powers? Providing rules...

... by using the Enchant Item ritual. Anyone with the appropriate feat may use rituals now. You don't have to be a wizard to enchant magical armor.

Cite. I am just repeating what has been said many times in this thread before you began trolling it.

Wyrmscale armor doesn't use real dragon scales. And, anyway, it does turn ordinary scale armor into special fancy scale armor. That's the point of the ritual.

Comparisons to 1e and 2e are useless. This isn't 1e or 2e. It's a strawman - "look at this over here! At least you have it better than them!" Devoting a section of the DMG to rules that aren't intended to be used - which is what you all are saying in this thread - is a waste of space and...

Immeral's eyebrow arches as the tiefling kneels and whispers to the injured trader, but gives no other indication of whether he heard the whisper or not. "I can track. Give me five minutes and I will return." When the tiefling scurries off, Immeral bends low over the trader and whispers his own...

That's my point, though. You cannot use the rules it gives you to come up with an actual, finished, usable monster. What, then, is the point of having it at all?

You create it by enchanting armor to +4, +5, or +6. I already covered that in my response. You cannot have non-magical masterwork armor.

You're not missing anything. It's clearly a power you're not intended to take. Compare it to Evasive Strike (level 1 Encounter) for a real laugh.

That still doesn't provide us with a viable example monster. Following the steps provided and assuming the "average" is as you describe, then it would have to have an 8 or less in both Cha and Wis to get a 12 Will defense. It has a 13 Wis.

No. Wrong. It gives a detailed, step-by-step explanation for how to create a monster from scratch, including self-referencing steps, but you can't actually use those rules. Here, I'll walk you through using the example of a goblin wolfrider I whipped together as a test. Step 1: Choose Level...

You don't get four attacks with Rain of Blows. I'm actually pretty sure that you only even get the second attack if you have the appropriate weapon, though it is easy to interpret the other way too. I'm certain you don't get the secondary on both attacks if you do indeed get two primary attacks.

All +4 and +5 armor is first tier masterwork (feyweave, feyleather, darkhide, forgemail, wyrmscale, or warplate). All +6 armor is second tier masterwork (starweave, starleather, elderhide, spiritmail, elderscale, or godplate). No armor below +4 enchantment is masterwork. No armor above +3...

Have you actually tried to create a monster using the rules in the DMG? They're actually very vague at certain key points (such as how to assign ability scores and exactly how ability scores should be interpreted to affect the monster) and, because they didn't use those rules to create the...

I submit for your consideration Fire Storm. Top damage AOE, same range as the longest range wizard AOEs, plus it leaves a damaging zone that can be sustained, AND it only affects enemies. And it's a level 19 cleric daily.

We'll see how much work it takes for the first group, first. Two groups won't double that requirement (I can re-use encounters, items, and creatures, for one thing), but it'll still be an increase in workload and I'm sure my Into the New World party won't appreciate anything that slows my...

I still suggest letting it operate as a basic melee or ranged attack.
