    Stealth, Perception and blindness

    By RAW Blinded means... All targets have total concealment, thus... The target cannot be seen by the creature and is effecitvely invisible The creature takes a -5 penalty to ranged and melee attack rolls (as long as they are not area or close powers) The creature takes a -10 to Perception...

    DDI September/October Update info

    Lucky you. What about those of us whos workplace actively blocks WotC? Who do over 90% of their prep in transit, without internet? In that scenario we get sodomized.

    Mixed Signals from Wizards of the Coast

    Touche! LOL. Well the latter must exist or there wouldn't be a CB & MB :P In my professional experience the problems occur when the former doesn't.

    The Three Act Goblin

    Exactly! I always meant to do a "2 act" monster to expand on this. My idea is to make the base solo on the weak side, but give it a couple of fairly strong "when bloodied" powers, add some "when bloodied" extra damage/hit clauses to to other key attributes. And give it a "shake it off when...

    DDI September/October Update info

    Just one little observation here. An online-only MB completely screws over folks like me who do the majority of the DM prep intransit. Literally 90%+ of my DM work is done on the train using a EEEPC. If WotC forces me to log in to to that my plans to start subscribing next payday will be...

    Mixed Signals from Wizards of the Coast

    Ah thanks... I think... There's at least three ways I can read that so I figure there's a couple typos in there :P As someone involved in professional software desiogn for 20+ years let's have a think about this. Good design principles dictate that a major rewrite should be unnecessary to...

    So EnWorld, What are you listening to?

    Lemme check my mp3 player... Gorillaz (Gorillaz). Before that it was Bat Out Of Hell (Meatloaf). (Videos are blocked at work, so I can't post them :( )

    DDI September/October Update info

    I just googled "+eladrin +sorceress" at images.google.com and that one caught my eye... The player loves it too :) Not sure where the original is but the full-sized one with the touched-up eyes is at http://www.compsand.com/users/rhedden/Caelynna.jpg

    Mixed Signals from Wizards of the Coast

    I wanted to XP you for that but I have to spread it around first. I completely agree with your assessment. And we regularly get extra delays of a week or more here on the south coast, compared to eastern states :(

    Our Eladrin Sorceress might be 50km away right now but I swear I just heard her start sobbing. I can just see her pretty little bottom lip quivering right now.

    Time per round?

    I like this method because I prefer to reward than punish, which is the other alternative (if you are too slow you auto-delay and eventually miss your turn if you cant work out your shot). And yes I let them use the tokens at any point they want! The black tokens can be used as +3 or to...

    Yes it's still slow :) They are doing their best.

    Time per round?

    Sounds like your group might be a bit grindy. There's two places where grind creeps in. The players' side and the DMs' side. On the players' side it's about knowing your powers well and taking your turn quickly. Our campaign's Combat Notes page goes into more details. I also try to reward...

    Game Economy

    In my campaign the world has a wealth of magic and almost every home will have a low level ("Level 0") magic device of some kind. But higher level magic items are rather rare... Finding someone with the liquid assets to buy one from the PCs at 20% will be a tall order. Increasingly so as the...

    Help me make a sidekick NPC for a player

    Companion characters are designed to fill this niche. I posted a thread for these at http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/280540-companion-characters-encyclopaedia-post-yours-here.html which might help you a bit. That thread kinda foundered due to apparent lack of interest :D

    D&D 4E 4E DMs: What setting are you currently using?

    Interesting. Technically I'm running 4e FR, but it's all in an unknown & unmapped corner and heavy homebrew. Take a look if you like - Rhedden | Obsidian Portal

    Against the Cult of the Reptile Gods -- FREE?

    OK so if that's true now I need to get one of my players to come reinstall and update me :( Does anyone have an official link confirming either assertion?!?
