    Gaining vs. Granting Combat Advantage

    I didn't say there was a rules difference, I was just clarifying a different perspective of the language. Clearly it goes both ways, but I could see someone inadvertently looking at it as "I didn't do anything to gain CA, therefore everyone has CA against it" or vice versa based strictly on the...

    Gaining vs. Granting Combat Advantage

    gain vs grant more defines a certain scope of the effect. You can personally gain CA against something that nobody else can, but if the target grants CA, then everyone has it. The fighter can both gain and grant CA, after all, since there are some class powers that say "The target grants CA...

    Check Wegmans? I'd be surprised if they didn't have it.

    [Saturday PM] FOURTHCORE: Revenge of the Iron Lich (D&D 4e/FOURTHCORE) *FULL/STANDBY*

    NandKdad makes 6! Any further signups will be standby on a FCFS basis in case of people having to drop out. Okay, now that we have a working party, feel free to discuss your player options and plan a strategy if you like. Keep in mind that this is a battle of player wits more than a character...

    Monster tactics 101?

    When it comes to tuning, try not to exploit player weaknesses; the players will often see through this and realize they're just being taken advantage of. Instead, exploit monster strengths: -Make the combat area (most of it, at least) difficult terrain but use monsters that fly or have...

    Trying to work around a DM's restriction

    I don't believe so. A frost weapon causes all damage dealt by the weapon to be frost; ongoing 10 isn't damage dealt, it's an effect.

    Walking Wounded

    It can avoid the effect by moving less than its full speed, which is often still more than slowed, so it's not as terrible a penalty as you might think. Also, it's less useful considering that most monsters at least have one ranged option at their disposal, plus the fact that there are likely at...

    Trying to work around a DM's restriction

    Houserule it and reflavor Coiled Serpent as acid instead of poison, maybe?

    Splitting the party in combat

    Ashes of Athas has a canyon chase scene in it; the parties are both on crodlu-drawn war wagons and are fighting atop them as they speed through the desert. Each wagon requires driving (occupying the driver's move actions, effectively) and every round the scenery changes (causing different things...

    Play Report: Revenge of the Iron Lich

    I'll be running this at the EN World DC gameday and hope to record the game's audio, if anyone is interested in some actual play. Edit: And thanks for the report Durn, some of this info will be helpful while I prep my own game :)

    Tactical Encounter Problems

    I'm a fan of area bursts to make people spread out, because it's great action economy. People learn quickly that having the whole party eat attacks, even if they're kind of weak, is not good because the leader only has two heals. If your monsters don't have area bursts (either because they're...

    [Saturday PM] FOURTHCORE: Revenge of the Iron Lich (D&D 4e/FOURTHCORE) *FULL/STANDBY*

    This is a 16th level delve written by Sersa V and Jerry LeNeave over at saveversusdeath.com; some of you may have already seen it. I've been wanting to run it for a while now and figure what better time than this? :) Even those of you who may have read or played it already stand to get...

    [Saturday AM] Mage: The Ascension Job (Leverage Hack) **FULL: Accepting Alts **

    With that kind of endorsement, how can I say no!? I've heard good things about both of these games and would love to learn :D (I'm aware signups aren't up yet, just expressing interest; I'll be back to "officially" sign up or whatever on the 22nd)

    Stupid question needs intelligent answer.

    The stances aren't interchangeable because they're class features, not powers. Knight and Slayer both specifically state "You can select two of the following" when pointing out the stances. Plus, as mentioned, they have no level, and thus can't be exchanged easily. (Though once the new...

    CB Mystery

    First off, calm down. Now, did you multiclass (via feats) or hybridize (via class selection)? Which class did you start with? Lastly, as said, Psions don't get Encounter powers (at least, not many of them); they get more at-wills with augments and extra PP. I just tried to hybridize a warlock...
