    Movement modes with mounts??

    I think it would depend on the specialness of the mount. If this is the nameless horse I bought for five gold and use to get places faster off screen, then no. If this is Swift Wind my trusty steed whom I ride into battle and is as close to me as a brother, then okay.

    Opportunity Attacks

    The confusion stems from people conflating the rules for immediate actions with the ones for opportunity actions.

    Elemental Power Source

    Pretty sure the discussion of elements refers to the classical four, earth, wind, fire and water. I see nothing odd about a creature of air doing both lightning and cold damage.

    It's meant to be played Solitaire all by yourself.

    D&D 4E 4e Epic MinMax Arena PC help

    60 levels of magic items is less then the DMG default which is already weaker then actually playing a character up :/

    An incredible game review article

    Opinions are not free from empirical criticism when they touch on things that can be objectively evaluated. Complexity may be a hazy definition, but it is a real thing. I mean we could objectively order card games in order of complexity with something like War < Go Fish < Poker

    How much to "charge" PCs between adventures? (cost of living)

    Why assume the don't make any money during their downtime? Plenty of odd jobs to be down around towns, especially for heroes with amazing strength or ability to blast things with magic.

    Dragon Tactics: To be or Not to Be a Jerk?

    Lower the dragons hit points a bit and use other monsters. I just don't think a solo monster is going to work very well period against that PC setup. Edit: Also, isn't that setup a L+1 fight? I mean that's just not going to be a challenge, especially when they go 'omg dragon!' and blow their...

    The Essentials articles are atrocious.

    Against an enemy that are hard to hit depending on what portion your strength bonus is of your static modifiers. When attacking with an OA after getting heavy blade opportunity. When the enemy less health then you have static damage modifiers. All situations in which Sure Strike outperforms a...

    The Essentials articles are atrocious.

    Sure Strike is overly maligned. The power is roughly two to three points less dpr then a melee basic at decent to high chance of hitting and it is up to two points more dpr then a melee basic at very low chance of hitting. But of course, the problem is generally the lack of riders since the...

    Confession: I like Plot

    I try to always leave a way to advance the plot, should the PCs choose not to follow up on the plot, well they clearly didn't find it interesting. I try to do less overarching plot and more reoccurring villain types of plots.

    Does Opportunity Gore count as a Charge?

    It's not a charge. You still get the Bracer of Tactical Blows bonus. Yes you could use it in place of a melee basic attack for the opportunity attack granted by agile opportunist.
