    Recommenations for Evistro mini?

    Looks like I need a handful of Evistro minis for use in at least two of the WotC published adventures. Any good recommendations? A few preempts: -- There is an official DDM figure, the 'carnage demon' from Night Below. I probably even have enough of them, but I just don't like it. -- I'm not...

    Demons, Devils and Celestials! Oh My!

    I'm a huge fan of demons & devils. I'm thrilled that 4E goes to great lengths to not only make them different from each other, but also make them abundant in adventures. I love the plethora of demons in Thunderspire Labyrinth! Which reminds me... I need recommendations for Evistro miniatures...

    Bastard sword v. Greatsword

    I know there has been much discussion about these two weapons, but I largely ignored most of it. But now I'm curious... My perception is that the general consensus is that the bastard sword outshines the greatsword. Are these in fact balanced against each other beyond what the weapon stat...

    'Martial Power' cover change

    WotC_Logan... FYI, the FRCG Drizzt placeholder cover is still all over the WotC D&D website. It's on the product page, on the preview article, even on the homepage showing what's coming this month. But all the online retailers have been showing the final cover for months! People that only...

    'Martial Power' cover change

    Fair enough... and maybe it was an old picture. But where can I see it again? I found it very character inspiring

    Amazon thinks the Gargantuan Draco is out 8/19

    I just received this email from Amazon: Dear Amazon.com Customer, We've noticed that customers who have purchased or rated Pyramid of Shadows (Dungeons & Dragons, Adventure H3) by Mike Mearls have also purchased D&D Icons: Gargantuan Dracolich (D&D Miniatures Product) by Wizards Miniatures...

    'Martial Power' cover change

    If someone does, please post it! Once I saw the new cover, I scoured the internet (with my weak search-fu) for the originally shown cover just so I could save the image--that's how much I liked the original art. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find it. A cookie to whomever does!

    D&D 4E for Dummies --anyone have it?

    I'm thinking of picking this up, but I'd like to know more about it. All the amazon reviews are for the 3E edition. Anyone have some insight on the 4E version?

    Swordmage booming blade "moves away"

    Oh, got it. All shifting does is not provoke OAs. Shifting is still movement, so a shifting target will get boomed. That was totally Busch league of me.

    Swordmage booming blade "moves away"

    I don't have the file in front of me, so I may not get the details totally correct, but here's my question: Booming Blade causes extra damage if the target 'moves away.' Does shifting count as moving away? The basic rules are that shifting is different than moving. But if one can just shift...

    Swordmage: Class creep too fast?

    One thing that reigns in the swordmage powers is that many of them (don't have the doc handy for reference) do set damage (like 1d6 + INT) instead of some multiple of [W]. His powers may be flashy, but they don't deal as much damage. So much for that two-hander now...

    Anyone else excited for Dungeon Delve?

    As a fan and hoarder of Dungeon tiles, DDMs, and 4E, and having a severe lack of gaming and prep time, this book appears to be perfect for me. If so, I hope it spawns sequels!

    'Martial Power' cover change

    Amazon is showing a different cover for 'Martial Power' than was originally advertised. I liked the original cover better, but since it had a dwarf on it, I wondered if they thought it was too similar to the FRPG? (Of course, now I can't find the old cover.) Oh well, I hope they end up...

    Quickdraw needed for throwing muliple daggers?

    Read again... Ranger powers require a 'ranged weapon,' not specifically a bow. Heavy and light throwns are ranged weapons, too.

    Quickdraw needed for throwing muliple daggers?

    From PHB, p.217: As part of Light Thrown: "...some powers let you hurl several of them at once or in rapid succession." (Oddly, heavy thrown doesn't have a similar blurb but I don't see anything prohibiting throwing multiple hand axes with a power.) As part of Load: "If a power allows you to hit...
