    Forked Thread: Is Being Knocked out Restful?

    I like mengu's approach as well. Just because you STARTED out K/O'd, it doesn't mean that the condition can't be turned into restful sleep with the kind ministrations of others. In fantasy literature, how many times has the hero been knocked out/poisoned/fevered, only to wake up clean and...

    Forked Thread: Is Being Knocked out Restful?

    Forked from: Boundless Endurance - Seeking Clarification I'd vote that being knocked out is bad, and rest is good, therefore, K/O'd status keeps you from resting. Any other opinions?

    Boundless Endurance - Seeking Clarification

    A Defender SHOULD have enough HP that hovering around the bloodied mark would not be TOO much of a problem. If he's fighting a LOT of minions, or a solo, it isn't the best way to go, however. Which power is the best really depends on the situation. Personally, I like Boundless Endurance. I...

    Swordmage booming blade "moves away"

    I Agree. This is one of those nifty power synergies that act like traps. So nice. Similar to Rain of Steel + ANY power that forces an enemy to move and end adjacent to you. Add this to a Marked character, and they stay (and take damage), or move (and take an OA). There are other nifty...

    Boundless Endurance - Seeking Clarification

    I don't know how the RAW reads in reference to being K/O'd, but I would say that it would interrupt your stance. as an aside, If you were K/O'd for five minutes, would your encounter powers recharge?

    The fate of the Advanced Player's Guide

    Ari, As an amateur designer and an author who got screwed over by MY publisher ( www.amazon.com/Just-Game-Book-Games-Cycle/dp/1588518345/ref=sr_1_1/103-4242188-4899003?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176080762&sr=8-1 ), I want to congratulate you on your good luck here (and thank Necromancer for giving us...

    Can you retrain class features? Would doing so be unbalancing?

    I'm really glad that they included retraining in 4th edition. I have always made a habit of allowing "Tweaks" to characters, especially new ones (even for experienced role-players). Sometimes a character just doesn't turn out the way you want, and you want to switch something out. As long as...

    Quickdraw needed for throwing muliple daggers?

    Personally, I don't have a problem with a character having a handful of daggers/shuriken/slingstones/arrows drawn and ready at the start of a fight, holding them in his off hand. If a player stated that he was "readying" his weapons in this manner, I'd allow it as a standard action.

    What room do you game in?

    The basement of Arkansas State University's library/museum has several large tables and vending machines. That's where I run my games.

    Wizard or Sorcerer Spells as an Extension of Personality

    I love themed characters, not just magic users, thus I created this prestige class: Prestige Class: Pastrymancer Sometimes a pie is just a pie. Other times it is something special. There are many bakers in the world, and then there...

    Warlocks and pacts

    It's pretty simple, but a bit misleading. Your Pact tells you what your At Will power is (barring being a human.) But after that, you get to choose. note that there are rather good bonuses for taking powers that match your pact, though you aren't limited by it.

    Spending your gold on non-combat stuff?

    Lands and titles are important in a lot of our games. In one of the last 3.5 games I was in (and ran, we switched off) the PCs started a coffee plantation in the Lake of Steam are of the Forgotten Realms. We imported beans from Maztica. Our characters were part of Her Majesty's Navy who...

    Clarification on Push needed

    And for the record, you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. You can not offer advice to someone who wants facts (that may or may not exist)

    Forked Thread: Are Targets defined by intent or the effect?

    As a side note, I hate the "invisible marker" thing that a lot of people seem to favor. It's like saying "Here I am, come get some!" then chickening out. It's a challenge. In my games, should a player do this, I would say that invisibility breaks the mark. If A foe can't see the marker, then...
