How did you get your screen? I thought it wasn't due out till next month.

We once had a 3.X game in which the DM (hew to the gig) told us to make whatever we wanted, as long as it was legal. We had just picked up Bastards and Bloodlines (Awesome book) and I had the bright idea that we would all be half-brothers of a High Elf Bard father that was... not too picky. I...

To reply to the idea of a housecat killing a minion: Minions are only minions to PCs, this should be obvious. Farmers and housecats and raccoons are no threat to minions. A horde of Kobolds comes to town, and the farmers are like "Well, 90% of them are minions, so to heck with em" I think...

And this is why powers that allow you to shift more than on square are so powerful (expeditious retreat, anyone?). Gotta LOVE anything that lets you shift a lot. You RULE the battlefield.

Ultimately, minions are what they are. Cannon fodder. If you want tougher minions, have a Leader type hit them with some Temporary HP. Guess what, they will probably STILL fall in one hit. The WHOLE point is to have lots of fun stuff to kill without a lot of bookkeeping. Kobold nests...

I dig your sig, by the way. My next tattoo is going to be polyhedral dice that say 3-4-08.

Greets! I am not attempting to flame or be argumentative here, but this is such an antagonistic response to what has otherwise been an interesting and intellectual debate. I have to ask why?

You get to apply all of your bonuses if you meet the wording of the power (Weapons, implement, etc). Especially if you paid a feat for them. Note: You are NOT required to use all of your bonuses. if you for some reason wanted to forgo them. The only time you do not add certain bonuses is...

PHB pg 278: ONGOING DAMAGE ✦ Start of Your Turn: You take the specified damage at the start of your turn. Example: If you’re taking ongoing 5 fire damage, you take 5 points of fire damage at the start of your turn. ✦ Saving Throw: Each round at the end of your turn, make a saving throw (page...

Pushing is also very useful to for the fighter that wants to get into the thick of things (surrounding himself with baddies by pushing into their ranks to unleash Sweeping Blow) or to push THROUGH the ranks (TO put a Villain's Menace on the BBEG!)

I just re-read the power, and I conceed the point. It does not have the "Trigger" keyword, and it says clearly that you have the Regen WHEN you are bloodied. Still a really good power, and will keep a fighter (in this case, the Half-Elf Glaive wielder that I am working on. +2 Con, heh heh!)...

You can almost look at all of the baddies in an encounter as a "pool" of HP. When you carve into the "pool", certain pieces fall off. A minion dies when you do 1 point of damage to the "pool". Think Sci-Fi. You are fighting a capitol ship. You do 1 point of damage to one of it's weapons...

It seems that some people are reading this power to say that you Regen till you are no longer bloodied. I read it to say that you Regen till you are full or you drop the stance (or the duration runs out or the encounter ends, etc) being bloodied is just the trigger, not the cap on the...

I used to play a Duergar Fighter named Calloway The Gravedigger (the only job he could get in the surface world) who wielded an adamantine spade. (His style was fashioned after Mean Mark Calloway, AKA The Undertaker) Give the darned Halfling a cane sized staff, and if he attacks, use club...

I wanted to have a game where all the players controlled intelligent magic items that controlled characters. One guy plays a sword that has a fighter, one guy is a Robe of the Archmagi (with a mind) who controls a mage, etc...

Again, Exception Based Rules. The basic rules state that you can only use one AP per encounter. Some powers break those rules. It's how this game was designed. I don't see why this is so difficult. Specific beats general every time.

I agree. You issue the DC to an enemy, saying "Yer next, pencilneck!" or some other worthy insult, and then the pencilneck in question gets to quake in his boots till the next round, wherein you proceed to knock him out of them. Not overpowering, not an abuse, just good, clean roleplaying!

no no, I LOVE this aspect. I hate the tactic of using DC, and running away. Standing back and saying "Come and get it!" while staying in front of yer squishy buddies is a VERY paladinlike thing to do. I love this tactic. (even if the rules do/don't support it, a player in my games would be...

A wizard's staff is a walking stick. It doesn't HAVE to be able to be used like a quarterstaff. I have seen lots of short walkingsticks. They are called canes. Perfect for the Halfling wizard, and great flavor. Maybe even a cane sword. It's a game, do it however it's fun for you AND the...

I see DC as a way of the Paladin calling someone out and saying "Yer Next!" and then kicking that person's kiester. I don't like the CONCEPT of a coward paladin, and even if the RAW allows it, I wouldn't allow it in my game. An Archer Paladin, who shoots down every foe before he can even reach...
