    Noob DM needs additional help :) (adjusting difficulty)

    Here is my suggestion... Use ranged attacks. Use them against him and his allies. In order for him to mark effectively, he needs to get into melee range. Yeah, he can mark with a ranged attack, but all of the important Fighter powers are melee only, so he'd be giving up on good damage and...

    Hasbro makes money, everyone wins

    Too bad WotC isn't doing this, AFAIK... For the web-based CB it is "all or nothing". You either pay the monthly premium and get all the info in the CB, or don't pay and get nothing. I think that is a wonderful idea however that they should adopt. Something that would help against piracy and...

    Need ideas for a name for personal guards/bowmen...

    Just so you guys know, we went with "The Hellfire Hunters". Thanks to all the suggestions!

    Essentials preview: The purple worm

    Question... This is listed at the end of the description of Devour Whole What effect are they talking about? Is Devour Whole considered an effect? Or is the acid damage he takes at the end of his turn the "effect" they are talking about? This either means that, when Devour Whole ends, the...

    New CB Power Card Pics!

    I wonder why Chaos Bolt has the Target listed within the main part of the card, but Ensorcelled Bolt and Whirlwind have the Target listed at the top? Doesn't seem very uniform to me.

    Star Pact Hexblades up

    I thought the Star Pact Warlock was going to be in an Essentials book? Are you suggesting its DDI only? The only DDI-only class I know of is the Assassin (and didn't a new version of that even get printed? Or will be printed in Essentials?)

    Gamma World question

    Well, it appears that Aura doesn't fall into any of those categories, so I would rule it does its normal damage (no +/-).

    I seem to be missing the point on the online CB

    Ok, so we can not longer download a CB once every few months to get ALL THE UPDATES and NEW STUFF. I get it. My question is, what about the online Dragon and Dungeon mags, and other pdfs and articles? As it stands now, you can do the same... Subscribe to DDI once every 6 months, and get all...

    November 16th release for Web-based Character Builder

    Or, you know, actual books. The kind you can find in a Barns and Noble or on Amazon...

    November 16th release for Web-based Character Builder

    GQLLFM... Oh wait, that doesn't quite make sense here. Then again, people did compare 4e to WoW when it came out, so maybe it does make sense... Hmmm...

    November 16th release for Web-based Character Builder

    Dude, you almost made me piss myself! Hilarious... How dare a company make new products to keep its customers interested and to turn a profit! First MicroSoft (really, what was so wrong with MS-DOS that we needed to switch to a GUI?) now this!

    Need ideas for a name for personal guards/bowmen...

    Thanks, but that is not quite what I am looking for... Some samples would be: Hell's Archer's Asmodeus' Archer's The Brimstone Bower's Names such as those.

    Need ideas for a name for personal guards/bowmen...

    I need some ideas for the name of Lord Thrune's personal guards, who are primarily bowmen. This is for the Westcrown/Chiliex campaign area (I forget the name of the campaign arc). They are worshippers of Asmodeus, so it should be themed around Asmodues or devils.

    Advice on Helpless but not Unconscious

    I may be misremembering, but don't you also have the Helpess condition when you are Restrained as well? Perhaps the power in question has a "stunning" type of effect, or a binding effect?

    Advice on Helpless but not Unconscious

    What spell(s) are you referring to that cause a helpless (but not unconcious) state? I can't think of any off hand. But depending in the fluff wording of the spell, that could help your imagery of why the target is helpless.

    (small) essentials rules change

    This is the most insightful post in this whole thread. I think we can all agree, this solves the whole pesky Detect Magic issues we've been discussing. If you want to Detect Magic, then simply buy WoWGold. Brilliant!

    (small) essentials rules change

    Your little faux scenario there is a misrepresentation of what would happen in a typical group. First off, why is the player interrupting the DM in your scenario? Is he the one running the game? I think if a player said something like that in a typical game, the DM would have words with them...

    Thanks a lot WotC (part 2)!

    The thread closed before I could add my smart alec comment. Actually, I think its pretty funny, so I just wanted to create this thread so I could make my funny comment. You be the judge! Would that be Leeeeeeeeeeeroy Jenkins? I can't believe no one else caught that!... See, wasn't it...

    Essentials are melee heavy

    Huh? So wouldn't that mean they'd prefer Ranged over Melee? Less risk or less chance of death = better for the PCs.
