I realize I am only barely computer literate, but I cannot get those big enough to read. No matter what I use to open them they are teeny tiny. Any suggestions?

Why do you care Derren, you won't be playing it anyway.

Thats a good point. I shouldnt have said Xbow as it was just for an example, could be any ranged attack. Would have to take reloading into account tho definitely.

No, Mr crapper-upon-all-4e-threads. Actually since the breath weapon is a blast it means the dragon breathes at a square and engulfs an area 5 squares in diameter around that square in acid.

Thanx, I forgot it was a free to drop prone, thats what I get for not bringing my books to work.

but ya know, now that I think of it, with the way soem of the 4e powers are written, I could make it a standard action to pop up AND fire, then use a move action to duck back down couldnt I?

OK, if I have 4 monsters in a room, lets say bugbears, with 2 of them behind a turned up table for cover. When the PCs get to the door, these monsters are already ducked down behind the table. What I want to do is, on their initiative the 2 behind the table jump up and fire their crossbows...

I wonder if the thinking was that during most combat encounters when the Paladin will be in there mixing it up with the bad guys, some member of his party that is not as heavily ACed as he is is going to need a little AC pick me up. With the Paladin being a Defender, he cant be everywhere on...

I find that strange as well. With Lay on Hands I am wondering if maybe in early playtests it was truly at will and limited to the number of healing surges the Paladin has, but that turned out to be a little overpowered. I could see a battle where the Pally goes all alpha (Black Dragon...

My guess is it may have originally been like this, but since the paladin is going to be in the heat of the battle scrapping it out maybe they wanted to consolidate some powers so the paladin wouldnt have to use extra actions to help buff. But I really don't know, just a feeling I get from some...

I apologize for the snark, but my tolerance for the human race has pretty much dropped to the nil set this week. What I meant to say was, why should they change it just because you and a few others find it lame? What is lame to you may not be lame to all of us, therefore, since it is really a...

I find it interesting that some of you declare the Shielding Smite explanation as "lame" yet don't ever undertake to come up with your own explanation for it. Let's hear your mighty minds come up with non-lameness. I am fine with Shielding Smite as is. The Paladin is a warrior for his/her...

I couldn't find this posted anywhere else here. I made a screen capture from the VTT demo # at DDXP as shown on GZ at Youtube. At one point they show the screen which has displayed all of the beholders eye rays. I am trying to make it bigger so they are readable. I am not very good at this...

Hong, isn't that similar to the original plan for Australia? *ducks*

heres what Mearls sent to me;

I apologize for being too lazy to find the link at this time, but check these boards for an adventure called Raiders of Oakhurst. It was written using the pregen characters from DDXp as well as some of the leaked monsters. Play thru it and see if it helps your head to wrap around a few things...

GodSpeed Gary In 1985 I went to Milwaukee for my first GenCon. My best friend and I were staying at the Hyatt. We went down to the hotel bar on Thursday night to have a couple of pre-dinner drinks. We sat up at the bar and as I looked to my right I realized the man sitting next to me was...

So, in effect your saying that if my group plays 4e, despite our stessing of roleplaying, and our many years of roleplaying experience, we won't be able to roleplay using 4e? Cause that is what it sounds like you are saying.

*stands at podium* Hi, my name is Eleran and I used to be a simulationist. just to clarify, i am now a strong believer that verisimilitude is the job of the DM and the players, not of the rules system.

excellent point. Maybe Fly isn't under-powered now, maybe it was overpowered before.
