Rolling a 1 for damage, not to hit.

Also, I think a Solo would be a pretty mean trick to pull. With so many defenders, and only one mark allowed at a time, they would be at pretty reduced effectiveness. Maybe a solo that attacks from range? Like a. . .Blue Dragon? Kind of the nemesis of such a party. Of course the flip side...

Poorly built? Atypically built? "Hey guys, I just bought a house! It was built *atypically*, but that's cool!" Which can mean your house is shaped like a flying saucer, or it has no roof. Atypical *can* be good (ooh, a party of all Arcane characters) or bad (hey, a party of barbarians. ...

A shroud isn't an attack, and neither is extra damage from Sneak Attack, Curse, or Quarry. Yet, if you have Quarried someone, and use a Daily that does half damage on a miss, you don't assume that the halved Quarry damage will kill a minion, do you? Jay

This problem is (aside from a poorly built party) that you as the DM should not allow yourself to be bullied into running a cheap and easy version of the game you want to run. If they party is having an easy time of things, you need to ratchet things up a bit. Enemies that lurk and strike at...

It sounds much more complicated than you let on. - An auto-win button party is as much (or more) the DM's fault as the players. - Wanting to 'clear the dungeon' is natural, and not always related to loot. - Your seeming lack of control is odd, considering you are God of his world. You have...

I'll add my name to the list of folks encouraging Taclord. Hey, this might make a mildly interesting poll. You think? Jay

Have your cake and eat it? Perhaps give them Action Points every encounter, but also give them some other goodies at milestones? I know at higher levels when rings become available, they improve quite a bit after a milestone. Include more treasure like this, or add a different type of action...

I think this is more a problem of surgeless healing than anything else. Those bonuses *are* really great, but when tempered by a daily surge limit, they seem to come more into focus. In essence, that +2 to healing might be a daily total of 12 HP at the *most*, if surges were required. Maybe...

Doh! Well, I'm not terribly familiar with either the druid or the melee ranger, but I do like: Battle Staff - Isn't that the implement that crits on a 19 for melee attacks? Very cool with Twin Strike, should make up for the *slightly* lower damage die. Mark of Handling - Somehow I missed...

*Everything* in the rules has a duration. (save ends) is a duration. So you keep suffering the effect until a save ends it. Bloodied is a condition like the rest (dying is a condition, too!). You are bloodied until the definition of bloodied is no longer met. Are you at less than half hit...

A shroud is invoked as part of an attack. If it hits, the shroud does additional damage on top of the attack. If it misses, it may deal damage, depending on how many shrouds were on the target. This would be dealing damage on a miss. Minions do not die due to damage dealt on a miss. Just because...

You have some rituals, but not the ritual caster feat. What's up with that? Jay

Okay, I'll bite. I built just the character I propose at 12th level. I played him. He was tactical. He had enough utilities to keep him from getting scratched, which is kind of the point of having a bow with a 250 foot range, IMO. He had a variety of powers, useful for one for or many...

Seeing as WotC is still working on getting the software to work right with their own product, and that product is every-changing. . .yeah. I don't see 3PP support as even on the horizon even *if* it was a goal of theirs. A lot of talk about 'just allowing access' and whatnot, but if the...

No. Assassins are no better at killing minions than any other single target attacker. Jay

Raptor=Hawk, Falcon, or other hunting bird. Both it and Sharpshooter are in Martial Power. Jay

This thread was near a thread about cheese (Defensive Healing Word?) and I was wondering if I missed some sort of delicious theme or something. I mean, I approve if there is such a theme... Jay

Really? Set up flanks? And as *I* mentioned, I don't like the Battlefield Archer, so I don't think I'm missing out on any PP. By taking a Raptor Familiar I can Quarry pretty much whatever I want, scout whatever I want, still take the Sharpshooter PP, and all I am out is Defensive Mobility and...

I built a Warlock for a campaign that never really got off the ground. He was mounted on a riding lizard. I decided to go Star Pact rather than Fey, because I was pretty sure the DM was not about to let me teleport the mount with me every time the boon triggered. As a houserule, I'd allow...
