heres my point: me: I get to attack the badguy because of my mark! dm: sorry, the badguy hasn't actually triggered that ability. (shifts badguy away) me: I get to attack the badguy because of my mark! dm: no me:uh, he triggered the ability, don't I get to attack? dm: no, you get to ask...

So according to you; a declaration of an immediate interrupt - that turns out to be invalid - does not expend the power/ability, but it does count toward the limit of one per turn. but what to stop me from opening my mouth and declaring again 2 microseconds later? would that not then be two...

The DM shifts the invisible creature one square, decides weather the creature wishes to make a stealth check to be hidden. failed or no stealth check: the fighter is aware the creature has moved one square. perhaps it is a shift. perhaps not. The fighter declares he is using his free...

in defence of dragonborn rogues: throwing a minor action breath weapon thats got a very high chance of hitting *someone* on a turn you missed using your backstab damage is really great... happens almost every encounter in my group. plus you can upgrade to lowlight vision if you like for the...

the halfling rogue in our party fares well; their size plays into the artful dodger and at least one of the rogue powers requires your opponents to be larger than you (close quarters, very useful) In the case of titan tripping I'd say shoelaces tied together?

Do you add the ability score modifiers of a beast companion to its relevant defences/abilities? It seems so, because otherwise whats the point of the beasts stats going up every few levels? If it is true, are the companions modifiers already factored in to the level one stats? It notes to add...

Vancouver BC I am going to be hosting a session of DnD 4e on weeknights (the first on the 24th of november, monday) starting around 6pm. Tonights session will comprise primarily of discussion and character creation followed by a short sesh if everybody is down. I'll be sitting in the DM chair...

Are undead immune to the effect of unconsciousness? Would the rogue "knockout" power work on an undead? I couldn't find any monster type immunities, is that done away with in 4e? I've just assumed until now that undead are immune to the sleep spell and poison damage... yet I couldn't find it...

thanks for the review! I'll be seeking this book out and buying it for sure.

Can you not dismiss unconciousness with a healing power, or even a dc10 heal check to prompt your helpless ally to use a healing surge?

I would like my friend to join my dnd game via the computer, using skype or something. Does anyone know of good programs or setups to have someone play remotley? We have a few laptops and webcams, the remote player is using a mac though. Any advice would be appreciated.

Shield rocks... but feather fall is better, so far in my experience anyway. Feather fall has saved the lives of two characters in my 4ecampaign to date, although once they can handle higher acrobatics/climb dc's and survive brutal drops my local wizard will probably switch to shield.

Rad. Yeah i'm looking at spiral tower, but if you can toss around a few different implements in your off hand for the dailies that would rock.

well without changing any of the rules, I'd say the solo needs to take the paladin down as the absolute top priority. Go completly insane right off the bat, using action points, terrain, innocent hostages whatever it takes just kill that paladin, or knock him out or something. Also, little...

So there is no adverse effect on casting arcane magic spells for wearing armor? Just the regular penalty/lack of bonus for being untrained? Can you dual weild an implement and a longsword? Say have the implement (an orb in this case) be clutched in the "shield" hand, longsword in the...

Some rules questions that came up last time I played: 1. The healing potion does nothing if you have zero healing surges left? 2. Many abilities that have effects based off of your stat modifier say "minimum 1", is this the general rule for all such situations? For example thunderwave pushes...

I like seeing these companies standing up for a better deal. More power to them! I hope wizards appeases them and we can have independent 4e stuff like how 3e was.

Me too, though the ritual specifically states that the disc will drop if the ground gives way below it, so theres lots of room to rule it sinks. It seems logical and more or less universally accepted that a person could stand on the disc. According to its description, it really sounds like you...

Yes, well as far as combat goes you allways want very clear specific rules. From this point of view, I would agree with page 57 of the phb. I don't think theres any need to rationalize it though... it's an unapologetic game mechanic. Played without input from the dungeon master, all of the...

The disc will fall with speeds up to and including terminal velocity if the ground gives way beneath it, therfore its movement limits are refering only to its self volition. If it doesn't increase to match your modified speed, I guess ex.retreating wizards are leaving their discs behind...
