thanks for the tale bullgrit! that was pretty enjoyable to read from a dm's point of view... I miss the ultra-lethality days. *sniff* Anyway things turned out pretty good for the second wave of characters, they were probably wise to quit right there and retire. Perhaps you can continue to...

yes, they get "spilled" too thin... when they make a mistake sometimes they get too thin and are a little bit paralyzed... sorta. That's what I tell my players anyway.

I'm just starting up a feywild campaign too, in fact my group just jumped into it a couple days ago. I'm using a kind of "time bandits" style map; attached Here's the list of random non-combat encounters from the last sesh: They are my personal notes, so possibly incoherent, and clearly you...

the OP should start graphing this data and have it on the first post... but for my part; How many people in the group have DDI subscriptions? 1 (out of 6) How many of those people spend time behind the DM screen for the group? 1 How many are players only? 5 How many also keep up with the...

Except that the other damage bonus classes are just as effective round 1 as per round 4, whereas the assassin gets penalized for not committing to at least a 4 round attack run... as-is it's a little tricky to make sure you mount all of your shrouds on a target without it getting eliminated...

1 shroud does zero damage... you'd be hooped without at least 2.

I don't really get the "trick" of subscribing for one month every six months... Yes you download all the pdf's, update the CB and MB etc and make out like a bandit; but is it worth saving about the cost of a book to skip having full, all-out and up-to-date access all the time? Presuming you...

Start dm'ing twice as much man. Take over ted's game and become a true master like gary, but without the lameness. Your starring in your own kung-fu movie!

unless of course, it saves your characters life. That would be a much better way of throwing down the non-magical smack from within timestop... some (very few) situations excluded. *shakes fist in air* I've been schoooooooooooold!!!! *rues defeat* We'll make a deal then, next time your...

I just realized that while I don't think ddi will alter my wotc book buying; it certainly makes me reject almost all 3rd party books out of hand. If it's something that should be in the CB or the MB, I'm almost certain to not buy it directly because of ddi. It would be cool if they licensed...

Cashing in your high level spell slots for a subpar fireball would suck, unless you were fighting enemies immune to your high level spells and you were about to get killed. Also note that 10d6 times 4 rounds of summoning anvils is 40d6. I've only seen it once, and all other options were out...

I'm not sure if more fluff would have made the first two MM better; but I am in favor of a little more fluff in the third book for sure. As far as encounter groups go; heck ya I use them all the time. They help big time for winging it, as I'm often forced to do... but the groups sometimes...

another time stop trick: vs enemies who are generally immune to magic, wish for anvils and bowling balls to appear above their heads. They hang in mid air until time stop ends, and then blam. 10d6 is fair in my opinion (half a fireball). Dig a pit under the enemy and throw a prismatic wall...

I have always admired the extra level of quality Paizo has put into the art in their books, and from what I've skimmed through, their modules were a level above the competition, almost good enough for me to actually use - (different issue). I also respect the labor of love the newest release...

No, but the dragon magazine article states that the assassin will be added in the future...

just for kicks; the handouts I gave out... the group started in a cave overlooking a bit of the fey wild.

My group put our old game on hold (at 18th level - been playing regularly from a week before launch) as two players left the country. The old group was a strange party mix... ALL strikers, one controller. So... now we got a new group with a few new players too. Bard, deva - total space case...
