Spell Anchors (Level 9 Gloves, AV) - doesn't get you out of a stun, but can help you sustain for a round despite a stun.

I second this. I had a Dragonborn Sorcerer with the Scion of Arkhosia PP which gets an at-will fly, I got a tremendous amount of use out of it by flying up to good safe sniping positions, going after archers on roof-tops, and bypassing difficult terrain.

I've got a L3 Whirling Slayer Barbarian, and I'm trying to figure out how all the potential free actions stack up. Here is what I have: Rampage: Once per round when I crit, make a Melee Basic Attack as a free action. Whirling Lunge: Once per encounter when I reduce an enemy to 0hp, as a free...

Only showing the signature once per page used to be the default option: http://www.enworld.org/forum/meta/137564-signature-question.html I found a reference to it being broken on the Old Master Bug List: http://www.enworld.org/forum/meta/205701-old-master-bug-list-5.html#post4337560 I see the...

I voted "mixed bag", I like it well enough to keep playing with my established group which has embraced it, but not enough to be willing to run it regardless of the group. I guess my real opinion is "I guess a 4e game is better than no game". One thing I found interesting about this poll is...

Remember that Diplomacy during an encounter is slooooow. It usually takes 10 full rounds, or you can rush it to 1 full round action if you take a -10 penalty. Seeing how the opponents will frequently be hostile, he would have to have an extremely high skill bonus to be able to shift them to...

Not to pry too much, but are most of the site expenses bandwidth related? If so, have you considered optimizing the site to reduce the bandwidth load or making minor changes to reduce the bandwidth usage? Minor changes can have a big impact on the actual bandwidth used by the site. For...

IME, the biggest problems in the previous versions of MechWarrior has been trying to integrate the RPG characters with the tabletop minis game. You tend to either end up with starting pilots that aren't even qualified to look at a mech, or starting pilots that are more skilled than the elite...

This does raise an interesting conflict with the Kalashtar from the Eberron Player's Guide. By the RAW, if a Kalashtar is suffering from a condition that is dazed or dominated that gets worse on the failed save, the condition would never worsen because the Kalashtar doesn't make a save against...

Funny you should mention that, I do have a L9 Dragonborn cosmic sorcerer in another campaign with the same DM, and he isn't much more interesting. I do a lot of damage, but it is still very vanilla, and due to the length of encounters I still spend better than half of each fight dropping Acid...

1) I've got Wolf-pack Tactics as my 3rd at-will (human). I use it maybe once per session, and even then usually no one wants the shift (the other players are very good at getting themselves into the position they want to be in). I had Viper's Strike for several levels and never once had the...

I've been playing 4e for about a year now, and in that time Cormax, my Resourceful Warlord, has progressed from level 1 to level 9. He is wonderfully effective, dishing out healing, attacks, saves, init bonuses, and damage buffs (the Wizard in the group especially likes the +10 damage on action...

We play it by the book (minor to draw, minor to stow) with the exception that if you are using a 2 handed weapon, our GM lets you switch between the 2-handed "can attack" grip and 1-hand "carry only" grip as a free action. So my ResLord with his longspear can switch to carry it in his off-hand...

I'm currently playing a Cosmic Sorcerer, and after a couple sessions, the GM decided that "Phase of the Stars" was a little too good and needed to be adjusted. As written, each time the sorcerer is missed while in Phase of the Stars, they would get to teleport as a free action (in my case 3...

We use MapTool and Ventrilo for our online game, it has worked really well for us. For the games I run, I notice I spend a lot more time on prep than in face to face games, but that is because I like to set up macros for the enemies attacks. I have macros set up to streamline tracking damage...

If I drank beer (or my preferred hard cider) the same way I drink sodas while gaming, my wife would have to carry me to the car. :) Our groups don't tend to drink much during gaming, but we all have to drive to the location, and several of us (my wife and I included) just don't drink much at...

Our 4e group has a player with character ADD, we are level 8 and he is on at least his 5th character. The background behind the character to justify the constant switching is that he is really a MMO player from our world that is transported to the game world, and when he switches characters in...

Opening Shove gives you a choice of two secondary effects, either you can give an ally a free swing at the target you shoved, or you can give an ally within a certain range a shift. My current favorite tactic is to shove an ally (2 squares thanks to Rushing Cleats) and then give the same ally...

It's the first time I've heard Wahoo used in reference to RPGs too. When I first started reading the thread, I was trying to figure out what the University of Virginia fans did to deserve their own RPG style. :) Regarding the original topic, I prefer more overt fantastic elements in my games...

In my games Dispel Magic really became valuable once the PCs and the enemies started getting access to long duration buffs (hr/level) at a sufficient level to last most of the day (Mage Armor, Greater Magic Weapon, Magic Vestments and Hero's Feast to name a few). But below about level 8, it...
