This is to get a feel for whether this is a good idea or not: Since we have Initiate feats that give a "splash" of flavor but do not really give what is needed for paragon paths, my players and I have come up with a possible way to alleviate the issues: Initiate feat gives the first splash ->...

Which is why multi-classing is not all that alluring... Cannot get any ranger PP's because you do not get a ranger style, and there are more, but no books on hand to point them out... I think warlock is same way... choosing a God/dess is almost worthless now because you cannot get channel...

Ok, I just have this weird thought of a massive dragon breathing a gout of flame on his foes... and it is only 5 feet tall... just odd, plain odd... I think the game was intended to be very 3-D. So fireball goes up, dragonborn breath goes up, Turn Undead goes up also.

Agree/Disagree: I agree, not in the 4th ed rules, not technically allowed. BUT, I believe it would not off-set the balance by merely giving the wizard more options. In this, the wizard is special because he already had those options, with more spellbooks, he/she would just have MORE options...

Reason I ask is that the skeleton has under its basic attack "...see also speed of the dead" Just making sure, as monster rules are a bit different the player rules, that this mark did not grant any extra abilities than the typical -2 penalty

I see so many monsters with marking abilities... What do these do? What are the effects?

Answer: Yes, every attack made must include a marker (which is why marks do not stack, they replace old marks). Solution: Since this tactic will really put a damper on the Beholder's fun, throw in a few simple lower level mobs (maybe 3 levels lower) that will soak up some damage from any...

Last time someone asked me to describe shadowfell in one sentence, my answer was a simple: Jack the Ripper would be an Upstanding citizen.

Any thought as to maybe putting it out that there are adventurers' Guilds? Where one could hire a cleric/warlord merc? He would basically be just a Heal-Bot lol

how much damage depends entirely on what ability you use, if after designating 5 enemies as quarries, you use an ability that attacks each one separately and rolls damage separately (like some of the chain attacks I have seen) then no, roll quarry only once. If using an ability that attacks...

Yes the ability is an immediate interrupt, but it interrupts the damage dealing part of the attack, the attack HAS hit. But, the interrupt only reduces damage, does not stop the attack outright. So, what happens is: 1- Mob swings 2- Player is hit 3- Damage is rolled 4- Interrupt reduces the...

Well, one thing is for sure, rings are the right levels for ye! lol As for the rest, should be fairly well balanced with a a lil creativity involved... goblins at low levels, orcs at higher levels, and trolls even higher... more evenly spaced than in 3.x. As for magic items, never was it said...

Well, if you really want a weak spot, maybe going with a max 2 modifier system will work (basic GM rule in the books for 4E, a modifier of 2 usually does not upset anything and can represent a lot) So if the monster is particularly strong willed, instead of having a set of defenses like a...

And, what are the rough chances of an Elf hitting a Halfling? and what modifiers would make one or the other more or less successful?

Ok, Thanks for the info!! We had that come up in last session, and... we had to make a temp judgment, which was that prone does not stop you from making the saves. Just wanted to make sure this was something that others agreed with =)

I know it says if a creature if forced into dangerous terrain (pit/lava/etc) it gets an immediate saving throw to attempt to stay safe, but falls prone if successful... If the creature in question is already prone from rolling a successful save due to forced movement, and it is forced again in...

I believe what you do is first figure out what race the npc is going to be (I assume dwarf but might be wrong?) Then use the DM's toolbox to make the base creature following the rules for making a NEW creature. Afterwards, add on the template for ranger, which makes it elite. 7th level Elite...

I personally would point out that the absolute correct rules state the aforementioned statements from other members, BUT, then state I would rule it almost like the falling into a pit issue. If Target 1 is pushed through target 2's square, then target 2 makes a saving throw to avoid falling...

Ok, so new barb gets rage by using his 1 daily power until he gets a new one at 5th, when he can go rage 2 times per day? And 3rd edition barb could Rage 1/Day at 1st level... and at 4th Rage 2/Day... I see a minor change there, and barbs are way cooler now with extra abilities and feats every...

Ok, now I know we have different plants/trees... The Willow Tree (Lurker) Tumbleweeds (skirmishers) Red Woods (Brutes) Oaks (Soldiers) Not sure what would be the leader... Are there plant/tree minions??
