    Fighter's Mark makes DM combat less fun

    I tend to believe the flavor of the game is to have fun, and in a sense that includes the DM... Also, I believe the flavor of the goblins is to be almost like kobolds, dancing around and moving confounds their enemy into a lil frustration =)

    N00b question about basic attack

    Well, personally, I would use thunderwave to cut down trees... has a push involved that just cannot be beaten, and you could get more trees... surely a couple rounds of that would suffice to break some decent shrubbery??

    N00b question about basic attack

    OR... Could have regular human fighters wielding greataxes who use cleave and mow down TWO trees at a time! =)

    Fighter's Mark makes DM combat less fun

    I found a good deal of fun using the fighter's challenge and superiority against the group: Group of goblins, including (but not limited to) a goblin underboss and a goblin hexer... Gobbies move in, fighter misses a few who then get to shift (and he whacks at one again due to challenge) misses...

    D&D 4E Question on creating an encounter in 4E

    Actually, there are several ways to make an enemy: 1- Level up a creature in the MM (this just makes ema wee bit tougher) 2- Add a Template (usually mixes some unusual abilities in to throw players off: IE a Brute type with "spells") 3- Change it to Elite or Solo using the rules in DMG (often...

    FR Preview-Sword Mage and Genasi

    Hide maybe, but no hvy armors (not mentioned but... so str can be drastically lower), they are pumping their Int through the roof, and the heavy armors will actually hinder the character. And Hide requires only a 13 str and 13 con. Weap prof's/feats require a 15 str (hvy blade opp), and 21 str...

    FR Preview-Sword Mage and Genasi

    I agree Why go for strength with a high priority? if you have a 12 or 14 str, should be perfectly fine. I personally see Tieflings as being awesome for the class. With the feat for adding the +1 att/+1 dam to all Keyword:Fire powers? and the encounter power they get to add charisma bonus to...

    D&D 4E What is a "class" in 4E?

    Oh Noes!!! Are you talking about resurrecting Skills n Powers from 2nd Edition? Or having Various Themed books containing skills and powers grouped into those particular themes? (ala Gurps/Rifts) Dunno, I kinda like the way it is now ;)

    Opinions and advice on new creature

    Would this be too powerful for a group of 6 1st lvl's? The encounter will have some other mobs there also... a Hobgoblin Warcaster, an Orc Raider, a Goblin Skullcleaver, a Gnoll Huntmaster, 2 goblin cutters, 2 orc drudges, 2 hobgobling grunts, and a hyena. Sounds like an awful lot, but with 6...

    What happened to "Race Matters"?

    Racial does matter... A lot more than it used to: Eladrin can still do a once per encounter 5 square port. Elves are still unaffected by difficult terrain when shifting. Tiefling continue to be masters of burn and fear. Dwarves are pushed/pulled/slid 1 square less. Dragonborn still kill lots...

    CustServ on "What is 'an attack'?"

    Then we have the somewhat obvious problem: How does one evade a wall? hmmm The reason there is no attack is that it is an object being placed into the battle field. You cannot exactly evade something just showing up on top of you, and not taking damage once it is there is a simple matter of...

    Half-elves and +2 CON

    Hybrid Vigor Is that anything like putting JP8(jet fuel) in a Toyota Prius? :D

    Grading At-Will Powers

    Thunderwave & Scorching Burst I love these two abilities, and if played human would have picked cloud of daggers as a third most likely... Scorching burst is a much better minion killer in the long run because even at high levels it still does the pre-req of 1 damage(or more) on a hit, and...

    Scimitar Dance:is it better to miss?

    yes... Imagine, after the group of 6 rangers slaughter the hive of elder red dragons (not sure why there is a hive but...) They are taken out by 4-8 carefully placed minions, due to the fact that the rangers have made sure not to gain use of ANY magical weapons or feats, to ensure that they...

    Warlock minion killer - does this work?

    Well.... there is a neat way to wipe out minions free of charge pretty much... With the rod of corruption to spread the curse, a pact blade and fey pact are broken... Sage/WotC already agreed in e-mail (we had to ask!) That you curse a minion, the minion will attack, take a point of damage...

    Forbes Article about leaked PDFS

    Now that the documents are out though, it is too late to get em back or reverse time (unfortunately), so we should know that wizards has their very own spin doctors and such analyzing every tiny detail and possible approach to turning this into a good thing for them...

    So why can ANYONE use rituals?

    I do not see it the same way as most of you obviously... I don't see the uniformity you speak of... inferring that everyone will be uniform and "equal" is like assuming that every human in RL will become good at everything... Construction workers will be programming computers as well as anyone...
