Likely that store is going through a distributor like Alliance or Blackhawk instead of directly through WotC. You don't get as large a discount that way, but you have much more flexibility in your ordering.

I'd actually like to see this. Whenever a game decides to define humans, instead of going the whole "humans are versatile and good at everything" route, I feel it helps the game. At least this way, humans will be versatile or determined.

It sounds like you want an Elf Rogue with the Cunning Sneak build from Martial Power 2. Take the Treetop Sniper feat (Lets you Sneak Attack with a bow). If you want to add a bit of magic to your arrows, check out the idea of Alchemical Ammunition from Adventurer's Vault. One feat, and your...

Ooh, is that before or after the Vault of the Donkeyhorse mega-adventure?

Here's an idea, because much of your design comes from a (legitimate) fear of a solo being neutered by the Stunned and Dazed conditions. Add the following: Triggered Action: Burrowing Retreat Trigger: The Purple Worm becomes Dazed or Stunned The Purple Worm immediately shifts 3 squares down...

Critiques!! On the Purple Worm, I kind of see the idea of a purple worm as a creature that bites, and holds on. Very dangerous if he gets ahold of you, so to speak. I think it would make more sense if the Drag Under required the worm to be grabbing a creature first, that way it captures the...

My money is on a new setting. The only reason there was hype and buildup to the 2010 setting was because it was an old favorite. We've had three established settings in a row, WotC probably thinks it's time for a new one.

Anyone can do whichever ones they think need work.

So, MM2 changed solo design, and MM3 changed damage values and defenses for lots of monsters, so where does that leave our poor, old MM1 monsters that we've depended on for so long to eat our PC's alive and inflict fates worse than death upon them? It leaves them here, that's where. I propose...

All the mathcraft in the world doesn't trump actual play. I've run the encounter, Raven's run the encounter. Both wound up interesting and fun. I wound up with a nearly dead wizard in the worm's gullet, and the rogue on the way down before the rest took him down. It's not difficult to build...

I agree too. You can make interesting encounters with them, but it takes too much damn work. I want solos I can take right from the book and throw at my party.

@Aegeri- I think you overestimate that particular party's ability to deal damage. Yes, there are a lot of stun/daze/immobilize effects out there for a paragon party, but they do run out. And unless your party is willing to chew through all their dailies for a standard encounter, the big bag o'...

Alright, we'll go classic then. Sword and board fighter, Brutal Scoundrel Rogue, Wis Cleric, Wand Wizard and CHA Paladin with a big ol' hammer, all level 16 to make it a standard encounter. Setup is in a desert badland, with rocky terrain an a large number of 15' rock formations with channels...

There are quite a few solos you can do this with, but you do need interesting terrain, and you generally need to avoid Soldier and Brute solos.

Name your party composition.

It's also worth noting that a single edge, Hard to Kill, completely removes this problem.

http://www.peginc.com/Downloads/SWEX/TD06.pdf Behold, test drive rules. I'm a huge fan of the system, and as far as I know, it's still going strong.

Orlando has a plethora of gaming stores. First, there's Sci-Fi City, which is gigantic. They've got 10,000 square feet of gaming goodness, and they're one of the largest stores in the country. On the north end of town, technically Winter Park, there's Rhubarb Games. Rhubarb is a smaller...

Keep on the Ponylands? The Temple of Elemental Equestrian? The Tomb of Horsies? The Stallionless Citadel?

There's a lot of other factors to take into account as well. A higher Trait die decreases the chances of a critical failure, always, and this is a big deal when dealing with spellcasting, friendly fire, or most any other roll if you have a particularly vicious GM.
