Adjudicating incremental distance penalties isn't fun.

Oh boy! Level 7 traps with DCs under 20. Can't wait to nail my players with these...oh wait, the level 6 ranger has a passive perception of 24, he will see all of these traps automatically unless he is blind.

I'm beginning to wonder if Toughness is too good...every one of my players has it, and when they survive a blow with 1-5 HP, they just grin and say "Who's tough? I'm tough!" I'm pretty sure they have some sort of bet or plan going on behind my back, now that I think about this situation. =)

Yeah, that explains a lot. :) I was just turning around on your +2 AC/Tide of Iron post with a "more damage/different power" thing. Both of the defenders in my Sunday game are 2H (a pally and a fighter although the fighter has a new character), and they are (were) excessively nasty. They have...

That sounds a bit too convenient for me, especially coming from the guy who asserts he doesn't know what he's being attacked with or how good the roll is. Your entitlement speech fell on deaf ears, too. Ah, ok. You can still move with your own move action, though. So I don't really see where...

Why are you implying that I don't know rules? 2H weapons do more damage (up to +2 on average, which actually increases with multiple dice attacks). Tide of Iron is useless with a 2H. Reaping Strike is awesome with a 2H. Using a 2H is awesome. Reaping Strike is awesome. Awesome = awesome.

It is. Check out the new errata. =) Pretty much. I disagree with, well, basically all of this. I don't see what is "too good" about a wizard turning an AC or Reflex hit that was a near miss into a miss once per encounter. The way to get around Shield is to attack Fort and Will, not to say...

You know what else is awesome? +2 damage and Reaping Strike. :cool:

That's what you get for not checking the errata every 5 minutes...

I'm agreeing with this sentiment more and more.

Definitely. Otherwise, you're taking a spell that's useful about every other combat and making it almost totally worthless.

I dunno. It's a great spell for sure, but it's not the end-all. Ever since my wizard got his Arcane Gyrocopter he's prepared Feather Fall daily, just in case.

The dwarf is absolutely equal at being a high damage fighter, so long as you take DWT and you use an axe or a hammer. You'll be down +1 to hit vs. a dragonborn or human as a worst-case scenario. Your dwarf abilities more than make up for this. Second Wind as a minor action is godlike. That means...

Yeah, who wants a challenge? It's better to quit the first time things get difficult! To the OP: I believe your problem is stemming from daily powers, as well. If you do not want to alter your playstyle (and that's your choice, no right or wrong answer to that) I would suggest changing the...

If the barbarian is nonmagical, then the druid also has to be nonmagical; how can a power source be magical in nature for one class, but not for another?

Sound advice, but that's not what the rules actually say. The rules say "make a DC 20 check, learn the monster's powers". So once you hit level 4, you're working with over a 50% chance per character per fight of knowing what the opponent can do.

I can see the following multiplayer turn-based RPGs from my seat: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 Pokemon Pearl Pokemon LeafGreen They're all for a handheld, and I've gotten all of them within the last 6 months.

Couldn't imps summon big nasties in 2e? It's been a long time since I've seen those books...

Yeah, I'm not really worried about the DC 15, or even the DC 25 checks. It's that DC 20 check. Suffice to say, after reading your post, I feel as though I've given out far, far more information than I ever should have. I pretty much ruined the most important encounter of the campaign so far...

Forked from: Knowledge skills in combat Has anyone noticed that monster knowledge skills are very good now? My PCs know every resistance, power, weakness, name, type, and keyword of approximately 95% of every encounter they come across. Is this intended? If so, why even bother with things...
