The healing surge loss when the summoning dies is an incentive to dismiss the creature before it dies, as I see it. Wizards (and ranged people in general) get hit the least as well, so they're using less of their healing surges. Unless the party is getting hammered, or something slips past the...

Maybe I just need to go to sleep, but I just had a thought. Incarnum was channeling the power of souls into various effects. That's really similar to what they've described the "ki" power source to be like. So maybe we'll see some incarnum-like stuff whenever the ki classes come out.

Another vote for the H series of modules to be released as a map pack. It'll make things amazinginly easier when running a game online to have the map's already scanned, and unmarked.

Easy enough to miss, since that's about the only place it's spelled out.

You can teleport to escape a grab, and any forced movement(of either the grabber or the grabee) will break the grab, so I'd say that neither is then grabbed. If it's something like the Gelatinous Cube(that pulls a grabbed creature into its space) I'd probably use whatever effects happen when...

At the GenCon when 3rd edition was released, they did a tournament series of modules, where you (as a younger Circle of 8) went into a Wind Duke area to retrieve the Wind Chimes of Law(or something like that). The section I played in had portals for each of the alignments, and they had done the...

One potential problem that's come up for us is extra bennies being used for exp. At least for our group, they tend to horde them(especially in the "Why waste a chip, I'm not going to soak the damage anyways") to get more exp. While those who are suing the bennies as intended, get less...

I picked this up and I like it alot. This is very much not a rules-light game, however. Taking your preferences in order: - The setting is interesting, but very convoluted, and alot of it is optional at that(a lot of hidden things). On the other hand, it's so broad that your going to be...

There was a post (or maybe a podcast) by I believe Mr. Noonan that had stated that he uses minions in the epic tier as 1/8 or even 1/10 of a regular creature, with a similiar reduction in their exp.

The one place it shows anything at all is in Reach. Your GM throw you up against a critter with Reach 4? Get the party to focus on it, and then animate. Now you've got reach 4. :)

It doesn't even require the double weapons to get a d8. The Scourge is a Martial flail weapon that deals d8 damage and the Off Hand property as well.

Actually, since the Genasi are elemental, they don't need to. According to the Primal fluff, the primal spirits awoke to deny the Gods and the Primordials(i.e. elemental powers) a battleground.

Well, i haven't picked this up, so I can't answer most of your questions(and I'm looking forward to what other poeple have to say). However, for fast escapes, you could give the team a scroll of linked portal. Find a safe place for 5 minutes, then *bam* your home free. That might be an...

If you want to maintain the 'it's a freebie' thing that the property allows, you can always make it a free action as well, so it doesn't take up your immediate action. In general, I agree with you here.

They basically piss the creature off so much they don't forget about it in a few seconds. The 15th level one, basically, is the Zorro move of carving your initials in his chest...you ain't forgetting that anytime soon.

According to AV, Beast Companions have one item slot, which can be used either for a "companion" slot item or a "mount" slot item. At least I think so, re: being able to use a "mount" slot. I don't have AV with me atm, unfortunately.

Yes! Now we can being arguing about what the druid should have been about! ;)

Not yet. Maybe when they get around to a Class Act article for Ranger's.

Heh. Writing up a 26th level Warlord for a game, and I'm really wishing the full character builder was going to be up before the game started.

I've got a couple more openings, if anyone is interested. We just started H2. Send me an email at manasven@gmail.com if your interested.
