    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Ferris enters the room proper...looking for a likely targets of Daynas Divine retribution... "Good-bye..." he says to the shadowy tendril off to his right. As the "thing" resists the burning Radiance Ferris mutters "Or not..." and readies his shield for the inevitable counter-attacks. Start=...

    Anyone else unable to open pacdidj's spoiler boxes? Edit:The one I just made wouldn't open either.

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Did you roll initiative? I couldn't see it in your posts, but I can be myopic sometimes.

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    think we are just doing Surprise Action and rolling initiative ATM-- so just one minor, move or standard.

    Compiled Skill Challege Advice

    Good advice. But one thing I have never seen is an example in play. I don't know why but any skill challenge I have ever run turns out forced and counter-intuitive (granted I have only run those presented in modules) and seems to interrupt the flow of the encounter. I never really grokked the...

    Tactical Markers: What's Your Preference?

    Characters: We use DDM minis... I have a few hundred or so... so they can usually find one close enough to represent their PC. Monsters: I kinda a try to use DDM minis, but most of the time I resort to 1" mini poker chips I bought online a few years ago.. I have 20 each of about 12 colours...

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Well, Pac said we get a surprise round, so I figured why wait :) Then we can do our regular turns after Initiative is resolved.

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Ferris rounds the corner, following the group and sighs when he sees what the corridor contains..."I hate these things..." he mutters as he calls down Dayna's wrath upon the nearest shadow creature. Initiative: 19 Surprise action: Lance of Faith upon RT4: 1d20+5=25:CRIT! , 1d8+4=12 RADIANT...

    New Stat Block... With Pictures...

    Yeah! What was up with the decision to leave out illustrations of some monsters? I could never understand (outside of the obvious space savings) what compelled them to feel that it would be okay to just have vague (or in some cases zero) descriptions of monsters at leave it at that.

    No new adventures?

    Not that wotc has had the best track record with their adventures :p I don't think I'll be missing them. Would be nice for someone else (paizo) to come up to bat.

    I Just Pre-Ordered the 4.5 Red Box...

    Although I would hesitate to call it 4.5, I am also excited about the evolution of the game. As a side note, did any other Canadians notice that this doesn't seem be on Amazon.ca. I also noticed the Master Set Dungeon Tiles were not showing up. Seems odd to have most other D&D stuff, but not...

    My FLGS just put 4E on 50% off discount

    Not completely the same, but last year or so, when trying to find a D&D book at Chapters (Canadian big box bookstore) they told me what D&D stuff they had was behind the counter. Surprised I asked why and he told me they were being stolen! and that Chapters (maybe only their store?) was going...

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    I think its wise to wait and see if we are close to a combat before I use my Healing words... if I don't have 5 minutes to recharge, better off just spending surges (if out of combat atm)

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    "I think whoever is here, knows that they aren't alone anymore..." Ferris states the obvious. History=2

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Ferris looks up at Jezebel's question. "My people on Kythira, don't as a rule build tombs in the rock... but anything is possibe..."

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Nature=29, Perception=18 Perception=23 Ferris recognizes the skull as that of one of his people. He feels no remorse, knowing death is the natural order of things, but wonders about the story behind presence in this tomb.

    Did WotC underestimate the Paizo effect on 4E?

    I am one of those who thinks the PF Ap's are vastly superior than WotC's. However, the point of modules, for me and many others, is that we don't have the time or inclination to create our own. So your assertion (if I am reading it correctly) that there is a large segment of 4e players that...

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    "I'll be rear guard." Ferris states... trying to hide the fact that the days battles have been wearing him down substantially. Try and stick together if you can... Alnar and I have only 5 surges between us, and we need something to keep enemies from ploughing through the lines into us. Plus I...

    Question about Critical Hits

    I think #2 is the correct one. I can't remember where I read this, but am pretty sure Sneak Attack, Hunter's Quarry etc damage is not maxed on a crit. Things may have been errata'ed since then.
