I just made it so tougher minions can take two hits instead of one. A critical I ruled counted as two hits.

No matter the level, I want falls to be something a character would dread. It is a simple mechanic to allow it to remain as deadly at higher levels as lower levels. So no acceleration based on level, just a mechanic that attempts to keep the deadliness fairly consistent with level.

Falling Rules: Damage for fall: Distance fallenx2 + 3d10 for Heroic, +4d10 for paragon, and +5d10 for Epic. Yes, deadly.

When I DM minions, I never describe them any different than the other monsters they are with. I always mix them in groups of regular ones. That way the players never know which is which. It makes the battles more interesting.

I love the Doppleganger. Easy way to do his power, not over powered. I allowed one of my PC's to run a Doppleganger.

He already has got into in the past. He knows his ground. Joe is a very smart person. It is not a challenge. He is producing something that he has done in the past, a module with acceptable generic terms. It would be WOTC that would have to challenge, and they would not do that. It is...

The Roman army had portable ballista. I would say it would take about a minute to set-up, and two move actions by two different people to cock. Firing is a standard action by an individual. Proficiency bonus +3. I would tend to go high in damage considering the inflation of hit points in 4E...

4E DM'ing prep brings me back to the joys of DM'ing 1E. I have my gaming session with 8-10 players tomorrow. Last adventure things took an unexpected turn as a hard encounter got turned harder by a greedy Rogue, and the party having no tactics what-so-ever (usually very good at it). Out of 8...

If I had to bet 100 here is what I would bet: WOTC is not making special licenses available. If you are using the GSL, you cannot sell before August(?). Therefore, Goodman Games is not going under the GSL initially. Publishing a 4E adventure module for him is going to be easy. He has...

Free + 3 rituals

What made their shields effective was the formations they fought in and the training to use them in formation. In individual combat, their are better shields. For trained formation fighting, they are hard to beat. I would reflect it in special abilities when the shield is used. As a minor...

Sunrods suck.

Cool. I am really enjoying DM'ing it. It is simple on the DM's side, easy to wing (just keep notes when winging it!). On the players side, so far they like it. So far the players think it is more challenging than 3.x, as far as combat. I run a larger group of 8-10 players on game night. It...

I feel you Wis. Maybe your name should be Wisdom Bonus?

They had to put the cheese in because a lot of people like it with their whine.

It does nothing except put the XP in line then with challenge.

I have had that in every edition.....

Here is the link to another style of old character sheet with skills listed. Somewhere is a thread with an editable version, and I have another version of this one with minor changes that I have not posted. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=224313&page=1

Great Sheet!

Make the zombie a 1st level minion. Done and solved.
