    KotS treasure

    Correct. Both H1 and H2 have the proper NUMBER of items (12 each...) but neither of them have the proper item levels, and of course, the desirability of many of the items is a bit lacking (Bag of Holding is a perfect example of an item that I'd expect a 5th level character to *purchase*, but...

    KotS treasure

    It matches the quantity, but is a bit low on the levels (as is H2)...

    Converting 1st/2nd Edition Modules to 4th Edition

    Keep in mind that even a dungeon isn't a static place. When the PC's take a short rest, the monsters aren't simply standing around idle. When the PC's leave and go to town, things change. So, when running a dungeon crawl, these things come into play. If there are monsters who don't initially...

    Converting 1st/2nd Edition Modules to 4th Edition

    You have to break out of the mold of "one room, one encounter". 4E encounters can often involve several rooms and are supposed to be mobile and dynamic. When looking at a 30 room dungeon from 1st edition, instead of looking at each room as a single encounter, you need to group rooms together...

    Any Thurderspire (H2) aides?

    I have all the source images saved as hi-res Illustrator or Photoshop files, so I can send you whatever you like. Just send me a PM with whatever you are interested in?

    Any Thurderspire (H2) aides?

    I wouldn't mind at all. Do you think they are high res enough to make decent printed battlemats?

    Any Thurderspire (H2) aides?

    Hires reproductions of H2 Maps I've created Hires (50 pixels per square) reproductions of the first 5 maps in H2 and posted them here: http://www.cyberdeck.org/fantasygrounds/TL/ The first two (Into the Mountain and Chamber of the Eyes) were done with Dundjinni, the last three with Photoshop...

    Flanking with a ranged weapon?

    Does this mean you can provide flanking using a ranged weapon without being adjacent to the target? ASCII art: Rng - - - - NPC Rog The Rng is four squares away, the Rog is adjacent, is the NPC flanked?

    Combat takes too long

    Keep in mind that Rogues only get sneak damage to ONE ATTACK per round. It's hard to get used to that change from 3x, but that's how it is :)

    The trouble with 365_Bazaar

    It's an immediate reaction because you are reacting to the Hit. It's not a free action because you can't take it whenever you like. You can ONLY trigger the power when you score a successful Hit with the weapon, hence, it's a power you can activate as an immediate reaction to the act of...

    The best of feats, the worst of feats...

    Please explain "multiclassing fully into Warrior of the Wild gaining TS". As Twin Strike is a Ranger at-will power, and none of the multi-class feats grant access to At-Will powers, I'm wondering what you mean...

    KoTS Battlemaps (Large scale for Projectors and Tiles) - Now with both floors!

    I recreated all the maps for H1 using Dundjinni. They aren't perfect, but they might be helpful to some. These are scaled with 50 pixel squares, making them extremely easy to use with Fantasy Grounds or other VTT software. Get them here: http://www.cyberdeck.org/fantasygrounds/KotS

    How to hurt a party KotS style - Ginnel stay out :-p

    Well, you are running six characters through an adventure designed for 5, and each of them is more powerful than the standard point buy, so yeah, you are going to have to beef it up a bit if you want to challenge them. Not to mention, you have a strong class mix as well. The 28 point buy is...

    New Rogue and Warlord Build Options

    Where are you finding this information in the compendium? So far I see only whats in the PHB. It doesn't even have the feats/powers from Dragon yet, which I believe it is supposed to eventually.

    Can D&D be played without all the mini rules?

    It can be done, but the DM and the players have to be willing to accept more fuzzyness. You have to go with the intent of the powers, not the rules as written. For example, the Rogue power "Bait and Switch" lets you switch places with your target and then shift one square. The intent is most...

    Do Monsters know about a Fighter's Combat Challenge?

    Keep in mind, the monsters and creatures live in a world defined by these rules. They don't have to "learn" about a specific Fighter's "mark" ability any more than you need to "learn" what happens when you step in front of a red car vs. a blue car. The DnD 4e world just "works that way" so any...

    Simple shifting question.

    No, you cannot move through an enemy's square.

    Minions and Temp HP

    No, minions are there to harass and harry the adventurers so that the BBEG can work his shtick. If his shtick happens to be "grant temporary hit points to my allies" then the minions get a little bit more power (maybe that's why they follow him to begin with?) You have to look at the whole...
