Kinda figured, woulda been scared of a first level character that can suck up a 17 point hit lol. I looked at the roll invisiblecastle gave me and just thought "Well, that was a short fight...". Considering all the fighters in the group, was probably a good idea to buff her. We just all have...

This has probably been said, but the thread was "tl;dr". Just do the bloody Forgotten Forge/Shadows of the Last War/Whispers of the Vampire's Blade/Grasp of the Emerald Claw cycle. Eberron is your most interesting setting, and the property that would have the most mass appeal outside the gamer...

Note that I'm not saying I'll never play 4e. Just that it probably won't be for a couple years, if I decide that I like the system even. If I see a lot of Bo9S type stuff in it, I may want to change over eventually. But if they cut that back too much then I probably won't.

Yeah, I was a little shocked at the damage... But then again... I got a really lucky roll (11 on 2d6) and I suppose Half-Giants have a LA+1 for a reason. My whole 10 HP and studded leather aren't exactly making me feel safe though, and his dex isn't exactly stellar, as reflected by his position...

Alex grins wolfishly as the sturdy chain cuts the Warforged boasting short. "I'm sorry, you were sayin somethin? It's not really smart to tempt fate with words like those, the Host love irony. I hope the lesson left an impression on you." He chuckles softly. "Oh yeah, it did." He coils his...

Yes well... If you don't go into the cities, you don't get jobs. The wealthy types who pay adventurers to... adventure... don't like leaving their comfortable city life.

Honestly, the only time I can think of that I'd draw up what I'd consider to be a traditional "dungeon crawl", would be a Mines of Moria type scenario... The PC's need to get somewhere, and there's this ancient, haunted ruin between them and their destination... But I'd always give them the...

Well, I always explained things to my players ahead of time... That actions have realistic consequences in my games, if you break the law repeatedly you will find yourself up against the city guard, and you won't be able to kill them all, because there are thousands in the big cities. And...

Well, I read the OP as implying the PCs have done something illegal, and therefore would be arrested. I'm a fan or realistic consequences... You can't oppose the city guard, there are simply too many of them. Send 10, if the PCs resist, then the guard takes it more seriously, and the next time...

Wow... Invisible castle likes me O.O I think I just pulped our first encounter. Maybe it's a good thing this was point buy build O.O

(When his turn comes up...) Alex sees the Warforged, and the glint of its axe as it delivers its threat. He grins, lets a bit of chain slip through his fingers so that a length dangles from his fist as he advances, saying, "Oy! Scrapbucket! You picked the wrong day to threaten me!" He grins...

(Sorry, was switching from myth-weavers to campaign-blog, and forgot to set the public permissions... Fixed now. I don't see the enemy Warforged on the map though... There's no C)

Just surround them with numbers they (obviously) can't beat. 1000 soldiers with a few decent level classed NPCs as officers is a pretty good way of making the point.

I don't understand the people who vote setting. If that were the case, Eberron would not be D&D (And I'm aware that there are any number of players who hold to that opinion...). I guess you can make the case that setting and flavor are D&D, but in that case I'm not interested in playing D&D...

Heh, there's a reason I avoided having dungeons in my adventures when GMing. It's just... unrealistic. Stop laughing! But seriously, most of my stuff plays out in cities and inns, the occasional backwater village, camping on the road, etc. Once in a great, great while I might throw in a...

See though, I don't understand that. I played D&D in junior high, got bored with it, and quit. I probably would never have started playing it again were it not for things like Eberron, the Tome of Battle, Magic of Incarnum, and so on. I can't imagine going back to Fighter, Barb, Rogue, Monk...

I'm still at a loss to understand why anyone would feel a need to change over to a new system that won't have but a few books out. Won't you miss the mass of extra content you get with 3.5's current array of books?

Alex grunts. "I don't know that I'm either. I'm just havin' a bad day, and the thought of a fight cheered me up. But as much as it would make me feel better to pound on someone, I'm not in the habit of startin' fights for no reason." He glances about at the others gathered around, and then...

Alex stops for a moment, takes in the situation, and then sighs heavily and slumps. "Khyber.", he curses under his breath, then glancing around at everyone and seeing there doesn't appear to be a fight brewing. He grumbles, "What a lousy day, I can't even get in a fight properly." He lowers...

I vote RAW. IMHO, it's designed to be used by martial adepts with speed enhancing powers. Charge, or give up the benefit. Although, honestly, it's kind of moot. I mean, who would spend a feat for 1d6 of damage you can only use once per combat?
