    How to gain Combat Advantage

    When encounter starts throw a dagger at enemy that hasn't acted yet. Keep out of the way. Judging by the rules you get Combat Advantage against any enemy that is suprised - so that may be a first sneak attack - but then you also get First Strike which may only apply to Initiative Order of the...

    Indiana Jones 4 and KotS similarities? *Spoilers*

    Lets face the only one that is truly brilliant is The Lost Ark. Why? Because of its subtlety. It is only as 'fantastical' as it needs to be and because of that it has an element of mystery and suspension of disbelief. Subtlety is a lost art today. (not pointing my finger at 3E/4E artwork or...

    Map-making Tools

    Are those Coat of arms generated through software, and if so can it go by proper heraldic rules. I'm a pedant.

    Fleshing out Keep on the Shadowfell/Winterhaven

    It could be worse. They could have had the ghost of Kevin Keegan knocking about with his whitefro perm.

    When the climax fails

    I think what some have said is a good idea. My take on their suggestions is this - tell them their characters ARE going to die right from the start of making them. Tell them the try out adventure is just to teach the way it works and to try out a character. If they like the classes they are...

    Fleshing out Keep on the Shadowfell/Winterhaven

    To invest the characters in the plot have one of them come from there. You could make them a relative of one of the plot characters. They could be visiting their home they left years ago. Plus have that character have visit the keep when they were young - the old dare on Halloween plot...

    The Travesty! The Horror! Male Medusae.

    If I was bothered about MMs being classically accurate I would have never picked any of them up. In fact, if any of them were classically accurate I probably would never have picked any of them up. I can't stand classic Greek/Roman mythology. It's all about having sex with your mother, falling...

    Zombie Minions are too weak

    RESTRAINED * You grant combat advantage. * You're immobilized. * You can't be forced to move by a pull, a push, or a slide. * You take a -2 penalty to attack rolls.

    Term Confusion in KOTS, help!

    If I was to rule it this is my logic: A crit causes maximum damage, or looked at another way, maximum effect. The maximum effect of a sleep spell is sleep. So I would rule that the individual target that a crit is rolled against automatically falls asleep - with save to end. It would be nice...

    Impressions from KotS

    I know how it does it. He replaces sleep with a little cry at the end of a busy day and he is all refreshed. I don't know how he manages to go without weeing all day, though. Hang on maybe that is what he is crying.

    Impressions from KotS

    I'm almost with you, but not quite. In my version the sleeping character wakes up just in time to grab the assassin's wrist and stop the blade cutting the artery (? I can't spell, but I know it isn't that.) The victim pushes the assassin off him with blood pooring down his chest, but the wound...

    Zombie Minions are too weak

    I thought that they should have the zombie grab ability. Plus I think they should have some sort of mob ability/bonus. I think giving all zombies Zombie Grab and also -1 to attempt to escape the grab per adjacent zombie would make them truly scary. Zombie Horde. When trying to escape a Zombie...

    Grrr... can't find Keep on the Shadowfell!

    Same here - my estimate disappeared "we'll email you with your new estimate" blah, blah, arse.

    D&D 4E Warhammer fantasy 4E D&D - Proposed House Rules?

    Perhaps create pre-class careers. They would be like classes, but their powers would work up to them. HPs would work up, BAB of +0, craft/profession skills. It might be a bit dull, though. I have been looking into Warhammer, just while I'm waiting, and I must admit the setting looks...

    D&D 4E 4E PHB Viewing at Games Plus, what we saw

    Dictaphone while you are reading aloud (people around you will appreciate that) or find a savant to speed read all 3 and afterwards ask him stuff.

    Ready and Delay?

    I take it that if you do not get your action triggered your next turn comes up and you go through your turn as normal(damage - choose actions). If you want to continue delaying the whole process carries on. Do you get to roll saves on your turn after you have decided to delay? a. Suffer...

    Is Eldrain the New Rouge?

    I'd be happy if they just got to/too right. Oh, and correct hyphen use. And those people that write paragraphs of stuff that grammatically make no sense at all as if they are writing a mobile text. Kill Eldrain, especially the rouge ones.

    A Doubters Review

    The first time we gave up because we all kept giggling. The second time the only thing I remember is my mate playing Stubby(actually my mates nickname because he was short) the dwarf walked straight up to the Carrion Crawler (the red box basic adventure in Mistamere Castle) and hit him for 10hp...

    A Doubters Review

    Nice to see a balanced view from a doubter. I can't stand the '4E is crap no matter what' people. I don't mind them existing, I just can't understand why they come on forums about 4E just to dampen everyone else when they have no interest anyway. I found your comments very interesting. The...
