    Speeding up combat in 4th edition D&D (Reposted from general RPG area)

    Are you reading my mind? Or perhaps we just think alike!

    Speeding up combat in 4th edition D&D (Reposted from general RPG area)

    As Lion's DM I am very interested in what ENWorld has to say about this. We've had a single encounter take up to 4 hours of game time and to me this is unacceptable. @keterys: I am already planning to do something like that. I really believe that one of our biggest problems is PC's that...

    Ranged bow build help

    I'd swap Hunter's Teamwork for the one that allows you to shift before or after your attack, but I can't recall the name of it since that is what you said you want to be able to do. For a level 2 Utility power there is one that allows you to shift (WIS mod squares?) as a reaction to being...

    Vulnerabilities: an underutilized mechanism?

    I believe that is correct.

    Looking ahead on the Shaman

    Target AC is always about 15-17 + level for non-defenders. At first level this works out to 16-18.

    Vulnerabilities: an underutilized mechanism?

    In a home campaign if I was going to do this I think I would balance the monsters that get more vulnerabilities against any PC that has some sort of at-will power that does that damage type. For example if the party has a rogue with a flaming weapon that can convert all attacks with the sword...

    bobcat try this: WinAPI How To Retrieve the Regional Settings Currency Symbol This link has the info how to declare the API call in VB. If you're using C# you may need to find another example. Once declared pay close attention to these 2 lines in the example: Locale = GetUserDefaultLCID()...

    What to do with a crappy PP power?

    Having read the whole thread I think the reaction you're getting Felon is something along the lines of.... "What's the point in having a Paragon Path if you can just swap out the features you don't like?" To use a 3e analogy I'd say it's like saying "I want to be a Shadowdancer, but I don't...

    Any way of Quarrying more than 1/round?

    With the FAQ answer this debate is kinda moot, but I would be interested in an example of one of these "dozens of other abilities" that would be "meaningless" by such a strict interpretation of specific vs. general. I know of this and at least one other ruling where specific was not specific...

    Any way of Quarrying more than 1/round?

    I agree that the wording may be poor and can even see how you arrive at the alternate meaning or interpretation, but I again have to emphasize that the power does not give you a method of marking quarries nor does it mention anything about modifying Hunter's Quarry to allow you to mark more than...

    Magic items and balance

    About a month and a half ago I wrote a detailed post about bonus scaling regarding FRW, but it also applies to AC (which is scaled correctly due to masterwork armors). http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/267173-non-ac-defenses-4.html#post4981401 Have a look at that and maybe...

    Any way of Quarrying more than 1/round?

    I don't see anywhere in there that it changes the base power Hunter's Quarry. Without such a change how would you designate more than one quarry per minor action spent? I think he read it correctly, but if he doesn't have to move to make two opponents equally close he could mark 2 per round...

    Take a look at this Avenger and..

    @Riga: Re-read posts 4, 5, 15, & 16. You have somehow missed the context of the reply in relation to the question. In post 4 the OP specifically said I can only assume that AofF was supposed to be IAoF and was a typo. All responses after that were pointing out that Improved Armor of Faith...

    Take a look at this Avenger and..

    Yeah...the Avenger in my game had a better than defender AC by reversing his WIS/INT and going Deva (+INT/WIS) so he started with 18 INT (+4) Leather (+2) Armor of Faith (+3) for a 19 AC at level 1. He picked up 2 weapon defense (+1), a double weapon with the defensive property (+1), Improved...

    Adent Champion. Rules lawyers required

    I'm gonna take a wild guess that this thread caused the FAQ entry. I know it's really going out on a limb, but there it is.

    Rules interaction with possible house rule

    @eamon: What I said was "Expertise is not allowed in my game, being replaced currently by a different house rule, but I can see this (Level +3 attack bonus) replacing both of them (Current house rule and Expertise)".

    Rules interaction with possible house rule

    @Stuntman: I'm using the "Intrinsic" option in character builder. There is no difference between a non-magic weapon and a +6 weapon. That bonus is added into the character directly and not part of his gear. I expect this to allow me to hand create magic items for my party and make them...

    D&D 4E Alignment Mechanics in 4e?

    Players that worship (such as Cleric) a Deity of some kind are required to be either Unaligned or the same alignment as the Deity. You'll have to check the specifics of this as I'm not at home, but I think this only comes into play when you take a feat to get one of those powers you use in...

    Rules interaction with possible house rule

    @keterys: I'll have to check a couple of those, but enhancement, level, and stat are for sure covered by this. Expertise is not allowed in my game, being replaced currently by a different house rule, but I can see this replacing both of them. If it helps (offhand) Careful shot would stack...
