... the PCs are trying to assemble a group of Paragons to save the world from defilers, while cognizant of the fact that the people they are trying to recruit may be even worse. ... its snowing in late summer. ... The party fights under the sign of an inn they used to own, now mounted on as...

really are there ever enough of these threads? add you tales from the table. heavy gamer #1 "hey where did you get that zinger?" (Its like a chocolate Twinkie) heavy gamer #2 "A guy jumped me in the bathroom, so I killed him and took his stuff." DM "The captain valiantly forfeits a seat on...

I would be happy to have more essential clerics. One of my biggest problems with the 4e cleric is not in stats but in flavor. Clerics of different gods were too similar - being able to take 1 or 2 mediocre feats, if you want to, did little to change this. Since I use homebrewed gods, the...

The fair fumble rule I came up with for 3/3.5 specifies that: 1. only the first attack roll in a round can result in a fumble. 2. fumbles can be averted with a dex check (DC 10 or 15 if the PC/monster is doing something stupid or precarious) my fumble charts were similar to others posted here.

an important question is do you want immediate consequences? or some delay? * a stumble in combat provokes an attack of opportunity. * in the next combat, your first swing is so wild that after the hit you are dazed till end of your next turn. * after 1d4 attacks by enemies, the next hit on...

put me in the none of the above column. expertise, improved initiative and paragon defenses are all must haves. (as you tried to exclude them) since I'm sticking with whats available in the down-loadable CB im going to miss out on the new options to taking these must have feats. If I'm...

Picked up my copy, as soon as the FLGS had them on shelves - I really like the adventure Cairn of the Winter King that came with the book, If you have a chance to play it, don't read it. If your running a game near level 4 then see if you can slip it in. Lots of opportunity for RP, the...

Sounds cool, although I will be adding a lot of these critters by hand into the existing monster builder.

Im really loving the reworked monsters, ill get monster Vault as soon as it is released, at my FLGS - about the 4th right?

Play report. The creepy was not entirely successful, but a fun adventure. The most memorable moments were the PCs almost escaping the haunted reefs, only to hit a summoned storm that blew them right back in. The cold, wind and rain made more of an impression on the players than the creepy...

My players loved this encounter - both sides went to great trouble to avoid being hit by the "Spiky ball of elemental death." They were disappointed when afterward I told them how little it actually did. Giving it +2 to hit +5 damage would help it out. you could upgrade the dragon...

In the dark and storm you can only guess at the islands size - 600-700' tall, and a mile or two long. It seems to be merely a mass of piled boulders, with little or no plant life. The sound of the storm winds whistling over the rocks sets you on edge, or is it more than the wind? Current...

I have a warforged warlord/warden with a warlock multi-class. His name is probably Warren. I advanced him to 11th level and he isn't a terrible defender, prolly on par with a non-shielding swordmage, or a Str paladin. ill post his summary when I have more time.

Im looking for links/ suggestions to build a sense of fear and creepy strangeness. For a Halloween adventure. PCs are on a ship, and nearly out of resources. They have fought of pirates, devils, a Slaad infested crew mate. They have also had a dead albatross drop onto the ship, and run-over...

my FLGS (enchanted grounds, Denver) charges 2$ a person for LFR and encounter games. Then the DM gets a 10$ gift card. They have about 18 LFR games a month +2 tables of encounters. Its occasionally been annoying but its a good deal for the DM's. I have no other reason to run LFR, as I...

Im writing an invisible maze for next week. I think I can explain why it is floating in the air, otherwise it will be stone. it has 4 ranged monsters, 3 melee monsters, 5 pits (30') regularly spaced, so they can be anticipated. 6 walls that are actually 1' lattices (like a portcullis) It...

One of my PCs just got an artifact to (pleased) status and it told him that it would now provide the magic components for one ritual each day. His reaction "I was just thinking of throwing this into the burning lake to see if I could destroy it, you must really want me to keep this. Oh well I...

You can also take sudden roots - slow on OA is golden. if you do you can retrain Weight of earth into thorn strike - I love that reach/pull option. I just made a Widen/Warden @ 8th lvl for a LFR game tomorrow. I also started with a Kopesh (love the flavor) but switched to battle axe. ill let...

woot. hmm no word on the patch, must be an even older thread. Maybe they coverit in the wiki...
