I give you Thom Thom Thompson, battle cleric of Thor, a character in one of my 4th edition Wilderlands campaigns. Thom Thom uses a cast-iron pan statted as a warhammer, and wears Blackiron Scale Armor which gives him Resist 5 (fire), so he can reach right into the campfire coals to pull out a...

Thanks. I agree with the poster in that thread. It works in the RAW (heal unconscious characters), but seems odd. One character falls to a spear, and lays bleeding at -5 hit points. The warlord can on his turn use Inspiring Word to bring this character (with at least one remaining healing surge...

Can a warlord use "Inspiring Word" to bring a character back from sub-zero hit points? Thanks for your thoughts...

Is this Legacy of the Savage Kings?

I listened to the first portion of the adventure, but had to stop listening. It sounded like one of the players was rolling a die in a ceramic bowl right next to the microphone as a fidgety habit or something. It was loud. Any chance this person got a 'talking to' about this after the session...

If they don't have the chance to burn an action point, they shouldn't get to earn one either...

I'm running a couple of 4E campaigns right now, both using an "Awesome Bonus" variant. At each level a +1 bonus is given to one of five categories (damage, to hit, AC, other defenses, d6 on crit). This group is cycled six times, and at level 30, characters will have +6 in each. With these...

I'm also away from my books, but this just came up last game, so I'm pretty fresh. See "Temporary Hit Points", page 293-294, notably "Don't Add Together" section. Without this ruling, the second level warlock had 70 hit points by the end of the battle last week....

I can't nominate either. I get the same "not logged in" screen. I tested using both Chrome & Firefox. Running WinXP.

You could use a move action to move anywhere you like in any direction, followed by a charge. However, once you are in to the charge portion of your turn you must move to the nearest square from which you can attack the enemy. So you could use a move action to move anywhere legal you like in...

Random, with an emphasis on a sizable difference between the extremes.

All I'm looking for are adventures...

Gah. Total brainfart. I must have looked right past it, as that was the page I had opened as I was posting... :blush:

Hobgoblin Soldiers have a Flail attack that deals damage, slows the target, and "...the target is marked until the eend of the hobgoblin warrior's next turn." "Marked" is not a condition. What is it specifically, and where is this defined?

I'm running two groups right now. One is 5 (soon to be 6?) players strong, and the other is 4 (5 next session). I am running them both through KotS right now, and we are having a blast. I look forward to introducing them to the Goodman stuff.

I picked up Sellswords of Punjar and Dragora's Dungeon this week. Harley Stroh is the man. It's very nice to finally hear his voice in this new edition. I'm very excited about this. Goodman will be getting my money.

My other: H1-H3 modules from WotC, and Goodman Games DC53 and M1.

Thanks all for the responses. I like Syrsuro's "spend a point for a secondary die" approach. The fact that it is a decision made up front helps me a bit with my "why wouldn't the player ALWAYS re-roll a whiff?" mental block.

Hmmm.... I suppose I should have posted this in House Rules. If I could move it I would...

I have let my players twice use an Action Point to re-roll missed attacks. I'm concerned that this might be too much power for an action point. Can I please hear some concrete reasons why this is unbalancing?
