To add to Lanefan's reply, there are optional rules for critical hits in AD&D 2E's Dungeon Master Guide, Combat & Tactics and Spells & Magic.

379 and 382, unless you're playing AD&D. ;) Hurl Breath is from Dragon 365 (a free issue) and was reprinted in Player's Handbook Races: Dragonborn. Edit: Yes.

If you have access to DDI, you can build a lightning-based invoker for the heroic tier, though there's no appropriate level 3 encounter power. Starting at paragon you'd have to add thunder powers to the mix (as there's also no lightning-based paragon path), and by epic tier there are no...

I like this article very much. Enabling at-will attacks as minor actions is what the battle cleric needed IMO, and he got it. Dead monsters don't crit. :D Well done, Mearls.

Yeah, WoA has more magic items that allow a second attack on your hero's turn. Poison is nasty when the dice are cold. Also, I have the impression that the encounter cards in CR are nastier, as is appropriate for its genre. The monsters seem a bit stronger to me, too; there's more area damage...

You missed being cursed in addition to being dazed and poisoned. But that's why you have Quinn and Keyleth in WoA. :D To my group it feels less threatening than CR, and we're always playing with the "Ashardalon Arrives!" card regardless of which scenario we're in. We haven't lost a single game...

Me too ;). If there were an FLGS in my vicinity I'd love to order it there. There's an LGS nearby, but it's got a bad reputation among the gamers in my group, so I won't go there.

The rulebook is available for download: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/DDGCON_Rulebook_EN.pdf I've got the game on pre-order from Amazon Germany. (I hope they don't mess it up this time... *cough*WoA*cough*.)

That would be über-awesome. :cool: Birthright's Shadow World fits well with the Shadow power source, plus it has a ton of unique BBEG's in the paragon and epic tiers. An Elemental-flavored Al-Qadim could also fit the bill, as could a heavily Primal Maztica that's been transplanted to Abeir...

ppaladin123 compiled a list with info on gods and their dominions in 4e. Vecna's entry reads:

The upcoming Neverwinter Campaign Setting should answer that.

Eldritch Bolt is a hexblade power from HoFK. Eldritch Strike is from the Player's Handbook Heroes miniatures; it can be taken instead of Eldritch Blast and counts as an MBA.

Nah, I was just going by class features. ;) :)

Looks good. They could have included Eldritch Strike under the Eldritch Blast class feature, but that's a minor complaint. I'm surprised they didn't do this. I mean, it's been a common and justified complaint since 2008, and I can't think of a reason to leave it as MAD as it is.

Throw-and-Stab is called a Marauder, and there's a second, earlier Hunter (MP2). It's more like: Arcanist/Orb of Deception, Arcanist/Orb of Imposition, Arcanist/Staff of Defense, Arcanist/Tome of Binding, Arcanist/Tome of Readiness, Arcanist/Wand of Accuracy, Mage/Enchantment, Mage/Evocation...

It's on Toril (the planet), pretty much where Maztica once was, far to the west of Waterdeep and Baldur's Gate across the Trackless Sea.

I do receive xp, they're just not displayed. I can see them on my settings page. :)

I found it. Forgotten Realms Adventures had random spell lists for wizard spells with frequencies of Common, Uncommon, and Rare. B-)

Which book was that in? I used a rarity system for spells in my modified Birthright rules, but I can't remember where I stole that from. :)

As renau1g mentioned, there's Paragon Multiclassing at level 11. There are three feats you need to have to make use of that option, namely Novice Power, Acolyte Power and Adept Power (all in the Player's Handbook). These feats allow you to swap the utility, encounter and daily powers of your...
