    Has mocking a DM's upcoming bad guys ever been a good idea?

    In 3e the thing that strikes the most fear into players is loss of magic weapons, send in somthing that has improved sunder or a trap that will drain the magic from their weapons for a time. I've alwasy found that when they player get full of them selfs you need to strike a little fear into...

    Best and worst of 4th Ed. Monsters

    I have the FR book but did not read it in all that much detail. After reading the Blazing Rorn, i agree 100% very cool monster I may take some of the ideas out of his stat block and use them for some lower level monsters. Thanks

    Best and worst of 4th Ed. Monsters

    The Problem with creatures like the purple worm is that who ever did the stats for him did not fallow the advice from the DMG. Elite Solo The purple worm does not have these kinds of powers. You could ether take off it's Solo\Elite abilities(+def, action points, and Hit point) and use...

    Are Monster templates necessary?

    This would be great, and as another posted said it does sound like somthing that would be great in the DMG2. I really love how you can do this now for the most part. just by adding racial powers and bonues to your creatures.

    Are Monster templates necessary?

    I can totally see them being used for new players or maybe even as a quick change to a monster. I guess when i was playing 3e i found templates a very cool way to change up a monster, the requirements felt like they made since, and hours of work went into each monster. Now with 4e I find that...

    Are Monster templates necessary?

    I agree. The only thing i have used a template for so far is getting an idea for a cool monster power, taking that power and using it with somthing totaly different. You know that's a great point, I had not though about it in that way. I've not been a DM since 1975 by far, only a few years...

    Are Monster templates necessary?

    Here are the Prerequisites... "Prerequisites: Living creature, level 11, Charisma 13" If it's just for flavor i guess i understand. I was thinking from a stats point of view.

    Are Monster templates necessary?

    Are Monster Templates necessary? The recent open grave preview reminded me of an issue that I’ve had with monster templates in 4th Edition. Is there really a need for these? When I want a monster to have a new power or ability I give it to them. I don’t feel that it needs to meet an ability...

    D&D 4E How to build encounters in 4e (aka Only you can prevent Grindspace!)

    I've found that el=pc level is an easy fight. However my players are experianced, and I can see that if you were the dm for some new players el=pc level would be about right

    Walking wounded: Anyone else having problems with this power?

    As a dm this power has messed with my plans from time to time, For example if i wanted the "boss" to get out to anther room, or something along those lines i really screws with my plans. It’s not that big of a deal, but having a teleporting monster is a great idea. But I agree it's not over...

    Walking wounded: Anyone else having problems with this power?

    I've got a rogue in my party who has taken this power, at first i thought not a big deal, however whenever there is a boss fight this is the power that is used on him. Now this is never a problem when the boss is a brute or soldger type, however when they need to be moble it tends to be a big...
