    Why are there no sneaky leaders?

    I see an at-will called "Overrun" in your future: Action: Move Effect: Move up to your speed before making the following attack: Attack: Str vs Fort Target: An adjacent enemy. Hit: The target is knocked prone. IIRC, you can move through the square of a prone enemy; this allows the heavy-armor...

    PH3 - Dual Classing

    Wait, you mean the Avenger? (Didn't the flavor text sound familiar to anyone else? The +1 (or better) to all defenses? The multiple attacks? The armor restrictions? About the only thing they missed is the unarmed strikes, which never worked all that well anyway, IMHO. Maybe it would've...

    Math behind PC defenses and to hit VS monsters ?

    A lot of the posts I've seen have talked about the range from level 1 to level 30. At level 1, however, you can't fight monsters of under your level, which is supposed to happen a fair amount of the time. (One encounter of under your level, three of your level, and three of your level + 1...

    Barbarian and Avenger defenses (Forked Thread: Thaneborn Barbarians)

    Two problems. The first is that if Armor of Faith is an armor bonus, it needs to get a +1 at Paragon and Epic, the same as every other light armor (because of masterwork armors). The second is more serious: the Avenger can't enchant himself, and would thereby miss out on +6 over 30 levels...

    Beware this dire warning. Ignore it at your peril!

    Also, this sounds like a case where the "no gotcha abilities" rule comes into play. The GM should have let you and your party know that the wizard was going home for the night if nobody healed him, because of the way the monster works. ("The purple worm tastes blood and reflexively starts...

    Stealth: There are two levels of "hidden", not one

    Whether or not it's necessary to formalize two different levels of stealth, I agree that there clearly /are/ two different levels. In particular, the TWYCS rules, based on its modifiers, are pretty clearly talking about targetting something based on what you can hear*, because you /can not/ see...

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    Seeker will hand the link over for Reason to look at, and then meditate, to see if he gets any ideas on what it may have come from. Since I don't know what to roll on -- if anything -- Knowledge (Arcana) and (Religion): +15 and +15, Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering): +5, Knowledge...

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    Spot and Listen modifiers are +6, Search (untrained) at +2. Seeker will ask Melina for a Detect Magic sweep. He'll also want to extend the search into the alley, where Leatherneck was probably mauled. Seeker would like to Take 20 (with Melina and Reason helping, minimum DC 26), but that may...

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    I like the idea of a forge-as-social-event. :) Since Copper was uninjured, Seeker will definitely fix the smashed-arm 'Forge (who needs a name) up -- he wants to be seen helping 'forged out. After the Detect Magic sweep, Seeker will propose looking where Leatherneck was found, and, assuming...

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    ".... I didn't know you would respond so quickly." Seeker looks up from the map, and around the room. "I am among brothers and sisters; why should I delay?" As if this settled the matter, he continues: "Have all the murders been at night -- or, rather, have all the bodies been found then?"...

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    In summary form: where did Leatherneck and the other seven die (or, at least, were they found)? When? Did you keep the bodies around? (If so, where?) [GM question: to what extent to Warforged bodies rot? Speak with Dead has no time limit; instead, the corpse needs a mouth to speak at all...

    Steel Shadows: a cleric, a juggernaught, and a girl walk into a bar

    The girl briefly skims the letter, starting to bounce as she does. When she finishes reading, speech comes pouring out of her like a brook at spring thaw. "The Red Hammer? Cool! Some of the Changelings I met when you guys were in jail talked about that place. They said it was a great example of...
