I love the world building aspects of being a DM and making homebrewed sandbox style campaign settings is one of my favorite things. One of the most disappointing things about world building is that as a DM you often end up with reams of paper filled with notes about your setting and it various...

A few regular posters had offered to review and offer improvements for my Spear (trident) and Shield Fighter. His favored attack is Tide of Iron which through feat support allows him to push opponents 15' and knock them prone. It was suggested I look at other powers which might build off this...

This past weeks gaming session reminded me of the one thing that 4E does better than any previous edition IME the boss fight. This past week our 11th level party fought an aspect of Dagon (a watered down version) and the battle hit all the right notes. The feeling of an overwhelming threat...

Putting the mechanic of surges aside for the moment would any non or reluctant 4E adopters still be put off by warlord healing if it instead granted temp hit points? What about fellow 4E players if warlord were altered in this fashion would it ruin the class for you?

Hello Mods, I am seeking clarification of the policy regarding the reposting of wotc material. I have a thread in the 4E house rule / fan creation section regarding the conversion of some weapons of legacy to 4E. I was wondering in an attempt to kick start the process can I post the stats of a...

Hey Folks, Has anyone done any 4E conversions for Weapons of Legacy they might be willing to discuss or share. I need a game plan to convert the items from Barrow of the Forgotten King/Sinister Spire/Fortress of the Yuan-Ti to 4E. Sadly even though WotC did a 4E conversion of the last of the...

I see that a thread asking for a scan of the map from N1 was locked down as a policy violation. When did this change? I can recall quite clearly several threads where people posted scans of module maps to help out other members here. One in particular was a review of the Barrow of the...

I have been comtemplating the possibility of converting my 3.x campaign to 4E. One significant conversion hurdle I am about to turn my attention to are Weapons of Legacy since the party in question already has two of them and were positioning themselves to acquire a couple more. Have any of...

Does The paragon tier feat Arcane Reach affect the shielding swordmage aegis?

Although I have been playing 4E for some time now, I have yet to run a game. This is about to change as I am planning a one-shot game a couple weeks from now. As a part of this one-shot I have been studying and trying to plan a skill challenge. After thinking things over I have a plan forming...

Hello Folks, I am trying to locate the rules/mechanics for converting "normal" monsters into minions. I have looked through the DMG and MM several times but cannot seem to locate conversion rules or any kind of template to apply. Assuming of course that the conversion isn't simply set hit...

Forked from: Would Luna Lovegood make a great Jedi Padawan (then later on, a great Jedi Knight) ? Speaking of Star Wars this post reminds me of one of the things that happened to Star Wars that really bothers me...friggin Midi-chlorians. Why oh why did the force have to be rendered so...

Well in our 4E game last night we got a first hand dose of the grind that is 4E combat. This is not to say that the battle was boring, it was certainly not, but it certainly felt like it took forever. The party: 2nd level warlord, wizard, warlock, swordmage, and rogue. Plus two NPC clerics...

Has there been much information leaked about the 4E Druid? For instance has it finally been confirmed as a PHB2 class? In light of the Ranger getting an animal companion only through a specific build/path, I wonder if that will also be the case with the druid instead of the animal companion...

Fighter Utility 2 Does this effect continue once your no longer bloodied, for example does it go until the end of the encounter?

I had the pleasure of playing a Paladin recently for a 4E one shot. I am now faced with the task of making a Paladin for what will likely be a long term campaign. This has of course led to look over the entire sweet of Paladin Powers across all 30 levels. I have to say the more I look the more I...

Who wins in a fight and why??

Hi folks, before I share me first 4E plyer experience let me set out a few disclaimers. The game had 7 total people 4 of whom had basically never played dnd before and three who had never played 4E before (one of whom was kind enough to DM). The Party; a Dwarf Cleric, Human Fighter, Halfling...

Has anyone seen an official ruling on temporary hitpoints in 4E? It has been suggested that a paladin could use his at will power which grants him a number of temporary hitpoints equal to his wisdom bonus over and over in an encounter to boost his hitpoints and that these increases from the same...

Any DMs out there who ran the Sinister Spire that have a map of Pedestal without the encounter keys. I would loved for you to post a copy or a link if your willing to share. It seems like its meant to be a sort of base of operations for the PCs its a shame Wizards didn't include a player handout...
