    I'm Sick Of...(D&D tropes that you can do without)

    Exactly. I am currently taking steps (with player approval) to limit tropes we dislike and express those we like: Adventure, Intrigue, Cleverness over Dungeon Crawling, Rule Lawyers, and others.

    D&D 4E The New Monster Math, Explained and Expanded

    Are the Goons Balanced as 1/2 standard monsters? I haven't tried them yet, but so far my players have no problems tearing open the Damage Threshold for the Minions I've used.(which would be 10 at Level 8) even without the damage rolls most times, and the Goons at Damage Threshold 16 would still...

    [House Rules] Speeding Up Combat

    Escalation die sounds great! I will try it on my next session as well. I use these bonus rules and they work rather well. Brutal shakeoff works really well against those Controllers, but don't be too greedy with them! Too Savvy for Tricks is the Elite/Solo version from Marvelous Monsters...

    D&D 4E Value of DDI for existing 4e tools and resources?

    I have masterplan but because my group doesn't have much mobile tech (desktops, no laptops) I use it mostly to help myself plan and make monster stat-sheets to print and use. For building effective MM3 style monsters, I use Marvelous Monsters and either Masterplan or Monster Maker. I've yet to...

    Need some allies for an evil fey controller

    You can probably demote it into an Elite. 513 HP (Stolen from Fomorian Butcher) Chaosborn kicks in at 385, 257, 129- The new heads can also go with the seasons idea instead of normal Chaosborn heads. Same defenses. Make it Resist 10 instead. Saving Throws is +2 Speed Same. AP+1 Redo the damage...

    I'm Sick Of...(D&D tropes that you can do without)

    My biggest peeve ever. Fluff is fluff. Crunch is Crunch. You can change fluff to whatever as long as DM is OK with it- If you want scorching burst and another fire power with an effect, I'm all for refluffing a different power. BUT: Then you have people sticking straight to published fluff...

    He is evil. Why? FOR DE EVULZ. Yeah, right. Also: Dragonborn=Bahamut=GOODY GOOD GOOD. D:<. This must have come from 3.5 when you actually have to devote yourself as good to be reborn as dragonborn (afaik), but in 4.0 Dragonborn are just... civilized lizardmen (basically). Good, bad, nuetral...

    The army behind the army

    Don't forget logistics isn't merely food. Logistics is brining enough blacksmiths to make replacements and repairs. Logistics is brining that engineer company to span that bridge the enemy burned. Logistics is also holding areas you conquered, especially after taking a stronghold able to project...

    D&D 4E The New Monster Math, Explained and Expanded

    I used it twice. Once to get rid of -2 for the Crit Fail homerule (grants CA and -2 to attack and damage, AKA -2 to everything), which failed. Another time to get rid of -9 to all defenses by a Psion, which succeeded, and let him survive 2 hits, save it for real at the end of that turn, and...

    Ideas for Inmates in a Prison Setting

    Hand off a note/message to a certain prisoner, but you have to figure it out through riddles/stuff and other prisoners also know some, but not all, of the answers. (Stealth) A prisoner drew something in blood that people are interested in checking out. (magical? Summoning?) Someone is attacking...

    Where Should My Thread Be?

    Thank you very much for your replies. I will post depending on the quality I can expect from my player journals (I will be writing my own, of course, but I have a rotating voluntary journal going around)-if it is very high, I would make 2 threads. If it is not, I will just make it in the 4e...
